At the same time we havent had any problems with muslims in Finland. They seem to enjoy their personal freedoms for some bizarre reason and go on with their daily business just like anyone else.

That event doesnt really have anything to do with 911 victims. It´s just a smokescreen for these nutters who are trying to provocate the muslim population in the city.
The organization is called "Stop Islam in Europe", they should try out the clown school. Great potential there.

China has a pretty good history of treating its minorities with an iron fist, it has nothing to do with this dreaded threat of yours. I think it´s rather tasteless that you paint this oppression as somekind of a security operation. You know they did the same thing in Tibet for the same reasons.
As I said, it is more likely that a meteor or a lightning bolt will hit my head when compared to the possibility that a muslim will kill me in order to achieve world domination. And to be honest I dont really worry eventhough I´ve seen Deep Impact.

Uh yeah, not all muslims are radical islamic terrorists. Next to that, gangs cause way more crime in the US than muslims in Europe.
It's ironic how Americans are always telling us how things are in Europe. When we say we don't wear burqas or aren't forced to read the koran three times a day, it's not because we're denying it or fail to see "the truth", it's simply because it isn't so.

Well, I have muslim friends, I have dated muslim girls in my time... they live, love, suffer and rejoicejust like we do. They bleed just as red too. Muslim populations here are well integrated... European countries are their homes now, just as it is "stock" Europeans'. I see them as my fellow countrymen. That this will cause some changes in European culture cannot be denied... but it has hardly remained the same over the course of the last century. Conversely, European Muslimes don't live in protected glasshouses... European culture can't help but deeply affect their religious practice and their faith. I am quite sure AlQaeda and other salafist rabbles are just as wary of peaceful integration into European societies as of US presence in the Middle East, as some day, European Muslims will speak out loud and denounce salafism as the garbage it really is.
Now, thsi doesn't mean there aren't any issues... Like in every population, you'll find morons and hotheads among European muslims too (integration is a bumpy process at times... ) but to say the truth, I am not more scared of tehm than I am of the neo fascist rabble here. Violent and vocal groups they may be, but they will remain a tiny minority as long as we keep our calm. If I may complete Burke's so often quoted maxim, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing or act precipitously and stupidly"

I think people who say things like that haven't got a clue about the demographics of Europe.
And what if it did? Europe is somewhere around 80-90% christian but do you see a a christian theocracy here? No.
Religion doesn't run states and write laws in Europe, not christianity, not islam, not anything.
When Muslims reach a majority in an area they demand seperate Islamic rules and want to breakaway from host nation.This is my exp on the issue.
Islam is so embedded in ME culture that they take those values with them when they immigrate.You can still to this day see the effect of Ottoman rule in Southeast Europe thus all the conflict there.Why is West Europe so
apologist to Muslim crime on Christians. Once you move to a country you need to assimilate to laws and customs not the other way around.This is in general terms i am talking.I know there are exceptions to every rule.Our family has friends that the husband is Syrian and wife British and ever so often he will eat pork and drink rakija and he is a very nice man.And i will shut up now:)

Nansouty
08-18-2007, 06:42 AM
That's what they are doing... assimilating. But assimilation is a 2 way process. As tehy are transformed, so is the country integrating them. More importantly, I despise salafism as much as everyone here. But I think the best way to fight it is to allow a European, liberal tradition of Islam to grow. Islam is by no means the monolithic bloc some people perceive, it is even way more fractious than the western civilization. The current brand islamic "traditionalism " has its roots in the 1258 fall of Baghdad to the Mongols, which some imams explain as the wrath of God to punish these believers who had followed more liberal ways (like sufis)... European Islam may well be the undoing of Islam as it is practiced in traditional muslim lands.
If we lock ourselves in our lettle communautarian fortresses, AQ, and all other fearmongers, have won. They fear freedom, and a liberal faith, more than we fear them. I am confident in the power of the western values to live on, and bring much needed changes in the muslim world. But that won't be accomplished at the point of the sword.

Why on earth would immigrants want to separate to form "Islamic nations" when that is what they are running away from to Europe?
And people can always demand whatever they like. The funny thing about democracy is that those demands are decided with by vote. I don't see any fundies reaching a majority large enough so that they could change the constitution (of any European nation or EU) that forbids "separate Islamic rules". You would need a 2/3 majority for that in most parliaments I think. Islamic fundies can't even get a single seat in the parliament of any European nation, nor even in France that has the largest muslim minority of Europe.

Well... considering a large good handful of European countries are having trouble replacing it's population (your average German family has 1.5 children) while the muslims are having no problem replacing those that die and then some.
Also, in reply to your "religion doesn't run states in Europe" let's remember the Crusades, the bull**** Ireland went through (still goes through, though it is calming down a little bit,) and a lad named Adolf.
And those that said gangs are more of a threat then islamic fundamentalism, let's remember 9/11/01, 7/7/05, 3/11/04 and Basayev's little spree in Russia.

Europe.
Litti

Low birthrate comes with prosperity and change of attitudes. That is what happens to muslim immigrants eventually as well.
Obviously crimes have been committed but it is not really a big problem, because statistically they are not doing worse than Europeans from the same social and economical background.
Muslims are just like anyone else. Give them their own space and treat them with respect and they will be happy. Has worked rather well in Finland. European values are already doing the trick and liberal Islam is rising in the old continent as we speak, that will be the ultimate cure against fundamentalism. p-)

Thanks for the compliment... where do you live? I met muslims everyday, and I don't see them begging for their own laws, or chariah here. In fact, I'd say they are sheltering from oppressive traditions of Islam in the West. All they ask for is some respect, to which, as our fellow countrymen, they are certainly entitled.
Regarding my religion, I'm taking the "irony" (well, let's be generous and call it that ) in your post... I am a Christian and Voltairian, and if certainly Voltaire would hate salafism, he would serve anti muslim bigotry its due just as well.

Under 40% of the Dutch are religiously affiliated and the Netherlands is officially a secular nation.
Second how is me pointing out Christian victims of Islamic fighters starting a Balkan flamewar and third the riots in Paris were caused my Arab and North African Muslim immigrants so you cannot say it had nothing to do with Islam.
The Paris riots were started by two kids getting killed and angry response by the ghetto community.
Violence was aimed against property, the police and some random bystanders, not against christians, muslims nor any ethnic group.
The French authorities investigated the riots and found no religious motives and majority of the rioteers were French citizens.
Now what I would like to know is how can these be described as "islamic crimes against christians"?
Let's say a person of nominally christian religion robs a bank without any religous motive, is this "a christian crime against the monetary system"?
I don't think so either.
To call something a religious hate crime needs to have a religious motivation.
You wanted me to give you examples of Islamic crime on Christians.
Please do.

Anyway of course there have been acts of fundamentalist terrorism in Europe too but they have been always condemned by all, including the vast majority of the muslim community. I don't see how you can call that apologetic.

I think there will be a backlash in my country in the not so distant future. I don't know anyone that thinks Swedish immigration laws are working. For example, Sweden is being flooded with Iraqis. Sweden alows more Iraqi refugees to stay than any other EU country. A 50% increase in people arriving is expected this year and is going to but even more strain on the welfare system. As things start to get worse for people in this country I'm certain that we are going to see a greatly increased support for both muslim and nationalist groups here.
Litti

Sweden is having problems with the amount of immigration (not with muslims per se), because others are not doing their part. Statistically Sweden is taking in more than anyone else eventhough they didnt invade any country by my recollection.
You would think that UK and USA would be more responsible, or atleast at the same level as Scandinavia, and take these refugees in, no? I guess it´s easier to destroy than to help. :roll:

We're going off topic here...
What I really find disturbing, in this thread, is the assimilation of muslims and mainstream Islam to the most extreme forms of salafism... I will not dispute we have extremists in Europe, salafists or otherwise (hello Le Pen!), but they are till now a powerless lot. They bark loud, but all the terrorists attacks here are a small bite. I may sound cold hearted to say so (total deaths amount to several hundreds, I know) but damage to our societies has been minimal. I am quite willing to run that risk personally and keep my freedom and muslim friends free...

There is no magical solution to this problem except for integrating Muslims, and other immigrants for that matter. Making sure that becoming a contributing and full member of society is a more attractive, and a real alternative than being seduced by this radical minority. One way of definitely alienating Muslims from society is running around yelling that Muslims are evil fascists that are out to dominate the world (Sure those Muslims exist, but the trick is to make sure as few Muslims as possible subscribe to this ideology). By doing that you're actually playing in to the hands of these radicals.

Ok, i'll try to clarify a bit from a Dutch point of view.
The percentage of 45% of the populace being religious is wrong.
55% is religous
45% of those is affiliated with some kind of christian church.
Thus 10% is of a other religion
around 5% is islamic.
I have read some posts of people who bring up the Van Gogh murder, citing this as a example of crimes perpetrated by Islamic people. The killer, Mohammed buyeri, got a life sentence without any chance of parole(this includes a royal pardon) other muslim terrorists, like the Hofstad group( members were aprehended in the The Hague siege, amongst other operations conducted by the anti terrorist units) have for the largest part, recieved lengthy prison sentences of upwards of 15 years for relatively minor offences compared to the crime comitted by Buyeri.
This rise in foreign, non ex-colonial immigrants (i.e not Indonesian, Maluku, Surinamese or Antillian, who represent a generally very well integrated segment of Dutch society) has sparked a increase in rightish tendencies in (mostly) ethnic Dutch people, and thus, in politics. This resulted in very strict immigration laws and a increase in anti terroristic legislature.
Tolerance has long been a applauded attribute of the Dutch, but one should know that this tolerance has its borders. Cross it and you will have found a dangerous enemy, as for example, The Spanish Empire can testify.(we fought them for eighty years to get freedom of reiligion, and in gaining our independance, nearly brought the empire to it's knees)
Our society is aproaching a critical point, at times at faster pace, and at times at a slower pace. Foreign youths form the largest part of problem youths and Ethnic Dutch see foreign influence reaching into their daily lives and habits. I hope it does not reach a critical point of just plain racism and intolerance but it seems that way.

Just to correct you, 45% of the dutch people do not have a religious affiliation. And just because you belong to the church, it does not make you religious per se.
I belong to the state church in Finland but I am not religious, just like most of the people in this country.

Our "gastarbeiders" (guestworkers) have been here for some time now, since the mid 60's I believe. Todays youth are not the "second generation" they're the third or even the fourth. Our govenrment just has had a crappy integration policy for quite some time. Which is remarkable, because their parents never caused too much trouble.
A bunch of moroccan youths once assaulted girls from my college in a local subtropical swimming pool, and the police cracked down on them pretty hard on them. Afterwards, one of the officers told me those kids were more afraid of how their parents would react than they were afraid of the police(and some of the officers were screaming so loud at them, you could hear it al the way trough the glass and for quite some distance outside)
(I edited my previous post about religion in Holland, it should now read that 55% is religious and 45% of those people are affiliated with a christian church)
Could you tell us where it happened ?
I sure can a little place called Kosovo-Metohija.And it was attempted in Bosna.
And of course Muslim minorities are not going to overrun Europe but when they become the majority in an area
Then things will change.One thing is clear Muslims live an easier life in Christian lands than Christians would in Muslim lands.I say would because in Muslim lands there are barely any Christians around. Through incrementalism
this change will take place in parts of Europe.

It´s a shame that this wave of refugees is a strain to the Swedish economy. I wonder how many homes and how much education one unnamed country could have provided for them with 2 trillion dollars, the amount that has been wasted in the Iraq war, the same money that was actually used to destroy their homes so that we have to pay the bill.
Great work, just great work.
Are your immigrants Iraqi (I really don't know)... I always assumed that the immigrant problems in Scandinavia were with Somalis, Moroccans, Turks etc and largely due to:
1) need for immigrant labor in host country
2) liberal bleeding-heart immigration policies
3) immigrant workers "importing" the rest of their family

In fact I was kidding about the minorities responsible of all the problems ( it seems I wasn't that clear ). Coming from Aulnay-Sous-Bois ( 93 ) what I saw is people from Africa ( all of it not only north ) and white people ( obviously not from Africa ) burning cars. The thing they have in common is the fact they live in the "banlieues" ( which means banishment place ), and when you live in such places it is hard even if you have diploma to find a work and be respected.

It's not so much about the religions, but the culture. Some Somalis here form aggressive posses and commit all kinds of small crimes, this however is not usually the problem with Turks or Tartars (Tartars have been here for over a century). Also Roma people tend to cause problems sometimes, because their way of life is usually a little different from ours ie. they dont' usually care much about school (many do however!). The social workers are trying to balance between integration and preserving the immigrants' cultures. Russian kids are sometimes pretty arrogant, but they are good people if you stay in terms with them. Far-Asians and Indians seldom cause any trouble because the are more willing to integrate to the system so that they can start working sooner.

I am frequently surprised at how many people can just ignore the signs. There are riots in Paris, preachers in Yorkshire calling for a Islamic Britain, judges in Germany citing Sharia law, no-go suburbs in Sweden and elsewhere, and yet people still want proof? If these things were happening in only one or two places then I could understand people saying that the threats are overblown. But they are happening everywhere. Can't you see a pattern or are you just being willfully blind?
As for the people saying that Islam will grow in Europe. Come on. I guess demographics are just too abstract to deal with on a day-to-day basis.
Some European cities, such as Marseille (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marseille) in France and Rotterdam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotterdam) in the Netherlands, now have Muslim populations of 25 percent. In others, like Paris (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris), Brussels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels), London (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London) and Copenhagen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen), Denmark, the figure is in excess of 10 percent.[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Europe#_note-4) Moscow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow) is home to an estimated 1.5 million Muslims.[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Europe#_note-5) Europe’s Muslim population (without Russia) has tripled over the last 30 years, to about 23 million, and experts predict it will double again by 2020. In 2005, EU had an overall net gain from international migration of +1.8 million people. This accounts for almost 85 percent of Europe’s total population growth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_growth) in 2005. Birth rates in Muslim communities in Europe are about three times higher than in European non-Muslim communities.[9] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Europe#_note-6)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Europe
Non-muslims families have one child, muslim families have 3. Who's populations do you think is going to grow? One will halve, the other will increase by 50% each generation. The means exponential change. ie very fast! To look at overall numbers is misleading because muslims aren't even distributed everywhere. They are concentrated. What will Europe do when a muslim majority city like Rotterdam in 25 years time democratically elects an Islamist, Sharia government? Heck, what will you do when you have 25%, 30%, 40% of a city burning from Islamist rioting?
Well, I guess you could do what you did when Paris burned. Blame yourselvess, blame the government, blame the social programs, blame the cops. Blame everyone but those responsible.
Finally, to those people who think that 2nd and 3rd generation muslims moderate over time. Wake up. The London bombers were all British-born.

You should stop watching FoxNews crap. The riots in Paris had nothing to do with islam it has to do with relationship between police and people of certain places. The people calling for sharia law in Europe is a minority and 23 millions of muslims out of 494 millions of europeans is less than 5%.

And I see that you still ignore the realities of demographics. Dismissing the issue in one sentence, "23 millions of muslims out of 494 millions of europeans is less than 5%", is laughable. Its like reviewing a movie from one screenshot. Do you think that populations are static? By 2020 that 23 million will double. With less than 2 kids per family, the rest of Europes population will decline. Also, do you think muslims are spread out all over Europe like an even layer of butter on toast? Rotterdam, and Marseille are already 25%. By 2020 that will be over 50% as the non-muslims leave. What do you say about that?

2 things.
- Muslim birthrates are getting very similar to stock Europeans'
- Why would they leave their hometowns? It's a fantasy to think thay are threatened in any way. West European muslims partake in western values and have no intention of waging any kind of jihad here. You'll find nutjobs among them, of course, and some hooligans may hide behind a religious excuse, but the huge majority of muslims condemns them sternly.
Also, do you think muslims are spread out all over Europe like an even layer of butter on toast? Rotterdam, and Marseille are already 25%. By 2020 that will be over 50% as the non-muslims leave. What do you say about that?
So what. Of course minorities are not equally spread. Look at the U.S. and A. 2nd: Demographics are impossible to tell for the next 50 years. THe german demographics changed last year. If this change will continue for the next 50 years we'll be overpopulated. See? Statistics and future statistics are more then vague and are not really helpful to prove your point. It's not that easy.
Now do you tell me why you care about Rotterdam? How many Europeans care about the latin population in southern California or Texas? Is it because you want to tell us how bad every muslim is? Sorry to burst your bubble, but last weekend i got ****faced with 2 muslim friends and a half spanish guy (Günes, Tolga and Daniel to be correct). Ooooh some drink alcohol and behave like we do. Most of the Morrocan and Turkish girls i know do not even wear a headscarf. Even though their parents are more or less conservative.
If you come up with numbers, please provide us with exact numbers of radicals and future radicals. I do not ignore the problems of largely immigrant neighbourhoods, but that are problems most immigrant communities have. Latin christian or muslim. And Sharia Law in Germany, oh well please someone post the link. It was maybe that single case of a judge that was a bit nuts and got corrected the next day. But hey, it sounds good and so it is implied in every damn post to prove something. BS. How many stonings have been reported in Europe with the milions of muslims? Not that living together is always easy, but this is getting a bit ridiculous.
The thing is, the same guys who complain about illegal latin/mexican immigrants in other threads say here that it's not so bad and harmless, "but... really the worst thing is Eurabia and stuff". Double standards. Tell me one European who cries about immigration in the U.S. (or north america). Btw speaking about Germany ("the heartland of Eurabia") the immigrants from Russia, eastern and south eastern Europe are the biggest group in the last ten years. Turks are living here from a big wave in the 60's. And Russian immigrants living in closed communities create the same problems as muslims living in closed communities. Integration fails sometimes. But that has not much to do with religion per se.

http://www.cbs.nl/en-GB/menu/themas/bevolking/cijfers/nieuw/default.htm
The Dutch Bureau for Statistics (CBS) released a set of demographic projections for 2050 where the population is expected to remain at its current levels (16.8 million in 2050 compared to 16.4 million today, wow thats massive overpopulation, eh?)
But its composition will change dramatically. Today the non-Dutch component is 19% but that will increase to 29% according to the CBS. And that means people with one or both parents from outside the Netherlands. It doesn't count 2nd or 3rd gen immigrants.
However, that 71-29 division between locals and immigrants will especially differ by age, and location. Who knows. That split among working age (ie fighting age) could well be 50-50 or more with lots of retired old Dutch folk in the background.
For something that impossible to predict, you are awfully quick to dismiss it.

Honour Killings are a crime. Of course they exist. But the original post implied something like lawful acts, sharia. And to connect those cases to the whole muslim community makes me wonder if you ever lived around muslims. They are nutters and yes, extremists, but the numbers are not relly that extraordinary. In other places in the world more people get shot every day, then in most European cities per year.
And yes in fact there has been a baby boom this year in Germany which has had a notoriously low birth rate. And yes i bellieve that will change in the long run. And Muslims often times have one kid. The big cities in Germany had a plus of up to 21% of births in the first quarter of the year (compared to the years before, by German natives of course). Impossible to predict in the next 50 years.

No stonings yet. Honour killings. Maybe lots.
When you quote an article read it, they say nothing about religion. In addition :
So what constitutes honour? Is this is a religious issue?
No. The world's major religions do not play a part in these killings - although many of the guilty have tried to justify their actions on religious grounds.
The key factors are cultural and generational divisions, the victim's refusal to toe a line and a reaction against a family or clan's self-proclaimed code or rules.
In that sense, honour killings are much more about male-dominated societies or communities that try to stop women taking their own decisions. In other words, the killers believe it is culturally acceptable for them to murder to preserve, in their mind, the good name of the family.
More recently, in the age of migration around the world, the murders have come where a family reacts violently to a son or daughter taking on the trappings of a western culture.
For instance, accusations of dishonour may emerge because someone from an older migrant generation remains utterly tied to the culture or code of their village - and fails to accept their children have been brought up in modern British society with all that goes with that.
Crucially, the number of people who believe that violence in the name of honour is justified is very, very small.

Good point. We can clearly see from the London bomb attacks that their assimilation process has failed. It's just an illusion.
Do you think it is possible to deduct such things from the actions of some individuals?
Do criminals serving jail sentences in your country illustrate the collapse of your society or plainly the fact that thay have bad individual instincts and misjudgment?
Since there is no German law in force...
Ok, we have no German law. So, we should stop discussing.
Why not?
stupid question.
True, but Muslim rapists can appeal on their culture.
BS
*shrug* FFM
German will be less and less in this mix.
If you think so.
They are Russians, they should be encouraged to go home. They're Russlanddeutsche. I do not really care what they are, as long as they integrate and speak German.
One cannot seperate ethnic and religious matters from social matters. That's teh basic mistake liberals do all teh time - and then wonder why nothing works. So what do Russian immigrants to do with Muslim problems?
Why not?
Soon you will have to move to the countrysite if you want to avoid that. I won't. Düsseldorf is a nice place and will only get better in the next ten years. You're really scared, maybe you should run.
It almost costed my life, not that I want to sound effeminate, but even a small Muslim minority causes much trouble.Did they breath your oxygen?
Oh ok, someone in my school beat me up, so we have to get rid of Muslims in this country. I had my fights in my childhood. And didn't always win. That's life. Maybe you should have pulled an "Anzeige".

I think so because it is like that, very simple.
They're Russlanddeutsche.
They are Russians mostly.
I do not really care what they are, as long as they integrate and speak German.
That integration babbling is worthless. Germany is the land for Germans.
So what do Russian immigrants to do with Muslim problems?
Nothing, they rather help to solve it since they dare to fight back and defend themselves against Muslim aggression.
I won't. Düsseldorf is a nice place and will only get better in the next ten years. You're really scared, maybe you should run.

You ran yout of arguments pretty soon - now comes the typical leftist trolling.
Oh ok, someone in my school beat me up, so we have to get rid of Muslims in this country.
Stabbing, robbery, harrassing is normal. And it is not the Russians, it isnot the Hungarians, French, Spanish, Poles etc, but Muslims from Turkey and Morocco mostly.
One time e.g. they pushed a girl into a corned and pissed on her so she was drenched in urine. School leader and techers did their best to sweep that under the carpet.
I had my fights in my childhood. And didn't always win. That's life. Maybe you should have pulled an "Anzeige".
I did, I was blamed for attacking them. I mean, it is logical I attack many foreigners and run backwards in their knive you know. Police here does not dare to investigate against Muslims often enough, this only means trouble and can end your career.
Berlin's police vice-commander openly admitted he no longer lets his officers patrol certain ares since he does not want to risk their health. Only when urgently required they come to these areas. Who the habitants are is everyone's guess.

This is the internet and you never stay on toppic but try to derail the discussion. You claimed Sharia is not used here. I proved it is done everyday. You did not reply on that.

Latinum does not help translating/verifying Latin words. Okay.
More history. Liberals are one of the reason the German Nationstate was found. Read up on Liberalism. You do not make any sense. But we're mixing too many discussions here anyway.
"Germany is the heartstone of Europe, physically and morally. All the burdens of Europe are poured into its lap and it is constantly atoning by its suffering not only for its own sins, but for the sins of all other nations. Can we hope for a revolution in this unhappy Germany? The liberal leaders are all in exile and those who remain behind have lapsed into their former state of contended servitude. It remains therefore the task of the liberal Germans in America to propagate the American World State in Germany itself." The New Rome; or, the United States of the World - 1853The liberals driven out here after 1849 started the infestion of USA - sadly this pestilence came back here.
Anyway, I am well aware there were and are national-liberals (-libertarians), but they are a tiny minority.
Leftists are socialists and if you want communists. Liberalism is quite the opposite. Smartarse. When Americans use the term they
create their own terminology, which relates to the american political system. Even though they might as well have forgotten, what it actually means.
So in Germany liberals belong to the right-wing? Boy, don't be kidding me.
Liberals i.e. liberal democrats incorporated marxism - so there can't be no significant difference between liberals and commies.
Forgot that one.
Why? Because you say so?
I wonder where you plan to live in the future. Utopia?
Currently it is an utopia to establish democracy and the rule of law. True. But the wind is changing slowly.
Sorry to burst your bubble, tell me about a country with a single ethnicity.
You do not burst bubbles, of course there are no countries with a single ethnicity anymore - that's why we have these problems. That's why it is crucial to establish law and order and to end colonailization of our countries.
Maybe you should apply to live there, if they take you.
I do not ask for permission to gain my own homeland back - no matter you like it or not.
More and more Europeans are fed up - yet they are too coward to speak up, but just wait. Wind is changing.

German blood reflux from the east came just in time for us, but wasn't that much to hold up demographic decline. Yes, many of the so called Spätaussiedler are reluctant to speak German and failed integration, but you have to keep in mind that they are first generation. They are called Russian and thus often resign and try to be what they are supposed to be -Russians. Speak Russian, dress Russian, behave Russian, listen to Russian music playing load eneough to shatter a whole block, perfect wannabe immitation of a Russian Gangster stereotype.
You have also to take into account that ppl who speak Russian can also be real Russians or much more likely Jews form Russia. There is quite plenty of them as they can immigrate to Germany without much restrictions because of the past. And getting welfare in Germany is much more alluring than holding your ass into the line of fire in the Golan Hights.
Beside of that the previous waves of Russia Germans integrated quite well. You can't even tell a difference between them and indigenious Germans. Well maybe there is one in their mind set. They are not afraid to speak up and defend themselves against muslim aggression. Most indigenious Germans are too intimidated and affraid to be called Nazis if they speak up or against a foreigner, and never ever dare to hit back.
I'm glad that Russia Germans are here in Germany, maybe we can learn a lesson from them.

I think he means "Liberals" in a European sense, the American definition especially now, is not what we would call "liberals"
It's wikipedia, but you'll find those definitions everywhere:
Classical liberals emphasize free private enterprise, individual property rights, laissez-faire economic policy, and freedom of contract, and opposes the welfare state. Classical liberals support equality before the law, but hold that economic inequality, arising from competition in the free market, does not justify wealth redistribution by governments.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal
The modern Liberal Party in Germany (FDP) for example concentrates on those principles. To call leftists Liberal is actually nonsense. You may call them social Liberals. But the word has too many sub meanings. I complained, that the German guy threw around with "Liberal", when in Germany it is more closely knit to the Liberal Party, which means classic Liberalism, free enterprise etc. The oppossite of Socialism. Liberals are neither left nor right in this definition. And in the same way the founding fathers were Liberals, because at that time they could only be described as classic Liberals. Not social Liberals and obviously not "leftists".

Edit: To end on a proper level:
Where did i say i agree with every Multi-Culti-Immigration policy? I put up the point where not only muslims, but sometimes other groups fail to integrate. And then i added "i don't care that they're Russian as long as they integrate". Some really do, others don't. You put the "Multi Culti Utopia" in my mouth. The degree of it is the factor. YOU on the other hand only want t live in an ethnically clean state. Which is

The ones that don't behave well or have radical views are just so much louder and eye-catching than the moderate ones.
I live in a German city with about 30% immigrants, a lovely concoction of Turks, Moroccans and Russians, with a dash of Polish, Africans, Croats, Serbs and Kosovo Albanians to complete the mix.
Obviously young men between 15-25 of any social group are going to have the most disrespectful and outlandish behavior.
By far the worst in terms of this behavior, particularly in terms of respecting the law, property of others and the state and behavior towards women, are the Turks and Moroccans. I personally believe religion is a deciding factor in this, as is the gang mentality that seems to accompany ethic minorities in any country. Like or not though, that's Germany's future and integration is the only hope of creating a positive future.
Positively speaking however, most 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants are fairly integrated on some economic levels, on other levels however, particularly social behavior, integration seems regrettably a long way away.
My wife, a German, teaches kids from 7-12 grade and is much, much more pessimistic regarding integration than I am. She absolutely despises most foreign male youth due to their behavior at school.... and genuinely feels sorry for the often very bright Turkish girls at her school who are being "sold off" and sent back to Turkey in arranged marriages just after they finish "gymnasium", which is the university prep high school level in Germany.

As a French I can say that in addition Chinese never die.
First generation people are always hardworking, it is the 2nd and 3rd generation of whatever origin people that have problem. Because they are angry by the fact that they are rejected by France and by the country of their parents. They see every day their hardworking parents getting their identity controled because of their color not because of their behavior, they hear every day "a French of xxxx origin" when they are simply French. When they have diploma and try to work honestly they are received by "hum.... We are sorry but the place is filled" and most of the time that's not true.
Chinese of the first generation are maybe secretive but it changes whith next generations.

Wouldn't those nations have more in common with thier homeland?)
Why hasn't there been an influx of French, Belgian, German, Swedish or Finns to Indonesia? Or Qatar? Or Algeria? Turkey? Or say, Cambodia?

I do have anti-religious bias, but that´s not the same as being racist. Racist is a word used too often and because of that it has lost it´s signifigance.
I don´t have any negative experiences from having contact with immigrants, quite the contrary. I just hope that they have respect for our values when they come to live in our countries and don´t expect us to give them privileges based on their religious faith. They should keep their religious beliefs personal and not ever try to impose it on our societies.

(Just look at the Middle East and Asia.)
Lot of somalis came to Finland in the early 1990´s as refugees.
Arabs in Finland are propably just immigrants that moved here to work at some point.

A very interesting article in the Financial Times :

Radical muslims are just a minority... most are chiefly concerned with "bread and butter" issues, just like ( almost ) everyone else. Some very good points too on the French 2005 riots. They are put nicely in perspective.

Excellent article. Thanks a lot. At least someone that knows what he talks about.

and even it is said that it is a custom over there to send their young men to safety from a civil war I still don´t get it. Shouldn´t these men be out there fighting the civil war and women, children and elderly people be those refugees :roll:.
Btw, now when the situation has settled down there why aren´t these people going back home?

I do have anti-religious bias, but that´s not the same as being racist. Racist is a word used too often and because of that it has lost it´s signifigance.
Yep, but taking people in from Far-East only would just further the division between us and the Middle-Easterners.
I don´t have any negative experiences from having contact with immigrants, quite the contrary. I just hope that they have respect for our values when they come to live in our countries and don´t expect us to give them privileges based on their religious faith. They should keep their religious beliefs personal and not ever try to impose it on our societies.
Agreed. However, atleast for the Somalis, they probably don't have any information about our country or our values when they first arrive. They have culturally next-to-nothing similarity with us and should not expected to do so, because they are refugees not quest workers. Some of them just can't handle the difference, so they form gangs and do the shyte they've been doing in wherever they came from. Those will be send back to their original countries.

Duh, would you like to go back to live in poverty while you could live here sucking from the welfare-system.:)
Hopefully atleast their kids will get a job. It's good that we don't have the same immigration system as Sweden.

Nice, I like the classical liberal definition you listed. However, here in the USA the party that currently has been named liberal, would not meet that definition. For they do not champion those ideals nor do they speak in those terms. I would classify them as Neo-Marxist, not liberal. (Now some third-party folks could be called liberal. For they meet such a criteria.)
I don't see Islam taking over Europe, though it will influence decisions made there. And you will incorparate it into a European-religion that will come forth in the next decade.
Yes IronFinn, it seems that the Finns have handle their immigration wisely. Where as the Swedes have operated with alturistic motives. Which have caused them more grief than they care to admit. It is not racist to maintain your nation's identity, its heritage. Nor is it racist to maintain your living standards. Now if you pick and choose who comes to your nation based upon skin color, then you would be racist. (So Europeans, cease with self-debasement on this!)
For the nay-sayers here, if you invite some one to your apartment or home. Do you expect them to respect your property? Do you expect them to obey rules you have in your home? Or do you let them run amok, doing as they please? I think not!
