REPLY TO 'THE REAL ONE'

Sorry, Real One, but you seem to have confused several different issues into your convoluted perspective of what is 'really' going on here. The issue of mass migration into and out of Europe cannot be reduced to a matter of economic opportunism. There are cultural issues involved that have little or nothing to do with money. If educated Muslims from the Middle East were simply seeking economic opportunity they would travel no further than Kuwait, Dubai, the United Arab Emerites, or Saudi Arabia for work, as these are, per capita, the wealthiest nations on Earth. But what we see migrating to Europe are hordes of leeching, uneducated, uncivilized Islamic radicals who are hell-bent on not only milking European welfare states for all they are worth but in ultimately converting these host countries into Islamic ghettos like the places they left behind.

And what we are seeing on the opposite end of the equation are a lot of formerly well-meaning Europeans who are realizing the depth and breath of their enormous socio-political mistake of the past two decades. Their smug assertion that accepting an unlimited, unrestrained level of 'multi-culturalism' was an innately good and sound concept has blown up in their faces like a left-over land mine from Nazi Germany. Now they are running scared and fleeing 'Eurabia' any which way they can. And they are not fleeing their ancestral homelands for economic opportunity but for cultural civility. These are largely affluent Europeans who are simply disgusted with the cultural pollution they see all around them at home. Having given up on their own leaders and their own governments to do anything about it, they have chosen to migrate elsewhere.

All of which should serve as a warning to we in the nations they are fleeing to. If we don't want to become Astralislamia or Saudi America we'd better pay heed to the plight of Europe and shut the door on Islamic immigration NOW !
