Aid worker says British government must be firm with migrants who don't want to abide by Christian law

With the influx of displaced migrants from conflict ridden areas of the Middle East flocking to refugee camps, aid workers have warned the British government to be tough in enforcing their own values on the refugees as they have shown resistance to adopting to the culture of their host nations.

While many nations have opened their doors to the asylum seekers from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa since last year, an aid worker lamented that they are still being viewed by the migrants in a derogatory manner, an unnamed source told the Express UK.

According to the source, who understands the migrants' native tongue, he often hears derogatory remarks being hurled against humanitarian workers, calling them "filthy Christian kuffars" which is a negative term meaning non believer.

"The difference is I know these people, I hear them. I'm sorry, I have to say it, I hear what they say when they speak to their own people - not what they say in English. I am not saying don't take them, I am saying your country needs to be strong, get tough."

He said that while host countries would very much like to accommodate the way of life of the migrants, they need to draw the line and be firm in imposing the rules for all, or else this will result in further conflict.

"You have to make it happen or it won't be your country anymore. They have no intention of living under Christian law," he said.

The source said that despite the fact that these migrants were also victims of abuse and persecution, they too harbour preconceptions about Christianity and the Christian workers who are doing their best to help them.

He recounted an incident wherein a group of Afghan men were given food, water and basic supplies by a Christian aid worker near Croatia but after receiving the supplies, the worker was shunned by the group because he was seen as a dirty Christian.

"This is how they repay you for help. You have to deal with this properly. Everyone here is helping. I am helping but that doesn't mean changing your country for them. They have to learn to respect Christian neighbours and Christian law," he said.
