Horrendous? Say hello to the future of Europe. This is the kind of world the last two generations of politicians have created for you and your children. You should be glad. It's a utopia, you just fail to see it. Just listen to liberal left: multiculturalism is the most responsible population policy ever. To quote John Derbyshire:
The Diversity Theorem: Groups of people from anywhere in the world, mixed together in any numbers and proportions whatsoever, will eventually settle down as a harmonious society, appreciating—nay, celebrating!—their differences... which will of course soon disappear entirely.
You just have to be a bit patient. You see muslim terrorist attacks, I see well-meant, but somewhat amateurish attempts to integrate. The death of a couple of cartoonists, a couple of journalists, a couple of policemen, ... it is only a small price to pay for the grand multicultural project. Sacrifices need to be made.
Just be patient. In a couple of weeks, months, maybe years, Europe will be the glorious peaceful meltingpot that it strives to be. I'm a fan. Are you?
All I can say is that in Germany the Muslims and the Islam are no issue, not to those of us that have grown up with Muslims, Arabians and the like, I know a lot of young Muslims. And I remember those as peaceful and honest people.
However there is a lot of propaganda and agitation in the German media. But I am not afraid of radical Islamists, I am worried about the right wing in Germany because they are growing and getting more support by the middle class. In Dressden for example a big city located in Saxon 10 000 people have been demonstrating against immigration it is a goup with a very high xenophobic attitude, this PEGIDA movement started their demonstrations before the attacks in France by the way.
However what people don't really mention here is that since the 1990 more than 200 people have been killed by Neo-Nazis, they are in my opinion a much bigger threat to the German society not to mention because they are already in the politics with their parties, like NPD and AfD. Nonetheless from 2001 to 2011 a group of 3 Nazis have been killing 9 people and 1 police officer, yet the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution failed to identify the offenders for 10 years. It was either sheer incompetence, or the killer-group had supporters. I don't know what is worse.
For several years the "
I don't have issues with immigrants/foreigners but (insert your racist comment here)" opinion has been steadily growing in Germany. 20% of the German population has a xenophobic attitude, more than 40% of the population in Saxon. 10 000 demonstrated against 0,4% of the population. 0,4% of the population in Saxon are Muslims, 2,4% of the population in Germany are Muslims. Yet more then 200 people have been killed in the last 20 years by Nazis. I am the only one who's seeing a problem here?
And people are worried about the Islam? Again, I can ONLY talk for Germany here, and I am born in Germany and I have grown up here but my parents are from Serbia. Maybe I have a different opinion, no clue. But I just find it very sad that to see this agitation agains the Islam as whole like Germany will turn in to Syria or some dictatorship tomorrow when I fear the real danger is coming from a different direction.
What I remember though from my youth:
I have never ever seen even ONE muslim terrorist in real life. Never any armed Islamist with the intention to overthrow this government.
What I have seen though over the years, radical nazis going on a rampage and demonstrating in this town and in other towns against immigrants. I can remember a soccer game here in my town where a group of Nazis was shouting racistic garbage at one of the players with African heritage playing for the enemy team.
At leas with Germany, I will say this again. The Islam is the last of our problems.
And this doesn't mean I never had issues with certain people. I was once attacked by a muslim girl in school. But not because of religion, it was because she came from Kosovo and I was a Serb. A decade later we are greating each other and she has a child, a normal job and living a peacefull live.
I am not talking about you in particiular Alec, but many people here have a wrong picture about the Islam. The Islam, in my opinion, is not a good form or government. But in that sense it is not different to Judaism or Christianity, as we have seen in the past. Religion in general simply doesnt make good governments.
