Difference being when some members of those in need see these lands as a gift seeded to them from Allah and Islam has no room for multiculturalism. Women have to cover their faces, the origin of this would come off to anyone as controlling insecurity and totally from a male perspective. So much of that religion/political system serves the needs of men, multiple wives etc. Where are all the fucking feminists with Islam?
Merkel is behind a lot of this. She needs to be fucking impeached or whatever you germans do. Germany is a laugh now because they feel all this guilt from Nazi Germany, from fascism. Yet, they are bringing that same fascism to Germany. Geert Wilders made such a good point about the whole thing and he barely dodged prison time for just TELLING THE TRUTH. I say that Germans should smash on those god damn censorship laws and stop feeling like sad little children. Nazi Germany is over. You don't owe the world shit.
I mean I am a lot more philosophical in my general outlook most times, I don't mean that as a way of making myself look cool. I'm just a relativist, don't believe that anyone can spout universal truths.
but I am offended by those who practice religion that they should carry their habits into places where these are not the mainstream, where secular rule has been a part of life for a while and where human rights are taken seriously by all inhabitants. to carry a habit which in one country may be the norm but in another may clash with a civil/human rights perspective, I am irked.
and I too think there is something to be said about those who proclaim that anything they do is in the name of the almighty. I think it's disgusting.
assimilation doesn't have to be absolute, but if you enter someone's house/country, be respectful.
I may be left leaning in most ways, or progressive and I know my attitude verges on xenophobia (or is outright xenophobic) but having been back to London where I grew up and having seen the lack of respect a lot of evidently disgruntled new inhabitants have for the place just pissed me off. not to say I don't somehow dislike most Londoners one way or another, but yeah. it's not even down to immigrants, I was an immigrant as early as 2 years old and grew up amongst immigrants. and I have seen racism around me (not necessarily directed at me). but it is bullshit that groups feel entitled enough that they should set up camp in a place they dislike and breed hate and vent their own hate.
I'm rambling. but respect is the most important aspect of a person's nature I find, and too many of these idiots lack it to the extremes we have seen during all these times.
basically it's the fault of politicians. the structure set up to deal with immigration is pathetic. the support immigrants get, to properly integrate and give a good part of themselves and invest in their new countries. is shit. but someone is evidently getting payed for this all, it somehow plays to the advantage of those up there. so I also refuse to lay the blame at the feet of the commoner.
