Immigrants (muslims non muslims mean nothing) do cause more crime. But that means nothing and is easily explained.
The question is to address the problem not to overkill.

Heh, first time I hear it...

Nope. There is no basis for that. No studies support it.


And again you have to take into account each country, its history, its relations with other countries....


This is a big subject that can't be contained in a general argument.

fact is these people are anti-immigration. Period. It's just that the largest waves of immigration are muslims. that's as far as it goes.

you've apparently misunderstood me completely.

It's not my opinion. It's the opinion that people around here have about Le Pen. I don't think that he thinks that muslims are especially criminalistic, I think he thinks this way about all imigrants.

and I don't think that north african muslims are the majority of the immigrants to france.

The jews in france haven't mostly lived there for ages. The Nazis took care of them . the ones there are people that immigrated in the 50s from northen Africa, leaving the new-born Arab countries.

They are against all immigrants. Turks and Algerians are the largest immigrant groups in these countries and they happen to be muslim. In Belgium is the marocans.
Besides neo nazi attacks have happened in many other peoples who are not muslim in Germany. (including Greeks and Italians and in Sweden against Yugoslavs and people from eastern Europe) etc etc etc etc

well , in no war with Egypt was Israel superior to it technologically. esp. in 73. Both Syria and Egypt outnumbered and had similar if not favourable techs there.

(waits for pointless bragging about soviet tech being lame. )

Again, I tell you, AFAIK (and I'm not an expert on the issue) they are against immigration. Just happens that most immigrants are of muslim religion and it seems they are against muslims.


The only far right wing anti - muslim party is AFAIK in the Netherlands. (its leader is gay and he is pissed muslim religion doesn't accept him... )

I say that he points his criticism not because they're muslims but because they're immigrants. you could also see him bashing other immigrants.

About who are we talking then?

Do you think they are clear cut disctinctions in Europe?

There's only one (and I know I'm being a "heretic" for saying that but I believe that hiding the truth and pretent it doesn't exist is the worst thing one can do) and that is between North and South Europe.

Different people, different mentalities, different problems.
I'm sorry if I'm busting our sweet EU dream, the truth be told.

True some countries have more problems with Neo - Nazis and right wing.
The hot spots remain Germany, Austria and Scandinavia and to a lesser extend Britain. (As far as the EU is conscerned)

Countries where walking at night can get you beaten up or killed just because you are not the "correct" shade of color.

Not in Greece. Not in most South Europe.

I think you are wrong to confuse this with hatred against muslims. It is typical northern white racism. The one I got busted for mentioning here once.


In short, these people are against immigration in general and in particular from people that are not like themselves.
Muslims, non muslims makes little difference.

As long as they are "stealing their jobs and their health security" (and in more severe cases) "polluting their cities and race" they are the enemy.

Turks are 4 million in Germany.

Once a Greek restaurant owner was attacked by some Neo Nazis.

The people who came at his rescue were turks...

Where's your claim about religion now Imran?

First of all, I'd like to say I'm French, and I'm ashamed of my country. I often bash other countries (Israel electing Sharon, Italy electing Berlusconi, USA electing Dubya...), but today, it's time to me to face the truth : we need to be ashamed as much as any other countries.
Our choice at the second turn is between an absolute crook who betrays the interests of France and a porky fascist. Chirac will get elected at 80% or so, because he's a republican, and most left-winged voters and right-wing will vote against fascism. I hate Chirac, but I always told I'd vote for him i he's the only wall against fascism. And I'll do. I'll vote without hesitation for this crook. Because I don't want my country, which fancies calling itself "the Country of Rights of Man" being led by a fascist. Because I don't want people abroad to see us as more fascist as we are.
A President in France is the one incarnating the Nation... I won't allow France to support Le Pen.

Don't you want to see something done about crime? About employment?



Le Pen isn't against the immigrants themselves (ie, he isn't a racist), but he is against immigration. Big difference.

Without such a pandering to political correctness, France will be able to deal more effectively with crime (with the acknowledgement that minorities do commit more crime). Etc etc.
