resettlement. It is mostly conservatives that resist refugee resettlement in the US as well.

Antipathy towards the EU is a common sentiment on the right in Europe. The refugee crisis has given the an Islamic OTHER to use as an example of why the EU is evil.

The EU probably would be better off to let (or force) the RW governments in eastern and central Europe to leave. (Kind of like liberal Americans taking Texas conservatives up on their threat to their state secede from our country. ) The relatively liberal and prosperous core countries in northern Europe would be better off without the conservative-led countries that have joined later. I don't think that liberal European think that way so they won't jettison and wall off the relatively poor countries in central and eastern Europe but will continue to try to work with them.

400 arrested as left wing protesters clash with far-right in Germany

Hundreds of left-wing protesters have clashed with people attending a far-right party conference in the German city of Stuttgart.

AfD, which wants to ban the burqa and outlaw minarets in Germany, is expected to announce that it is explicitly anti-Islamic during the meeting.

The party was due to set out its manifesto ahead of country's general election next year.

Footage on social media showed the protesters shouting slogans such as: "Keep refugees, drive Nazis away!"
