'You've Simply Got It Wrong' Farage Blasts EU's Juncker as He Dishes Out Refugee QUOTAS

Nigel Farage has blasted Jean-Claude Juncker for his
'compulsory' refugee quotas

EXPRESS: NIGEL Farage has blasted the European Union for allowing migrants to "flow" into Europe in "biblical proportions" as Jean-Claude Juncker sets out COMPULSORY refugee quotas to share 160,000 asylum seekers.

European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker has called for solidarity from the EU's 28 member states in responding to Europe's worst migration crisis since the Second World War.

Criticising Europe's failure to come up with a united response to the hundreds of thousands of refugees arriving on its shores, Mr Juncker said quotas will now be "compulsory".

He took a swipe at David Cameron's refusal to voluntarily sign up to the quota, saying he hoped this time "everybody will be on board".

As he dishes out quotas for each country in the Schengen open borders arrangement, Ukip leader Nigel Farage said: "Mr Juncker you've simply got this wrong."

He said his stark warning in April, that the terms of the European Common Asylum Policy were set so wife [sic] that "anyone who sets a foot on EU soil can stay".

He added: "I said it would lead to a flow of biblical proportions and indeed that is what we are beginning to see and that's been compounded by Germany last week saying that basically anyone can come. » | Selina Sykes | Wednesday, September 9, 2015

Refugee Crisis: Juncker Calls for EU to Take 'Bold, Concerted Action'

THE GUARDIAN: European commission president uses first state of the union address to urge member states to accept plan to relocate 160,000 refugees

Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European commission, has called for “bold, concerted action” to deal with Europe’s most serious refugee crisis since the second world war.

In his first annual state of the union address before the European parliament in Strasbourg, Juncker urged member states to accept the commission’s plan to relocate 160,000 refugees fleeing war and terror.

Juncker acknowledged that the numbers of people arriving in Europe was “frightening” for some, but declared: “Now is not the time for fright, this is time for bold, concerted action. It is a matter of humanity and dignity, for Europe it is a matter for historical fairness.”

Recalling past waves of migration, Juncker reminded his audience that Europe was the world’s wealthiest and most stable continent.

“We have the means to help those fleeing war and terror. There is certainly an unprecedented number of refugees, but it is just 0.11% of Europe’s population. Refugees represent 25% of Lebanon’s population,” said Juncker. » | Mark Tran | Wednesday, September 9, 2015

Queen Becomes Longest-reigning Monarch - 'A Record She Would Rather Not Have Had'

THE TELEGRAPH: David Cameron will lead the world's tributes to a monarch who has served the Commonwealth through the Cold War, the Space Age and the Internet Age

In her 21st birthday broadcast to the Commonwealth, Princess Elizabeth memorably promised that “my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service”.

She could not have expected as she said those words that the burden of monarchy would fall on her shoulders so soon afterwards, but more than 63 years after she ascended the throne, the Queen has never wavered from that pledge.

On a day of history, of celebration and gratitude as she becomes our longest-reigning monarch, David Cameron will express the thanks of a nation for her "remarkable record" of duty.

In turn, Her Majesty is expected to make a brief reference to her achievement in surpassing her great-great grandmother Queen Victoria when she opens a new railway in the Scottish Borders. Read on and comment » | Gordon Rayner, Chief Reporter | Tuesday, Sepptember 8, 2015

'Terrorist Don't Move by Timetable, Our Borders Completely Open' - Former German Deputy Defense Minister

The unending influx of migrants has reinvigorated fears that Islamic State fighters could be hiding among the crowds storming Europe's borders. Some reports suggest that thousands of extremists have already been smuggled in. Germany's Federal Intelligence Service chief Gerhard Schindler said that terrorists would rather travel by plane on forged documents than use overcrowded migrant routes. But a former German Deputy Defence Minister Willy Wimmer doesn't quite buy that.

Selon Marine Le Pen, la majorité des migrants qui arrivent de Syrie «ne sont pas des réfugiés politiques»

La présidente du Front national refuse de dire que les migrants, et plus particulièrement les Syriens fuyant le régime de Bachar el-Assad, sont persécutés. Invitée ce lundi sur iTélé, Marine Le Pen assure que «la majorité de ces gens qui arrivent ne sont pas des réfugiés politiques».

«Si l'on s'en tient aux critères de l'asile, il faut être persécuté par le gouvernement en place. Ceux qui sont actuellement combattus par le gouvernement en place, ce sont les fondamentalistes islamistes. Alors vous voyez qu'avec ce genre de critères, on se prépare peut-être à des lendemains qui déchantent.»

Pope Francis Makes It Easier for Catholics to Divorce

THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: Vatican City: Pope Francis, making the most substantial changes to Catholic marriage annulment procedures in centuries, on Tuesday radically simplified them and said bishops should give greater help to divorced couples.

In a move that again showed his desire for the Church to be more merciful to Catholics in difficulty, Francis reaffirmed traditional teaching on the "indissolubility of marriage", but streamlined annulment procedures many considered cumbersome, lengthy, outdated and expensive.

An annulment, formally known as a "decree of nullity", is a ruling that a marriage was not valid according to Church law because certain prerequisites, such as free will, psychological maturity and openness to having children, were lacking. » | Reuters | Tuesday, September 8, 2015

Saudischer König will für Flüchtlinge in Deutschland 200 Moscheen bauen

TAGES ANZEIGER: Saudiarabien lässt die Flüchtlinge nicht in ihr Land. Nun will sich aber einer der Machthaber engagieren und in Deutschland 200 Moscheen errichten. » | hae/mlr/pat/sda/afp | Dienstag, 8. September 2015

Flüchtlingskrise: Die arabische Halbinsel schottet sich ab

FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE: Die Golfstaaten und Saudi-Arabien stellen sich taub gegenüber ihren muslimischen Glaubensbrüdern aus den Bürgerkriegsstaaten. Riad möchte lieber für die syrischen Flüchtlinge in Deutschland 200 Moscheen bauen.

Die arabischen Golfstaaten sind reich, sie sind muslimisch, und sie schotten sich gegenüber ihren Glaubensbrüdern aus Syrien mit einer Kälte ab, die immer mehr zu einem Skandal wird. Europäische Länder nehmen aber großzügig Flüchtlinge aus den arabischen Bürgerkriegsregionen auf, viele auf dem christlichen Kontinent scheuen keine Lasten, um ihrem humanitären Anspruch gerecht zu werden. Gegenüber diesem Leiden stellen sich die arabischen Golfstaaten jedoch taub, obwohl sich der saudische König als „der Hüter der beiden Heiligen Stätten des Islams“ anreden last

Sie bauen die größten Moscheen, die höchsten Gebäude und die prächtigsten Paläste. Der Flüchtlingsstrom fließt jedoch nach Norden, nach Europa, nicht nach Süden, auf die Arabische Halbinsel. Das hat zwei Gründe. Zum einen wollen die Flüchtlinge nicht in einem unfreien Land wie Saudi-Arabien leben; nach allem, was sie erlebt haben, lechzen sie nach Freiheit und nach Sicherheit.

Zum anderen sind diese Flüchtlinge in den Staaten des Golfkooperationsrats (GCC) auch gar nicht erwünscht. Seit dem Ausbruch erst der Krise und dann des Kriegs in Syrien war es für Syrer immer schwieriger geworden, überhaupt ein Einreisevisum zu bekommen, das zudem sehr teuer ist. Die Syrer könnten ja auf Arabisch, der gemeinsamen Sprache, berichten, was in Syrien tatsächlich geschieht, und sie würden die saudische Gesellschaft in einem unerwünschten Maße politisieren. In den vergangenen Jahren wurden dann, vor allem in Saudi-Arabien und den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten, zunehmend Aufenthaltsgenehmigungen für syrische Gastarbeiter nicht mehr verlängert. » | Von Rainer Hermann | Dienstag, 9.

Norbert Lambert verurteilt Pöbeleien und gewaltsame
Übergriffe gegen Flüchtlinge. 

T ONLINE: Der Präsident des Bundestages, Norbert Lammert, hat fremdenfeindliche Tendenzen in Deutschland verurteilt und betont, dass das Land wegen der Flüchtlingskrise vor einem dauerhaften Wandel stehe. "Diese große humanitäre, politische und kulturelle Herausforderung wird Deutschland verändern", sagte er im Bundestag.

Der CDU-Poltiker zeigte sich überzeugt, dass die Aufnahme von Flüchtlingen zum Vorteil des Landes geschehe.
