Now the European Union wants to spread some of the fear around. They want to disperse about 160,000 refugees to Poland and Hungary, and those nations are giving a big thumbs down to that idea. Poland in particular is digging in its heels.
Okay, said EU hardliners to the Poles. Wanna play that way? We’ll cut off EU funds. But Konrad Symański, the Polish Europe Minister, told the EU that plans to disperse that number of refugees is "not implementable." Furthermore, that EU money is self-serving for Germans, Italian, and French investors, anyway.
In addition to that tough stand by Symański, Polish Prime Minister Beata Syzdło addressed her nation’s parliament about the refugee issue. Calling it "Brussels elites’ folly," she blasted the EU. And she minced no words, either.
Poland, of course, is no stranger to terror and fear. Germany invaded Poland in 1939, setting off World War II. And why did Germany invade? Why, Hitler wanted Lebensraum -- "living space" -- for the German people. Does this sound vaguely familiar to Islamism today? Caliphate, anyone?

So can anyone blame the Poles for saying "Nie!" -- No! to the threat of Islamism? Nie! to terror attacks and sharia law causing havoc in their land?
