I was trying to lighten the mood you obviously don't want to. That's up to you. I do talk to my muslim friends and they are frightened as I have already stated in other posts. They are worried and concerned. They don't think we should be letting all these people in without knowing anything about them. They think it is dangerous. So far from reassure me, they feel the same!a reply to: beansidhe

The UK is taking Syrians directly from refugee camps, one thing that I find myself agreeing with David Cameron about. What is it you're concerned about specifically? That the 'wrong' people are getting in? Healthy ones? How dare they be healthy.
The news made me angry, watching thousands of people men, women and children WALKING across Europe to find a place of safety.

Yes, the refugees could empathise with you there, I'm sure. You know that most of them want to go home, don't you?
That's the bit I struggle with. Because for all the rhetoric about dissolving communities and lack of resources - look to the Tories for that, not refugees - there is the same underlying message. We don't like Muslims.
I don't necessarily see racism there, but I do see snobbery. 'They' are different, 'they' are not like us. Well, they are like us. We're related. We're all human.
There is a massive problem with the influx into Europe, I'll happily concede that. What I won't be drawn into is hating someone because of their religion.

I wonder if they will seek Christian refugees and Kurd refugees?
To counter act the muslims in society from the same culture should they seek to dominate,a balance.

You know, lots of Muslim men are a bit rapey. And British men. And American men. And lots of other types too.
# it, let's just ban men - problem solved.

You make me sick. Really perturbed right now with your comments. Here, choke on this:

THIS is their CULTURE. Are you a feminist or aren't you? Where's your outrage? Pathetic, spineless inexcusable cowardice of a woman. And here I am, a man, defending the rights of women while you sarcastically blame all Western men instead of a cultural difference. Argh. I spit on the floor in response to you.
