It is really odd to see that fat aggressive refugee in Hungary yell out of the train window that he has a right to cross the border.
Really, I am not so sure that kind of behavior helps convince possible hosts.
We have the same kinds of problems with illegal aliens in the US.

Even a determined 15% is enough to give the Infidel countries hell.
My 30 year estimate may have been ambitious and it take 50 years.

Hey if the US can rewrite it's Civil War history with all those evil Southern symbols, surely Muslims can tear down a few Michangelo paintings and statues.

Will it be too late when they do their prayers in the Vatican Plaza?

There were two block so to speak, not just Germany and Japan.
I don't like that idea of blocks. I think it makes more sense to have a global agreement where every nation is protected from an invasion of any country via a defense mechanism where all other countries are obliged to help the invaded country. Basically what happens within blocks such as Nato. That would also have prevented situations like in the Ukraine. The UN security council would cease to exist, and along with it the vetoing and abuse of that body.

Russia has always been too big to mess with and it will stay that way more than ever.

Maybe we should let in only women and children and maybe old men, while most men should stay there in Syria and finally topple Assad. It is the citizens of a country whose task it is to topple their dictator.

Europe doesn't consider itself White, since that would be racist, or Christian.

Since Europe can be anything, it can be Islamic as well. Many on the Left say if Europe turns into another Saudi Arabia, so what!?

Europe is unique due to its history, Christian/secular ideals and individual freedoms, which are all anti-thesis to Islam.

Islam will be the death of Europe as we know it.

You probably don't live in Europe because I have never heard anyone here say what I colored red above.
In my view a lot of Europeans outright reject Islam, and those who do not do that try to find a compromise between opposing it on the one hand and being friendly, humane and pc on the other. But I have never come across any European who really welcomes Islam.

And I bet I've done more traveling than you have. More than I ever wanted to. I know how great the US is compared to the rest of the world.

Huh? I have been drinking tap water ever since I moved here, I never buy bottled water.
Health is also no problem, life expectancy here is higher than in Germany or the US.

Traveling is traveling, living is living. Anyway, it is your impression and it is OK, but other people naturally have very different impressions. While there are a few nice places in the US, I would not trade Portugal for 99% of the US. Life here is just a lot better for me.

I read that the refugees are converting to Christianity in droves. So will they lose their special victim status from liberals as a consequence?
