No one wants refugees but they're suffering and us as nations and peoples able to help must help them when they are in need.

Yay?


Well, not all of them. We do not want ever Syrian. The Sufis, Yazidis and Christians sure. They should be here already. Some Sunnis is ok, but only the really moderate ones. We do not want a single Salafi.


Oh, you think you get to choose? Nope. You'd have to receive all the tired, poor and huddled masses.

In general however, the migrant populace of Europe is reproducing twice as much as the natives.

Once again, I have no problem with refugees, on condition that those that are physically able must return to help rebuild their own country. Otherwise, there's no point.

Not all "evolution" is for the better. I would not call extreme social conservatism "evolution". So we have to make sure immigrants have reasonably moderate views. Most do. But the Salafis must be weeded out.


It doesn't matter what you would call it, and evolution isn't necessarily 'for the better', but that's because you think there's a goal.

Evolution is the survival of what is fittest... and if a culture is fitter to survive, then it will.

So basically, we're treating Muslims like we did with gay people and Jews.

Look, even if the extremely conservative factions do commit some reprehensible things, that doesn't mean we treat all of them like they're some evil boogeyman here to overthrow Europe.

Because, shockingly, they're also people.

Europe has far more integration projects than the US. Europe isn't failing it's immigrants. The immigrants are failing europe. Also, refugees are very different from your standard immigrant.
Beyond that, it's not immigrants in general, it's specifically muslim immigrants which lack behind. And this isn't just true for europe, but seems to hold true for every western country.

That is because the culture of these Muslim immigrants is not compatible with and, quite frankly, hostile to Western culture.

And let us not kid ourselves by calling these people refugees. They are economic migrants.

Sanctum, since I'm not going to even bother quoting that mess.

Maybe the reason why nations are starting to turn away from Israel is, shockingly, the fact that some of Israel's leaders are doing and saying some vile shit.

Also, nice job on calling the fleeing refugees or people "invaders" scum of the Earth.

Because, obviously, that's all what the ebil brown people want to do.

This persecution agenda is so boring.

'They' aren't trying with subtlety and treachery - you're imagining an agenda where there are just people.

I realise it's comforting to think there's a plan - god knows, the world is a scary enough place that even conspiracy theories actually foster kind of feeling of security. It would be awesome if SOMEONE was planning everything, wouldn't it?

But, no - it's just boring. There are people, and they are moving around, as they always have. No agenda. No invasion. You're not a sentinel standing on a hill spotting an oncoming storm.

For the record, I hold Christians and Muslims to the exact same standard. Ask Jochistan if you don't believe me, he's see it firsthand. I wish any religious person could prove their beliefs; obviously, none can, but that's not the fucking point. You can't prove your god exists, or even that Jesus was a real guy. We want you to prove brown people are going to ruin Europe.

I don't think anyone's yet argued against refugees per say. The arguement is the majority want to stay in Europe, which will not help their own country.

They as in all Muslims? It's really mostly Wahhabis or Wahhabi-influenced Sunnis. Which is a massive problem and a lot of people, but it's not like all Muslims are out to bring society down.


Exactly. There is middle ground. Not all or even most Muslims have evil intentions. But it is indisputable some Muslims do. Salafis want to destroy all other religions and turn Europe into a theocracy that kills LGBT people.

Most Muslims are not Salafis.

Not all Muslims are bad. But SOME Muslims ARE BAD. So we need to weed out the bad ones.

Which is why everyone seems to be adamant about referring to this as a migrant crisis rather than a refugee one. Because if we think of them as migrants then we don't feel an obligtion to help them.

Look how bad that argument is when you switch it around.

Also, being anti-racist is being anti-white now.

Well the first statement isn't very shocking, it's always going to be harder to integrate immigrants into societies comprised of single large ethnic majorities. But your second one doesn't seem correct, many Muslims have integrated into Western society and continue to do so.
