What does a Muslim majority population have to do with terrorism? I've lived in many Muslim majority neighbourhoods and the closest I've gotten to terrorism is watching it on the news. In fact there was far more terrorism (daily almost) on the news as i was growing up in Ireland. 'Christians' blowing the shit out of each other.
Practically all of the recent Muslim immigrants in Europe are running away from terrorists not becoming them. Fear of a Muslim majority is completely irrational.
- duncan_bayne 9y agoIt's not. Muslim majority countries worldwide have an appalling human rights record. Many (most?) have criminal punishment for blasphemy, apostasy and homosexuality. Capital punishment for any of the above is common, and legal in many majority-Muslim states. There are clear examples of social regression to point to as well. Both Iran and Turkey used to be far more secular and liberal. True, it's not terrorism. The oppression is usually legal, and at the behest of the majority of the population. But it's reasonable to fear it, especially if you happen to be kuffar, female, or gay.
- rorykoehler 9y agoEurope is not going to introduce Sharia law or anything remotely similar. Pretty sure the gay Muslims I met in Berlin moved there to escape persecution, not mete it out.
- duncan_bayne 9y agoIndeed - that's been my experience too. Literally every Muslim immigrant I've known has been fleeing the crazy. But you're ignoring my point - almost every majority Muslim country has a rights-violating Sharia based Government. So no. Europe certainly won't enact Sharia law, provided their Muslim population remains a minority.
