A spectre haunting Europe

Soon the senescent secular Europe will be overrun by Muslim immigrants and the unassimilated progeny of their oppressed, veiled women. They'll move in, have as many babies as a renegade Mormon living on welfare in Moab, take the public dole, and spend every night plotting the violent downfall of the foolish system that makes their conspiratorial leisure possible.

Right?

Uh, no.

Slightly more than 4 per cent of Europe's population is “Muslim,” as defined by demographers (though about 80 per cent of these people are not religiously observant, so they are better defined as secular citizens who have escaped religious nations).
In our putrid excuse for a national conversation, every time some fearful trope turns out to be a bullshit lie, it came from the right-wing propaganda machine.

FINALLY; an entire paragraph that is filled with the truth. It’s too bad you went off track after the first one.

Loyalty to the lie, that's what you wingnuts so often show. Is there any fact you can learn that disagrees with your prejudices?

If America is doomed to decline, that refusal to learn is the cause, not a black President nor a weak attempt to apply Keynesian economics to fix the predicted results of deregulation nor allowing gays to risk their lives for their country nor any other liberal progress to a better America.

Thanks for the link Toe. One of us here appreciates that sort of plain honesty. It was quite refreshing.

Why do tiny minorities make you guys quake in your boots with desperate existential fear? Why aren't crimes committed by members of tiny minorities simply a matter for law enforcemenet, as are crimes committed by members of huge majorities?

Comment removed because the only common thread was the resentment of an "oppressed" and delusional white guy against anyone different.
