Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.

So do you think raiding every single home in a Muslim community will improve relations between Muslims and non-Muslims, or do you think it would make things worse? It seems like this is more anger-signaling than a well thought-out proposal, to be honest.

I think there is probable cause that they are aiding and abetting terrorists, therefore police should conduct the necessary investigations to gather more proof.

The funny thing is that fear and hatred towards Muslims population is exactly what the far right wants too. And they probably think it's so nice that some some member of that their targeted population are actively helping them by resorting to blind violence.

you're right, there's no such thing as cultural or religious inequality. It's a simplification, as is yours.

It's quite obvious you have no idea what the actual causes are and are just spinning your wheels.

Just look at the 9 11 attackers, none of the things you are talking about held true there so there's obviously more issues at play here.

It's ok to be wrong, but you need to do done more research in this area friend.

How do you figure out who should have known something but said nothing. Proving that some had reasonable knowledge that someone was sheltering a wanted terrorist is not going to be easiest thing to prove barring some specific evidence against individuals (which would by no means cover everyone who kept their head down and ignored what was going on)

What are you going to do - prosecute everyone within a square mile cause they might have seen him?

put bluntly, your arguments don't hold. I'm confident in my reading of sociology, inequality is an indicator of violence, and attempts to deny this are just a nicer-framed argument that's still on the level of gaussian's nonsense. You can cite 9/11 as if anecdotes are of value to the world, I can respond with the entire history of Ireland.

This would be a lot more cogent of an argument if non-white minorities weren't frequently treated like second-class citizens in a lot of Western Europe. That sort of poo poo makes recruitment by terrorist groups a lot easier.
