25% of Germany now are migrants/children of migrants

Holy fuck. Out of 83.02 million, 21 million are migrants or are the children of migrants. That's 25.3%.

That WW2 guilt is going a long way.

I'm torn to be honest. I think wealthier nations have an obligation to do what they can to provide refugees safety and security. However, I lived in Stuttgart, Germany for several years and it really was an eye-opening experience. First of all, larger German cities are nearly indistinguishable from Istanbul, especially near train stations. You might see a couple of Germans, but it's mainly MENA and south Asian men.

Secondly, I witnessed several antigay attacks (mainly verbal, a few physical), and someone who appeared to be MENA or south Asian was ALWAYS the agressor.

I really do think Germany and the Scandinavian countries are going to have a difficult few decades as a result of their good intentions.

Even on the EU level, it's unfortunate that Germany has so much sway in pressuring the rest of the EU to allow in migrants into Italy, Malta, etc. that guilt-burdened German citizens so eagerly scoop up from the Mediterranean.

However, from a selfish perspective, I say to the EU: let the all in. That just means other countries won't have to.

The introduction of refugees from the MIddle East and Africa onto the shores of Greece, Italy, Spain, France, and eventually Germany was the result of a despicable, callous, strategy Putin employed to fuel extremist views and racist chaos in Europe. I have nothing but compassion for the refugees. I'm glad they are finding homes.

Putin is counting on racist, Extremist leaders to spread hate and weaken these countries. His invisible hand in the Middle East has been a barrier to peace, and a major force through Iran and Syria in introducing chaos and destruction. he and Assad Ertogan and Netanyahu ought to be executed for War Crimes.

His collaborators like Ertogan, and MBS and Assad, and corrupt greedy bastards like Netanyahu and Trump are all part of his grand strategy. He is the Anti Christ. I hope Merkel and Macron and others continue to be compassionate and to push back against Putin.

Many have virulently homophobic beliefs that go way beyond disdain, and these beliefs are rooted both culturally and in religion. It’s why many of the offsprings of these immigrant groups carry over some if not all of the homophobia and misogyny. I believe some Scandinavian countries are requiring asylum seeking immigrants to participate in cultural classes that are based upon Scandinavian social values. They even pay them to take these classes. However, how much of the didactic teachings are taken to heart remain to be seen.

The main problem is with religion, specifically when it augments backwards thinking cultures. If people want to denounce the worst aspects of those cultures when they immigrate, then fine. But the problem is that many refuse to do that, citing personal freedom in the free society to which they had fled. The question becomes how much of illiberal and unenlightened beliefs/ behavior can/ should open, liberal societies tolerate?

I was really hoping the EU would becoming a lovely walled garden, so wealthy that it could deindustrialize and depopulate over time and restore some of the lost forests and other biotopes that used to cover Europe. Kind of a lovely wealthy retirement in peace and safety for the entire EU.

Since they chose another direction, for the sake of other countries, I hope they go on a maximalist path towards letting in absolutely everyone in who wants in. I wouldn't really care.

I want both the practical effect of this, as there are would be fewer migrants looking for places to live, and the signaling effect of the consequences: the resulting difficulties will show countries like Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea what happens when they fall for the West's sanctimonious urgings to imitate its migration policies.

Taking Hard Line, Greece Turns Back Migrants by Abandoning Them at Sea

Many Greeks have grown frustrated as tens of thousands of asylum seekers languished on Greek islands. Now, evidence shows, a new conservative government has a new method of keeping them out.

By Patrick Kingsley and Karam Shoumali

Aug. 14, 2020

RHODES, Greece — The Greek government has secretly expelled more than 1,000 refugees from Europe’s borders in recent months, sailing many of them to the edge of Greek territorial waters and then abandoning them in inflatable and sometimes overburdened life rafts.

Since March, at least 1,072 asylum seekers have been dropped at sea by Greek officials in at least 31 separate expulsions, according to an analysis of evidence by The New York Times from three independent watchdogs, two academic researchers and the Turkish Coast Guard. The Times interviewed survivors from five of those episodes and reviewed photographic or video evidence from all 31.

“It was very inhumane,” said Najma al-Khatib, a 50-year-old Syrian teacher, who says masked Greek officials took her and 22 others, including two babies, under cover of darkness from a detention center on the island of Rhodes on July 26 and abandoned them in a rudderless, motorless life raft before they were rescued by the Turkish Coast Guard.

“I left Syria for fear of bombing — but when this happened, I wished I’d died under a bomb,” she told The Times.

Illegal under international law, the expulsions are the most direct and sustained attempt by a European country to block maritime migration using its own forces since the height of the migration crisis in 2015, when Greece was the main thoroughfare for migrants and refugees seeking to enter Europe.

The Greek government denied any illegality.

“Greek authorities do not engage in clandestine activities,’’ said a government spokesman, Stelios Petsas. “Greece has a proven track record when it comes to observing international law, conventions and protocols. This includes the treatment of refugees and migrants.”

Since 2015, European countries like Greece and Italy have mainly relied on proxies, like the Turkish and Libyan governments, to head off maritime migration. What is different now is that the Greek government is increasingly taking matters into its own hands, watchdog groups and researchers say.

​For example, migrants have been forced onto sometimes leaky life rafts and left to drift at the border between Turkish and Greek waters, while others have been left to drift in their own boats after Greek officials disabled their engines.

“These pushbacks are totally illegal in all their aspects, in international law and in European law,” said Prof. François Crépeau, an expert on international law and a former United Nations special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants.

“It is a human rights and humanitarian disaster,” Professor Crépeau added.

Greeks were once far more understanding of the plight of migrants. But many have grown frustrated and hostile after a half-decade in which other European countries offered Greece only modest assistance as tens of thousands of asylum seekers languished in squalid camps on overburdened Greek islands.

Since the election last year of a new conservative government under Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Greece has taken a far harder line against the migrants — often refugees from the war in Syria — who push off Turkish shores for Europe.

The harsher approach comes as tensions have mounted with Turkey, itself burdened with 3.6 million refugees from the Syrian war, far more than any other nation.

Greece believes that Turkey has tried to weaponize the migrants to increase pressure on Europe for aid and assistance in the Syrian War. But it has also added pressure on Greece at a time when the two nations and others spar over contested gas fields in the eastern Mediterranean.

...

For several days in late February and early March, the Turkish authorities openly bused thousands of migrants to the Greek land border in a bid to set off a confrontation, leading to the shooting of at least one Syrian refugee and the immediate extrajudicial expulsions of hundreds of migrants who made it to Greek territory.

For years, Greek officials have been accused of intercepting and expelling migrants, on a sporadic and infrequent basis, usually before the migrants manage to land their boats on Greek soil.

But experts say Greece’s behavior during the pandemic has been far more systematic and coordinated. Hundreds of migrants have been denied the right to seek asylum even after they have landed on Greek soil, and they’ve been forbidden to appeal their expulsion through the legal system.

“They’ve seized the moment,” Professor Crépeau said of the Greeks. “The coronavirus has provided a window of opportunity to close national borders to whoever they’ve wanted.”

Emboldened by the lack of sustained criticism from the European Union, where the migration issue has roiled politics, Greece has hardened its approach in the eastern Mediterranean in recent months.

Migrants landing on the Greek islands from Turkey have frequently been forced onto sometimes leaky, inflatable life rafts, dropped at the boundary between Turkish and Greek waters, and left to drift until being spotted and rescued by the Turkish Coast Guard.

“This practice is totally unprecedented in Greece,” said Niamh Keady-Tabbal, a doctoral researcher at the Irish Center for Human Rights, and one of the first to document the phenomenon.

“Greek authorities are now weaponizing rescue equipment to illegally expel asylum seekers in a new, violent and highly visible pattern of pushbacks spanning several Aegean Islands,” Ms. Keady-Tabbal said.

Ms. al-Khatib, who recounted her ordeal for The Times, said she entered Turkey last November with her two sons, 14 and 12, fleeing the advance of the Syrian Army. Her husband, who had entered several weeks earlier, soon died of cancer, Ms. al-Khatib said.

With few prospects in Turkey, the family tried to reach Greece by boat three times this summer, failing once in May because their smuggler did not show up, and a second time in June after being intercepted in Greek waters and towed back to the Turkish sea border, she said.

On their third attempt, on July 23 at around 7 a.m., they landed on the Greek island of Rhodes, Ms. al-Khatib said, an account corroborated by four other passengers interviewed by The Times. They were detained by Greek police officers and taken to a small makeshift detention facility after handing over their identification documents.

Using footage filmed at this site by two passengers, a Times reporter was able to identify the facility’s location beside the island’s main ferry port and visit the camp.

A Coast Guard officer and an official at the island’s mayoralty both said the site falls under the jurisdiction of the Port Police, an arm of the Hellenic Coast Guard.

A Palestinian refugee, living in a disused slaughterhouse beside the camp, confirmed that Ms. al-Khatib had been there, recounting how he had spoken to her through the camp’s fence and bought her tablets to treat her hypertension, which Greek officials had refused to supply her.

On the evening of July 26, Ms. al-Khatib and the other detainees said that police officers had loaded them onto a bus, telling them they were being taken to a camp on another island, and then to Athens.

Instead, masked Greek officials transferred them to two vessels that ferried them out to sea before dropping them on rafts at the Turkish maritime border, she and other survivors said.

Amid choppy waves, the group, which included two babies, was forced to drain the raft using their hands as water slopped over the side, they said.

The group was rescued at 4:30 a.m. by the Turkish Coast Guard, according to a report by the Coast Guard that included a photograph of Ms. al-Khatib as she left the life raft.

by Anonymousreply 41August 25, 2020 3:37 PM

...

Ms. al-Khatib tried to reach Greece for a fourth time, on Aug. 6, but said her boat was stopped off the island of Lesbos by Greek officials, who removed its fuel and towed it back to Turkish waters.

Some groups of migrants have been transferred to the life rafts even before landing on Greek soil.

On May 13, Amjad Naim, a 24-year-old Palestinian law student, was among a group of 30 migrants intercepted by Greek officials as they approached the shores of Samos, a Greek island close to Turkey.

The migrants were quickly transferred to two small life rafts that began to deflate under the weight of so many people, Mr. Naim said. Transferred to two other rafts, they were then towed back toward Turkey.

Videos captured by Mr. Naim on his phone show the two rafts being tugged across the sea by a large white vessel. Footage subsequently published by the Turkish Coast Guard shows the same two rafts being rescued by Turkish officials later in the day.

Migrants have also been left to drift in the boats they arrived on, after Greek officials disabled their engines, survivors and researchers say. And on at least two occasions, migrants have been abandoned on Ciplak, an uninhabited island within Turkish waters, instead of being placed on life rafts.

“Eventually the Turkish Coast Guard came to fetch us,” said one Palestinian survivor who was among a group abandoned on Ciplak in early July, and who sent videos of their time on the island. A report from the Turkish Coast Guard corroborated his account.

In parallel, several rights organizations, including Human Rights Watch, have documented how the Greek authorities have rounded up migrants living legally in Greece and secretly expelled them without legal recourse across the Evros River, which divides mainland Greece from Turkey.

Feras Fattouh, a 30-year-old Syrian X-ray technician, said he was arrested by the Greek police on July 24 in Igoumenitsa, a port in western Greece. Mr. Fattouh had been living legally in Greece since November 2019 with his wife and son, and showed The Times documents to prove it.

But after being detained by the police in Igoumenitsa, Mr. Fattouh said, he was robbed and driven about 400 miles east to the Turkish border, before being secretly put on a dinghy with 18 others and sent across the river to Turkey. His wife and son remain in Greece.

“Syrians are suffering in Turkey,” Mr. Fattouh said. “We’re suffering in Greece. Where are we supposed to go?”

Ylva Johansson, who oversees migration policy at the European Commission, the civil service for the European Union, said she was concerned by the accusations but had no power to investigate them.

“We cannot protect our European border by violating European values and by breaching people’s rights,” Ms. Johansson said in an email. “Border control can and must go hand in hand with respect for fundamental rights.”

Patrick Kingsley reported from Rhodes, Greece, and Karam Shoumali from Berlin.

When I was in Germany, I took introductory language courses and they really illustrated the challenge Germany is facing:

The immigrants from other EU countries, the Balkans, the Americas, Africans (with a Christian background) and east Asians were generally well-educated and shared similar interests. They took notes, yearned to understand the nuances of German, and eagerly sought to participate in activities outside of class.

The Middle Easterners, meanwhile, had the worst fucking attitudes. They barely paid attention, and wanted to argue whenever the GERMAN instructor tried to teach them GERMAN. To make matters worse, about half of them were illiterate; so while they could sometimes pick up the language through conversations, they would often fail their proficiency exams (which wasn't a big deal because they were still allowed to advance). What made their behavior particularly frustrating is that they often didn't participate in social activities. The Turks would, and a Christian Iranian did, but the Middle Easterners didn't even try to assimilate on any level.

Those leaving in the last 30 years are leaving failed, overcrowded societies where the extent of daily struggle depends on family/clan/sect and bribes. They are not interested in Western values, as evidenced by the terror, attacks and on-going open conflict with the societies in which they live.

His only flaw was that he was sooooo creepy when it came to women. During breaks from a class we were taking he would go to the cafeteria to stare at a woman he found attractive. Yet he never seemed to date or make any attempt to talk to women.

Syrians from Damascus tend to be well educated and very progressive in their attitudes, especially if they're Christian. Unfortunately, I met a lot who were just straight up assholes (all male). Although to be fair, a lot of the refugees who arrived in 2015-2016 lied about being from Syria.

Germany needs immigrants to stay competitive: economist

Economist Herbert Brücker says Germany depends on immigrants. By 2060, the country will need these migrants to stay competitive — and he believes they will contribute to a more diverse and successful society. DW: According to your estimates, the German economy will need 400,000 immigrants each year to remain competitive. Why is that? Herbert Brücker: Since the 1970s, Germany's birth rate has declined quite dramatically. At the same time, average life expectancy has been going up. Without immigration, the potential number of workers in Germany would decline by 40% by 2060. With net immigration of about 400,000 people each year, we can keep this figure just about stable. But by 2060, many more people will have entered retirement — and they'll have to be financed by same the number of workers as today . . .

The international regime re migration is a product of WW2, created by the US and Europe.

China’s rise will change everything. They’re laser-focused on national interest and not particularly vulnerable to, or concerned with, the opinion of Western media, academia, etc. with regard to migration and asylum. For example, there are African migrants in China. Overnight, they can be sent home if they’re a problem or simply no longer wanted.

China will create the new paradigm largely by example and it’ll transform international norms among nations apart from the US and EU. China is slowly populating UN bureaucracies with its own experts. Step by step...

But I do hope the EU opens its borders as much as possible. It’s a perfect pressure valve for Africa, the Middle East, Anne South Asia. More Mediterranean boat rescues please, guilt-ridden Germans!

In that regard, Griffith said, the attacks may be an extension of animosity toward white people in general, who drive gentrification in Brooklyn.

Do you really believe that young angry POC men struggling in poverty with knives and guns will care about the finer points of your genetic lineage? All they will see is skin color that is much lighter than theirs is. Colorism is rampant in the black community. They racialize each other, with dark-skinned blacks holding light-skinned blacks in contempt for their perceived whiteness. If light-skinned black people can't catch a break from their community, what makes you think that a Jew will? Europeans are Jewish allies. Who else bank rolls Israel as much as the US does?

That QMV that pushed that resettlement programme down the EU's throat was a dismal failure. Several countries ignored it and refused to take in any, less than half were actually resettled, and some of those were forced to go to countries they didn't want to go to. Today, Brussels admits it's toothless and dead in the water politically. In September, they plan to take up the migration issue again and see if they can figure out a way to bring in more but in a way their electorates won't notice so much - you know, having asylum and immigration offices offshore in places like Syria and Libya so they can process them there, or bribing poorer EU countries to take them in.

But they know they can't repeat what Merkel tried in 2015. It gave the far right too much traction.

As for Japan: hell you don't need to look that far. The Nordic countries are the poster illustration of the success of small and highly homogeneous cultures.

Now, of course, Sweden stands as the poster illustration for Be Careful What You Wish for, Denmark is closing its doors in every way possible without violating EU treaty conditions, Norway's Progress Party has gained huge traction, and so has the Finn Party in Finland.

They don't want them. The whole Multiculturalism is the Alpha and Omega of All Societies Anywhere In the Known Universe myth is not only being sold by the liberal left, but by the global corporatists who know that fractured societies are easier to exploit, and immigrant economies work against organised labour.

R180 “oh pls oracle defacto tell us what’s really going on“ ew this is so cringe. Western democracy is not at threat (at least not in the way described here, from migrants). What’s mainly at play in this thread is all the complainers are dissatisfied with their lives and are projecting the responsibility away from themselves onto an easy target. This is compounded by a fear of anything out of the ordinary (“oh no that’s too spicy for me”), intellectual insecurity (“coastal elites”), propaganda (online and mainstream) and a total lack of hobbies or jobs to keep themselves busy. Do you people know any Muslims? Like, in real life? Have you ever had a conversation with a Muslim person? How uninspiring you all are.

R185 the point is that western democracy is at threat. If you cannot control who is allowed to live in your country, is your national government still controlling your country, or is the EU/UN now the de facto government of your country? If citizens keep on saying over and over that they want less migration, and instead they get more, are they really citizens or are they subjects, forced to pay for migrants that they never wanted in the first place and called “racist” for the dubious privilege?

R183, nobody wants the migrants. The Arab countries mostly don’t get along. They just unite against Israel. They could be helping Palestinians but don’t. Plus, the migrants want to go to a country where there’s money. Sure Saudi Arabia has money, but they aren’t interested in them.

R186 you're ridiculous. I don't know if you know how a democracy functions but citizens elect representatives that make decisions on many subjects with their mandate. If citizens feel that mandate is not bing respected they vote them out. This also includes EU representation and lobbying. Therefore democracy is functioning in this instance and if the citizens are that against it they can vote in somebody else. Democracy therefore comes under threat mainly where voter suppression occurs. Or gerrymandering. Hmm I wonder which politicians engage in that sort of behaviour. And I wonder how they feel about migrants.

Or to put your dumb rationale in more obvious terms as to why it's dumb - "I don't want to pay tax - am I a subject or a citizen - WESTERN DEMOCRACY IS @ THREAT!!!"

Out of interest - do you personally know any muslim people (I notice that went unanswered)? As a friend I mean. If not (and I presume not) go out and meet some people. Log off bb - you'll be happier for it.

R191 I think the issue in America is that the American people haven't had enough of a chance to vote on this issue. The only presidential election in my lifetime where immigration was a major issue was 2016, and the side advocating for less immigration won that one. Aside from that? The Democrats and the Republicans have both been too pro-immigration: the Democrats so they can import more voters and the Republicans so their donors can import more cheap labor. Even once Trump was in office, the Republican congress wouldn't pass anything to address his promise of less immigration. BTW -- the documents that were recently leaked from the RNC said that Obama-to-Trump voters were upset that Trump basically passed a standard Republican platform and not the immigration restriction platform that he ran on. So if voters were given a serious choice of politicians who actually intended to follow through and not just stave off a primary challenge, we would absolutely have a government that would respect the wishes of the people and put more immigration restrictions in place. Unfortunately, the American people aren't being given the chance to vote on the issues they want to vote on. If were just a straight up-or-down "more immigration or less" vote, I'm confident that less would win.

In Europe, the issue is a bit more complex. The EU has usurped far more power than it was ever intended to have. As R86 shows, well-meaning politicians who are fully within their right to do what their country elected them to do are now being prosecuted for that, which is absolutely absurd. If a country cannot control its own borders, it's not a democracy under threat, it's a democracy that has [italic]ceased to function[/italic]. So if voters want less immigration, and elect politicians who run on that, and then those politicians are prosecuted for doing what they were elected to do in restricting immigration, your claim that there is no democratic mandate to restrict immigration is not really accurate.

In Germany, Merkel's center-right CDU/CSU lost 65 seats in the last election, and the center-left SPD lost 40 seats. Those two parties stayed in a Grand Coalition, which was unprecedented. Voters expressed huge displeasure with both Merkel and her main opposition, and she still managed to cling to power. If Merkel's party can get 30% of the popular vote and still cling to power after 15 years, voters are increasingly having to choose more extremist options in Germany just to have their voices heard.

R204 as a non-religious gay person, which religion do you think will damage me on a personal level living in any western country (let's use the US as an example). Ok so a Muslim person might say something to me on the street, make a rude comment to me (has not happened yet). A christian person might do the same (has happened). This interpersonal low level abuse is random and unorganized.

Next let's look at organized negative things that can affect me that are controlled by religion. I don't know of any laws in the US that are set to Muslim beliefs or ideals or due to any particular tenets of Islam. I wonder now, even in a democracy supposedly with a separation of church and state, are there any laws established under pressure or due to christianity that will negatively affect me or my family.

Do we need to list them?

All you people on here moaning about the supposed 'threat to democracy' or 'muslim hatred of gays' are so deluded. There will never (ever) be a law established in the US that will damage you that will be set out because of Muslim doctrine.

An excellent book on this subject is "Slavery, Terrorism and Islam" by Dr. Peter Hammond. He summarizes what happens as Muslim demographics grow:

Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.

Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges. When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well.. Here's how it works:

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:

United States -- Muslim 0..6% Australia -- Muslim 1.5% Canada -- Muslim 1.9% China -- Muslim 1.8% Italy -- Muslim 1.5% Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:

Denmark -- Muslim 2% Germany -- Muslim 3.7% United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7% Spain -- Muslim 4% Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

Offsite Link
by Anonymousreply 216August 27, 2020 2:56 AM

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:

France -- Muslim 8% Philippines -- 5% Sweden -- Muslim 5% Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3% The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5% Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris , we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:

Guyana -- Muslim 10% India -- Muslim 13.4% Israel -- Muslim 16% Kenya -- Muslim 10% Russia -- Muslim 15%

R212 false. Same thing again. Occasional interpersonal remarks will never affect you in the same way that centuries worth of leftover Christian anti-gay / anti-women legislation and cultural discrimination will. Never.

But since you mentioned Germany, let’s do a quick calculation (just for fun) of the amount of gay men murdered in the last century by 1) Muslims, and 2) Christians. Only qualification is that they have to have been murdered for being gay. O.....K.......go!

by Anonymousreply 218August 27, 2020 2:58 AM

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in: Bosnia -- Muslim 40% Chad -- Muslim 53.1% Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:

Albania -- Muslim 70% Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4% Qatar -- Muslim 77.5% Sudan -- Muslim 70%

by Anonymousreply 219August 27, 2020 2:58 AM

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:

Bangladesh -- Muslim 83% Egypt -- Muslim 90% Gaza -- Muslim 98.7% Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1% Iran -- Muslim 98% Iraq -- Muslim 97% Jordan -- Muslim 92% Morocco -- Muslim 98.7% Pakistan -- Muslim 97% Palestine -- Muslim 99% Syria -- Muslim 90% Tajikistan -- Muslim 90% Turkey -- Muslim 99.8% United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of peace. Here there's supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:

Afghanistan -- Muslim 100% Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100% Somalia -- Muslim 100% Yemen -- Muslim 100%

by Anonymousreply 220August 27, 2020 2:59 AM

Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

I encourage you to apply some intellectual rigor as well. Think about tragedies that have happened in your life like the ethnic cleansing in Rwanda and Bosnia. Think about the Uyghurs in China being sent to camp to be re-educated/indoctrinated. Such situations were unknown in Western Europe. But they seem to be really common in countries with large ethnic/religious minorities. I just tend to think that if it were possible to have a successful multicultural democracy, we'd already have an example of one and we wouldn't be trying to make it work now for the first time in human history.

The AfD in Germany was no one and nothing, with about 7% support, prior to 2015. Merkel's politically suicidal migrant experiment, which eventually got the AfD more than 80 seats in the Bundestag.

These countries know that if they open the doors to the extent the EU and the UN and the far left want them to, their successful cultures, which they enjoy and wish to maintain, will begin to shred and they will be left, like Britain, with a nightmare of identity politics, warring sections of the population, screams to stop singing anthems, take down flags, take down statues, change the words to Christmas carols sung by schoolchildren, segregated communities blossoming, bitter resentment amongst the native populations, rises in crime, and the necessity of enduring endless accusations of racism, bigotry, colonialism (Denmark also had a role in the slave trade; an envoy once approached the Danish government talking about "reparations" and was swiftly shown the door), imperialism, white fragility . . .

Even though the discussion here has been far from perfect, it's the first time in 5 years I've ever seen the refugee situation in Germany discussed from multiple angles (online at least). I lived in Germany for several years, until earlier this year. While the stories of no-go zones and rape gangs parading around German villages are false, so are the stories of perfect refugees who give so much more than they take in return.

A lot of migrants and refugees just want a better life. They shopped around for the best deal and Germany provides it. Jobs, social welfare, and an overwhelming desire to atone for past sins...the poorest person in Germany probably lives better than the average person in the countries many refugees and migrants come from. And as soon as Angela Merkel said, "Wir schaffen das" (we can do this), they felt like they had an open invitation.

Umfortunately, people with good intentions insist on downplaying the negative aspects of the past 5 years. So, so, so, many young, aimless men who only want to hang out and do drugs, drink, and harass women. Anti-gay and anti-Semitic attacks are up significantly, as well as robberies and assaults. It all seems like a high cost to pay to a casual observer. However, the sad reality is that Germany will need a constant source of cheap labor for years to come. Make no mistake: While Germany has some of the best labor laws in the world, modern day slavery still exists there, and migrants and refugees are often the victims. They are also exploited by employers in an attempt to keep wages stagnant.

Ultimately, Germany has done a noble thing in taking in so many people with the best of intentions. However, I just witnessed too many times when refugees and migrants brought the same uncivilized bullshit they left to Germany. And many of them are not even grateful. They feel bad about having to beg for crumbs (because really, that's all they get compared to the average German), so they lash out like little children.

All I can say is that I wish Germany the best of luck.

80% of the migrants arriving on those rubber dinghies are able-bodied young men. The liberal papers always print a few heart-wrenching photos of pregnant women and kids, who are in the vast minority of the migrants arriving. And, most off them may look poor, but they are, in fact, the better-off amongst their populations who can get thousands of dollars together to pay the exorbitant fees of the people traffickers.

Poster upthread: "migrants" do not make up 20% of the population of the UK. The foreign-born population is rising rapidly, it is true, but at this point in time, Britain is still about 79% white, the Afro-Caribbean population is still about 4%, and the "Asian" (i.e., Muslim) population about 11%.

Net migration in the UK reached a record high this year, and non-European migration in also hit a record high.

The UK government is coming in for massive criticism for its perceived helplessness and/or unwillingness to get tough enough to stem the demographic monsoon that will, inevitably, as time goes on, reduce what used to be recognised as the hallmarks of its national culture, to, as Bruce Bawer, Douglas Murray, and others warned long ago, artefacts in a museum.

Modernity, like climate change, benefits some and destroys others. These shifts tend to have what is called a "Robin Hood" effect: giving to some, and taking from others.

Many countries in Europe are realising too late that the impact of these demographic shifts are not only entirely benign, in some cases they are lethal to local cultures.

Britain is the poster illustration of the latter eventuality.

Say what you like about Orban in Hungary, but what's keeping him in power is the local population's deep desire NOT to turn into Sweden, Britain, Germany, and France.

(Western) Europeans deserve it because they've been so sanctimonious about it, urging other countries they have no business urging (e.g., Japan, S. Korea) to do the same. They use every argument they can think of, because subconsciously they want other rich countries to suffer as they're suffering:

"demographic time bomb",

"you were refugees once, too",

"obligations to the global needy",

"a multicultural future is inevitable for every country", etc.

You know this is just the cycle of history. Over the ages, ever since men existed, migration patterns, because of want of food, or war, or pandemics, weather, etc. local catastrophic events, people have migrated, assimilated and eventually replaced on version of civilization with another. Where are the Minoans? The Etruscans? Vanished.

The peoples who inhabit certain geography today are nothing like the people who inhabited that same terrain a thousand years ago...or more. Celts, Angles, Saxons Normans, Norseman, Romans, Greeks, Macedonians, Turks, Persians, etc., etc., etc. Vast advanced civilizations inhabited African. Egyptians, Phoenicians, etc. The tides of history are against those who resist.

Having said that. It is a well known fact that Russia always had an interest in destabilizing the Middle East amidst the Cold War. More than any single American, no one was a bigger thorn in their side than Jimmy Carter who took them on mano a mano. He humiliated them in Afghanistan, boycotted the Olympics, and the Camp David Accords were a real blow.

Later, Chernobyl ended Gorbachov's "Glastnost" and his thawing relationship with the USA. Yeltsin was someone Clinton could work with, (alcoholic and not too bright, but popular) And Putin, former KGB, former deputy mayor of Moscow in charge of contracts and patronage, moved quickly once the Soviet Union was disbanded to scoop up all the oil, gas. and mineral licenses for himself and his friends.

But he never got over the humiliation of Russia in Afghanistan and accelerated his moves in the Middle east. Destabilizing Syria, war, creating a refugee crisis, then through 3rd parties, inciting and otherwise arranging for the refugees to turn up on the shores of European countries, all while the international Media was covering the humanitarian crisis breathlessly.

At the same time, the anti immigration anti Muslim agitators and Extreme Right all over Europe...and eventually the United States in an effort to weaken, and hopefully disband NATO and allow further encroachment. I am waiting for the confirmation of Russia's involvement in the efforts leading up to our insurrection. Even General McRaven said Putin is dangerous, and the greatest threat we face.

Dang, Muriel deleted a lot of stuff today. Guess I’ll stick to talking about hot guys for a few days.

R356 - Yes, the American news media is covering the new border situation, and even the TIMES has mentioned that this could backfire on Biden as the Republicans push the, "See? We told you he'd simply start letting them all in. He doesn't care that your taxes are paying for all the services they need, or if they have criminal records, or how many kids they have."

And, in fact, from the reports, it does appear that many are being released into the country without being tested for COVID, or before their "asylum" cases have been settled, and despite the fact that everyone knows they may simply go underground rather than risk being denied asylum and deported, and increase the number if illegal migrants in the country.

This has the potential to undermine the Democrats in 2022, by which time the COVID crisis will likely have lessened or gone away, and people begin to be refocussed on other issues: like paying taxes for border security whilst the Biden administration lets in thousands of people who represent extra taxpayer burdens, without proper vetting, and almost all from one broad ethnic group. But not for long: Haitians are heading for that border now, and it's just a matter of time before large swaths of Africans and Middle Easterners, those with the money to do so, start paying traffickers to get them as far as America's southern border.

Good luck in 2022 with that, Mr President - especially if the Senate fails to convict Trump and he is free to run for office again, pulling with him all those Republicans who can see a real culture war fight on their hands over immigration, and Trump's base flocks to the new party and the Democrats manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory within two years.
