One would think that genuine refugees would be peaceful and grateful to their hosts. But this is a hijrah.
“Police and migrants clash for third straight night in Calais ‘Jungle,'” AFP, November 11, 2015 (thanks to C. Cantoni):
Clashes erupted between police and migrants of a makeshift camp near the northern French port of Calais overnight Tuesday as police bolstered security in response to a third consecutive night of unrest.

LJUBLJANA/VELIKI OBREZ, Slovenia (Reuters) - Slovenia began erecting a razor wire fence along parts of its border with Croatia on Wednesday, saying it wanted better control over a tide of migrants flowing through the tiny country en route to other areas of Europe.
The continent is grappling with its biggest influx of migrants - more than one million are expected this year - since World War Two and is deeply split over how best to respond. European Union leaders were to hold a special summit in Malta later on Wednesday to try to iron out their differences.

The policy of the EU has been utterly incompetent and the people who bombed Libya, wanted to arm Syrian rebels (now-ISIS) will face no repercussions from this..just another horrible failure.
