Back from Europe

I just came back from a tour of eastern Europe - Slovenia, Serbia, Hungary, Bulgaria,Rumania. It was an interesting experience taking a river cruise down the Danube and stopping at several cities. My main impressions are the following: the ethnic hatreds still endure , especially in Serbia. They despise the Turks and are so suspicious of Islam. I believe they have good cause for those feelings. I never realized how deep into Europe the Turks had been and how repressive they were towards Christianity. Islam is an aggressive religion and it seems the attitude of Islam today is to retake what they think was theirs up to a century and a half ago. These countries don't want Turkey in the European Union . Entry will give Turks free passage in all these nations and freedom to immigrate to EU countries. With the minus zero birthrate of the Europeans and the high birthrate of Muslims Europe may become an Islamic continent in 50 years - not a good situation.
These countries are in denial about their role in fascism in Europe. They blame Germany for all that happened in WW2 and dont face up to the participation of many residents of these countries. It's easier to point fingers at Germany and ignore one's own role.
The Jews of these countries are essentially extinct, most slaughtered in the concentration camps and the few remaining choosing to leave for Israel or keep a low profile in these nations. The few synagogues are closed most of the time and Jews are regarded as a relic of what once was. There are 100,000 Jews in Hungary but most are either living unaffiliated lives as Jews, or are intermarried. They are afraid of being branded as Jews because of prejudice from the larger community.
These peoples are poor and much of the cities and villages are bleak from communist domination. They are uncomfortable with capitalism and are suspicious of government. The old communists are the billionaires here because they had so much control, especially of real estate. There is alot of corruption.
I wasnt comfortable in any of these countries and am grateful to be back in the USA.
