    Until you find out it lets Muslim immigrants (80% of whom prefer sharia law over eu law) take over entire towns & countries.

                They are unsafe for regular people. They are not Europe anymore after 7pm.

                Yes, the implications are that people will democratically vote to stop democracy. That is not good for a country/unión.

                They won’t be the mayority, but they can surely negativily change a society without being a majority.

                WILL ALL THE NON EUROPEANS FK OFF PLZ? OR VISIT MARSEILLE AFTER 7PM FIRST. THNX

                  Your only example of this is Marseille and yeah the marseille situation is obviously due to the supposed country of origin of its inhabitants and not at all by the socioeconomical context that made impossible for young ppl to live there without commiting crimes. Because that’s what’s actually happening.

          Provide examples then. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and the burden of providing such evidence is on the claimant and no one else.

          And surely if you have a numeric figure like 80% for the proportion of Muslim immigrants in the EU who supposedly prefer sharia law, you can cite the source in which the statistic came from, and the source will list their data collection and analysis methodology which will also surely be logically and mathematically sound, right? Riiiiight?

                    I’m not worried about Muslims, my best friends are moderate Muslims from Morocco and Sierra Leone.

                    I’m just stating facts, they would indeed prefer sharia law.

                    Walking around in some cities at night isn’t as safe as it used to be (still not as bad as any us city tho).

                    That doesn’t make me Fascist.

                    Stating the same in the us about negros and cholos doesn’t make you racist. It makes you realist.

                    Ignoring real life issues DOES make you a tankie, tho.

              If you’ve ever been to Marseille, Paris or Rotterdam, you’d know that is categorically incorrect.

              I personally live in an area with a higher Muslim population, but nobody here wants Sharia Law. Nor to take over any towns.

              You should be less gullible about places you’ve never been to, and things you know little about.

                  All the Muslims come out and start plotting to take over?

                  The Muslim Sharia police start their rounds?

        Which port town? Rotterdam, Marseille, Barcelona, etc

        Because countries arnt yet at that level.

        30-40% of babies born are non European decent.

        I’m not even saying that’s a bad thing. But ANYONE THAT PREFERS SHARIA LAW OVER EUROPEAN (OR RESPECTIVE COUNTRY’S) LAW, should NOT be in Europe.

            I don’t want to get in the middle of a flame war, but as someone who’s seen the culture of his small town shift over the last couple decades, I can’t help but have some sympathy for those who worry about this happening in their local (Admittedly, in my case, it’s watching a town where the suburban drops off to rural slowly be subsumed by city sprawl, so this might be a false equivalance).

            But I think the real issue is that that’s not an evenly distributed 11%. People will naturally bunch up in groups along cultural lines. I could see a city developing a single Arab/Muslim neighborhood over the course of a decade being of no note, but it sounds like some are developing multiple over just a couple years.

            I have no real data to back that notion up, but from what I hear from Europeans, that’s the general feel. I think that’s the real issue: things are changing and they feel like they’re changing fast, and that’s freaking people out. Telling people who feel that way they’re crazy only “others” them and I feel that’s really how the situation gets worse.

            But also, the towns the guy above mentioned feel like bigger cities (I’m American and haven’t been to Europe, so I also might lack perspective), and so I do feel like they’re overstating the point.

                  How did I belittle them? By saying they were needlessly fearmongering? Because they are needlessly fearmongering. Muslims haven’t taken over port towns and they won’t implement sharia law in Europe.

                    That’s fair. I can see how I read more malice into your comment than was intended. I’d like to apologize for that.

                    I do want (for the sake of clarity) to say that I agree the flow of muslims to EU/US cities is not a problem. The notion of any western nation implementing Sharia Law (or any approximation) is wild at best.

                    I do think that the way you accused him of needlessly fear mongering doesn’t placate or soften the guys opinions. I think flat accusations like that are part of what pushes guys who do believe “Sharia Law will come by having Muslims around” into more extremist positions. Whether you intended it or not, I’m sure it was received as a belittling comment what will only serve to alienate the guy.

                    That does beg the question: what is the correct way to handle comments like this guy’s, to which I don’t have a good response. I do appreciate you rolling out actually data. But watching the polarization of beliefs and politcal positions, I feel the part folling the link to statistics isn’t helping.

                There is a big difference though. Their beliefs were compatible with Americans, everyone believed in Jesus, not killing people and such. And most importantly, the next generation mingled and married locals and they were almost fully assimilated by the third generation.

                Where I live, and other places, most of the Muslim population (not all, mind you) keep their children from others as much as possible. The children are taught what they can and can’t do because they are Muslim. And they can only marry Muslims (conversions are allowed but the family must live Muslim lives under those rules. They are not allowing natural assimilation. Places like Denmark have laws forcing immigrant children to attend day care with locals, because otherwise they won’t.

                  Okay, but they’re still a tiny minority. They will not be implementing sharia law in Europe any time in the foreseeable future because they just won’t have that power.

                  Also, if you’re going to say belief in Jesus is a requirement for being European, you’re going to have to do something about the Jews who live there too. And considering they’ve lived there for thousands of years, maybe that isn’t a defining characteristic of Europeans.

                    Nobody said they will. But they WANT to. Read my original text and please reply to the points that I ACTUALLY made, instead of putting words in my mouth…

                I think this is largely a consequence of the rate of change.

                Going from 50 generations back to 40 generation back (call it 750 AD to 1000 AD) very little would have changed for people, especially those limited in their means of transportation. I think this is largely, if not exactly, true of any generational gap (the exceptions I feel can be found at those bridging the rise and fall of empires)

                Meanwhile, 10 generations ago (call it like 1750) wouldn’t recognize the world today. Hell, 2-3 generations ago (thinking of those born ~1925-1950) barely recognize the world of today.

                The way I see it, the rate of change we experience in the world today is simply beyond the rate of change we were bred for over the bulk of humanity’s history.

                With that perspective in mind, it feels wrong to hold it against people to resist parts of that change.

                Yeah, in my ideal world, we’d all get along and be able to deal with these things in a civilized manner, but that feels super dismissive of the Human Condition and the real lived experience of people in the real world.

                Looping back to the point I want to make: coming at people hard for having a negative reaction to a changing world doesn’t make their acceptance of the changing world any better.

            Sorry, this is true if you include countries like Poland and Hungary.

            IT ISN’T TRUE IF YOU LOOK AT PORT CITIES. and small towns can be overrun within a week

            Ps MY BEST FRIENDS ARE (PROGRESSIVE) MUSLIMS. nothing against them! But adding even more immigrants that aren’t educated nor socially connected to ANY European thing isn’t good… They aren’t like the Mexicans…

                  Me:

                  Which country has Muslim immigrants taken over? Name it please.

                  You:

                  Which port town? Rotterdam, Marseille, Barcelona, etc

                  Because countries arnt yet at that level.

                  So yes you did say that Muslims have taken over Marseille. You are factually incorrect. “I see a lot of Muslims there” is not evidence of your claim.

                    So they took over daily life, not being the majority. However it is still a real fact. Try and walk around in those towns after 7pm, then report back to your fellow tankies

          Thinking that any political opinions are fundamentally “Non-European” is a fundamentally totalitarian and racist mindset. I reject your attempts at gatekeeping my politics based on your arbitrary and chauvinistic ideas of “European” values. But hey, there is nothing more inherently European than racism, so I guess you’re living up to your own ideals there.

            I specifically mentioned EUROPEAN LAW vs SHARIA LAW and the fact that 80% of European Muslims prefer the latter.

            THAT’S A FACTUAL STATEMENT FROM A LARGE PUBLIC INQ.

                  No, you don’t get to make claims and then tell other people to resarch it. Either you back up your claims with reputable sources, or you shut up. The burden of proof is on you and you alone, so get to it.

            Read my original words. It says 80% of Muslims in Europe would prefer sharia vs euro law.

            That’s the result of a large scale double blind inquiry. It’s not implying anything it’s just reality.

            Ps i actually like Muslims. More as insane xtians… At least they don’t twist and change their books words every few years…

        Correcto, I’m definitely not blaming anyone.

        But I do know walking around my home town on a Friday evening is not possible anymore.

        Whatever anyone says doesn’t change that.
