#RefugeesWelcome March in Brussels; Anti-Refugee Violence in Finland 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In response to the influx of refugees, thousands marched in Brussels
Sunday in a "Refugees Welcome" solidarity march. This comes after, in
Finland, dozens of nationalists, including one man dressed like a member
of the Ku Klux Klan, threw fireworks and rocks at a bus filled with
Iraqi refugees and Finnish Red Cross volunteers on Thursday.
Nationalists also scrawled the words "Go Home" on the pavement outside
the refugee reception in Lahti. Meanwhile, a Finnish man has been
arrested for throwing a Molotov cocktail at an emergency refugee shelter
in another part of Finland.
