I saw the news item on Al Jazeera today about the clashes on the Greek border.

They were all fit young men that seemed well fed and unharmed.

Also mentioned that the Greek navy has over 50 vessels out turning back the boats and the new policy is to take new illegal immigrants to Athens and then deport them back without a hearing.

The tide is beginning to turn, thanks to Erdogan.

if the E.U gives in to Erdogan's blackmail, then Morocco (an other emigration and transit country) will feel entitled to follow the move, and European countries that have'nt done it yet, will switch to the far-right..

Its mainly other muslims that always defends them ,why do you?

To repeat only providing facts. I lived among a Muslim community in Thailand for a number of years & never had any negative issues. My mother was a racist / bigot which I hated. My so called upbringing now manifests in my loathing of those who constantly post right of centre rhetoric; that is what I push back against. If members were to post factual content relating to Islamists - so far as I'm concerned - no problem. 

Clearly in politics there is a left and right tendency.
But who are you to sit as judge and jury that a political tendency, which isn't yours, is the wrong one?

Last post goes back to March - must be getting desperate to make a point supporting your beloved right of centre who BTW are a small minority in Western democracies, they are the real losers.
