(NPR) - Since last year the world has seen a massive surge of people from the Middle East flooding into Europe mostly from the regions of war torn Africa, Syria and Iraq.

In a world where politics are generally based on a two-party system, the right has been the only one of the two who are opposed to accepting refugees and for a laundry list of reasons.

The origins of this latest outrage comes from Denmark, home of one of my favorite existentialists and setting of the latest Eddie Redmayne film, with the Danish government passing a bill that would essentially seize the assets of people from Arab regions.
