Russia: Patriarch Kirill worried Europe is perceived as a Christian aggressor in the Arab world

Russia: Patriarch Kirill worried Europe is perceived as a Christian aggressor in the Arab world

Via Interfax:

Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia is worried that, as he sees it, many people in the Middle East perceive the events that have happened there of late as a conflict between the Christians and the Muslims.

"It is absolutely unacceptable if Europe is perceived as an aggressor in the Arab world's eyes. This must be prevented by any means, because, although Europe today is, excuse me, godless and secular and does not associate itself too much with Christianity, the deeply religious Islamic population still sees Europe as Christians," Patriarch Kirill said in an interview with Moldovan and Romanian TV channels and the Russian news TV channel Rossiya-24 in Chisinau.

Therefore, "at the market and street level, many see Europe's engagement in the problems of the Arab world - not only political but also military - as some combat between Christians and Muslims," he said.

It is important to prevent "an inter-religious and inter-civilizational factor, because this all can backfire very painfully in the globalizing world, and not only in the Middle East, but also in European counties," he said.

Denmark: Supreme Court rules to deport immigrant drug dealer

Denmark: Supreme Court rules to deport immigrant drug dealer

Fez Fez will appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.

Via the Copenhagen Post:

Convicted drug dealer and gang member Mahmoud Khalil Salem, otherwise known as 'Fez Fez', has been expelled from Denmark by the Supreme Court.

Earlier this year, in an evenly split decision, the Western High Court ruled that the 41-year-old from Odense, who has lived in Denmark for nearly 20 years and is currently serving a six-year prison sentence, could not be deported out of consideration for his wife and eight children who reside in Denmark.

The Supreme Court today overturned that lower court ruling, with six judges ruling for deportation and the seventh recommending a so-called ‘suspended deportation’.

Belgium: "No more cash for asylum seekers"

Belgium: "No more cash for asylum seekers"

Via VRT:

A commission of the Chamber of Representatives has decided to tighten up rules regarding the care and support that must be given to asylum seekers in Belgium. In future asylum seekers will only receive benefits in kind and no cash and from citizens of other EU countries it will become increasingly difficult to secure the 'living wage' benefit from local social services.

UK: Supreme Court outlaws Government ban on marriage-immigrants under 21

UK: Supreme Court outlaws Government ban on marriage-immigrants under 21

Via the Daily Mail:

Banning foreign spouses aged between 18 and 21 from entering the UK is not a lawful way of dealing with the problem of forced marriages, the Supreme Court ruled today.

(...)

Today the highest court in the land rejected the appeal by Home Secretary Theresa May and ruled that the ban on 18 to 21-year-old foreign spouses coming into the country was 'arbitrary and disruptive'.

It comes as Prime Minister David Cameron promises to make forced marriages a criminal offence for the first time as he condemned them as 'little more than slavery'.
