Topic: to Europeans: can you please try explain to me why your countries accept Muslims - page 7. (Read 10449 times)

I've never been particularly critical of Merkel. As far as German politics goes, she seemed fairly reasonable.

Until this insanity.

Now I think she'll go down in history as the German chancellor who did more damage to Europe than any other in history. Including Hitler.

United Nations: Human Rights! People are free to be religious and have their own opinions. There is nothing wrong with Islamic People/Muslims. There Is, however, a problem with Islamic Extremism (A MINORITY OF THE POPULATION)

(also: more than 1 million people have been trafficed from Siria and other neighbouring countries. So, some haven't been accepted... They have just arrived and then travel to the richest part of Europe, western Europe: France, Germany, Spain, England...)

to Europeans: can you please try explain to me why your countries accept Muslims

this is not question to somebody called "Europeans". this is question for Angela Merkel and few stupids from Brusel - those are forming Europe and setting rules here.

And, as usual, you're probably wrong.

Yes, they want to drive down wages, but unfortunately, they don´t import millions of bankers, doctors and lawyers, businessmen and civil servants and politicians etc. If they did that they could cut taxes massively and that won´t do. The system is most of all interested in the system and its own self-preservation and growth.

    
"to Europeans: can you please try explain to me why your countries accept Muslims"

My brother used to go to a boxing club - he told me once that there was a guy that trained there that was reading, amongst other things, Marcel Proust. We thought it odd at the time, what with it being a boxing club. My brother was worried that before long he'd have the other lads reading Genet, James Baldwin and maybe even, God forbid, Oscar Wilde.

We were worried about where it all might end.

In the UK in the 50's and 60's immigrants were brought in from the (then) colonies to fulfill a labour shortage during halcyon years of full employment. Look at the mills of West Yorkshire. It is no coincidence that several of the 7/7 bombers were from this neck of the woods.

Whilst there is no labour shortage today, the effect of immigration is to reduce the price of labour > higher profit margin.

But TPTB can't have it all ways I'm afraid - they can only have it 99% of "all ways".

The other 1%, that eludes them, is Paris last Friday night.

Basically not all of them are bad.
Basically if they would have the means to navigate way to Murica, I'm sure your gov't will also give them asylum.
And, since the "western" population goes older and older, getting some fresh blood in may ensure a good retirement to some.

Another thing is that, in contact with real unrestricted information, some of those muslims have a good chance to wake up from their slumber. I find it a good (though risky) way to reduce the number of terrorists actually.

The problem, as always, stays in the numbers. If the number of immigrants is too big, then they will stay a community and not get "absorbed" by the western civilization. And that's a failure of all the good plans.
And now the numbers are too big. 

My guess is that they are not as fearful and ignorant as you are.

So we should make sure nobody draws cartoons of some raggedy old bearded guy, because someone else might take offense and start shooting.

You just endorsed a climate of fear.

The U.S., as a 'nation of immigrants' are and interesting study.  I've seen it hypothesized that individuals who have been able to generate the motivation to immigrate tend toward possessing other traits which can contribute to success in various endeavors.  And, when a population starts out rich in such traits, the effects can be observed statistically over some generations as 'regression to the mean' takes it's course.

I find this hypothesis to be at least interesting.  In looking around I sometimes feel that 'regression to the mean' has fully run it's course here.  Then I see things representing the mentality of my peers in other countries and change my mind back again

One thing that is notable is that Americans are being treated with fluoride, vaccinations, GMO foods, etc more than almost any population.  A suspicious mind (like mine) wonders if some of TPTB would like to assist the 'regression to the mean' principle (and milk the cow in the process since we've individually accumulated significant wealth during our time as a super-power and not everyone has blown their net worth on trinkets yet.)  I'd say that there is a danger of an 'overshoot', and in looking around must wonder if might be the case that the seeds of such an overshoot have already be sown.

No, they're sane enough to serve Obomba, their Master.

Accept because government is crazy:(

So your saying your agains by GOD. of course we all came from our parents vagina and dick so in that case we are created by vagina and dick ? LOL praise your mom and dad vagina and dick I'm sure 100% will answer your prayers !

Except rares cases, colour of the skin is related to religion. Islam has not evaluated since the VIIIth century, and that's it the problem.

good point, but is Americans to be blamed for the invasion why not go kill the people who you think responsible for the invasion instead of attacking the innocent, this does not effect Bush and his family, he still goes play golf.

This goes for Muslims, all Muslims cant be blamed for ISIS.  Just because terroist blame the one who taught and twisted their religion.  also people should stop mocking Muslims, christians and other religions.  I see hate is just causing more hate.

Something tells me you could fill an ocean with what you don't truly understand.

So what do you propose if people lie and all say they're Christian?   Or secular?  Make them write a test?

Ignorance.

To americans: can you please try explain to me why your country invaded middle east for no reason?

Yeah, it seems kind of likely. Happens too quickly and too much mass to be spontaneous. Also, it costs money.It isn´t like they take some dirt cheap flights and land a little later in Frankfurt.

There would of course be an organized push behind this movement.  Not if, but who and why is a question of merit.
