Syrian Priest: Christians Threatened in Asylum Seeker Centers by Muslims

The Syrian orthodox priest Samoil Dogan, who officiates at a church in Hengelo, says that Christian asylum seekers in the Nijmegen center are being threatened by Muslims.  Threats include ominous language - for instance, a Muslim boasted that “In Syria I killed two Christians.”  Christian refugees feel unsafe in the Netherlands, even though it is the safest country in Europe.  When in the centers, they don’t even dare to make the sign of the cross.  Dogan has urged the authorities to establish separate centers for Christian refugees.

Chief of Police: Terror attack unavoidable in the Netherlands

The outgoing commander of the Dutch national police, Gerard Bouman, said that he is convinced that there will be a terrorist attack in the Netherlands, noting that the country is one of the few in Europe which has not yet experienced such an attack.  He stated that there was far too much pressure on the police, saying “we no longer are dealing with separate incidents, but with a continuous current of incidents.”  He named refugees and counter-terrorism as the two major police problems of today.  Eighty-two terror-related investigations are currently underway.  He also mentioned that the national police are running out of money.
