Slovakia has said it will not accept any Muslims under an EU scheme to share migrants more evenly between member states.
“We want to help Europe with the migration issue. We could take 800 Muslims but we don't have any mosques in Slovakia so how can Muslims be integrated if they are not going to like it here?” Ivan Metik, an interior ministry spokesman, said.
Slovakia is to host 200 migrants under an EU plan to redistribute 40,000 away from Italy and Greece, which are overwhelmed with the numbers arriving across the Mediterranean.
The Slovakian government said it plans to ask the migrants their religion on arrival.
That's exactly how I see it. Slovakia gets a massive amount of EU funds to support it so they may wish to control who comes to their country but ultimately money will talk.

How dare the Slovaks use common sense to keep out a cancer that is gaining momentum across Europe and the Middle East. How dare they want to keep there country from developing a minority that WILL as it does everywhere it gets beyond 33% agitating through terror for self rule.How dare they see teir neighbours like Serbia torn apart through having a muslim minority. How dare they want to protect their Judeo Christian heritage. They will regret this, Brussels will force them to become Islamic whether the people want it or not. How dare those Slovaks want to preserve their country the way it is today.
They might believe it, but in practicality I really can't see the EU letting them.

The EU can dangle all the funny money they want but it appears Slovakian leaders believe no amount of money could make this trade worthwhile.
Lol, can you think of any Christians who would wish to migrate to many parts of the ME? Really?

I think it's a prejudiced act. I mean, if it were the opposite and a ME country refused to receive people because they're Christian and they don't have a church there, that'd just be... well... stupid.
I saw that, and it shocked me as well. I am glad the UK is still able to lawfully defend its border and flick the finger at any EU requests.

The row came as a mayor in Germany threatened to use emergency powers to seize empty private homes in order to house asylum-seekers.

If those people are willing to go to a country where there's no history of their religion there, then they'll have to do what so many others do under similar circumstances: adapt.
Terrorism and backwards cultures are a huge problem, yes, and we need to fight those - I say this especially as a transgender man who wouldn't be accepted in MANY places. But refusing to accept immigrants because of their religion is just as backwards, in MY opinion.
