  are you confident in claiming that many areas of Poland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania etc share in all of these values? The crux of the problem here is that people are searching for reasons to justify actions that are rooted in racism. That is how you end up with vague discussions about feelings, incompatible cultures, "values" and so on.

  > law above religion When the laws come about as functions of entrenched religious thinking, one is not above the other. This value is also not listed on the page you link. > equality Clearly not, as not all refugees are equal. > Democracy You've got me there. Many of the listed values are there for PR purposes: The practicalities of daily living are different or in some aspects even very different.
