If you believe you have a right to throw Muslims out of Europe, which is the only way to stop increasing Muslim populations in Europe (short of genocide), then that is only possible by believing in racist assumptions (often disguised by calling them "facts").
Under democratic values, everyone is the same before the law. Therefore there have to be serious reasons to prosecute, hunt down, imprison and deport someone (and en passant destroying his livelihood, potentially his family, and causing misery and death). You essentially say that Muslims are in general not "useful", so they shouldn't have this protection.
First of all, this is deeply anti-democratic and anti-freedom. But secondly, in this argumentation there is almost always a tendency to attach negative value to certain ethnicities. To deny human rights to an ethnically distinct group means to devalue them as human beings, and this is racism.
And please don't say you don't want to get rid of Muslims... If that were really true, why are you complaining about them?
- JesperRavn 11y agoSo your logic is: if you say something negative about group X, then you must want to throw them out of your country, therefore you want to hunt them down, therefore you are are anti-democratic. Therefore there cannot be anything negative to say about group X.
