It baffles me when Muslim immigrants choose to go to Europe because they hate their country so much, and then get angry because Euope isn't their country. There must not be an Arabic tranlation for "beggers can't be choosers." Seriously, how can people who have experienced war and destruction and sacrificed everything for their own safety and the safety of their families be so offended by such dumb bullshit? Like when Brian Eno had to un-release one of his tracks because it had a part of the Qur'an in it. That's the sort of thing that even the most extreme first-world SJWs would have a hard time being offended by, and third-world immigrants surely must have bigger problems than that. You don't see Tibetan refugees in India protesting and refusing aid because they're being helped by Sikhs instead of Buddhists. That's just unbelievable. If you go to someone for help because nobody else wants to help you, you shouldn't expect them to change their entire culture and society just for your own comfort.

Cops are like "So WTF do we do now?"

They aren't even in their destination country (which they always claim to hate) and they are already imposing their laws.

It's hard not to see these types of things as an affront to our own values.

perhaps the people in this video were being picky because they weren't in extreme need for food. i'm sure if they badly needed it they would have taken it.

also i don't think their religion had anything to do with this. i bet any muslim would eat haram food if it was a matter of life and death.

I agree. Then the conclusion to draw is that these people are economic migrants, not refugees, and should be refused passage. No?

(Obviously that's a broad statement, I don't mean that NONE of these people are fleeing really shitty circumstances)

after giving it a second thought, if they really needed this food they would have eaten the halal stuff and put the haram stuff aside. islam had nothing to do with this.

pretty much looks like so.

This is not the only video I'm seeing that is making me mad. There are videos of migrants in hungary chanting "Fuck you" and "allahu akbar", stories of them throwing shit (actual human shit) at german authorities, and beating up an old lady in italy. The old lady was ripped out of her car by a bunch of young men, stealing her car so they could drive up to Germany.

It's a one and a half minute video. obviously we're not getting the whole story here.

Wowowow I have a new appreciation for the Salvadorans next door.

Can we please not turn this place into stormfront lite.

Me?

lol why are you equating distaste for seeing economic migrants acting in this manner to a neo-nazi site? That's quite the uh... comparison.

I'm actually surprised there is no thread on this particular crisis =/

Dirty poor people crossing your borders are an FWP nonpareil.

this is just like a BBQ i had the other day where i invited some Jewish friends, we only had pork sausages and of course they wouldn't eat it.

if they were really hungry surely they would have had a bite right? but no they didn't, this is exactly like this issue.

on a more serious note, i disagree with everyone on this page's views about the refugee crisis.

however i am way to busy to argue with you guys about it, here is a link instead.

lol if you can't see the difference between refusing pork at an invitational entertaining fun happy time bbq due to religious beliefs, and this situation then I don't even know what to say

such an incredibly false parallel.. I don't even....

Your assumption that they are economic migrants is what's distasteful.

There is a red crescent precisely for this reason. This was a bureaucratic mistake.

Please keep the politics discussion somewhere else come on, this isn't the thread for that

my current fwp is I really fucked up the last semester of college and I might have just set myself back a whole year

Nonsense.

It's not an assumption. Look at the hundreds of videos online of these people stampeding, robbing stores, throwing feces at people, and treating Hungarians like shit. Migrant or refugee, the title doesn't really matter when you're acting like that.

Take it up in another thread I guess, as tsg said this isn't the one to do it in.

failing a fuckload of courses lel, was doing just fine, getting grades in the 5-7 out of 10 range till last semester, when I had a couple personal problems (nothing really important but I'm a bit of a pussy) and failed way too many courses. Lesson learned though, this was a nice wake up call
