We got Immortan spewing poo poo out like Donald Trump does on a nightly basis (albeit on different ethnicites). Better me to curtail any suggestions of genocide before it happens.

And I love how when someone suggests not letting the leading country for funding fundamentalist Islam fund mosques in Europe they're shut down with "you're just a western totalitarianist" as a response.

Similarly, "Sinestro", you have a very strange, warped understanding of communication and language, wherein context is a fake idea, possibly from the bad social media website.

Actually, given the number of people arguing that liberalism is incapable of dealing with the evils of Muslims, both here and elsewhere, the "pseudo-social justice" would be in facilitating the fascists looking for Jews 2.0 to gas in camps.

Many of the ones who are coming to europe are fleeing sectarian conflicts and political violence instigated and fought by fundamentalist muslims in said underdeveloped countries. I hardly think they'd be enchanted with the malignant ideologies that drove them from their homes and killed their families in the first place. Generally if you're fleeing from war, famine, pestilence and death, you don't immediately set about reproducing the circumstances that created it before in your new, safe and relatively comfortable home.

I think you're sort of missing my point. These are people who seem to actually want to stay alive and not get involved in said extremist shitfights. That they're taking no sides in the conflict and not actively participating in the fighting suggests to me that they don't belong to the belligerent extremist groups doing the fighting or they would likely be staying put.

EDIT: VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Surely the point of secular, liberal society is that people may hold political and religious views you disagree with, right? Supporting sharia law (a civil framework of islamic jurisprudence that is admittedly reactionary but does not necessarily incorporate criminal law) is an entirely legitimate political position, however much we disagree with it.

It's mostly the conception of the rule of law that's the issue. Salafi groups are incredibly widespread in the Sunni parts of the middle east, and support for Sharia law is present among French muslims.

No, because the people from the poorest and least developed parts of the Islamic world do not actually have the funds to afford to move to Europe.

You're looking at 4000€ or more to cross the Mediterranean Sea on an overloaded piece of junk that was meant to have been scrapped 50 years ago (and risk drowning when it inevitably capsizes). Most of the migrants from Muslim countries in Europe are from Turkey (Germany), Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia (France), India and Pakistan (UK).

"Conception of the rule of law" is not an issue of secularism, first of all. Second of all, your second sentence begins with a non-sequitur and concludes with a statement that requires clarification. Do they want Shari'a to replace secular law, coexist with secular law, or do they just want to be able to have Muslim marriages? What degree of coexistence? What is their understanding of Shari'a? Jumping immediately to "French Muslims all are rapists who want to cut people's hands off" is a sign you're a huge racist, and merely implying it just leaves your racism at ordinary size.

So far the actual threats to and rollback of liberal values in Europe have been 100% from nativist far-right movements, which makes it hilarious that people keep insisting that the Muslims will begin working to implement Sharia law and no-go zones the instant they set foot on pure white Christian soil, despite basically no examples of this being a thing.

Most refugees in Germany are going to Christian churches to try and assimilate into German culture. They buy Dortmund and Bayern poo poo to wear around to show pride in their new home. But you really think they're going to bring Islamic extremism to Europe? Most of you talking don't have the slightest idea what these people are like. They're fleeing to get away from violence and hard times. They're not going to show up in Europe and immediately try to make life difficult for themselves by demanding sharia law or w/e. They just want to live their lives. And the second generation will be raised in Europe and will be westernized just like basically every other second generation Muslim in the west. These fears are based on ignorance, nothing else.

This is getting a bit mean so I will spell it out.

Many immigrants to the west from non-western countries hold beliefs not in the mainstream of western liberalism. This is not news, nor is it especially alarming. Many natives of western countries hold beliefs not in the mainstream of western liberalism.

To get from these trivial points to 'we will be destroyed by the [ethnicity] menace' requires 1. stereotyping and exaggeration of the immigrant group (racism), 2. a belief that the immigrant group is inherently different from other humans and cannot become a normalised part of society (racism) and 3. projection of transient demographic trends forward over several decades (stupid bullshit).

These are not new arguments, they are very old, and everyone is well used to swatting them down. This is why people are making fun of them rather than engaging bright-eyed with the nth person to walk into the evolutionary biology thread to talk about what they saw at the Creation Museum.
