Hundreds of years ago, if a ship full of people were caught at sea they would be slaughtered or sold as slaves.

I will say this makes America's immigration problem seem rather tame in comparison. We may not be deporting (enough) illegal entrants but we aren't rolling out the red carpet either and actively encouraging people to risk their lives to come here.

Hundreds of years ago, if people belonged to the wrong denomination or were believed to be witches, they would be burned at the stake.

The European refugee crisis is beginning to show the fault lines in the EU.

"Denmark has suspended all rail links with Germany after police stopped hundreds of migrants at the border.
Danish police also closed a motorway between the two countries when some asylum seekers began walking north after being forced off a train."

For those who are interested in what its like for new arrivals in European countries, POV featured a wonderful little film on a group of young immigrants who arrived in Switzerland -

Watch Video | Neuland: Feature Films | POV | PBS

I watched it a month or so ago when it was on PBS, but re-watched it tonight because I liked it so much.

Refugee? Or covert ops?
Is it a coincidence that the target nation, Germany, is the richest Christian nation?
. . .
Why not target the richest Muslim nations that are closer and speak the same language?
. . .
Naw, we're not supposed to ask such things.
Nothing to see here, move along.
