Will this help or hurt the refugee situation? Should Poland have bailed on the refugee acceptance agreement? Has the response to the refugees from the public been over the top? http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/...refugees-brussels-attack-160323132500564.html Poland refuses to accept refugees after Brussels attack Prime Minister Szydlo says it's "not possible" to honour refugee deal with EU after deadly ISIL attacks in Belgium. 23 Mar 2016 14:24 GMT | Brussels Attacks, Refugees, Poland, ISIS, Europe Share via Facebook Share via Twitter Share via RedditAll SocialEngagement: 3182 Listen to this page using ReadSpeaker EmailPrintSend Feedback Poland stepped up security measures after the Brussels attacks on Tuesday [Czarek Sokolowski/AP] Poland's prime minister says his country is no longer prepared to take the 7,000 refugees it agreed to accept in negotiations with the European Union because of the deadly Brussels attacks. Beata Szydlo said on Wednesday that she does "not see any possibility for the refugees to come to Poland" after explosions rocked the Belgian capital a day earlier, according to Polish broadcaster Superstacja. Poland had planned to admit an initial 400 refugees this year, and the rest would be allowed in over the next three years. Last year, thousands of Poles took to the streets and social media to promote participation in anti-refugee marches across the country, organised by far-right nationalist movements such as the National Radical Camp. In October, President Andrzej Duda said the government should take steps to protect its citizens from refugees bringing in "possible epidemics". The comments by the president, whose role is largely ceremonial, echo those of Jaroslaw Kaczynski, leader of the populist Law and Justice party, of which Duda is a member.

Kaczynski had spoken of "cholera in the Greek islands" and "dysentery in Vienna", and he accused refugees of "bringing in all kinds of parasites, which are not dangerous in their own countries, but which could prove dangerous for the local populations" in Europe. Physical abuse of Poland's barely visible refugees has also been reported. In November, George Mamlouk, a Christian refugee from Syria's city of Raqqa, was attacked in the street of Poznan by three young men who broke his nose and a finger, as well as injuring his leg. A crowd of onlookers gathered - some watched passively; others were chanting for his attackers to "kill him", Mamlouk said. Poland has long been reluctant to take in refugees, but finally agreed to accept more than 5,000 of the 120,000 people to be shared between the 28-member European Union - in addition to an initial 2,000.
maybe there president is more conservative nationalist like trump then the rest of the other eu leaders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrzej_Duda http://www.europeanguardian.com/80-...rzej-duda-wins-poland-s-presidential-election
Good for them. At least they understand that Fundamentalist Islamic culture is for the most part incompatible with modern western culture. Jamming them together will only spell trouble in the long run.
Why is it that people don't understand that simple fact... - - - Updated - - - Do you have anything of substance to add?
Well, good for Poland! Nice to see that there's a leader of a country that can put 2 & 2 together, can connect the dots and has the common sense to realize the danger he could be putting Polish citizens in......
I wonder when the German people are going to drag Merkel from her office by her short curly hairs and punish her. Seriously.
hes ready to roll across the southern Europe into Islam territory to attack the poor isis nation now at any minute, just like hitler would in 1940s ah? i think i am stretching this just a little here
To answer both your questions, there's only one answer - that's not how the liberal brain is wired........
Who knows? The way it's going, it probably won't be long b/f we're attacked....again. Awhile back I was watching a program about this country's energy/power grids and was surprised when they said they're not as secured as they should be. Well now.....isn't that great for us and why aren't they? If that's true and it sounds like it is.....talk about inviting trouble. A blacked-out country.....what do you know about this?
Our grids are vulnerable. They prefer to cause carnage rather than infrastructure damage. Would worry more about the mall than it being dark for a little while.
Ugh! Now that you mentioned a mall, that's a real worry for me. My son & his wife/son are temporarily living in Minnesota (he has good paying job there). He won't live in Mpls b/c he hates big cities like I do, so lives 40 minutes away in small community - but goes to Mpls often enuf and they go to the Mall of America. Do you know how HUGE that mall is? That's a perfect hot spot for a terrorist attack..... well, can't tell him what to do, of course, but I worry and sure wish they'd get back here, which they are going to do and settle in a small community. Parents never stop worrying about their kids, regardless of age....You'll find that out. I remember your 2 beautiful k ids... I've run out of steam.......g'nite.
Knowing what we know now, I wouldn't have called for the Iraq invasion myself. The mission was completely different from what was stated, and Americans generally do not have the capacity or will for Nation building.
With congresses invasion of Iraq. See, before Obama, it was congress that sent us to war. ISIS was not there while our troops were. It was THIS commander in chief that pulled our guys out, creating a vacuum... but you go on believing what you need to.
The Germans never have liked the poles, could get interesting if another bombing happens soon. Countries will be trying to dump them on anybody that will take them.
Nope, ISIS is a product of a pathetic Obama administration. If not him directly then that failure of a Sec. of State Clinton for not negotiating a proper force agreement that would have kept ISIS out of Iraq. All your lies about how this isn't Obama's fault will continue to fall short...
Your probably right.......but let's ask 30 folks in Brussels and another 130 or so in Paris what they think........oh wait........never mind........we'll just have to go with what 'rational' people think.....
The Poles saved White Western civilization from the Muslim hoards at the gates of Vienna about four hundred years ago..........they are leading the way again......
