At the gates of Vienna

There is a tsunami of migrants who seek entry into Europe.
There is a distinction that has to be applied to this host of migrants:
     1. there are those who are refugees from war against IS, ISIL etc
     2. those that are victims of the civil war in Syria against Asad
     3. economic migrants such as these:

         and those who currently in the Captain Elias Hotel in Kos 
         who are from Bangladesh and Pakistan

Once the Ottoman Empire sent an entire army to the gates of Vienna to conquer Europe. In one day this army was routed by the Christian forces and saved Europe.

Today 2015. 09. 08 and Europe with open arms are welcoming an equivalent number of people of that defeated Ottoman army.

What a difference a day makes!
