The Dark Side of the Refugee Problem



       The refugee crisis in Europe is another great tragedy of this decade. We see pictures of bodies in the water, hordes of  people pushing through police barriers demanding to be cared for by strangers and housed in European countries. The civil war in Syria has been a disaster for Syrian people and seems to have no end now that ISIS has taken over much of the country and the Russians are supporting Assad in his murderous activities. The Americans are largely responsible of the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan and Canada helped to drive Libya into anarchy. What a mess.

      It is interesting to note that the Muslim Gulf States (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE) are not taking any part in relieving the refugee crisis. Why not, they are rich countries, have the same religion and lots of land. Jordan has done all it can for them and Turkey is taking many but seems to be shunting them through to Greece and Europe.
   
     The last time there was a mass invasion of Muslims into Europe was in 1683 when the Ottoman Turks sent a vast army to conquer Europe. They were stopped at Vienna when the combined armies of Austria, Poland, Germany and other European countries fought and defeated them. Otherwise Europe would be part of Islam today and western civilization would have withered under the dictate of the Ottoman Mufti and Sharia. Islam was once a highly cultured and advanced society but that culture stultified and has not advanced for nearly a century.

      I have a dark question. What is happening to drive so many people from Muslim countries into Europe now? They are coming in numbers greater than those in the army of the Grand Vizier Mustafa Pasha who commanded the Turkish Armies in 1683. This time women and children are the invaders and cannot be stopped by force. Most great events in this world are not accidents, there is always cause and effect. Why, suddenly in the summer of 2015, are Muslim hordes descending on Europe? Is there a master plan? Without prejudice, just think about it.
