Stampede Near Mecca During Hajj Leaves at Least 453 Dead
The deaths occurred around 9 a.m. on the first day of Eid al-Adha, one of the holiest holidays in the Muslim calendar, and as millions of Muslims were making their pilgrimage, or hajj, to Mecca.

Saudi authorities reported the deaths on Twitter and said that two medical centers had been opened in Mina to treat the injured.

Réfugiés : la Hongrie rejette "l'impérialisme moral" de Merkel
Le Premier ministre hongrois Viktor Orban a rejeté mercredi "l'impérialisme moral" que tente selon lui d'imposer la chancelière allemande Angela Merkel au reste de l'Europe concernant l'accueil des réfugiés, et proposé un plan en six points pour régler la crise. "Le plus important est qu'il n'y ait pas d'impérialisme moral" sur la question de l'afflux des migrants, a-t-il déclaré à la presse à Bad Staffelstein (Sud), en réponse à une question sur ce qu'il attendait aujourd'hui d'Angela Merkel.

Refugee Crisis: EU Divided as Hungary Attacks Migrant Quota as 'Unrealisable and Nonsense'
The EU migrant quota plan to relocate thousands of migrants across the continent is “unfeasible, unrealisable and nonsense”, Hungary's foreign minister said, as Europe's east-west division was laid bare on Wednesday.
As EU leaders meet in Brussels on Wednesday to approve a plan to relocate 120,000 attacked by eastern European countries, Péter Szijjártó called the quota scheme a waste of time.
Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary voted against the plan to take in refugees and migrants from Italy and Greece but it was forced through on Tuesday.
Under the European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker's plan, Hungary would receive 1,294 of the 120,000 to be shared by the EU countries. But instead, the Hungarian government supports a pan-EU Greek border protection initiative which would deploy helicopters and infrared cameras to catch migrants, with Frontex and Greece setting numbers on troops and border guards.
Budapest suggested that the EU should then fund refugee camps for Syrians and finance new camps if required.
Mr Szijjártó described the plan as a waste of time and said: "The plan is unfeasible, unrealisable and nonsense."
He added: “This is the beginning of a new world order; we are not talking about a refugee crisis, but about a wave of mass migration."

The Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban accused German chancellor Angela Merkel of "moral imperialism" and of trying to impose her vision of an open EU on the rest of the bloc. (+ video) » | Dan Nolan at the Hungarian-Croatian border | Wednesday, September 23, 2015

Iran Holds Military Parade as 'Biggest Regional Power' Fighting Terrorism
American Muslims Fear a New Wave of Islamophobia
At the Islamic Institute of Orange County, which houses a mosque and a school in Anaheim, in southern California, tensions were already mounting since a group of white men screamed at mothers and children arriving at the center on this year’s anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, calling them cowards who did not belong in America.
Many of the country’s 2.8 million Muslims say such tensions could become uglier during a presidential race that they fear is already tapping a vein of anger and bigotry.
“It’s pretty troubling that someone running for president would make those claims,” Zuhair Shaath, Palestinian-American, said of Carson, a retired neurosurgeon who on Sunday said Muslims were unfit for the presidency of the United States.
Carson's campaign defended his comments on Monday, saying he was not suggesting a Muslim should be barred from running for president. But his campaign said he would not advocate for that person becoming a leader and would not support it.
Later on Monday, Carson said he "absolutely" stood by his comments but would be open to a moderate Muslim candidate who denounced radical Islamists.
The remarks by Carson, who is near the top of opinion polls for the crowded field of Republican candidates for the 2016 election, followed billionaire Trump’s failure to challenge comments made on Friday by a supporter who labeled U.S. President Barack Obama a Muslim. » | Tim Reid | Anaheim, Calif. | Monday, September 21, 2015
BS! ‘EU Measures Fail to Provide Long-term Solution to Refugee Crisis’
Immigration Crisis: Budapest Sends Clear Messages Both to East and West
“All European politicians are irresponsible if they encourage migrants to leave all they have behind and risk their lives to get to Europe in the hope of better conditions,” the resoultion said. The countries of central Europe, which have just recovered from an economic crisis, “cannot afford to suffer the damage wrought by Brussels’ ill-advised policies”, according to the document. Hungary cannot allow illegal migrants to jeopardise employment and Hungarians’ social security, it added. “We have the right to protect our culture, language and values,” it said, adding that the government is committed to further developing the economy “without the unbearable burden of illegal migrants arriving in Hungary”. » | via hungarymatters.hu and MTI | Tuesday, September 22, 2015
