With desperation and anger deepening among migrants escaping conflict and poverty, hundreds broke out of a Hungarian camp and others set off on foot from Budapest, hoping to find sanctuary in northern Europe.
More than 300,000 people have crossed to Europe by sea so far this year and more than 2,600 have died doing so. Many of those making the voyage are refugees from the civil war in Syria, now in its fifth year.
Hungary's parliament passed a series of laws on Friday to control the flow of migrants into the country, giving police more authority and setting out strict punishments including prison terms for illegal border crossing.
The arrival of so many migrants has polarised Europe, causing outpourings of sympathy but also fuelling the rise of populist political parties who say the continent has no room for more people and could see its cultures diluted.
"The reality is that Europe is threatened by a mass inflow of people. Many tens of millions of people could come to Europe," Orban said before Hungary's new laws were passed.
"Now we talk about hundreds of thousands but next year we will talk about millions and there is no end to this." "All of a sudden we will see that we are in a minority in our own continent," Orban told public radio.AND THEN THERE'S THIS:
Perhaps people will bein to connect the dots behind the Hillary Clinton goal to remove gatekeeper Muammar Gaddafi
Maybe people will begin to understand the Rivkin Project
Maybe, just maybe, people will awaken to why the EU was willing to pay Gaddafi €5 Billion to keep the North African migration under control.
Maybe, people will understand why multi-culturalism was declared a failure – by the same people now being hammered by the migration they formerly denounced. Nah, probably not….
But you’ll find me short on sympathy for an EU collective who refused to help stop ISIS, the various regional Mid-East wars, the spread of Radical Islam or the wholesale societal collapse which accompanies doing nothing.
However, for those who want to fully understand how this entire fiasco began, a pretty good basic summary is available here. The problem is not recent !As we witness the flood of migrant “children” (many clearly past adolescence with abundant facial hair) fronted as “dreamers” streaming across our southern border ...consider this lesson in history:
At the Battle of the Yarmuk (river), between the Muslim Arabs and the Byzantines, the Muslim Arabs were losing the battle in the initial stages. When the victory seemed certain for the Byzantines, the Muslims took recourse to subterfuge, when they realized that victory could not come to them through straight warfare, they used a contingent of women to attack the Byzantine troops who charged at the Byzantine army shrieking and hollering. .. Not used to facing ladies as an adversary, the Byzantines were at a loss to respond and the confused Byzantine generals ordered their troops not to molest the women and to withdraw.
When the Arab Muslims saw that this tactic using women as a deceptive front was working, they sent in the main contingent of Arab men dressed as women in hijabs (the black tent like gown worn by Muslim women) to charge at the Byzantines, and in the process one of the Arab generals Khalid-ibn-Walid disguised as a woman in a hijab, embraced the Byzantine General Harbees and crushed his ribs, thus killing him. With their general dead, the Byzantine army became leaderless, and the fortunes of the battle started going in favor of the Muslim Arabs. This is how the tricky and insidious Muslims won the battle of Yarmuk.
