It was of course inevitable that the great nation of Slovakia would one day perform a feat of political daring bold enough to inspire Europe as a whole. The only wonder is how long we have had to wait for it. Now it is here, let us savour it and seek to deepen its impact.
As you’ll be aware, the Slovakian government announced last week that its country will only be accepting Christian refugees fleeing the Syrian civil war, and not Muslims. You’ll also be aware that this then led to kind of acrobatic stupidity only Western governments appear to be capable of.
“The attitude underlying this is to be condemned.” One EU drone remarked “It is unhelpful and does not display solidarity.”
In saying this, the drone was compacting the general response of the EU establishment. By staggering coincidence, it is also the view of the European business elites, globalist charities, humanitarian lobby groups, and (of course) the establishment media.
But outside this bubble of cheerful unaccountability, most reactions to the Slovakian stance have been extremely positive. Wherever the story has ben reported in the English press, the reader comments underneath each individual article salute and commend the Slovakian government for its bravery, timeliness and fidelity to the wishes of the Slovakian electorate. Often tacked on to the end of these commendations are hopes and wishes (against all odds) that other European states will follow suit, including – perchance – the regimes of Western Europe. Needless to say, such fantasies are just that – fantasies.
In the face of EU criticism, Slovakia has justified its policy in the following way: Slovakia is a Christian country. There are no Mosques or Madrassas in Slovakia, nor are there Muslim schools or traditions compatible with the Muslim experience. Muslims therefore wouldn’t like it in Slovakia. They are being denied access to Slovakia as much for their own good as for the good of the native population.
I know what you’re thinking. If only our government had reasoned the same fifty years ago. How much trouble, bloodshed, innocence and economic disruption would have been spared?! As the Slovaks have shown, all it would have taken was a bit of (inoffensive) common sense.
It is of course far too late for our own countries to use this elementary good judgement, or at least to endorse it in the shrugging, devious and friendly manner in which the Slovaks have. We are five decades too late, and while other countries can get away with being sensible, it is no longer a luxury we can afford.
Given this reality, out of the hundreds of thousands of Syrian and Eritrean Muslims currently trekking across the green fields of Europe, I suspect a great proportion will eventually live in English neighbourhoods, their progeny eventually attending English schools, voting in English elections, and (some of them) going on to violently avenge English foreign policy.
All the while, Slovakia will carry on – grinning, living, persisting – as if nothing had ever happened. There has surely never been a greater, more saddening illustration of the failure of the European idea.
D, LDN.
Defend the Modern World 
It is fair enough for a sovereign country to decide as such. We know there a lot countries (all members of the UN) that do not allow open worship of religions other than Islam. Rich countries too, read Saudi Arabia.

I agree – we’ll just have to see if Slovakia gets away with it. There’s a lot of pressure on the government to change their policy. I hope they can resist it.

The six Gulf countries – Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain – have offered ZERO resettlement places to Syrian refugees.
Whenever there is a Gaza conflict all the Muslim fundamentalists in Europe cry hoarse that all Muslims are one ‘Umma’ and one body and a pain to one organ (Palestinians) causes pain to the whole body. Where is that ‘solidarity’ now? Is this not the right time to express in deeds and not in words this solidarity?
Why do the filthy rich Gulf States refuse to admit a single Muslim Arab refugee? Why is this automatically Europe’s problem?
More importantly, why NO ONE in the mass media and United Nations and in other mainstream fora raise this issue?
Why are the Gulf States ALWAYS given a free pass?

It’s because the Gulf states are fundamentally evil and obsessed with money. The Saudi royals in particular are devoid of moral feeling. They don’t care about Muslim causes (really). That’s partly why I’m at ease with them. They care about money far more than they care about Islam.

The refugees should go to Turkey, Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon. If not welcome there, they can go to Algeria, Tunisia, the Shia part of Iraq, Assad controlled Syria etc…. Europe is not the obvious option.

Although I agree we should be suggesting the Gulf states as a destination. It’s not as if the whole Arab world is war-torn. Saudi is very underpopulated too.

I suspect probably a majority of people in the UK would agree with what the leaders of Slovakia and Hungary are saying about this were their voices not being suppressed by our own politicians and media.
If there are still any people out there who don’t believe free speech is under threat right now in the UK from their own government, then please read about Pastor James McConnell’s case. He has been prosecuted under the 2003 Communications Act for preaching that Islam is a satanic religion. He has said he is ready to go to prison to protect free speech.

My advice? *Every* person, everywhere, in any Western country – and not only western countries, there are currently majority-non-Muslim African countries facing Muslim ‘migrations’ (Kenya has huge problems with the Somali Muslims who poured across her borders and were given hospitality and are now causing no end of trouble) – who agrees with Slovakia’s stance *must* write, straightaway, to the Slovakian embassy or consulate in their country, to **express wholehearted support**. And don’t be shy of explaining WHY. And at the same time, write to their own governments, quote the Slovak government, and state bluntly that you wish *your* government (French, British, Australian, whatever) had had the sense to keep the Muslims out…and also state that, on the principle of “when in hole, stop digging”, you want NO MORE MUSLIMS admitted into your country.
Get behind – get beside – Slovakia and PUSH.
There’s Hungary, too: the sensible statements recently made by the Hungarian PM, re Muslims, and the current wave of – overwhelmingly-Muslim – persons pouring into Europe.
Same thing: 1/ EVERY person who agrees the Hungarian PM has said nothing but the truth, in his op ed and in his interview, MUST write post-haste to the Hungarian embassy – in Australia, in the UK, in Canada, wherever – and quote what the PM said, and say, ‘Good on you, mate! Well said! ” Say – “way to go, Hungary! We support you! We agree! We wish *our* president/ PM/ etc, would say the same…and then act accordingly!” And then 2/ write to their respective heads of state and immigration and defence/ foreign affairs ministers, and quote what the Hungarian PM said, and say – “He’s right. I agree. And this is why *we* must stop all further entry of Muslims into *our* country, and rigorously enforce the law upon those already in our midst, and find ways of discouraging them from remaining, because…Got Muslims? Got Jihad”.
imagine if the Slovak and Hungarian embassies or consulates, all over the West, and even beyond the West, in places like India, the Philippines,Thailand, and parts of Africa, are *inundated* with letters and postcards from citizens of all those countries, expressing support for their stance re Muslim ‘immigration-invasion’!
Imagine if the Slovak or Hungarian reps, in the EU HQ in Brussels, when hauled onto the carpet, were able to say, “well, our Embassies just got X million letters of support…would you like to know just exactly how many French, Dutch, British, Swedish, Danish, German citizens wrote to us to tell us they wished their governments would do as ours is doing?” And then bring in a long line of wheelbarrows piled high with all those letters, and the printouts of the emails…

Perhaps a global petition of support could be filed in support of Slovakia. While it might not change anything by itself, it might help other states to adopt a similar policy.

Petitions are okay for publicising a cause. But every person who signs should be encouraged to also write their own individual, personal letter or postcard, in their own words. Such things carry *weight*. If sent by snail mail, they are harder to ignore and get rid of, than emails. Somebody has to physically handle them in order to read them.
