600 more Muslim migrants arrive in Crete; anger grows


The Invasion of Europe continues….

Remember earlier in the week we reported that Syrians in Athens were hunger-striking for the “right” to move on to a wealthier, more generous European country, now Greece has hundreds more Syrians to deal with.
But, the story isn’t half as interesting as the comments which  are dominated by people really really angry at Muslim “refugees.”
IERAPETRA, Greece (AP) — Nearly 600 migrants, mostly refugees from Syria, have been temporarily put up in a basketball arena in the southern Cretan town of Ierapetra, where they arrived in a crippled smuggling ship after more than a week at sea.
Red Cross volunteers on Friday issued warm meals and clothing to the 80 children, 150 women and 361 men who were on the 77-meter (250-foot) Baris freighter, which was towed to Ierapetra Thursday, two days after losing engine power off Crete.
About two-thirds of the migrants are Syrians, who qualify for refugee status, while the others include Kurds, Afghans and Palestinians, officials said.
“These are lower to middle class people who were seeking a better life, due to the war in their country,” said Argyris Pantazis, Ierapetra’s deputy mayor for civil protection.
He said the Syrian refugees will probably leave the arena within the next two days. The other migrants, who do not immediately qualify for refugee status, will be given the option to return to their country voluntarily or be interned in camps pending deportation.
If they are so poor, where are they getting this kind of money?  Someone, or some entity is paying for this!  Saudi Arabia? Turkey? George Soros, or someone of his ilk?  International Communists? Organization of Islamic Cooperation? Why does no reporter ever find out where is the money coming from?
The migrants left Turkey last week, and had paid smugglers between $2,000 and $6,000 to be taken to Italy.
