Muslims threaten Europe’s Christian identity, Hungary’s leader says

Hungary's prime minister, Viktor Orban, has made nationalistic and controversial statements in the past. But with his country emerging as a main gateway for refugees trying to reach richer European nations, his words suddenly carry much heavier weight.

On Thursday, Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper published an op-ed by Orban in which he claimed that he was defending European Christianity against a Muslim influx by stopping thousands of refugees from leaving Hungary. “Everything which is now taking place before our eyes threatens to have explosive consequences for the whole of Europe,” he wrote in the op-ed. "We must acknowledge that the European Union’s misguided immigration policy is responsible for this situation."

"We shouldn’t forget that the people who are coming here grew up in a different religion and represent a completely different culture. Most are not Christian, but Muslim.... That is an important question, because Europe and European culture have Christian roots," he wrote.

It is ironic that the man who wants to save Europe's Christian identity used to have no Christian identity himself. "Once an atheist, he now upholds religion as the nation’s backbone," Hungary expert Charles Gati observed in an op-ed last year. Hungary used to belong the Soviet bloc before the fall of the Berlin Wall: Its communist regime tried to restrict all religious tendencies and to create an atheistic society. So, like many of his countrymen, Orban was educated as an atheist.

1. Racist...fascist...bigot...the Hungarian people are voting against the hate with their compassion, the fascists

of the world need to be drowned with the milk of human kindness...and it remarkably seems to be happening on the highways of a country called Hungary.

2. This is exctly what Trump is proposing.

3. The Hungarian people put Fidesz in power

in 2010 with an explicitly racist nationalist program.

4. Times change. People can vote with their hearts in between elections, can't they? And are!

[Warren Stupidity]

7. sure they *could* there just is no evidence that they *have*

there has been no grassroots opposition to Hungary's hard line on the refugee crisis, at least not in any of the reports I've seen. And the fascist government is busy sealing its border with Serbia, preparing even more draconian measures to handle the waves of desperate people, all with the blessing of the Hungarian legislature.

5. "The American people" put Bush in power in 2000.

Your broad brush doesn't conceal the control of elections by capitalists.

[Lordquinton]

15. Ooh, snappy come back

Such wit and ingenuity.

16. All your post was worth.

Dorothy Parker's remarks on subways are never quoted.

yet considers them self to be the smartest guy in the room.




But what do you expect from such a dolt?

I'm sure one will be along shortly to tell us both how wrong we are with some un-funny, low-wit retort. It really is quite sad.

12. See #10.

[cleanhippie]

13. Called it!

Some compulsions are so obvious.

[rug]

14. Yours are on full display.

17. Aaaand I have a stalker!

Bonus points, yes!!!

18. Odd that you're creeping around making indirect remarks about me to others.

Now, I wouldn't call that stalking, I'd call it fucked up.

[Lordquinton]

19. That seems to be going around

o.o

[cleanhippie]

20. I wonder if restraining orders should be on the menu?

When a dolt stalks you, it's funny for a while, then it just becomes downright pathetic and sad.

21. Fortunately here it amounts to little more than an extra scroll

Just more noise. You can attempt to tune it to get a good signal, but it never happens. Sometimes you tune it too much and it disappears for months at a time!

[cleanhippie]

22. Or it's forced into exile while it contemplates it's transgressions.

Which seems to only enrage the dolts even more!

It's a vicious cycle. They should definitely seek professional help!

[rug]

23. I think you're both mistaking stalking with getting your asses handed to you.

Virtually of course.
