A dispute has broken out in Europe over the fate of Yazidi refugees. Portugal has offered to take in several hundred of the two-and-a-half thousand Yazidis living in Greece, arguing their ancient community merits special protection. But Athens has rejected the offer, worried that other countries might start cherry-picking refugees based on religion. Some 60,000 migrants are stranded in Greece, as Henry Ridgwell reports.
