Thank you for taking the time to make that post, I will answer you like this.

I understand your viewpoint, and I understand that being Muslim in today's world comes with a whole lot of "thorns out, shield up". For very understandable reasons, I might add. I for one make sure to go through security controls just after someone of Arabic heritage, just so I won't be bothered.

But let's face it, enough of a number of the Muslim immigrants - for it to be a problem, are acting in a way that the western world does not find acceptable. These people are NOT your neighbors or even countrymen. They are as related to you as I am to white guys in the former Soviet states.

Honestly speaking, would you like to be surrounded by Somalis and Afghans? Moroccans?

I feel, that you feel, that you must defend these people because of a shared religion. Dude, I am sooooo atheist it's not even fun. I respect a well read up Muslim a hell of a lot more than Christians trying desperately to keep their one brain cell within the family... Also lovingly known as "the south" in USAnian terms.
I feel that you don't really understand that I'm not a Muslim: I think it was pretty obvious in my last sentence.

Also, why the hell do you seem to think that I see these people as compatriots or neighbours? That's got nothing to do with the issue here at all. You may be doing it unknowingly, but it seems to me that you think that I'm somehow defending mass immigrants because I have some sort of ethnic or cultural link to them? Hell, I nearly got beat up because I was criticising Arab culture.

The thing is, I don't disagree that there are a lot of problems with mass immigration; the only thing I'm doing is offering a different perspective from where these problems come from.

I'm sorry if I come off as a tad frustrated, it just appears to me that people sometimes think I have some sort of ulterior motive because they assume I have a certain religion or am part of a certain culture. It's silly.

I for one make sure to go through security controls just after someone of Arabic heritage, just so I won't be bothered.
And yet 80 percent of all Muslims are non-Arab.
