They may all agree that we should have stricter immigration policies, but that's not what you said. You said that the far right, implying every single member of a far right party, was white, Christian and racist, you prove your own ridiculous claim because, despite that fact that it would be very simple, I don't want to waste my time disproving you.
Oh, no - I know there are a lot of people that aren't Christian, nor white, and despite that, buy in their propaganda. And I'm sure somewhere there must be someone who actually believes that letting boats sink to deter Lybians and Syrians from leaving their countries
is a sound tactic. But the bulk of the people who support this kind of strategies is white, Christian, and
very vocal about it. The leaders of the European far-right parties are all ChristianWhite™ down to their core. They're the kind of people who once insulted a certain group of downtrodden people, and now are looking at their support in curbstomping the rights of a new group who appeared beneath them.
And we're not talking about immigration policies, we're talking about refugees.
Helping them where they live, as one such leader, one Matteo Salvini, is fond of saying, won't cut it. Unless they plan to WOLOLOLOLO the factions involved in brutal and often sectarian conflicts in those areas into cooperation.
They may sound like they're using their logic to come up with their solutions. But they
don't. And the moment we buy again in the kind of propaganda that devalues human lives in such a way, we're at a grave danger. Movements like the Italian Lega Nord or the French Front National or the German PEGIDA are trying to construct a threat only to cash on it when election day comes. What they'll do is further their agenda - and I think you will find plenty of leads on what that agenda may entail.
But just to make my message clear...
This is the (ex)leader of the PEGIDA movement,
Lutz Bachmann. The highlights of his life, and short-lived political career?
- Has a criminal record for sixteen burglaries, trafficking cocaine, assault and drunk driving - he fled to South Africa, but was quickly deported back to Germany;
- He posted a photo of a man wearing the uniform of the US white supremacist organisation Ku Klux Klan accompanied by the slogan: "Three Ks a day keeps the minorities away";
- He insulted asylum-seekers on Facebook calling them "scumbags", "stupid cows" and "trash" when the Dresden Prosecution started investigations on his nifty Hitlerstache.
Totally
not a racist, and totally trust-worthy.
P.S: in the future, take my generalizations with a grain of salt. Of course there are people of
diverse origins supporting this kind of movements. There were Zionist Jews supporting the NSDAP in its early days (back when its anti-Semitism was somewhat sugarcoated with the promise of a "new land for the
Juden"), after all. But they are one in a million rather than the normality, and they must renounce their cultural and religious roots (like
Magdi Cristiano Allam or Toni Iwobi, to cite two prominent Italian examples). And they're always sort of second-class members (like
Sandy Cane, who quit with Lega Nord after being pushed aside when her party, Lega Nord, shifted their focus from localism to racist nationalism).
And to make a long post even longer...
I was presenting historical context to the discussion, so there is no need to insult me in the process.
As with any mad man, ISIS would demand world domination. But unlike them, they really want religious domination. Ignoring that aspect of their motivations would be paramount to suicide. I don't care if you are Roman Catholic, Greek or Russian Orthodox, or even Baptist like I am. They are killers, and they will kill you for some perceived slight, even being a Christian chief among them.
I didn't want to come off as insulting. I was simply trying to underline how historical maps are quite insignificant. To provide further context: there has been an attempt, in the 20-40s, to set the clock back to 117 CE. The man behind this attempt was one Benito Mussolini. He was the kind of man who sent his thirty tanks to parade in Naples one day, then had them loaded on a special train and got them delivered to Rome, where they paraded again...
And ended up believing he had sixty tanks (now, this is an old joke that I think is false, but that fits the character well).
To cut to the cheese, he got his ass handed by France, Greece, and
managed to get 20,000 men killed in Ethiopia, against an army commanded by Rastafari Jesus. Italy lost WWII in 1943, setting what must be some sort of record in the process, and he ended up hanging upside down with more holes in his body than a colander. And if it wasn't for the Marshall Plan's aids, we'd still be a smoldering ruin.
Likewise, the ISIS can demand world domination as much as they want and threat people that don't conform to their logic as much as much as they want. I am not ignoring their motivations, I am however considering their numbers and offensive capabilities (which are
laughable - they got 20,000 militiamen armed with old Kalashnikov and some stolen artillery piece for which they can't produce munitions; most of them are in it only for the money).
It'd be like being worried for North Korea's incessant threats (which by the way haven't stopped - we're simply ignoring them because we now got a bigger boogeyman to keep us awake at night). They
can talk the talk, but they can't walk the walk, not one step of it, without getting bombed back to the Bronze Age.
I was giving you a breakdown of British Asians, of which British Indians are the largest demographic.
