Why all the refugees from the Balkans
and how does it relate to Islam?
and how does it relate to Islam?
In order to wrap ones mind around this we must go back in history to around 1354 when Muslim Ottoman Turks began pushing north and west into Europe. After the fall of Constantinople in 1453 Muslims lead by Suleyman the Magnificent continued their efforts of expansion into Bulgaria, Greece and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The southern part of the Balkans was predominately Greek Byzantine while the northern areas were Latin Catholic with many Jews scattered about among both kingdoms. While Islam was out to make converts they were even more interested in collecting the jizyah tax from these infidels to finance Muslim expansion. With the usual carrot and stick pressures over the years many conversions were merely a means to avoid taxes.
When the Ottoman Empire began to fall apart in the 19th century the previous ethnic groups began to rise up to reclaim their previous borders. After several hundred years of intermarriage and business connections this of course was a very complicated and volatile procedure. Lots of bad blood had past under the bridge and few were willing to ignore the nasty history of Muslim occupation. In 1914 the Serbs ended up going to war against their northern Austrian Hungarian neighbors over border disputes and the fact that Serbia found themselves landlocked. Because of this area being so strategic to trade with Russia and countries around the Black Sea and its connecting rivers this drew many of the world powers into what became the first world war.
Greek, Armenian and Turkish ethnic groups exchanged boundries and many other ethnic groups such as Albanians, and Bosniacs found themselves being pressured out of their homes creating a sea of refugees in every direction. Many of these unwanted people made their way to western countries including America. The danger here lies in opening the doors to Muslims whose religion is one of conquest by various forms of jihad. Jihad which means struggle is not only a personal struggle over ones inner demons but a struggle to make Islam the dominate religion wherever it goes. As history has proven this never ends well because Islam flies in the face of nearly every Christian biblical doctrine. Their history of Jewish hatred eventually boils to the surface as well. There is no humor in Islam and Muslims cannot sit still for someone criticizing their prophet or his religion. The principle of freedom of speech in the west Muslims can only be ignored for so long. When Allah does not deal with the criticism of the infidels his followers come to his aid to whack them into submission. The skull tower in Nis Serbia is a prime example of how Christians suffered because of sharia law under the Turks. https://youtu.be/2ho-bb96ktY
