Showing pictures of dead kids is a real propaganda issue formulated by the "Muslims for Europe" group. They borrowed their tactics from the "Trevor Marten, Innocent 5th Grade Boy Group". Shame on them.

Yeah, and the boy was found in the rocks, and later placed on the beach for effect.

Anyway, so if their from Syria, why doesn't Turkey set up humanitarian camps and take care of these people until they can return home, like Jordan and Lebanon did, and still doing, with the Palestinians?

Fizz: The Muslims might not be required to take care of their own nor the stranger. Jews are required too. Catholics are suppose to do so, but it usually involves, money.

The facts say that most economic migrants this week were Moroccans.

And Morocco's official state religion is? Although compared to a lot of other Islamic governed countries it's the place I'd be most likely to visit.

There is no fundie problem in Morocco. I'm surprised to see you of all posters to fall for the Islamaphobia.

They are economic migrants. The majority of them.

“No parent would put their children in that kind of situation unless what they were escaping from was worse,”

This is true of any parent.. muslim, christian, jew, hindu.

Dear Chancellor Merkel, please shut down the border and sending back asylum seekers back to Turkey. Otherwise, there will be more those unfortunate desperate refugees children and adult from Syria will drown at sea.

How many peoples must drown at sea before Chancellor Merkel confesses she was wrong about her open door to asylum seekers policy?

Also EU Commissioner does not listen to citizens of EU states and he even went further and accused victims of New Year sexual assault as liars and calling for to stop fault accusation against Muslim migrants. Muslim migrant crisis is nothing to do with New Year sexual assault. Obviously, EU Governing Council was not running by democracy system and it looks like authoritarianism regime.

Images of dead children on a beach on Saturday were another soul-searing reminder that Europe’s migrant crisis keeps destroying lives and families by the day.

Instead of blaming Europe, the images of dead children should be more of a "soul-searching reminder" of economic conditions and horrific violence that exist in the Muslims' home countries. Otherwise, why would they seek aid and comfort from infidels?

"The facts say that most economic migrants this week were Moroccans."

Why would Moroccans go all the way to Turkey to get to Europe, which is right across the narrow Gibraltor Straight from their own country.

I know there is no fundi problem in Morocco, but why are they leaving for a better economic standard? As I said, it is still an Islamic governed country that doesn't focus on secularism. Hence, they run mostly by Islamic "law" which doesn't allow for much economic growth that runs counter to religious dictate.
