At no point did I or I think anyone in this thread say it would be a choice to kick existing Muslim citizens out of a country, as that is wrong. The countries that gave them citizenship cannot and should not go back on that.
My question was why accept more Muslims.
I am not a french citizen. I am a turkish citizen, I work in france and plan to apply for citizenship.
It is besides the point too. There will be more people like me in the future. Who are highly qualified, some of them atheists or agnostics. And your idea of not letting new muslims into europe, will block these people also.
You have a naivity about the reality of war. As an example look at the Spanish Civil War. A man walked into a village and was asked "Are you a Catholic, or a Communist?" If you answered the wrong way, you got shot. If you answered the right way, you were enlisted in that side's army.
That's the way it is. All you'll get for your nuanced intellectual talk is a boot in the face.
"Europe is smarter, wiser and more tolerant now."
No, it does seem they are totally stupid fucks.
....Racism actually is not necessarily a problem in itself. But europe has had experience with it, and has decided to never practice it again. Because it doesn't work, and it causes massive social issues. I think the institutional policy against racism is part of the effort to not go down that road again.
Actually no, the evidence is of continual and rising anti-Semitism in Europe. Who are you to say there is "an effort to not go down that road again?"
