You’ve probably seen or heard it somewhere in the news recently that the Greek government has sent a huge cruise ship to house refugees arriving by the thousands on the island of Kos.
Seems the Greeks are going to help the Syrians first, so all of the other Middle Eastern young men are fighting each other.
Fighting broke out between a group of Asian migrants on the Greek island of Kos today.
Riot police did nothing as 50 asylum seekers from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran threw rocks and exchanged blows near a passenger ship where hundreds of migrants were being registered.
Hundreds of Asian migrants were stood near the police station when the brawl broke out, possibly because they have little chance of being processed on the Eleftherios Venizelos.
The Greek authorities are giving priority to Syrians. They are treated as refugees because they are fleeing their country’s bitter civil war and therefore have greater rights under international law than economic migrants.
Over 250,000 ‘asylum seekers’ have arrived in Europe this year.

Pope Francis has been chastising Europe for years now for not welcoming the hordes of migrants arriving on European shores and across its eastern borders. There is nothing new here. Apparently he must have gone to Lampedusa again. I wonder how many migrants have been ‘welcomed’ to live at Vatican City? Does anyone know? Has anyone asked?
Speaking to a youth group, he said the situation where desperate migrants were bounced from country to country seeking shelter was “an unresolved conflict… and this is war, this is violence, it’s called murder”.
In his speech on the island of Lampedusa in southern Italy the Pope called on European powers to do more to help the migrants that have been arriving on the island, according to the Gazzetta del Sud.Pope Francis has called the rejection of migrants fleeing violence “an act of war”.

No surprise, the Independent goes on to criticize David Cameron quoting the Mayor of Calais calling Cameron a racist and then says this (below). Frankly, at the moment the UK is holding firm and trying to save itself from the invasion that is washing across southern Europe and into Germany and most of the rest of Europe.
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond caused further controversy on Sunday when he told the BBC he believed “marauding” migrants threatened the British “standard of living”. Amnesty International condemned the remarks saying they were “mean spirited” and “shameful”.

Invasion of Europe News….. VDARE has pointed us to this Powerline post by Steven Hayward today entitled ‘Camp of the Saints, Revisited.’ I recommend this now over 40-year-old eerily prescient novel to all of you for your summertime reading ‘pleasure.’ Warning! It is not for the squeamish or faint of heart!
Hayward says what we have been saying and why we post as often as possible on the ‘Invasion of Europe’—the American media is not paying attention to the growing migration crisis in Europe.
From Powerline:
If you want to see the immigration crisis getting completely out of control, check out northern France, where several thousand “migrants”—as the press describes them—are trying to charge through the Channel Tunnel to Britain, where, they suppose, the welfare state will take care of them. It hasn’t been receiving much media coverage in the U.S., except for the Wall Street Journal, which notes today that the disruption at the Channel is bad for business.
As the Wall Street Journal quoted one aspiring client a few days ago:
“Here, no one looks after me,” the teenager said. “In the U.K., I can be a big man.”
No one looks after me. The Telos of the welfare state, in five words. More revealing is this passage:
“Stopping them is becoming very difficult since they’re just not afraid of the police anymore,” a French police officer said.
It looks more and more like Jean Raspail’s controversial 1973 novel, The Camp of the Saints, come to life.
It boggles my mind that all of this horrendous news coming out of Europe rarely makes it to the US media. Only when one of the illegal migrant ships sink do we hear about it. Why is that? Is the media in America afraid to show what uncontrolled immigration is doing to Europe? For God’s sake the European continent is being invaded! Americans need to know!
Here is the latest on Greek islands being overrun by mostly Middle Easterners.
From the International Business Times (emphasis mine):
The camp on the Greek island of Lesvos had been built with room for perhaps 600 people, but more than 3,000 were crammed into the facility on a recent day. Refugees had arrived from Syria, Afghanistan and other nations so rife with violence and poverty that Greece seemed a place of tranquility.
They had trekked 40 miles from the northern port where ships land to the city of Mytilene, after enduring dangerous sea crossings that often end in death or coast guard rescue. Some were now sleeping in an old army camp that had been turned into a makeshift shelter. Some lay on sidewalks outside. The camp lacked sufficient food and clean water due to the sheer numbers of people arriving. Aid workers with the United Nations worked the cobblestone streets, picking up litter in an effort to keep the situation tolerable. They worried that if anyone fell ill, disease would spread like wildfire.
“Unless there is a change very rapidly in capital control, we are afraid we will see an increase in the deterioration of the situation,” said Eugenio Imbrosi of the International Organization of Migration.
This dire situation will likely worsen as the Greek government contends with own crisis — an economic unraveling — and as regional conflagrations sends a widening volume of migrants and asylum seekers to Greek shores. Estimates for daily arrivals range from 900 to 2000 per day across the islands, according to municipal mayors and the Red Cross. Greece has overtaken Italy as the European country with the most new migrants arriving per day.
Why Greece now? Because there is no money for border security!
Europeans watching Greece’s economic catastrophe might struggle to imagine why anyone would risk his or her life to get to Greece. Yet the economic crisis gripping Greece is precisely what makes it so appealing to refugees: in the face of national budget cuts, every government agency including border control has been diminished, making landfall for refugees less risky than before.The greater the numbers of people arriving, the greater the economic burden on cash-strapped small towns that house refugees.
Middle Easterners bring their centuries-old conflicts with them!
Near the end of a long article we learn this!
Due to suffocating conditions, riots have broken out in some of the refugee camps between Syrians and Afghans. In the past six months, riots started between the two groups because of political and historic tensions. Some Syrians considered the Afghans as part of a Taliban population. The Afghans often don’t speak Arabic and were offended by a perceived superiority complex in the Syrians. “So we’re having the same war right here right now,” said Andriotis, comparing it to the situation that caused these refugees to flee their home countries.

It is only a matter of time before we see these same tensions in the US as we are resettling, in the case of the Iraqis for instance, almost an equal number of Shiite Muslims and Sunni Muslims.

That is the title of a round-up of sorts by Soeren Kern at theGatestone Instituteyesterday.
My inbox is filled every morning with stories from around Europe about the ongoing invasion by mostly Muslim migrants arriving on the Continent from North Africa and from throughout the Middle East.
I call our series on the crisis—the ‘Invasion of Europe.’ I tell people wherever I speak that Col. Gaddafi was right. Europe will be conquered and overrun with migrants and not with guns and swords.
Scratching my head this morning about how I could possibly pull the many stories into one post when I was relieved to see that the Gatestone Institute has already done the work.
Please read ithere!
Not in the round-up is the latest from Poland. Afterrefusingto admit Syrian Muslims, they are resettling a small number of Syrian Christians.
If you love Europe (Western Civilization!) and plan to visit sometime in your lifetime, go now. I’ll be going in late August.
