The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
A Muslim Member of the Greek Parliment now faces a threat of thorough surveillance for national security reasons. New Democracy deputy parliament speaker MP Charalambos Athanasiou said, "If a Muslim MP might give information to [Turkey], from where migrants can enter the country, why should he not be checked [surveilled]? Here national security takes precedence." The uproar happened at a time when the relationship between Turkey and Greece has soured. The illegal crossing of refugees has caused many worries for the Greeks, and many believe Turkey uses this as leverage. As an additional backdrop, a vast political scandal resulted after the Greek National Intelligence Agency tapped the phone and other communications of opposition leader Nikos Androulakis when he was running for party leader of PASOK-KINAL. The Left-wing SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance has demanded the dismissal of Athanasiou for the "unacceptable statements." SYRIZA said in a statement, "Mr. Athanassiou ought to know that 'national security relates to the intervention of a third country in Greece's domestic politics or involvement in criminal activities." SYRIZA added, "It does not relate and may not relate to the religion of Greek citizens or deputies. Essentially, Mr. Athanassiou claims that whoever is not a Christian Orthodox is a national threat."
