It's not their culture they are trying to leave behind, it's the dictators or terrible leadership/government they are trying to leave behind.

Cubans, as an example, didn't flee from their country because they hated their culture, they are PROUD of their culture. But they sure as hell didn't like Batista OR Castro so they left and came to America...the melting pot...where they were FREE to be who they were and make something of themselves.

You need to go and look at what "Americans" were saying about the Irish, the Italians, and Eastern Europeans in the 19th century, you'd be surprised how well your words would have fit into the comments being made at the time.

He makes an excellent point. Irrational intolerance led to the destruction of a vibrant and enriching culture which was mostly in tune with the majority. Because of the senseless destruction of WW2, Europe vowed never to let such evil take place. Noble ideology indeed but it has gone too far in this direction which has allowed a truly hostile, violent culture to take root in Europe which threatens their very existence. Any attempt to curtail this population is met with cries of Nazism which in effect silents any real debate on the subject.

Ironically Jewish Israelis are probably safer from Islamic terror than the average European nowadays since they are under no illusion about the threats they face.

That Spaniard is so stupid, it's sad. Most Spaniards have ARAB blood running in their veins! However, Spaniards are infamous for being some of the most racist people on earth, so this really isn't a total surprise.
Sure if you count invasion and occupation as being a part of European history.

Well, when you have the Spanish discriminating against them, and blocking opportunities, what do you expect? Arabs are successful in this country, because they don't face the hurdles they do in Spain.

It's all to clear.

And what Europeans are learning, and others around the world, is that this is a GLOBAL world. This is not 1492.

As a Jew I find Muslim anti-Semitism disgusting and inexcusable. As a liberal I find leftist refusal to confront Islamic anti-Semitism baffling, ludicrously hypocritical, infantalizing and genuinely disturbing. As a human being I find Islam a rather revolting ideology that makes far too much of lunatic, warmaking pedophile and his dumb ideas about the universe. As a CD poster I find your inherent comparison of innocent Jews with a modern Hitler almost so beyond the pale as to make me wonder if you've ever met a North Korean or a Jew.

Just a reminder, Hamas pays for the Christmas Parade in Bethlehem

Merry Christmas

Is the code word "Culture" meaning how white people like things to be done? Don't compare us to Europe.

America is a country of people of different cultures living side by side under the law of the land. So stop it.

America is a country of people of different cultures living side by side under the law of the land. Sharing and learning from one another. So stop it.

Misery of their culture? You are too much. It is so Obvious that you are not exposed to people other than those who look, talk and think along your lines.

YOU, my friend are the one that needs more culture in his life.

The article makes approximately as much sense as positing that we have so many Catholics in America today because we "imported" them to replace the Native Americans we exterminated. In other words, zero sense.
