@helensmith6670 I told you, with 27% you can talk to ten MILLION Canadians before you meet someone who is against it. Do you read what I'm saying? Ten MILLION. Not a majority, but definitely a whole lot. There are countries in Europe with populations smaller than that.
I think you do make excellent points and I definitely agree on them. But there is one thing I have a problem with, of all the immigrants coming here, it's not the Indians I'm worried about. It's third world North African and Middle-eastern immigrants, especially muslims. If there is ANY demographic that is notorious for not integrating, it's muslims and Europe is the perfect example of that. Because it worked out so well for them, right? Not. They will always stay within their own group, they choose sharia above Canadian law and their mentality just isn't compatible with western values. They're the ones who will create their own enclaves and pose a concern. It's not a very popular opinion amongst Canadians, but I 100% support a Trump-style muslim travel ban for Canada. They just don't belong here. Unfortunately, many people I know who agree are usually hardcore conservative nutjobs who are on the opposite side of the political extreme.
And I'm really not sure if this will revive the Canadian economy. In the last few years we brought in more than a million immigrants and the labour shortage is only getting worse. So I think this mass immigration isn't going to do ANYTHING positive. Somewhere the government went wrong but they keep pressing ahead anyway. I think it's better if we do it like Japan and start focusing on automation instead.

@lilo7741 The UNHCR put the number of refugees in Turkey at 4+ million, still a lot but that's half of the number you gave. Internal documents with the Turkish military show that it maintains profiles of officers based on their religious beliefs and ethnic background. Non-Muslims and ethnic minorities receive negative endorsements and are much less likely to be promoted. The documents came to light through Nordic Monitor, a project of a journalist who fled Turkey, Abdullah Bozkurt. They prove that Turkey, a NATO country, discriminates systematically and illegally. According to Bozkurt, there were already few non-Muslims or officers from an ethnic minority in the Turkish army anyway. They are already being refused application and screening, he claims. Those who do get past that often hide their background for fear of discrimination.
In the run-up to the commemoration of the Armenian Genocide on April 24, the week before a door of an Armenian school in Istanbul was defaced with a swastika. Around this period, there are often such provocations in the country, but also in other places in the world where migrants from both groups live.
Also during the corona pandemic and the war in Nagorno-Karabakh, hatred against Armenian Christians in Turkey increased. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in a speech called the Armenians in his country "leftover remnants of the sword". He was referring to the relatives of Armenians who survived the genocide.
Also, the transformation of Istanbul's beautiful Chora Church of the Holy Saviour, merged into a swelling stream of Turkish Christian churches being confiscated, shuttered, torn down, or converted into mosques.
You are a liar and you know it.

@nippolitica You apparently missed the part where I said you're not talking to someone you can manipulate. You're not 40 and you haven't spent your adult like in Japan. Your Ainu-Ryuukyuu argument is absolutely groundless. For one, even the highest estimate of the Ainu population stands at roughly twohundred thousand with the Ryuukyuu staying below the 2 million mark. That's on a population of more than 120 million people. And the near-total assimilation of the Ainu into Japanese society has resulted in many individuals of Ainu descent having no knowledge of their ancestry.
And Ryukyuans aren't even recognized as a minority group in Japan since Japanese authorities consider them a subgroup of the Japanese people and are considered an ethnolinguistic group. You know what that means? Two different groups having so much in common, they're essentially recognized as the same thing. This isn't comparable to countries like Germany or France who imported millions of people from non-western countries with vastly different cultures and perspectives on women's rights, gender or ethnic minorities, religion, education, economy, healthcare and the list goes on. Plus, 98 per cent of Japanese people are considered to be from the Yamato people. One more time, this is NOT comparible to meltingpots like Germany, France or the UK.

@schrenk-d It really doesn't. Islamic cultures have been in the west for about 80 years now and it's only getting worse. Studies even show that muslims are becoming even more conservative, even if they grew up in relatively liberal families. Not to mention that they clash with locals in countries like South-Korea, Japan, Canada, Australia and New-Zealand as well, countries that don't even have much of a history with them anywhere near as close as European history does. Also, Sweden isn't involved in conflict in the Middle-East and they actually bear one of the biggest brunts of a failed immigration policy of all of Europe.
Don't be ridiculous. There are plenty of countries in the world that have been colonized or occupied by external forces and plenty of them are doing fine. Look at Rwanda, India, Hong Kong, Malaysia, South Korea or Botswana just to name a few.
Yeah... There is a lot of missing context behind those claims and the fact you're not diving into that says more about you than it does about me.
You should do the same.
You wanna talk about the barbary slavery, or the Arab and ottoman slave trade? How about the fact they've been doing it for much longer and were one of the last to quit doing it? These countries have always been a mess and plenty have picked themselves up after the colonial era. Any country that is still pointing the finger at colonialism that's been long over is just looking for an excuse to blame anyone but themselves. Some cultures can coexist and some cannot. Accept it.

@adiba9734 I said in my previous comment that culture and religion are interconnected. One influences the other. You're right to say there are plenty of differences, but there is also a lot in common. And as for the Indonesian thing, less than 100,000 live in Japan and most are NOT muslim. The muslim population in Japan is between 150,000 to 200,000. They can't all be Indonesian.
Also, I actually have. You can find it here on YT, a group of imams at an embassy in Japan, DEMANDING Japan boycotts US products, specifically pork and alcohol. There's also a video of dozens of muslims getting into an all-out battle royale with each other. Do me a favor and actually look it up, I'm not even lying.
I'll give you that muslims in the Eastern Asian part of the world differ with those in the Middle East, but they're not inherently better well behaved. Maybe you could count Malaysia as a developed country despite being rather strict with the religion, but when you look at shit like Afghanistan or Pakistan, those people especially don't belong in a western country like Japan. Muslims don't belong in the west to begin with. The culture difference is just too big.
You have no intention of making it a muslim country. Yeah, that's what the guest workers in Europe said before they went and tried to make it more islamic. Good on you for not wearing a hijab. But putting one on the second you land a job sounds like you're deliberately deceiving people.

@adiba9734 Yes, you're correct. However I never said it was. The person decided to title the video that way. Don't know why they did that but that was never even the point. It also had nothing to do with the election problem. Apparantly a clash took place outside the Turkish embassy in Tokyo between Kurds and Turks, it was claimed that this began when they got into a quarrel after a Kurdish party flag was shown at the embassy.
Was it about their religion? No, and I acknowledge that. Did they fight against Japan? No, and I acknowledge that. But it does not change the fact that this kind of behavior is more prominent amongst people from islamic cultures than any other group. I asked you if you've ever seen any other group behaving this badly in Japan and you didn't even reply. Hundreds started an all-out brawl on the streets and became a public nuisance. They brought their home conflict with them to Japan and that's why they don't belong there. You see this kind of crap almost daily in Europe, especially France and Germany.
I know what you said and I heard you. You're just repeating yourself for no reason. I also have plenty of other examples of muslims causing trouble but my comment didn't get through. I'll try to post that in another comment.
A reason for that is because Indonesia's interpretation of the religion is unique in comparison to any other islamic country in the world. It's an exception and not the status quo. Also the majority of Indonesians in The Netherlands are a lot more secular than what they're used to seeing from Turkish or Moroccan muslims.
No, not every muslim country is the same. No one made that argument. But a simple ''not all of them'' just doesn't cut it when a religious demographic causes so much trouble for western societies. The overwhelming majority doesn't integrate, that much is fact. If you allow too many unassimilating people into the country, they will change the culture more to their liking and since the majority of the muslim world is conservative, what do you think will happen when their numbers become large enough?
Also, I really don't care if that's what you think of other groups. I've got things in my life going on with a little more priority than what you think of other people.

@Queen-jd5fh Der Satz lautet wörtlich „ein paar faule Äpfel verderben den Haufen“, nicht „ein paar faule Äpfel, aber der Rest ist völlig in Ordnung, ich schwöre“.
Das Besondere am „schlechten Äpfel“-Argument ist, dass es nicht berücksichtigt, wie der Rest der Äpfel mit den faulen Äpfeln umgeht. Wenn sie weggeworfen werden, sobald sie gefunden werden, und sie eine Randgruppe sind, die sich in ihrer eigenen Gemeinschaft versteckt, dann könnte man VIELLEICHT argumentieren, dass es kein Problem für die gesamte Gruppe ist.
Aber in den meisten Fällen beschützt der Rest der Gruppe die Schlechten, unterstützt sie und bestraft sie niemals für ihr schlechtes Verhalten, es sei denn, sie werden unbedingt dazu gezwungen. Eine Gruppe ist nur so moralisch wie die am wenigsten moralischen Menschen, die sie in sich toleriert. Jede Gruppe, die schlechte Mitglieder toleriert, ist eine schlechte Gruppe.

-
@Queen-jd5fh Ja, das sind Sie. In dem Moment, als Sie sagten, all diese Menschen seien Ihre Brüder und Schwestern, haben Sie sich der kollektiven Verantwortung verschrieben. In einer eng verbundenen Gemeinschaft wie Ihrer weiß jeder, wer was tut. Selbst unter den Jugendlichen in Ihrer Gemeinde weiß jeder, wer beteiligt ist. Dass die Gemeinschaft nicht selbst handeln, kann als Einverständnis übersetzt werden. Es liegt in der verantwortung der Menschen, deutlich zu machen, dass dieses Verhalten nicht toleriert werden kann, ist eine schwere Aufgabe. Dabei geht es nicht um Sanktionen oder strenge Maßnahmen, sondern lediglich um die Schlussfolgerung, dass dieses Verhalten von der Gesellschaft nicht toleriert wird.

@mohdebrahim4572 Depends on where you are. Across the whole western world, there are about 100k Saudis in the UK. A good 90k in Australia, 80k in Canada and 700k in the US. And those numbers from the UK are from Saudis alone, not including other Gulf States. They're not that big in Europe alone in comparison to Moroccans or Turks, but to call them ''beyond rare'' is just dumb. There's also a significant number of them in France, Sweden and Germany.
As for Indonesia, your comment doesn't make a lot of sense. A reason for their splendid integration is because Indonesia's interpretation of the religion is unique in comparison to any other islamic country in the world. It's an exception and not the status quo. Due to the uniqueness of Islam in Indonesia, other Islamic countries like those in the ME consider Indonesian Islam to be less conservative. Not all Indonesian Muslim women wear headscarves and full-body Muslim coverings like many Middle Eastern women do. In Indonesia, many Muslim women still wear western-style outfits like t-shirts, jeans, short skirts, etc. Likewise, many Indonesian Muslim men don't wear Muslim attire, perhaps only when they go to mosques.
Another aspect that makes Islam in Indonesia unique is the government’s tolerance towards religious conversion. As an example, when a Muslim converts to Christianity, they can request the government to officially endorse their conversion by approving the person's request to change their religion affiliation on their ID card. Indonesian ID cards list the religion of the card holder. Even though a Muslim-Background Believer may be persecuted by family members for converting, the persecution will usually lessen as the new believer lives a life of faith in Christianity. Though harsh persecutions do occur, the nationals’ beliefs in Pancasila and Bhinneka Tunggal Ika contribute to an overall less intense level of persecution.
They made public declarations for reforming Islamic thought on controversial issues, including political leadership, equal citizenship and relations with non-Muslims.
The Nahdlatul Ulama declarations include crucial decisions that differentiate Humanitarian Islam from other interpretations. First of all, they reject the notion of a global caliphate, or a political leadership that would unite all Muslims. The concept of a caliphate has been accepted by both mainstream Islamic scholars, such as those in Al-Azhar, Egypt’s world-renowned Islamic institution and radical groups, such as the Islamic State group and al-Qaeda.
The NU declarations emphasize the legitimacy of modern states’ constitutional and legal systems, and thus reject the idea that it is a religious obligation to establish a state based on Islamic law. Additionally, these declarations stress the importance of equal citizenship by refusing to make a distinction between Muslims and non-Muslims as legal categories.
So, yeah. Indonesia is in no way comparable to the rest of the muslim world.

@lauraha1700 Sie sind Muslime, das ist was. Glauben Sie, die Angehörigen der Opfer interessieren sich dafür, was an Silvester passiert ist? Glaubst du, diese Türken würden für dich gehen, wenn sich in Hanau der Spieß umdrehen würde? Sei nicht arrogant, antworte einfach. Sie sollten kein Mitleid mit Menschen haben, die es nicht zurückgeben. Ich wette, Sie waren in dieser schrecklichen Nacht mehr besorgt über die Reaktion auf die Flüchtlinge als über die Frauen, nicht wahr? Wenn hier jemand krank ist, dann du.

@schrenk-d If Jihadism is a European made problem, how come 86% of Jihadist victims are other muslims? No, they're not. Did you know that in the 10th century, islamic countries held about 10% of all global wealth? Did you know that in the 17th century, and that was before Europe massively colonized islamic countries, that was reduced back to only 2.2%? And that isn't because other countries got wealthier, it's because they themselves became more impoverished, maily because islamic laws and modern economies don't mix well together, such as the islamic inheritence law.
Most of that destabilisation is because of their own people. Afghanistan was already a mess before anyone even came along. And most of the conflict we've seen this century was thanks to the Arab Spring, something done by their own people. It's called the Syrian civil war for a reason.
Yeah, and many of those cultures are similar to each other. If you mix a culture that emphasises gender equality, gay rights, right to apostacy and blasphemy and are generally considered LGBT friendly, what do you think is gonna happen when you introduce a culture that opposes all of these things?
Also, who says they're living in Harmony? Have you ever actually been to China? And yes, I have. I can tell you for a fact they don't even like themselves, let alone other ethnic groups.
It really doesn't. Islamic cultures have been in the west for about 80 years now and it's only getting worse. Studies even show that muslims are becoming even more conservative, even if they grew up in relatively liberal families. Not to mention that they clash with locals in countries like South-Korea, Japan, Canada, Australia and New-Zealand as well, three countries that don't even have much of a history with them anywhere near as close as European history does. Also, Sweden isn't involved in conflict in the Middle-East and they actually bear one of the biggest brunts of a failed immigration policy of all of Europe.
Don't be ridiculous. There are plenty of countries in the world that have been colonized or occupied by external forces and plenty of them are doing fine. Look at Rwanda, India, Hong Kong, Malaysia, South Korea or Botswana just to name a few.
Yeah... There is a lot of missing context behind those claims and the fact you're not diving into that says more about you than it does about me.
You should do the same, kiddo.
Uhuh, you wanna talk about the barbary slavery, or the Arab and ottoman slave trade? How about the fact they've been doing it for much longer and were one of the last to quit doing it? These countries have always been a mess and plenty have picked themselves up after the colonial era. Any country that is still pointing the finger at colonialism that's been long over is just looking for an excuse to blame anyone but themselves. Some cultures can coexist and some cannot. Accept it.

@Lilliathi When printing became widespread in England in the 15th century, printers often adopted spellings that reflected the etymology of words, even if they didn't match their pronunciation. In this case, "colour" comes from the Old French word "colour" and the Latin word "color," both of which had the "u" included.
As for the use of the word "sky", it is based on its historical development from Old Norse, where "sky" meant "cloud." Over time, the meaning shifted to refer to the atmosphere above the Earth, and the spelling remained.
I couldn't find any source of how they, them, their and though have a Dutch origin. In a survey by Joseph M. Williams in Origins of the English Language it is estimated that about 1% of English words are of Dutch origin. You're really not as special as you think you are.
