They don't have to be demographically dominant to express intolerance. Apparently, they are willing to be taxed -- for the same reason the original natives were willing to be taxed -- to take advantage of the "social safety net" in their adopted country. They would, no doubt, love the fact that Dutch senior citizens must depend economically on them.
And do you really think that Muslim immigrants produce a net benefit to tax collections?
It doesn't matter what I personally think; it only matters what European tax collectors (and their governments) think. Apparently, THEY think that Muslim immigrants provide a net benefit -- at least in the short-term. Read some of the articles (or listen to some of the lectures on YouTube) of Israeli writer Bat Y'eor regarding the deals that were brokered between European governments and Arab/Muslim nations (basically, easy emigration in exchange for easy oil), and in which the demographic issue was well understood: both parties -- Arab-Muslims and Europeans -- explicitly used the term "Eurabia" to denote the sort of society and culture that would have to emerge in Europe as a result of these deals.
“Don’t come here. We don’t need any more people that are part of the problem. They support every Liberal cause and when it backfires on them they turn and run. They don’t have the guts to fight for what is theirs. They will just help bring the disease here.”
***You ignored “They support every Liberal cause and when it backfires on them they turn and run. They don’t have the guts to fight for what is theirs.”
“When you are an extreme minority in a country where the citizenry, police and government could give a damn about your safety.”
The European and American Jews have seen this problem before and and both have always taken the same route they don’t stand up to the aggressor they try to appease them. American Jews, as a whole, stand with and financially support those that would oppress or exterminate them while slapping those that have stood by them and Israel in the face time and time again. Why should anyone expect different behavior from this group if we take them in. American Jews yell loudly for every liberal cause that helps weaken this country and denigrate the Conservative Christians as being bigots and Anti-Semitic, when it themselves they really hate. I don’t know any American Christian that wants American Jews to get out of this country. Most would like to know that that some George Soros type want be the one saying they didn’t speak up until it was too late when the Communist and Muslims are exterminating everyone.
We are fighting for the survival of this country and accepting a group that history has proven may side with their own killers and or enemies is IMHO not justified. I support Israel and think it would be a wonderful place for them. If you don’t speak up you don’t know if there is any support or if people are just saying if you will not stand up for yourself why should I.
Where do you stand and with whom?
Net benefit to the European countries, or just net benefit to certain businesses that need to do business with Muslim countries? Do not assume that European governments operate with a view towards the interests of their common citizens, versus the interests of their elites.
Much of the diamond business in the world is done in Antwerp, Belgium. But isn’t there a lot done in Amsterdam, as well? If the Jews leave Netherlands do they take their businesses with them?
Thanks for the ping!
I would certainly never make that mistake. Nevertheless, European welfare states operate as democracies, meaning, their government elites —or some of them, at any rate — are subject to election by their citizens (who are divided up into special interest groups even more than they are in the U.S.).
Welfare states need lots of workers to pay lots of taxes to prop up the welfare-entitlement system. That obviously can’t be done in a culture in which the native citizens don’t marry, don’t have babies, and terminate most of their pregnancies in abortion. Clearly, to stay in power, the elites need a special-interest group that makes lots of babies. Muslims fit the bill.
Even jaded European governments can only do so much by means of inflation. They still need lots of young workers able to pay lots of taxes.
The only difference between the old Nazis and TROP bunch are the filthy nightshirts of the latter..
NO they should FIGHT, FIGHT YOU DUTCH wussies! Do what’s right not what’s...I mean, grrRRRR oh hell, they’ll cave dang it. if everyone leaves what does that show but that evil prevails because good people DO NOTHING GRRRRR I’m angered at this.
Tolerance is the virtue of believing in nothing.
Christians are high - and already on their list. P>Ill winds blowing and pathetically sad, the response of the civilized world to what is a gathering tsunami.
( Would like to see those Jews who defend radical Muslims here; including the 'Hollywood elite' and non-elite for that matter, respond to what is happening in the Netherlands. Of course, they would probably blame 'their own', if ever, asked to explain. Many more, simply clueless and they prefer it that way.)
