		</div><p>German Chancellor Angela Merkel has pressed fellow European nations to share the burden of the influx of migrants.</p>
<p>The German leader told reporters in Berlin that the European Union will betray its values if it fails to get a grip on the crisis.</p>
<p>Germany has taken more asylum seekers than any other EU country and is one of only a handful of nations that has accepted significant numbers.</p>
<p>It expects about 800,000 migrants to arrive this year; about four times the number it saw in 2014.</p>
<p>Mrs Merkel renewed calls for quotas to spread the migrants out among more countries in the 28-nation EU, a call that has run into stiff resistance, in particular from eastern nations including Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland.</p>
<p>&#8220;Europe as a whole must move and its states must share the responsibility for refugees seeking asylum,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Universal civil rights so far have been closely linked with Europe and its history, it was one of the founding motives of the European Union,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p><a href="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/image.jpg"><img src="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/image.jpg" alt="Migrants Crisis" width="600" height="325" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79056" /></a></p>
<p>&#8220;If Europe fails on the question of refugees, this close connection with universal civil rights &#8230; will be destroyed and it won’t be the Europe we want.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mrs Merkel said of talks with other EU nations that &#8220;there’s no point in publicly calling each other names, but we must simply say that the current situation is not satisfactory&#8221;.</p>
<p>She was openly critical of the idea of giving priority to refugees who are Christians, a preference voiced by Slovakia.</p>
<p>She said Europe’s values are based on the dignity of every individual, and that saying Muslims are not wanted &#8220;can’t be right&#8221;.</p>
<p>In Germany itself, refugees have largely been welcomed though increasing attacks on migrants and shelters have alarmed authorities.</p>
<p>Mrs Merkel promised to use &#8220;the full force of the law&#8221; against those who abuse or attack migrants or their accommodation.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no tolerance toward those who question the dignity of other people,&#8221; she said, urging Germans to &#8220;keep your distance&#8221; from anti-migrant protests.</p>
