Hungary does not share a border with any Arab country. One of the illegal Muslim migration routes is via Bosnia trying to cross the border into civilised Christian Croatia and then in to EU Hungary. I know people in Germany, Switzerland, UK etc funding Croatian vigilantes specifically tasked to beat and push back Pakistanis illegally trying to get into Europe to spread Islam and export the chaos from their failed paradise
