Are immigrants more likely to become terrorists?

in politics •  7 years ago 

Christianity at certain stages tried to spread its influence using force and terror. The Inquisition is an example of this stage - Crusades, struggle against heretics, conquistadors. Islam is the youngest religion of the above mentioned, so a propensity for terror can be part of its evolution, but not its essence.

Perfect. Let's continue your explanation. I'll give you one more example - it involves the white man being guilty, so you should be pleased.

Europeans arriving to America in the 16th & 17th century and wiping out the natives almost entirely (mostly due to diseases that they brought). And a similar story for Australia.

What's the conclusion of all those examples (both yours and mine)? It's this: things like religion or immigration can go horribly wrong. The unknown can sometimes be beneficial but sometimes it can be disastrous. People have evolved to be afraid. And fear plays an important role: those who were not afraid enough did not survive.

During the Inquisition - did the Muslim people set out immigration polices and invite the Europeans to live among them? I guess they were wise enough not to do that. They were scared and it was for a good reason.

So why are you so eager to "explain" one side of the story and dismiss the other? Why don't you explain the validity of fear of foreigners? Instead of shaming those who feel it and dismissing them as uneducated bigots.

Well, it is not a pleasure for me to blame any man for anything just because of his religion or color differ ( including whites and cristians). And I dont consider any scared person to be uneducated bigot. But this approach when any foreign muslim is concidered to be potential terrorist really humper to the process of naturalisation / assimilation. You ask why I dont want explain the right to fear - because in my humble opinion, fear can help someone to survive, but can not solve his problem.

You guys seem to be completely detached from the reality outside your brain. You just live in a theoretical fairy-tale where everyone is a teddy bear.

Every human being has a potential to be a dangerous monster. In order to be good first you need to confront your shadow, or your evil side.

Fear is an essential part of you. It keeps you alert. When someone wants to hurt you, you need to watch out, not "solve problems".

This explains nicely why Muslims want to migrate to Europe so badly. Because they think we are quite naive. And unfortunately, in most cases they are right.

) It was really good about teddy bear and fairy tale.))
But I think it is to late to fear, EU should had been feared when developed immigration rules. Now it is time to solve the problem. I have not been in europe about ten years. And unfortunatly I have seen big difference beetween 2008 and 2017.
