Christian
migrants in German asylum centres are living under persistent threat, with
many fearing for their lives as the hardline Sunni majority within the
migrant population attempts to enforce Sharia law in their new host nation. The
situation is so bad that Christians claim they live like “prisoners” in
Germany, and some have even returned to Middle East.
In
the German state of Thuringia, Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow, one of the
multiculturalists driving and celebrating the migrant crisis, has been forced
to initiate a policy of separating and segregating different cultures as soon
as they arrive in Europe.
“In
Iran, the Revolutionary Guards have arrested my brother in a house church. I
fled the Iranian intelligence, because I thought in Germany I can finally live
freely according to my religion,” says Said, a Christian who fled persecution
in his native country.
“But
I can not openly admit that I am a Christian in my home for asylum seekers. I
will be threatened,” he told Germany language paper Die Welt.
This
year Germany prepares to absorb a million people in just twelve months – one
per cent of its entire population – from numerous, diverse and alien cultures.
“We
must rid ourselves of the illusion that all those who arrive here are human
rights activists,” says Max Klingberg of the International Society for Human
Rights (ISHR), who has
worked with refugees for 15 years. “Among the new arrivals is not a small
amount of religious intensity, it is at least at the level of the Muslim
Brotherhood,” he said.
Said
is living in an asylum centre in southern Brandenburg, near the border with
Saxony. “They wake me before dawn during Ramadan and say I should eat before
the sun comes up. If I refuse, they say I’m a kuffar, an unbeliever. They spit
at me… They treat me like an animal. And threaten to kill me.”
“…
They are also all Muslims,” he adds.
Gottfried
Martens, a pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church Trinity in
Berlin-Steglitz, has around 600 Afghanis and Iranians in his church, most of
whom he baptised himself. “Almost all have big problems in their homes,” says
Martens. “Devout Muslims teach their view, that here [in Germany] there is the
Sharia, and then there is our law.”
He
told Die Welt that the Christian refugees are often stopped from using
kitchens to prepare food in asylum centres, and are constantly bullied for
not praying five times a day to Mecca. Martens continues:
“And
[the Christians] ask the question: What happens when the devout Muslim refugees
leave the refugee center, must we continue hiding ourselves as Christians in
the future in this country?”
Said’s
fear is not unfounded. On the 14th of September German police in the town of
Hemer revealed in a statement that an Eritrean Christian and his
wife – who was eight months pregnant – had been hospitalised after being
brutally attacked with a glass bottle by Algerian Muslims. The man had been
wearing a wooden crucifix, which had “insulted” the Algerians.
In
September, Syrian
refugees rioted in the town of Suhl when an Afghan man tore a few pages out
of the Koran. Last week during Ramadan, in Baden-Württemberg Ellwangen, there
was a mass brawl between Christians, Yazidis and Muslims, and just this weekend migrant violence erupted as hundreds
fought in the city of Kassel, leaving 14 injured.
A
young Syrian from Erstaufnahmelager in Giessen, who has reported threats
against him, said he is concerned that among the refugees are followers of the
Islamic State (IS): “They shout Quranic verses. These are words that IS shouts
before they cut off people’s heads. I cannot stay here. I am a Christian,” he
said
Die
Welt even reports a case of a Christian family from Iraq who was housed in
a refugee camp in Bavarian Freising. The family lived like “prisoners” in
Germany, they said, so returned to Mosul in Iraq. The father told a TV crew how
Syrian Islamists had attacked them in Germany: “You have my wife yelled at and
beaten. My child they say… We will kill you and drink your blood.”
Simon
Jacob of the Central Council of the Eastern Christians said that stories like
this no longer surprise him: “I know a lot of reports of Christian refugees who
are under attack. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.”
“The
number of unreported cases is high. We must expect further conflicts that bring
the refugees from their homeland to Germany. Between Christians and Muslims.
Between Shiites and Sunnis. Between Kurds and extremists. Between Yazidis and
extremists,” he said.
