Further, you are living in a world devoid of reality if you think only white Americans support trump.
The poster I was replying to said, "Most of these people have absolutely no intention of assimilating". This is what I was specifically addressing. When arguments are made from ignorance you end up way off the mark.

And no, I don't think "only" white Americans support Trump. This statement proves you didn't even remotely understand what I typed. Having this stance would put me in the same boat as the poster I'm addressing...

LOL... Wow...

Unfortunately in this case immigration looks more like an invasion.


In the past immigrants came to countries for a better life and assimilated into the culture of that country. The groups that want sharia law want us to assimilate to their way of life. This will not end well.

What evidence are you aware of that would make you believe otherwise?

There are millions of them scattered throughout Europe and it is simply a fact that "most of them have no intention of assimilating".

That isn't groundbreaking news by any stretch of the imagination.
Almost mind blowing that you would attempt to contest something so obvious.

the problem is that you fight the generalization of muslims, but avoid addressing the horrific incidents occured even with camera on. there are reasonable muslims in that show, and they face tremendous backlash precisely because of these horrific acts. Avoding to address these problems makes the life of a peaceful muslim that much harder in an already tense Europe.

are there trump supporter communities who would throw rocks at pedestrians, block ambulances, beat you to the ground? i bet most liberals would not expect their conservative neighbor to throw iphones at their heads or run their child to the ditch. they wouldn't even expect it. in a sense, you are spoiled and you haven't seen the real world yet. but unfortunately, it'll be more of a common sight in Europe.

the liberal view today completely privileges the white people, espeically the white male, by applying grown up standards to them, all the while applying lesser standards to an "other" group like muslims.

Good analogy, but there are only a few wolves among them. The rest just support them.

How is your suggestion that most of the these people DO intent to assimilate not out of ignorance?
Have you read any report/studies, from a unbiased source, which prove that they intent to assimilate?

Further, what benefit do you think they would bring to the American society/economy?
If they are being violent in Cologne, in Molenbeek, in Calais and in Stockholm; what makes you think they will integrate here?

I've been to both Europe and the Middle East and I've talked to people and seen things with my own eyes. Some people want to integrate while others do not.

Yes, because ethnic, racial, and religious generalizations done by conservatives tend to be wrong and based off stereotypes. Proof in point...

As for Trump and his supporters; the international community has voiced horror at how nationalistic bigotry can infest American major politics.
