I'm saying that the difference in cultures in as much the cause for the violence, if not more so, than the difference in religion.

 

Yeah, but at the same time, you are saying that their religion IS their culture, and that they aren't necessarily targeting Christians. So who does that leave...everyone that isn't Muslim.

No, I'm not.

 

There's significantly more to their culture than Islam. If it was only about Muslims hating Christians, my Muslim friends would attack me whenever they see me. There's a violent, homophobic, misogynistic element throughout much of the middle east that some of the refugees bring with them, which is thankfully only held by the minority in western culture. Some of it undoubtedly stems from their interpretation of their faith, but to simply state that's a Muslim vs Christian thing doesn't seem accurate to me. .

I didn't state that it is "simply a Muslim vs. Christian thing".

 

I think it's a Muslim vs. Anybody That Isn't Muslim thing.

 

I'm sure some are more fervent than others, and I don't think they are all raging with hatred. I'm sure the majority can coexist with people outside their religion.

While last year Angela Merkel was saying "skilled migrants" will pay for aging Germans' pensions, a new government study has found just 34,000 out of 1.2 million migrants have gotten jobs.

From The Daily Mail:

Just 34,000 migrants out of the 1.2million who have arrived in Germany in the past two years have managed to find a job, new figures have revealed.


The statistics from the German government's Institute for Labour Research (IAB) reveal how only three per cent of those who travelled to the country are now working.


And in addition out of those who are employed, nearly a quarter are just on temporary contracts, with the numbers applying to migrants mostly from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Eritrea.

Did they reopen the Burglington Coat Factory? I bet I wouldn't recognize that neighborhood at all these days. I don't think there are any of the old bars left on that side of Broadway.

Drawing on a unique, new Chatham House survey of more than 10,000 people from 10 European states, we can throw new light on what people think about migration from mainly Muslim countries. Our results are striking and sobering. They suggest that public opposition to any further migration from predominantly Muslim states is by no means confined to Trump’s electorate in the US but is fairly widespread.

Yes. All the time.

I'm not surprised

 

I'll remember this when you post something that sites sources without a link. :rolleyes:

 

We seemed to do quite well for hundreds of years getting information without an internet link to site the source.
