The Pope has used the word \\u2018immoral\\u2019 in relation to European migration policies, the head Rabbi of British Reform Judaism warns of an impending genocide as migrants are \'dehumanized\', while the Prime Minister of Hungary says Christianity is Europe\\u2019s last hope to save itself.\\n \\nThere are millions who are defiantly anti-immigration who are also devoted to their faith and the word of God. There are millions more \\u2013 also people of faith - who utterly disagree with them.
