Not all Muslims are bad of course. But Islam is in general a very socially conservative religion. And these predominately Islamic cultures in North Africa and the Middle East are very conservative compared to other Islamic cultures. To deny a cultural shock exists when very conservative cultures encounter very liberal Europe is ridiculous.


The shock exists mainly in the heads of the Europeans living here, who often have issues with the fact that people from cultures and background they don't know are coming into their cocoon of isolation and perceived safety.

No, that would be a terrible idea; What's the obsession with sending criminals back anyway? Whatever happened to just friggin' punishing them in court of law and putting them in jail? Why do people honestly think it's a good idea to repatriate rapists and murderers and releasing them into a population that is already suffering under war and famine?

Last time I heard about the situation of European (or at least German and Austrian) jails, they were more than full. So if you want to jail even more people (especially those who don't even live in the countries that imprison them), we have to start a artificial prison island.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

It was a cartoon mocking the death of a toddler, tying his story to that of the sexual harassment case in Cologne. As in, implying it is a good thing he died, for he might have become a sexual predator in later life. And why would he become that? Because he's an Arab, of course.

There's nothing satirical about that. Nothing critical, nothing open-minded, nothing that "mocks religion". It's the cartoon equivalent of saying "a Syrian kid died, LOL".

Fair point. Arab ≠ Islam after all.

Nope it wasn't.

Yes it is (and I'll explain why one is untrue and the other is true in good course).
As in, implying it is a good thing he died, for he might have become a sexual predator in later life. And why would he become that? Because he's an Arab, of course.
No it isn't.

The entire cartoon is pointing towards the western media and how it has flip flopped it's way through the Syrian refugee crisis. One moment the press uses a dead Syrian boy to reflect the suffering of the refugees, the next it uses images of rampaging raping Syrians. Hebdo is satirising both these stereotypes used by the media of the refugees.

No, that would be a terrible idea; What's the obsession with sending criminals back anyway? Whatever happened to just friggin' punishing them in court of law and putting them in jail? Why do people honestly think it's a good idea to repatriate rapists and murderers and releasing them into a population that is already suffering under war and famine?


Because their original home societies know how to whip (oftentimes literally) that kind of scum into behaving. Back home, the majority of them wouldn't even think of behaving like they do here, i.e., as a bunch of savage degenerate apes, because the local law and custom tends to dispense swift and very harsh justice for murderers and rapists, be it at the hands of police or government troops, or a mob of the victim's male relatives.

Here in Western Europe, where the authorities pussyfoot around them, granting them the race card to play, and the police are impotent whimps accustomed to generally dealing only with a downtrodden and intimidated populace of unarmed emasculated pacifists, and the worst penalty that sex offenders and murderers can get is a stay in prison comparable to a three-star hotel, these violently antisocial elements have literally nothing to fear. Having grown up in a society that imposes strict rules on everyday life and conduct and has a rather low tolerance for failure to abide them, they perceive the Western lack of such personal restrictions as absolute all-permissiveness, and enjoy it to the fullest extent.

A person accustomed to penalties like summary executions, stoning, necklacing, being beaten to a pulp with rubber sticks and the other staples of Third World justice will not regard being imprisoned in conditions comparable to a luxury hotel as much of a punishment, but more of a reward.

Which is why it is only fitting and proper that migrants convicted of crimes be booted back to whatever shithole they crawled out of, with a stern warning not to return. If they cannot behave like civilized people, they obviously have no place in civilized countries, and considering the effort they put into escaping their war-torn cesspools of homelands, being sent back would also be quite a serious punishment for them in itself.

Not only that, but deporting immigrant criminals would also send a message to the rest that this sort of behaviour will not be tolerated in their destination countries. Deporting them along with their families (provided they have any) would be preferable - being strongly oriented towards family and community, these migrants would be much more motivated to behave if they knew any fuck-up of theirs would also destroy the dreams of easy life for the rest of their relatives, consequently facing pressure to behave from their kin.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

A fool sees religion as the truth. A smart man sees religion as a lie. A ruler sees religion as a useful tool.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation.

And these predominately Islamic cultures in North Africa and the Middle East are very conservative compared to other Islamic cultures. To deny a cultural shock exists when very conservative cultures encounter very liberal Europe is ridiculous.


The shock exists mainly in the heads of the Europeans living here, who often have issues with the fact that people from cultures and background they don't know are coming into their cocoon of isolation and perceived safety.


The cultural shock works both ways. But that article proves it is not just in the heads of Europeans. And yes, I am sure many Europeans do not want extreme social conservatism. There is a lot of bigotry, exaggeration and hyberbole. But there are legitimate concerns about how the societies providing these immigrants view things like seperation of church and state, women's rights and marital rape for example.

Now that is not to say these issues cannot be overcome. Education might help. But denying these issues or blaming soley Europeans is not going to make things better.

So in other words, the Syria hysteria is massively overblown.

It would appear so. It's mostly a north-african phenomena. The points made by the anti-immigration side still have some merit, but they need to refocus on the appropriate people.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

It does appear so. The German rape riot thing was not Syrians. Not surprising neccesarily as most fleeing Syria tend to come from the more developed western cities. Also the culture of North Africa and Syria are not the same, even if they have some things in common.

So the focus is off, but something has to be done about the social attitudes held by some mainly North African immigrants. There should be mandatory classes for all immigrants, and a zero tolerance for those who break the law. Plus better screening.

Again denying there is are some immigration problems is crazy. But these problems can be addressed without banning immigration. There is middle ground here. Sadly that is being ignored.

Until people are arrested, we don't really know for certain. What we do know is from witnesses and photosis that there were people of either African or middle eastern ancestry people present in Cologne.

Although the modus operandi sounds rather North African.
