Giorgia Meloni says no place for Islam in Europe: 'There is a problem of
compatibility'
( MINT / 18 Dec 2023 )
Extract :
Italy's prime minister Giorgia Meloni is often
in the news for making bold statements, but she scoffed at Islamic culture and said that there is no place for it in Europe, reported Hindustan Times on 17 December.
“I believe that there is a problem of compatibility between
Islamic culture and the values and rights of our
civilization," HT quoted her saying.
The Italian premier added, "The Islamic
cultural centers in Italy are financed by Saudi Arabia where Sharia is in
force. In Europe, there is a
very Islamization process distant from the values of our civilization!"
During his speech, Rishi Sunak said that he would push for global reforms to the asylum system while warning that the threat of a growing number of refugees could 'overwhelm' parts of
Europe.

MUAMMAR
GADDAFI - A VISIONARY ? …………………. 04 Aug 2015
Extract :
And , whereas some European leaders
are taking a humanitarian view of this illegal migration , others want to stop
this " Human Flood
"
May
be those who realize that these " Waves " of persecuted and starving people are unstoppable , dare not
blame their governments for ignoring what Guardian reported on 01
Sept 2010 , as follows :
"In a highly
theatrical visit to Italy this week, Gaddafi warned that Europe would turn
"black" unless it was more rigorous in turning back immigrants. Libya is
a key transit point for illegal migration from Africa to
Europe. The Libyan leader said the bill for sealing the crossing routes would be at least € 5 bn a year.
While in Rome Gaddafi advised Europeans to convert to Islam and sought to bolster his claim for billions from Europe by warning that millions of Africans were seeking to migrate to the EU.
"We
don't know what will be the reaction of the white and Christian Europeans faced
with this influx of starving and ignorant Africans," the Libyan leader told a Rome meeting attended by Silvio Berlusconi,
the Italian prime minister. " We
don't know if Europe will remain an advanced and united continent or if it will
be destroyed, as happened with the barbarian invasions."

On
its Way : Refugee-Migrant Tsunami ………………….. 19 Sept 2016
Extract :
Refugees are fleeing wars /
persecution by military dictators / oppression by radical and fanatic Terrorist
Migrants are fleeing unemployment
in their own poor ( and corrupt ) countries, which causes poverty /
Hence , the permanent / ultimate
solutions are :
# Stopping wars everywhere / eliminating dictatorships -
military rules - terrorists
# Eliminating corruption and creation of jobs in poor
countries to reduce inequity within societies
Despite the laudable efforts by the UN , all of this is
unlikely to happen any time soon . May take many years
Or , may never happen , given
the collective human greed ( at the level of rich Societies / Nations ) !
Or , may happen very soon , if
the World-wide population of Refugee / Migrant / Displaced Persons
Considering that ,
# Economies are slowing down World-wide , causing
unemployment on unprecedented scale
# Countries unable to provide jobs to their own
citizens are unwilling to accept more
refugees / migrants
# Rich EU countries / USA /
Australia etc are facing problems of
integration of refugees within their Societies ,
It is not too late for the World at large and especially
the Rich Nations – to consider my following suggestions :

EU agrees new rules on hosting migrants, seeks to cut numbers
The European Union reached agreement early on Wednesday on new rules designed to share out the cost and work of hosting migrants more evenly and to limit the numbers of people coming in.
Representatives of the European Parliament and of EU governments reached an accord after all-night talks on EU laws collectively called the New Pact on Migration and Asylum that should start taking effect next year.
The laws cover screening irregular migrants when they arrive in the European Union, procedures for handling asylum applications, rules on determining which EU country is responsible for handling applications and ways to handle crises.
Migrant arrivals in the European Union are way down from the 2015 peak of more than 1 million, but have steadily crept up from a 2020 low to 255,000 in the year to November, with more than half crossing the Mediterranean from Africa, mainly to Italy.
Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi called the pact a "great success" for Europe and Italy and meant that EU border countries most exposed to migration would no longer feel alone.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said agreement on the past was very important, relieving states affected - including Germany.
Previous efforts to share out the responsibility of hosting migrants have foundered because eastern EU members in particular were unwilling to take in people who had arrived in Greece, Italy and other countries.
