Obviously no group is 100% anything. I had (now deceased) relatives who fought for and supported the Nazis in WW2, yet they were the kindest people who would give you anything. If they were alive today, I would trust them with my infant daughter. That doesn't mean that Nazis were "good".

The fact is that, regardless of whether you think Muslims (or anyone else) are "good" or "bad", countries have a right to enforce their borders and to control who lives in the country. The Schengen rules are crazy and outdated and will need to be reformed.

1. I agreee
2. I agree
3. I agree

I have a neutral view of Muslims in general I however oppose Islam having influence in Western Culture however demonizing a group of people who were born into a culture and religion no fault of their own is beyond stupidiity.

Religion is what the adherents of the religion make it to be. Muslims are responsible for what Islam is today.

A very small minority of Muslims 'commit' acts of terrorism, but vast number of Muslims 'support' terror in the name of Islam.

I've seen these polls before that you have posted multiple times what I don't get is why you post them You are Pakistani I believe these polls not only add fuel to people having a negative outlook on the religion of Islam but also on the specific ethnicities cited in the end it doesn't help you.

Some of the most outspoken critics of Islam are 'ethnic'; Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Raymond Ibrahim, Sarah Haider, Imran Firasat, Ibn Warraq, Nonie Darwish, Brother Rachid,.........just to name a few.

Seriously ? I thought they came for the fun of spending all their life-savings in a dangerous travel to cross the desert and the sea to end up as cheap labourforce in Europe.

What seems to be lost on so many people is that the more Europe awards people who smuggle themselves to Europe, the more people will smuggle themselves to Europe. What happened to this boy is horrible, but Europe's policies and complacence are to blame for this. There will only be more and more migrants drowning and shops sinking in the coming years.
