EU visa-free policy with Turkey – Think Twice
Source, more at:
Soon, there will be a vote regarding the visa-free entry agreement with Turkey in EP. If you agree that this is an important issue please use the following facts to educate your politicians. We should not tell them how to vote, but rather help them make an informed decision. We believe that when many people do small acts, they can create a huge impact.
Migration
From a long term perspective, establishing visa-free relation between Turkey and the EU can be considered a step in wrong direction. This concession will, among other things, lead to decreased Turkish motivation to solve the migration crisis and permanently increase the number of Turkish citizens in the EU.

Security
To set up the visa-free EU travel for Turkey is a considerable security risk for the EU. Turkey is neighbors with non-democratic or unstable states and its own state organs cooperate with jihadists operating in Turkish territory.

Democracy
In the long term, Turkey diverges from the principles inherent to secular democratic states because of its interconnection between government and religion. Political Islam is an obvious component in Turkey, setting its orientation at odds with the rest of secular Europe.

Women
Secular Turkey intends to ensure and maintain gender equality as a basic human right – despite the cultural and religious traditions in the country that have opposing values. Yet, the ruling political powers seem to be favoring the freedom of men over that of women (who represent 52% of the Turkish population). Since Erdogan’s AKP party came to power, the party has been blamed for “rolling back the status of women and moving the country toward Islamic conservatism”. This is a mindset stemming from the Middle Ages, and there is no place for such conservatism in modern Europe.

Christians & Jews
Turkey has a long history of religious and ethnic discrimination reaching back to the Ottoman Empire and continuing into the present day. Despite the fact that the constitution guarantees religious freedom, the Islamist AKP Party and the majority of Turkish society repeatedly violate what’s written there. The gross violation of basic human rights of minorities goes hand in hand with the denial of historical facts surrounding the Armenian genocide and Jewish pogroms. President Erdogan’s official stance on the Armenian genocide reflects this truth: “We did not commit a crime, therefore we do not need to apologise.”

Turkey entering the EU would be a declaration of war against Europeans.
Second Swedish asylum center burns down in suspected arson attack
A Swedish asylum center burned down overnight in a suspected attack by arsonists, police said on Friday, the second incident of its kind in a week in the Stockholm region. Staff alerted police in the early hours of Friday after hearing noises and seeing lights outside the building, Stockholm police spokesman Kjell Lindgren said. A fire then broke out, he said. Two staff and nine residents were at the center at the time of the blaze, during which no one was hurt.
Was bound to end this way. People can only take so much.
