The enormous stream reveals not only Europe’s hesitant face, but also new phenomena. Slovakia announced it would refuse to take in Muslims. Christian? No problem. Two hundred received entry permits. Only 200. What Slovakia officially says, other countries – Poland, Hungary, and Bulgaria – are doing in a slightly less blunt manner. They refuse to obey decisions made in Brussels, the European Union’s capital, regarding immigration quotas.
Bulgaria does not wish to change its religious balance – eight percent of its population is Muslim – and Poland is emphasizing that it is a Christian nation. Estonia also declared it was a nation “belonging to a Christian culture,” and the Czech Republic announced that it would not take in “refugees from a completely different cultural background.” These are no longer rioters in an obscure German city, or radical right-wing parties, or Pegida protesters, who oppose Islamization. Now it is also the official policy of some countries.
The EU heads of state understand by now that there is a problem. The Schengen Agreement, which created open borders between the Union’s countries, is increasingly violated. Some eastern and central European countries are building border fences. The United Kingdom is preventing the entry of masses of refugees trying to enter via the English Channel. And even those who managed to enter are encountering new legislative initiatives that make the lives of asylum seekers much more

I read the article, and I am totally unable to see how universalism applies.
Those European countries are small. Traveling across Europe used to mean constant stops for border crossings. Imagine you were on the US east coast, and every small state you went through, you had to stop, present your ID, get checked, maybe a random search of your vehicle.
Besides, your stuff on only letting in Christian refugees seems to suggest they don't want their countries to become more Muslim. It is prejudice, but is it a bad thing? For a country to be overwhelmed with people with totally different values and a different religion, I cannot blame them for protecting their country. And that is simply not universalism by any definition!
