Government weighs response to EU asylum quota plan

The Finnish cabinet is gearing up to oppose mandatory refugee quotas. “We’ve taken a very negative view of fixed mechanisms for sharing the responsibility,” says PM Juha Sipilä.

The Finnish government will weigh the European Commission’s proposal for reforms to asylum application procedures on Friday.

The EU executive wants to revise the 1990 Dublin Regulation, which sets out procedures for asylum applications. Under the new wording, in crisis situations EU countries would be obliged to take in refugees from overwhelmed frontline countries where they first seek asylum.

The three-party Finnish coalition will seek to come up with a coherent stance on the European Commission’s proposal. The cabinet has opposed such quotas, citing its own government platform, which specifies that asylum seekers must be taken in voluntarily.

Soini: No to quotas

On Friday, the government’s ministerial committee on EU affairs will meet to discuss Helsinki’s response. Foreign Minister Timo Soini, chair of the Finns Party – which wants to sharply limit immigration – indicated to Yle on Tuesday that he will not accept the Commission’s quota proposal.

“The statement [on the issue] in the government programme is completely clear. The only way this can advance is on a voluntary basis. That which we have shaken hands on and written into the government programme, will be realised,” Soini said on Tuesday at Parliament House.

Orpo: Wait and see

Interior Minister Petteri Orpo of the conservative National Coalition Party has suggested that this plank in the government platform may have to be reconsidered. Now Orpo is awaiting further clarification of the Commission’s plan.

“We’re now keeping an eye on what form the Commission’s plan will have on its list of proposals for the European Council next week,” he said.

On Friday Orpo expects ministers from the three ruling parties to come up with at least a preliminary view of Finland’s position.

Sipilä: No freeloaders

“We’re aiming to form a common stance and we certainly will do so,” said Prime Minister Juha Sipilä of the Centre Party, adding that he sees both positive and negative in the Commission’s reform blueprint.

“The good thing is that it aims to get everyone involved [in taking in asylum seekers] so that there are no freeloaders. On the other hand we have taken a very negative view of fixed mechanisms for sharing the responsibility,” says the PM.

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
