I think those that make a well intentioned fuss about helping asylum seekers often ignore the reality that the real victims remain and suffer.
That's an inconvenient truth.

Well it wasn't going to be too long before this happened:

Italian police say they have arrested 15 Muslim migrants after they allegedly threw 12 Christians overboard following a row on a boat headed to Italy.

The Christian migrants, said to be from Ghana and Nigeria, are all feared dead.
Are we going to give asylum to people like this?
How many of these refugees harbour such extreme hatred whether Muslim, Christian or anything else?
Where they do it's going to be the same where these people are dispersed to isn't it? Longstanding hatred and rivalries imported into Europe from around the globe in the name of asylum. Somebody needs to get a grip on what's happening.

Where migrants have the financial means to leave their countries because they want a better way of life in Europe, should we have an obligation to offer them asylum?
