Four countries recognize the threat of Hijrah, a migration to Islamize a new land.

It was an anniversary and the happy group was marking a quarter century together. There was even a cake, with a big chocolate 25 embedded in vanilla icing.
And the group made a wish — for a new fence. To keep the dangerous intruders out.
The group is the Visegrad gang, the V4, as they like to call themselves now. Four countries in central Europe: Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. Four unhappy members of the European Union.
The dangerous intruders in this case are refugees, Syrians for the most part, but also Iraqis and Afghans as well as handfuls of Pakistanis and Africans. They are overwhelmingly Muslim.
That, in the eyes of the V4 leaders, is what makes them dangerous. Not just dangerous, almost poisonous.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the strongman of the new right-wing Polish government, has called these refugees carriers of cholera and dysentery, as well as of “various parasites and protozoa.”
Milos Zeman, the Czech president, says “they arrive with dish towels on their heads and bombs in their pockets.”
Robert Fico, the Slovak prime minister, says allowing hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees into Europe is “ritual suicide.”
And Viktor Orban, the Hungarian prime minister, denounces the current, welcoming EU response to the refugees as “weak,” and proclaims that the fence he ordered built to stop the newcomers at the Serbian border “protects our country and has fended off terrorist attacks.”[…]
Cameron is currently on the cusp of a referendum to determine whether the U.K. stays in the EU, and the Germans are desperate to keep Britain inside the European tent.
The V4 isn’t making things easier, and the Germans are getting publicly annoyed.
The atmosphere is getting poisonous,” wrote the German ambassador to the Czech republic, Arndt Freytag, in an article for a Czech newspaper.
He complained of “xenophobia” in Central Europe and a growing split between the continent’s west and east.
Oh no, the Czechs answered, we’re not xenophobic. We’ll welcome many newcomers — from Ukraine. Fellow Slavs and fellow Christians in other words.
