I was surrounded in Rotterdam by a group of youths and almost got robbed. It was the same sort of folks who lived in the Bans Lieu in France. Basically, I’m sorry it’s not woke or politically correct to admit it, but the majority of problems are attributed to culture clash between migrants who are angry and refuse to assimilate. Even like 3rd generation. This isn’t “deprived youths in the poor areas” as the main pooblem. It’s simply a refusal or a disdain to adopt the liberal views of their host country. I get why Geert won. I’m sorry it’s so hard for people to just say it plainly. People need to fcking assimilate or stop migrating to western countries from places with backwards values.[/quote]

NP. I posted this on a different thread a whole ago and it got deleted,  but I'll try again. I was pretty pro-immigration at the start of the Syria conflict, and while in Germany to visit family, I met with some recent immigrant women from Afghanistan and Syria to provide charity and have tea.  I was absolutely floored by what they said to me and it really changed my views. They said they hated Germany, didn't want their kids to grow up in the culture, wish they didn't have to be there. I asked why they came to Germany and in short, it was a safe place for their kids and they were able to get a spot. The Syrian lady seemed dismayed that her daughter was taking so well to Germany, playing sport, taking science and math classes, etc. I asked if they had tried to integrate and they said no because of language barriers and practical challenges (child care, etc).   They said no one had ever visited them but the social worker, I was the first person to just ask to meet them. And the social worker was really tone deaf, she tried to make fun of them to me by saying one had told her that she would stay with her husband if he took another wife.  This is not a good situation, anyone who is looking at Europe with clear eyes sees a tinderbox. I mean, look at Sweden right now, it's a violent mess.  [/quote]

Thank you.  You are absolutely right.  Be prepared for the resident LWNJs to call you an "Islamaphobe" and/or racist.  Many of these immigrants HATE the western countries they've been allowed to move to, and will never, ever assimilate to western culture.  So why aren't more middle eastern countries stepping up and taking them in?  Why move to a country you hate?[/quote]

This sentiment exists in the US as well. My job puts me in contact with a lot of young adults who are first- or second-generation immigrants from Middle Eastern countries, mostly Iran and Afghanistan. When gender identity and sexual orientation came up in a discussion, one of them expressed clear disapproval of LGBTQ rights and said something like "this is why a lot of young people [referring to fellow Muslims] don't want to raise their kids in the West". Maybe some of these young adults will move (back) to predominantly Muslim countries. I am sure some of them want to assimilate and have kids who see themselves as American, but we are fooling ourselves if we think that there are not some who have complete disdain for our values and culture.[/quote]
NP.  There’s that city in Michigan that after achieving an all-Muslim council outlawed flying the Pride Flag on public property in June.  They even sacked public employees attempting to violate the ordinance.  Nonmuslim residents of the city said the council members betrayed their good will.[/quote]
