I think your view of immigrants is much too narrow. You, as a Humanist, don't see the common humanity of us all?

I do recognize the immigration problems in Europe. But I attribute those problems to too much xenophobic thinking on both sides, such as what you just expressed and not enough Humanistic thinking.

According to your line of thinking, everyone not aboriginal should assimilate to the aboriginal culture. Are you ready for that?

@dare2dream Explain how promotion of integration and assimilation of immigrants is xenophobic and not Humanistic.

@dare2dream

@PBuck0145: The reason multiculturalism seems to be failing in Europe is because of xenophobia. If both migrants and natives were less xenophobic, multiculturalism would work.

All humans have a right to celebrate their culture. Our human rights go with us where ever we are from.

Humanists see the unity, the commonality of all humans. To put nativism first is divisive and factionalizes us.

@dare2dream
Your statements would be correct were it not for Islam. Islam mandates that it the only correct ideology, religion, and culture. Members of other cultures must be converted, subjugated or executed. This gives Islam an evolutionary advantage over humanistic ideologies. Islam's advantage is enhanced by the tolerance and encouragement of the regressive left.

Multiculturalism, open societies and globalism are elegant philosophical theories, but cannot benefit humanity while the existence of Islam persists.

Think carefully before assuming that these statements are bigoted or xenophobic. Islam is not human. I am objecting to Islam, not to ts followers, who are betrayed, oppressed and enslaved by the ideology. They would be much better off assimilating into a more secular and/or humanitarian culture.

Where are you originally from?
