Honest question: how could you prevent foreign financing of religious institutions? What would that look like?
That seems like a difficult thing to prevent without affecting charities and 'good' institutions (eg. the Catholic church).
- zo1 10y agoI'm not the OP, but I think doing such a thing would be a bad move. Not all institutions and religious buildings are bad or hot-beds of hatred and intolerance. If you are going that route, you need to specifically target the bad ones, and extract them. However, even that's going to be a case of whack-a-mole, as they'll just go further underground and keep rebuilding. Most people seem to have a problem with radical islam these days. It's the hot debate topic, and seems to be causing quite a stir in both Europe and now America. You could argue that it wouldn't be a problem if you allowed a much smaller amount of immigration. A small enough amount such that hateful individuals from the incoming group don't get a chance to ferment and consolidate power with other like-minded individuals once they arrive. Whether there is an unusual amount of such hateful individuals within a specific incoming group is not at all relevant save for using it in order to determine how much further you have to limit the entry amount in order for their concentration to stay low-enough for the host nation to be safe. Unfortunately, this is a very unpopular opinion. You can't even have a reasonable discussion on the matter with opposing viewpoints without there being controversy and "racism" accusations flying.
