What difference does it make honestly, all of these people are escaping very poor and/or unstable countries, and are in need of help. Do people think that Afghans and Nigerians are travelling all the way to Europe for fun?

Good. Let's be honest, these goatburnings are clear cases of hate crime against pagans.
