Religious Discrimination - Migrants crisis: Slovakia 'will only accept Christians'

Slovakia says it will only accept Christians when it takes in Syrian refugees under a EU relocation scheme.
The country is due to receive 200 people from camps in Turkey, Italy and Greece under the EU plan to resettle 40,000 new arrivals.

Interior ministry spokesman Ivan Netik said Muslims would not be accepted because they would not feel at home.

The UN's refugee agency (UNHCR) called on countries to take an "inclusive approach" to relocation.
But Mr Netik denied the move was discriminatory and said it was intended to ensure community cohesion.

Note EU-Digest: whatever way the Slovaks want to call what they are doing - it is discrimination with a capital D and should be unacceptable by the EU.

Is God Liberal or Conservative? - by Bruce A.Ritter and Jeffrey D.Davis

Speaking about the U.S. presidential campaign, author Paul Kengor expressed the following in an interview with Frontpage Magazine: “Hillary Clinton realizes that if she is to win in 2008, she needs more than the atheist vote. She needs to win a sizable enough sliver of those 2000 and 2004 moral-religious ‘values voters’ who twice elected George W. Bush. Those who attend church weekly or more went overwhelming for Bush, by two-to-one ratios, and each time provided him with an absolutely decisive vote margin of about five million ballots. “It became clear in the immediate days after the November 2004 vote…that [presidential candidate Hillary Clinton] was going to go after that values voter. She angrily complained that it was a sign of ‘such disrespect’ to think that liberal Democrats who believe in God cannot be attractive to these religious voters. Ever since, she has pursued a strategy to win them over in 2008.”

Since both the Conservative Right and now the Liberal Left, in effect, claim that the God of the Bible is on their side, this naturally begs the question, “Is God liberal or conservative?” In other words, what “social issues” and positions does He support?

Religious processions thrive in Netherlands despite fall in numbers of regular churchgoers

It's a sunny Sunday morning, and altar boys ringing silver bells announce the passage of the Blood and Body of Christ through the ancient streets of Eijsden and its surrounding pastures. Roman Catholic families line the route to watch the start of “Bronkfeest,” a local religious festival that dates from time out of mind.

Though the Netherlands is frequently the target of criticism by religious conservatives and the Vatican for its tolerant policies toward marijuana, prostitution and euthanasia, many Dutch are both socially permissive and highly religious.
