JUST PHILOSOPHISING - ON WHETHER THE VIKTOR ORBAN'S HUNGARY IS BECOMING THE NEW REFUGE OF ODIOUS NATIONALISM? PART 1.

While Hungary's Government, under the vile, but clearly well supported tutelage of its extremist nationalistic Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, sets itself up as the 'leader' of Europe's Christian Crusade against Europe becoming 'Islamisised.' 

It is very ironic that the President, even though he is citing Christendom and 'western civilisation' as the standard of his crusade.  

Is also displaying a noticeable lack of the tolerance, humility and hospitality, which has become foremost amongst the enlightened version of both Christianity and 'western civilisation.' 

And so we must take it, that the kind of 'nationalism', the kind of 'Christianity and western civilisation' of which Prime Minister Orban is making much ado.  

Is that which belongs to the Middle Ages. The age of the barbarians, if you like. 

A kind of Hungarian puritanism, a form of European, white racism, of the kind which would not go amiss within the orbit of Hitler's Third Rich.

All of which raises the question: How has Hungary found itself within the European Union, and institution which has made and is making much of its'liberal democratic' values? 

Well, it might have been that Viktor Orban was not Hungary's Prime Minister when it became a member of the EU. 

However, if that is the case, then, why is Hungary being allowed to remain a member, when its vile racist and nationalist ideology and crusade is so at odds with the EU's values? 

Yes, it is the case that Viktor Orban and his Fidesz Party cannot be held solely responsible for his country's extreme Nationalistic ideology. 

Not when he has been its Prime Minister for the past 8 years, and having served a 4 year term previously. 

All of which suggest that he and his Party has to have the support of a large, if not majority section of the Hungarian people. 

Which would suggest that Hungarians are receptive to his Orban's anti-Islamic Crusade, and are equally opposed to immigrants coming into Hungary.
