The elites allowed so many muslim immigrants that it has become a problem. notice muslim countries would never allow that many christians from europe or anywhere else into their land..that's IF they had anything anybody wanted.
I remember back in 2001 during my stay in Germany there was a report on ARD or one of the German channels of the 911 hijackers plotted in Germany.
I don't think Muslim country elites refuse entry to new migrants based on religion, but more so due to the difficulty they already have keeping a lid on their volatile and overwhelmingly young and unemployed populations.
We have shitloads of unemployed in the US but the flood continues. Muslims just want theirs to be theirs and yours to be theirs too.
I'm going to stay away from the sweeping generalizations about a group of people, as I am frequently a victim of same. There's a huge difference between unemployment in the US that is largely part of the business cycle and deliberate policy choices that help export manufacturing jobs, and the unemployment driven by demographic pressures, underdevelopment and over-concentration in the oil sector. That being said, immigration numbers in the US are sharply down since the economic downturn, and Muslim countries have only one sector that supports employment (including immigrant employment) - oil.
Compelling 2009 insight into Europe's shifting immigration dynamic ... *its somewhat lengthy, if you decide to read it.* http://www.meforum.org/2107/europe-shifting-immigration-dynamic
Watched a documentary called The Latino List from HBO last night. Interesting insight into the Latin American experience, wish they would have had for Afro-Caribbeans (very telling) but interesting hearing them talk about their experience. I totally get why they come here, if I were in the same position I would too.
I heard a great interview about the Afro-Caribbean experience from Carrie Gibson, author of "Empire's Crossing". That's going to be my holiday reading.
In France too, the Muslim population as a whole is being attacked because of the actions of a small minority. Some of whom are going to Syria to fight alongside extremists. Biut most muslims here are just going about their lives and are not a problem. Anyway, in France many muslims are African, not Arabic.
I am thinking of you sarah, yea I am Muslim black and so far away from france what can I do ? brahahahaah
Muslims do more than their share of attacking....like the beloved Janjaweed. Blacks were rounded up en mass in Libya and lynched as recently as 3 years ago. http://humanrightsinvestigations.org/2011/07/07/libya-ethnic-cleansing/ www.youtube.com/watch?v=cslPrRLaQDI http://rt.com/news/libya-rebels-torture-africans-679/
Islamophobia is growing in Europe. Although honestly I am not surprised since there are major cultural differences between fresh off the boat immigrants and Europeans. Most Europeans are very much pro alcohol so Islams ban on alcohol very much stirs Europeans. There also is issues of white flight and neighborhoods becoming ghettos in Europe. Even Freedom of movement and gypsies from Romania and Bulgaria are causing people to be pissed at EU migration. Also there is the economic factor that immigrants do get subsidies housing and other state benefits. These are all issues that needs to be solved.....Unfortunately radical xenophobic and parties with Neo Nazi roots are taking over the dialogue and in some countries winning themselves seats in parliament. Whats even more hilarious is often that these nationalist xenophobic parties in Europe get donations from Americans. Europe is not becoming "Islamophied" that is just absurd nonsense.
