Bulgarian Church: Moslems not Welcome

Bulgarian Church: Moslems not Welcome

The Bulgarian church stated explicitely that Moslems were not welcome in Bulgaria. This allegedly to prevent an “invasion”. Well, Turks and Rroma from Bulgaria are also Moslems, and make around 13% of the population. Are they too unqwelcome? Let’s not forget that in the 80’s, Bulgaria expelled roughly 400’000 Turkish Moslems to Turkey (they went to settle in Cyprus – well done Bugaria). That is almost 5% of the Bulgarian population of that time.

Is this Christian?

Rroma Refugees in Hamburg

Rroma Refugees in Hamburg

Rroma who are under threat of deportation to their former “home” country due to the “safe country” regulation are currently occupying a church in Hamburg. This is their last hope. And a shame for Germany, especially in the case of Rroma from Bosnia and from Kosovo, two countries that were ethnically cleansed with Europe watching and doing nothing.

A Dog …

A Dog …

A militant activist beat up a homeless man to steal his puppy, claiming it was drugged. Well, maybe, but how did he know beforehand? And the proof is still outstanding. Cherry on the cake, the militant claims that Rroma drug their animals, and even some of them eat cats.

This is not limited to Rroma, and it seems that while cat eaters are found among all populations, idiots, bigots, and racists are too.

SHAME…

Romania is circulating a story about Rroma heping refugees by “confusing” the police in dressing them as Rroma. This is NOT JOURNALISM… Pure detox.

Fashion and Rroma

Fashion and Rroma

The designer Mary Katrantzou in her latest show is inspired by Kusturica’s movie “The Time of the Gypsies”. Fine, but saying that it is a “film that demonstrates the traditional Romani culture” is WRONG AND FALSE.

It is a movie that depicts poor Rroma engaged in criminal activities. It is a film about being poor and outcast, not about cultural traits.

Art Project in Slovakia

Ban on Balkan Refugees?

Ban on Balkan Refugees?

Macedonia is saying the EU is planning a ban on Balkan refugees. This is already the case with the so-called “safe countries” but could be extended to Kosovo, Macedonia, and Montenegro. This would bar Rroma who are discriminated in those countries from seeking asylum and would also deprive the community of a mean to improve their fate in those countries. This only happens if refugees are on the EU’s door.

Argument against Compassion: A Must Read for Counterarguments

Argument against Compassion: A Must Read for Counterarguments

Read this… Badly thought arguments, and the way against them on the refugee crisis. The paragraph on Rroma is particularly scary: The argument goes as follows: Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria have not managed to integrated their Rroma, so they cannot take on any refugees.

The right way to say it: Nationalistic policies have tried to ethnicise and segregate minorities, and these have failed. Has nothing to do with refugees, and all to do with tolerance.
