BERLIN, GERMANY - AUGUST 24: Supporters of the Pegida movement carry a banner that reads: "Stop the Islamization of Europe" as they march past the Chancellery (behind) on August 24, 2015 in Berlin, Germany. Pegida is critical of Islam and many of its supporters see Muslim immigration as a threat to Germany. Germany is expected to take in 800,000 refugees and migrants this year, many of them from Muslim countries such as Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, and Germany has seen a spate of protests and violence in recent weeks by right-wing supporters opposing the influx of aslyum-seekers.

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY - SEPTEMBER 03: Police stand guard as migrants sit on the platform of Keleti station after it was reopened this morning in central Budapest on September 3, 2015 in Budapest, Hungary. Although the station has reopened all international trains to Western Europe have bee cancelled. According to the Hungarian authorities a record number of migrants from many parts of the Middle East, Africa and Asia are crossing the border from Serbia. Since the beginning of 2015 the number of migrants using the so-called Balkans route has exploded with migrants arriving in Greece from Turkey and then travelling on through Macedonia and Serbia before entering the EU via Hungary. The massive increase, said to be the largest migration of people since World War II, led Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban to order Hungary's army to build a steel and barbed wire security barrier along its entire border with Serbia, after more than 100,000 asylum seekers from a variety of countries and war zones entered the country so far this year.
