Slovakia refuses to take in Muslim migrants

Officials in Slovakia are refusing to accept Muslims migrants as part of their refuge quota because they claim the country has no mosque to cater for them. Slovakia is to host about 200 migrants from the Middle East as part of the European Union, in an attempt to redistribute 40,000 people away from Italy and Greece, which has become the first point of call via boat.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the interior ministry spokesman  Ivan Metik said, “We want to help Europe with the migration issue. We could take 800 Muslims but we don't have any mosques in Slovakia so how can Muslims be integrated if they are not going to like it here?”
The Slovakian government plans to make inquiries about the migrants religion on arrival but however, an EU source told the The Telegraph, while it is legal to prioritise Christians who are at extra risk of persecution because of their religion, turning away Muslims because there are no mosques would be discriminatory and of dubious legality.
The number of migrants registered at the EU’s borders more than tripled in July to 107,500 compared to the same month last year, according to figures released by Frontex, the EU agency. Most are Syrians, Afghans, and sub-Saharan Africans, fleeing instability or poverty.
