This figure does not include individuals who got into the EU undetected.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 364,183 migrants entered the European Union by sea between January and August, compared to 280,000 for the whole of 2014, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/missingmigrants.iom.int\/sites\/default\/files\/Mediterranean_Update_3_September.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">updated statistics<\/a> published by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) on September 3, 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Of the total maritime arrivals, 245,274 arrived in Greece, 116,649 in Italy, and 2,166 arrived in Spain. The top countries of origin are: Syria, followed by Afghanistan, Eritrea, Nigeria, Albania, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan and Iraq.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, 132,240 migrants are known to have <a href=\"http:\/\/frontex.europa.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\">arrived<\/a> in the European Union during the first seven months of 2015 by land, crossing from Turkey into Greece and Bulgaria, according to Frontex, the EU\u2019s border management agency. The top three countries of origin are: Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>Germany and Sweden are the final destinations of choice for most migrants, lured by the generous benefits they can claim and the governments\u2019 message that refugees are welcome in unlimited numbers.<\/p>\n<p>If sustained indefinitely, the open-door immigration policies could draw potentially millions of Muslims into Europe from the Middle East and North Africa.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gatestoneinstitute.org\/6473\/europe-migration-crisis-welfare\" target=\"_blank\">Continue Reading Here<\/a>\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Europe&#8217;s open-door immigration policies could draw potentially millions of Muslims into Europe from the Middle East and North Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[60,180,154,140,192,46,183,52,179,55,155,164,21,181,185,196,195,182,57,138,197,177,62,165],"class_list":["post-6271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-islam-in-europe","tag-austria","tag-britain","tag-bulgaria","tag-czech-republic-2","tag-denmark","tag-european-multiculturalism","tag-finland","tag-france","tag-germany","tag-greece","tag-hungary","tag-iceland-2","tag-immigration","tag-islam-in-europe","tag-italy","tag-macedonia","tag-migration-crisis","tag-netherlands","tag-norway","tag-scandinavia","tag-slovakia","tag-spain","tag-sweden","tag-vatican"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
