Greece's financial crisis has caused citizens to turn their anger and frustration on foreigners and immigrants, blaming them for simply wanting a better life. The extreme right Golden Dawn party in Athens, Greece is a leader in a movement for violence against foreigners. The above picture shows Ali Kaser, a Pakistani man living in Greece, who says he was attacked by members of the Golden Dawn party. According to AP News, one fourth of people are unemployed, and more than 50 percent of the young population is unemployed and with the economy on a continual downwards spiral, the violence is expected to worsen.
