Page 275 - A Helping Hand for Refugees

Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi reacted in a similar manner:
''If you do not agree with the figure of 40,000 asylum seekers you do not deserve
to call yourself Europeans. If this is your idea of Europe, you can keep it. Either
there's solidarity or don't waste our time." 61

Europe's fear that the flow of refugees in the world might also end
in terrorists reaching it is certainly understandable. Yet there is a solu-
tion to it; it would be easy enough to establish refugees' identities and
settlement. However, to forget that wretched people who have fled their

own countries are human and to regard them as a burden, while
demanding that others accept 'greater share of that burden,' may turn
into a terrible tragedy that may debase Europe's own societies at any
moment. Europe can only achieve true civilization when it regards
refugees fleeing death as guests from God and looks on the subject, not
as a problem, but as an opportunity to contribute to humanity. Lovely
Europe, with its fine people, democracy and culture, must be a union
of freedom and civilization that put humanity above all else, rather than
a union of an elite focused on enrichment. The main way of achieving

that is to abandon the primitive mindset that classifies people on the
basis of their race, religion or way of life. One of Europe's worst his-
toric errors was because of that mindset, and the time has now come
to make amends.

Refugees come to be repelled with water cannons and tear gas and are
being beaten in some regions of Europe. Beautiful Europe should not
be an elite community, which only focuses on personal enrichment, but
a cradle of civilizations placing humanity before everything.
