Juncker warns European leaders 'do not mix up terrorists with refugees'

[lego 44,165]

 

Right-wing European politicians have highlighted the discovery of a Syrian passport near the body of one of the suicide bombers and that the holder of the document, Ahmed Almuhamed, had entered the EU in a group of 69 refugees after their boat sank off the Greek Island of Leros last month as a cause for concern.

But intelligence sources have thrown doubt on whether the passport was real or not, while French officials have stated there is no proof that the bomber himself was Mr Almuhamed.

Mr Juncker made it clear that “the one responsible for the attacks in Paris… he is a criminal and not a refugee and not an asylum seeker,” and told those seeking to change the migration agenda that has already been adopted in Europe not to “give in” to these basic reactions following Friday night’s attack.

...

As countries across Europe observe a minute’s silence for the 129 people killed in the brutal attack on Paris, the president of the European Commission has issued a stark warning to member states seeking to use the tragedy claimed by Isis as a reason to question their intake of refugees – many of whom are fleeing the same militants operating in their home countries.

Speaking at a news conference at the G20 summit in Turkey, Jean Claude Juncker said: “We should not mix the different categories of people coming to Europe.

“Those who organised these attacks and those that perpetrated them are exactly those that the refugees are fleeing and not the opposite,” he said.

Really important message! Very encouraging seeing some politicians not giving in/taking advantage of the terror spreading through Europe, but instead reinforcing human values in society... 

EDIT: Just to clarify, by terror I don't mean terrorism but the state of mind

The only way to do that is to set up border check points and identify everyone that is coming in.

I thought this was common sense though. You can't just have people come in to a country without proper paperwork and identification.

Careful, calling for common sense policies on this website will get you called names such as "racist" and "cold hearted"... ?

Not everyone has paperwork to be identified with though.
