Maybe it means they will welcome people less "likely to develop hatred towards the host country" because of their preexisting beliefs and religion?
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoI was just pointing put that your statement on Iran was obviously false. I never understood why France had such a hard time with muslim immigrants when they seem to completely integrate in the states within one generation. I'm sure it has to do more with the differences between Americans and French then...the immigrants themselves.
- guylhem 14y agoYeah, like there is no problem whatsoever in places as different as the Netherlands, and Australia. But you're right it seems to be working fine in the US for muslims. Something certainly related to the american culture and how open it is.
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoI think Europeans are just not as open (read: non-racist) as they claim to be, while Americans are the opposite: they are not as closed as they appear to be, they just let all their anxiety out first and then just assimilate as normal. Or let's put it this way: the French go out of their way to push a "French" culture on their immigrants; whereas "American" culture isn't really defined and is very organic, meaning, like gravity, we all tend to just converge.
