I'm all for discussing the present situation in Europe and am glad to read that at least somebody is somewhat ready to accept that the situation of France's suburbs isn't representative for the entire continent.
However I can't stand the high-horse attitude and tendency to generalise of some Americans here. If you found the perfect immigration policy, why are your politicians about to throw $7 bn at an ineffective solution for an inexistant problem?
The population statistics and the fertility rate are something interesting for sure, but you can't just linearly extrapolate the tendency for long term predictions. Maybe future immigration laws will affect the immigration rate. Maybe Europeans are going to have more infants again. Maybe the continent will get emptier and older instead of younger or muslim. Who knows? To think of the religion issue as some kind of breeding contest means just seeing one of many factors. Uhm, with linear extrapolation even the whites in the US will be outnumbered by Mexicans some day.
Then there's much fragmentary knowledge or deliberate disinformation in this and similar threads. P.e. the success of the nationalistic German party was exaggerated. The NPD has seats in 2 of 16 regional parliaments, none on the national level and doesn't participate in any German government. All this isn't rocket science but could've been verified in a few minutes in the internet (
Link). Also the German system in general favors a bigger diversity in parties so the Germans don't have to just pick either the "D"s or the "R"s.
But the highlights this time are our professional genocideologist and Euro-soul-searcher who talks about genocides, of which the first and the sixth are well handled by the societies and the science of history, the second was executed by "Muzzies", what's meant with the third is unclear to me, the fourth was an African issue with marginal international involvement and the fifth didn't even happen. Oh and the other user who speculates about mass-deportation without elaborating whereto exactly 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants should be sent, aside from the general implausibility that this could ever happen.
Yes, it bugs me when users who hardly can name two other current political issues in continental Europe think that they have a friggin crystal ball in their pocket. And if you confuse immigration issues with a pissing contest, well feel free to get excited of the supposedly inevitable downfall of Europe but don't expect me to discuss with you any longer.
