Like most countries today France has their own particular challenges with immigration but most notably the January 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris. Which, of course is not indicative in and of itself of what bodes for their future but nonetheless and again...why France?
France, Islam, terrorism and the challenges of integration: Research roundup
The June 26, 2015, terrorist attack on an American-owned chemical factory in Lyon, France, has again raised concerns across French society about jihadist violence and ISIS-inspired domestic terrorism.
It comes in the wake of the January attacks in Paris, in which 12 people were murdered at the satirical news outlet Charlie Hebdo, including four journalists and two police officers, and then the killing of a policewoman and four hostages at a Kosher supermarket.
By law the French government is prohibited from asking about or keeping data on its citizens’ race and religion. A 2015 report from the Pew Research Center indicates that 7.5% of French residents are of Muslim descent, but does not indicate their degree of religiosity, however, a 2007 Brookings Institution book, Integrating Islam, estimated there were 5 million French residents of Muslim heritage, approximately 7.8% of the country’s population at that time (64.1 million).
The refugee kids are not put directly into the school system.
They have to go to a language immersion school and are there for about a year so they can learn German.
They they are put into the German schools after they have learned the language.
That should be something the US does; an immersion school where they learn English before they get into the K-12 system.
These same people are taking over certain parts of Paris. They make no attempt to become French and simply want to continue with their old ways. They live in neighborhoods with majority of them being from the same place.
It's like me moving to Germany and wanting Starbucks, Applebees, and buying a F250 with a confederate flag on the back. Why even bother?
Leftists are in total denial about the destruction of their leftist historical themepark that is occurring. Even a country as rich and productive as Germany will be destroyed by this.
The question is: who set this off? Syrians have been living in refugee camps for several years now without a mass exodus like we're seeing today. Merkel made it worse, but someone else set it off.
The link I give here is just one article on the mass exodus home again. People are so scared to give a hand out, they won't even give a hand up. That's just sad.
Just wondering how many of the posters on this thread have ever been or lived in Europe...
In the late 1960's
