European Migrant Crisis Megathread

[Imperializt Russia]

PEGIDA are at best deluded for thinking they're relevant.

well they kind of are relevant when they have 16,000 facebook likes.

That's one five-thousandth of the German population and certainly includes many members outside Germany.
STOP THE PRESSES

Are you implying that a mere 16,000 Facebook likes makes a group/person relevant?

well I doubt you even have 16 so.

Yes, we individuals have fewer Facebook likes than an organisation.

STOP THE PRESSES

Iran is a Shi'ite theocracy.

Also kind of mostly our fault for doing stupid crap to the legitimately elected Iranian government in the 60s-70s because it looked like he might get into bed with the Soviets.

Because that worked swimmingly, didn't it?

[Mortuus Luciferus]

Iran has culture for one form of Islam
Saudi has it for the other
and they both have decent standards of living. so why cant they go there?????

Iran is Persian, most of the migrants are Arab so there's that tension, not to mention the schism between Sunni and Shia(can't remember which Iran is).

Saudi Arabia and the other gulf states won't take any of them in because "officially' they're afraid of terrorists sneaking in, the ones they often fund and support, ironically.

so we should take all the terrorists hahahah we should just invade the entire middle east

I personally think let them all kill each other instead of wasting blood and treasure far away from home and allow the war profiteers to starve in the poor house, and that anyone who wants to help legit refugees should have to work in the camps and interact with them daily.

Fun fact: The Middle East is not some culturally homogeneous blob.

Iran has culture for one form of Islam
Saudi has it for the other
and they both have decent standards of living. so why cant they go there?????

would you go live in russia or brazil? they have culture of one form of christianity.

Because past events have proven that works so very well.

Well given that people still haven't learned that invading Russia doesn't work out (Unless You Are The Mongols), I'm not surprised.

don't you love it when they say "they hate us because of our freedoms" and all that stupid tripe.

no mention of the installation of the Shah or the support to Israel which can bomb them with impunity.

[Mortuus Luciferus]

Oh yes, give all the radicals more reasons to hate us.

they can't hate us if they're dead.

[Haktiva]

they can't hate us if they're dead.

so how about you and any other volunteers go out and do it?

[The Wolven League]

Oui, but they are filthy Coptic heretics! We must purge the world of such unclean monsters and establish catholic presence there *nod*

Because that would imply that they hate Western nations for sane reasons rather than the neo-colonial passive aggressive "they're jealous of how much more civilised we are than them".

And then what do we do with their well-educated middle class who are understandbly not content sitting between peeing and shitting in some hole and sleeping in a hastily erected tent in Anatolia, and going back to a regime who most likely will behead or burn them, with no prospect of any sort of future?

[The Wolven League]

Oh yes, give all the radicals more reasons to hate us.

A shame that the extreme majority of Easterners have done nothing wrong.

Pretty sure some people these days consider "living while Muslim" to be a capital crime.

ideally, help them rebuild. if they can contribute to the host nation, why not let them? of course, if they're cheaper labor, the local workers won't be to happy about being undercut.

Yes, because going back to Kobane and rebuild right now is entirely safe, and a half-hearted invasion with a Vietnam/Iraq outcome is going to work.

Well to kill one criminal you have to kill two innocents.

Muh collateral damage.

Well to kill one criminal you have to kill two innocents.

That logic makes no sense.

I'm also loving the idea that just being of a certain religion makes you in some way criminal.

it will most likely never be safe, honestly. if they're gonna stay in their host country, they'd best adapt then and assimilate.

800,000 middle-eastern immigrant people is enough to make Latvia, Estonia and Finland a very sandy place.
