Seventy-five percent of Christian refugees in a recent study were harassed.
Because of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s open-door policy towards mass immigration from Muslim lands, there are now an estimated one million refugees admitted to Germany recently. This mass immigration has caused a massive problem as many of these Muslim immigrant families refuse to integrate into German culture. Instead, they want to impose their own sharia-infused culture on the German populace.
It is not just German nationals who are feeling the ire of many Muslim immigrants who do not want to appropriate to Western culture;, it is Christian refugees as well. Open Doors USA, an organization that studies Christian persecution the world over, has found that Christians are frequently persecuted by their Muslim peers in German refugee camps. In a study entitled “Religiously Motivated Attacks on Christian Rrefugees in Germany,” they found that 75% of Christian refugees stated that they had been harassed repeatedly. Out of 231 interviewees, the study found that 86 had suffered bodily harm, and 72 had been subject to death threats aimed at them or their families.
OpenDoors reports that only five of the 231 interviewees admitted that they had reported incidents to authorities. Interestingly, 69% of the surveyed refugees are from Iran, and 86% of all surveyed refugees had converted to Christianity in their home countries. This explains why they experienced harassment to the large extent that they did. As Bernard Lewis, the doyen of Islamic Studies, explains, in the religion of Islam:
the [apostate] is one who has known the true faith, however briefly, and abandoned it. For this offense there is no human forgiveness, and according to the overwhelming majority of the jurists, the renegade must be put to death—that is, if male. For females a lesser penalty of flogging and imprisonment may suffice. [Emphasis added.]
In the five main schools of Islam (the Sunni Hanbali, Hanafi, Shafi’i, and Maliki schools, and the Twelver Shi’i Ja’fari school) the punishment for those who leave Islam is death. This is based on a hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari where Muhammad states that whoever leaves his religion is to be killed. This is not some sort of fringe and extremist view of Islam. This is mainstream Islam, following the direct word of their founder.
How long will it take for the liberals in the West to come to understand that their European culture—culture that is ultimately founded on Judeo-Christian values, is superior to Islamic Sharia-law culture? European countries have already taken more than enough refugees. It is time to seal up the borders and to let the Gulf countries take their share of refugees. Until now, the Gulf countries, like Saudi Arabia, have been reluctant to grant asylum to their co-religionists for fear that they will destabilize their regimes (Saudi Arabia alone is capable of providing refugee to a huge number of refugees in thousands of outdoor plumbing equipped tents that it has ready for Hajj pilgrims). One wonders why the Middle Eastern Gulf countries fear a massive influx of refugees, whereas some European countries do not. Perhaps it is due to naiveté on the part of some European governments.
