Why I Can’t Feel Pity for the Syrian Refugees in Europe

“Long live Houellebecq, long live Viktor Orbán!” I mumble under my breath, for fear of being lynched if I am suspected of racism and Islamophobia.

"Orbán’s logic is that Europe has amassed bitter experience with the Muslim population multiplying there and taking advantage of Western tolerance to undermine the foundations of liberalism and the assurance of Westerners of the rightness of their path. Therefore, one would have to be crazy to put a healthy head into this sickbed and accept more Muslims, who will continue to subvert Europe from within.

Does this mean Orban is racist and Islamophobic? Or our prime minister, who declared that Israel wouldn’t take in Syrian refugees? My answer to this comes straight from the words of the renowned French writer Michel Houellebecq, who for more than a decade has been waging a literary and intellectual crusade against Islam. When he was sued at the time for racism and Islamophobia, he argued that a person who defends his cultural values against those who threaten them cannot be called racist. He said he had no problem with migrants from Arab countries who wholeheartedly adopt French values. His problem is that many of these people, instead of adopting the values of their host continent, barricade themselves in values that contradict the essence of Europe.

"Long live Houellebecq, long live Viktor Orbán!" I mumble under my breath, for fear of being lynched if I am suspected of racism and Islamophobia. As for the masses of Syrians and others now being welcomed with cheers at Germany’s train stations, I hope they don’t fall prey to the compassion lavished on them."

Interestingly, these days everybody arrives without proper documentation through illegally crossing the border and they are all from Syria. The French writer Michel Houellebecq is right on point. Most of these people don't want to integrate into European society, they use the laws and regulation for their own benefits and take over the European society. These days you see more women wearing niqab in in France then you could see them wearing them in progressive arab societies in Libya an Syria before they were pretty much destroyed by the West. For your amusement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niq%C4%81b

Read your own comment again please. Your first sentence is to make you remember why "far right" or "nazi" lost all of their past negative context. For a liberal "ubermensch" everyone ELSE is an extreme right nazi. "Varietas delecat", diversity, large scale of opinions only for libbies, silence and driven thinking for the masses. Very smart. Goebbels would really be very proud of all the liberals. Your second sentence is clear example for the basic anthagonism between liberal and moral. The only group of people who always have the right to judge others are the liberals only. On the basis of declared liberal immorality of course. Learn, read and think Young Fellow! Try to see the reality instead of the canned trouth to keep yourself away from this modern religious berserk. Best regards,
