Thing is most of those people who disagree with muslim immigration believe that hordes of muslim migrants total count upwards of 10 million are raping and pillaging all over europe. Because of fake news.
From wiki:
quote:
According to the Pew Research Center, the Muslim population in Europe (excluding Turkey) was about 30 million in 1990, 44 million in 2010 and is expected to increase to 58 million by 2030; the Muslim share of the population increased from 4.1% in 1990 to 6% in 2010 and will continue to increase over the next 40 years, reaching 10% in 2050.
That is 10's of millions of muslim migrants coming into europe. I doubt they're raping and pillaging, but it's not like there isn't a horde of them coming in.

I live near St. Louis, Missouri, where we had a huge influx of Bosnian immigrants when all that shit went down in the 90s. We've got the largest population of Bosnians outside of Europe, and most of them are muslims. They turned Bevo Mill (a neighborhood) around and made it a lot better. Plus, selfish-me got some new cuisine to try out of the deal
St Louis, in general, has definitely benefited from muslim immigration, in particular.

Yea we are full of Bosnian's too not as thrilled about them as you though
I don't think they get along with the black folks very well. Other than that they seem pretty welcomed.
still way better then Croatians.
My uncle is Serbian
In essence Bosnian's are Slovenias mexicans
Uh, no comment. I grew up around a Latino neighborhood and have a Mexican surname
Slovenija was part of Ex Jugoslavija most ex members are not perticulary fond of each other. The only thing we have in common we all dont like Croatians Personally i think it was a miracle that Tito could hold 6 nations and 4 religions together.
I don't know anything about that, nor who Tito is.

In my area of Central Florida, we have had a large influx of Muslims as well. Many Muslim families moved into my neighborhood. Seem to be acclimating nicely.
Bevo Mill used to be a shithole but now its pretty good since the Bosnians moved in.
I think the big issue is the portrayal of Muslims by the media.
Well its also, just, different...
quote:
It was no different when thousands of Bosnian refugees fleeing civil war in the former Yugoslavia were settled in St Louis in the 1990s. The city and its previous waves of immigrants were fearful and even resentful of the newcomers, who were almost all Muslims. When some built smokehouses in their backyards and spit-roasted a whole lamb, the International Institute received phone calls from locals telling them that the Bosnians were barbecuing the local dogs. source
.
The vast majority who emigrate here legally usually do so via work visas. Most are well educated and family oriented.
Yup, and care enough about their neighborhood to not vandalize it but instead improve it and make it a better place to live.
Are there bad apples? Sure. Does Islamic extremism exist? Of course.
From that same article:
quote:
Earlier this year six Bosnian immigrants were charged with sending money and supplies to terrorists in Iraq and Syria. Three of them lived in St Louis County.
Oh, and we got a new Turkish restaurant in my area.
I had a lamb shank at an Afghani restaurant and it was amazing
