Hungarian PM: Refugees threaten Europe's 'Christian values'

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has warned that refugees who threatened to "overrun" Europe would undermine the continent's "Christian values".

"We must not forget that those who are coming in have been brought up under a different religion and represent a profoundly different culture," he wrote in the German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

"The majority are not Christians but Muslims. That is an important question because Europe and European culture have Christian roots.

"Or is it not already, and in itself, alarming that Europe's Christian culture is barely able to uphold Europe's own Christian values?"
