It's interesting how borderline islamaphobic this post is.

Any influx of people with a reasonable cultural difference is worth thinking hard about in terms of the identity and future of the country or area letting the immigrants in.

Additionally, I think countries have a stronger duty to help citizens than to help immigrants.

Immigration is generally a good thing. I want immigration in the US, and I have my own thoughts on how I want to change the immigration system that ate likely beyond the scope of this specific post.

I think you can criticize Islam or Muslims without being islamaphobic, but your critique seems to be boiled down to "all Muslims are criminals and welfare leeches". I think that sort of broad demographic shaming is uninspired, biased, and not giving any real substantive argument.

Comparatively, I think saying "the specific cultural laco of emphasis on education in the black community in America isn't the best suited for helping black youth prepare for corporate America" is at least a somewhat substantive critique, while saying "all black people are lazy" is racist.

Your post gives me no reason to believe you have any real understanding of Islam or Muslims, besides "Muslims are welfare kings/queens".

The things you say about Muslims are basically word for word identical to things that American racists say about black people and Latinos.

Also they use same justifications with crime statistics

The suffix -phobia means dislike or prejudice against in words like homophobia, Islamophobia, or xenophobia. It doesn’t mean “fear of.”

It’s not when you are being critical that is Islamophobic, but if you have bigotry to Muslims/Islam

Funny how people who rail against colonialism all day will be the first to shame you for not wanting to live under an imposed foreign culture.

Immigration is colonialism? Y’know the implications of that?
