Kai, Europe demographic is changing rapidly. Look not only at Germany but Sweden, France. People of different skin colors are represented. I remember meeting Syrian refugees in the airplane when we were going to Texas for Christmas. Actually, I should not even say they were refugees, they were American citizens, with their children brought up in this culture. They were even Christian and proud of it.
Ukrainians mingle much better with Poles and Germans culturally and the way they look like. So there should be not a big tension.
Referring to Russia - I agree, they just don't have enough population to re-create the Soviet empire
Jaga,
People of different skin Colour are well represented in Europe. There are less problems with black and colored people with Christian (Lutheran, Evangelical, Calvinist, Roman Catholic and often African Pentecostal Churches), Hindu or other non-Muslim groups than white light skinned Berber, Arab, Turkish, Kurd, Afghan, Pakistani or Iranian backgrounds.
The problems with Muslims is that they stay ethnic different, often reject European democracy and democratic traditions, have their own Sharia Law, Islamic Jurisdiction, and connected to tribal, clan and regional (Rif Mountain region in northern Morocco 🇲🇦 or the North Anatolian Mountains).
In particular, the culture of the Anatolian Turks in Asia Minor underlies the Turkish nationalist ideology. It is a mix of ethnic Turkish Nationalism and Sunni Muslim Islamism. Turks will never fully integrate, they are billingual but will always be strongly connected to Turkey 🇹🇷, Turkish history (the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Turkey of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk 🇹🇷).
The Turks form the largest minority group in Bulgaria, the second largest minority group in Iraq, Libya, North Macedonia, and Syria, and the third largest minority group in Kosovo. They also form substantial communities in the Western Thrace region of Greece, the Dobruja region of Romania, the Akkar region in Lebanon, as well as minority groups in other post-Ottoman Balkan and Middle Eastern countries.
The mass immigration of Turks also led to them forming the largest ethnic minority group in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands. There are also Turkish communities in other parts of Europe as well as in North America, Australia and the Post-Soviet states. Turks are the 13th largest ethnic group in the world.
Before you folks consider me a xenophobe or racist I want to state that Turkish nationalist and Ultra-Nationalist forces, movements and political parties are strong in some West-European cities and towns. Ideas about Superior Turks, Super Turks, Great Ottoman aspirations, domination of city area’s and neighbourhoods are not uncommon. In the Netherlands 🇳🇱 live 500,000 to over 2,000,000 Ethnic Turks. Erdoğanism (the "strongest phenomenon in Turkey since Kemalism", an ideology fundamentally based on a cult of personality around Erdoğan, referring to it as a form of populist authoritarianism similar to that of Putinism in Russia. Foreign Policy also describes Ottomanism (the glorification of the Ottoman Empire), Islamism, suspicion of western political intervention in the Middle East, the rejection of Kemalism, and confinement of the democratic process and elections as key attributes of Erdoğanism.), Turkish National conservatism, Turkish national populism, Turkish right-wing nationalism, and Neo-Ottomanism (an irredentist and imperialist Turkish political ideology) is also present in Turkish migrant area’s where there is a strong support for the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his AK Parti (Justice and Development Party), and next to that there is significant support for the Nationalist Movement Party (alternatively translated as Nationalist Action Party; Turkish: Milliyetçi Hareket Partisi, MHP) a Turkish far-right, ultranationalist and Eurosceptic political party and the Grey Wolves (Turkish: Bozkurtlar), a Turkish far-right organization and movement affiliated with the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP). Commonly described as ultranationalist, neo-fascist, and Islamist, the Grey Wolves is a youth organization that has been characterized as the MHP's paramilitary or militant wing. Next to these parties and movements you have the influence of Milli Görüş, "National Outlook" or "National Vision") a religious-political movement and a series of Islamist parties inspired by Necmettin Erbakan. It argues that Turkey can develop with its own human and economic power by protecting its core values, trusting in God, and moving forward with faster steps by rivaling the Western countries.
To counter this you have moderate Turks who are supporters of the Kemalist, Secularist and Social Democratic CHP party (Cumhuriyet Halk PartisI), but the presence of the AK Parti, Erdoğanism, MHP, the Bozkurtlar (Grey Wolves) and Milli Görüş is strong in Germany 🇩🇪, Switzerland 🇨🇭, Austria 🇦🇹, Luxemburg 🇱🇺, Belgium 🇧🇪, France 🇫🇷, the UK 🇬🇧 , the Netherlands, Denmark 🇩🇰 , Sweden 🇸🇪 and Norway 🇳🇴. The Turkish government influence, propaganda and control over Turkish Diaspora communities in Western Europe goes far.
The problems with Berber and Arabic North Africans from mainly Morocco, Algeria and Tunesia are larger, due to their tribal and clan organisation, heavy organized crime (Mocro Maffia), Salafist Islamist Sunni Muslim extremist Violent Jihadism and terrorism. The terrorist attacks in Madrid, London, Paris, Nice, Toulouse, Manchester, Berlin, Copenhagen, Salzburg (Austria) and Brussels.
The Moroccan mafia (Arabic: مافيا مغربية, Berber languages: ⵎⴰⴼⵢⴰ ⵉⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱⵉⵢⵏ, Dutch: Mocro Maffia) is a term that describes various criminal organisations that are mainly made up of people from Moroccan descent. These organisations are specialised in trafficking large quantities of cocaine and synthetic drugs through Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and Belgium, from where it is distributed to the rest of the European continent,[1][2] thus being one of the most dominant participants in the European drug trade.
In broader terms of Moroccan organized crime, this also includes Moroccan hash kingpins and southern Moroccan traffickers who play a key-role in the African drug trade, as well as in human trafficking, arms trafficking and the trafficking of contraband such as cigarettes and alcohol, although they are seen as a separate entity from the Mocro Maffia who are mostly active in the northern part of Morocco and Europe.
Moroccan criminal networks in Europe are mainly active since the 1990s, and exist mostly out of Belgian and Dutch citizens with a Moroccan immigrant background. These criminal networks have privileged relationships with Colombian and Mexican cartels, and they often import drugs into Europe through the harbours of Antwerp, Rotterdam and Algeciras.
The Moroccan mafia does not, however, include Moroccan Jewish crime families such as the Abergil crime family as well as the Abutbul and Domrani clans, who are rather considered to be a part of the Israeli mafia. That said, Moroccan-Israeli mafia clans are known for having collaborated closely together with the Mocro Maffia in the Netherlands and Belgium, especially in the worldwide distribution of synthetic drugs such as MDMA. This is mostly due to the fact that the Netherlands is the largest producer of MDMA and amphetamines in the world.
With Somalians, Sudanese, Eritreans, Ethiopians, Nigerians, Iranians and other Muslim migrants and refugees it is hard to integrate them, because they will always consider Islam ☪️, Hadith (what the majority of Muslims believe to be a record of the words, actions, and the silent approval of the Islamic prophet Muhammad as transmitted through chains of narrators), Sharia law and their own peoples ethnic, tribal and clan rules, customs, traditions, habits and culture superior to native European, Western and Democratic culture, history, legislation, rights and duties, Separation of Powers (Trias Politica), Freedom and values like equality, Justice, Ethics, Human values, equality between men and women, hetrosexual and homosexual, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Non-Binary people.
These Islamics reject Democracy, Freedom, liberalism, Western Conservatism, Dutch-, German-, Belgian-, French-, Austrian-, Italian-, European-, Polish-, Czech-, Spanish-, Irish-, Danish-, Swedish-, Norwegian-, Slovak-, Bosnian-, Croat-, Serb-, Ukrainian-, US-, Canadian-, Australian- and New Zealandic and International law and some of them even Turkish- and Moroccan law. Because they only abide and obey Quran, Hadith, the Ummah (the collective community of Islamic people) and Shariah Law (a body of religious law that forms part of the Islamic tradition.)
Traditional theory of Islamic jurisprudence recognizes four sources of Sharia: the Quran, sunnah (authentic hadith), qiyas (analogical reasoning), and ijma (juridical consensus).
Turkish Sunni Muslims follow the Hanafi school, one of the four traditional major Sunni schools (maddhab) of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). According to Pew Research Center (a nonpartisan American think tank based in Washington, D.C.) 99% of the Muslims in Morocco are Sunni predominantly of the Sunni Maliki madhab, or school of thought, whilst the remaining 1% adhere to other sects such as Shia, Quranism, ibadism etc.
The administration of King Mohammed VI has combated the influence of Salafism via a state program where 100,000 imams will go to the country's 50000 mosques and promote the moderate Islam of the Maliki madhab. Morocco has a large Salafi movement, notable figures among it include Omar al-Haddouchi and Hassan Kettani. There are also adherents to the Quranist creed in Morocco, such as the author Rachid Aylal.
In Europe there are huge problems with North African Maghrebian young men with a Moroccan, Algerian and Tunesian background in French Banlieu’s, suburbs of a large French cities like Paris, Lyon, Marseille and Toulouse. Banlieues are divided into autonomous administrative entities and do not constitute part of the city proper. For instance, 80% of the inhabitants of the Paris Metropolitan Area live outside the city of Paris. The same problems with these North Africans you have in Belgium 🇧🇪 in the
Molenbeek municipality of the Brussels-Capital Region and the Borgerhout district in Antwerp.
In the 2012-2016 timespan, of the about 500 individuals who left Belgium to fight in the civil war in Syria, the great majority were of Moroccan descent according to U.S. and Belgian authorities. In a report by the Combating Terrorism Center, of the 135 individuals surveyed in connection with terrorism, there were 12 different nationalities. Of those 65% had Belgian citizenship and 33% were either Moroccan citizens or had ancestral roots there.
"I know my friends from the street," a 2002 Verweij-Jonker Institute report on leisure time of Dutch Turks and Dutch Moroccans, stated that Dutch Moroccans tend to make few new contacts from the street, tend to spend leisure time with members of the same ethnicity and sex, and have leisure activities heavily influenced by "Moroccan culture". Frank Buijs did a 1993 study of young Moroccan men in the Netherlands. He found that young men prefer attending "Moroccan parties" over other types of parties since they are able to meet other Moroccans and consider the parties to be "fun".
The lack of tight family networks and the more lax upbringing "draws the Dutch-Moroccans, more often than youngsters from other groups, away from their homes and schools to public spaces, where they learn to live according to the tough and hyper-masculine codes of the culture of the street."
Mohammed Bouyeri (Arabic: محمد بويري Muḥammad Būʿyiri; born 8 March 1978) is a Moroccan-Dutch convicted terrorist serving a life sentence without parole in the prison of Nieuw Vosseveld (Vught) for the assassination of Dutch film director Theo van Gogh. A member of the Hofstad Network, he was incarcerated in 2004 and has since been serving a sentence of life with no possibility of parole.
In the UK and for instance other countries like the Netherlands, France and Belgium you have on one side Rightwing anti-immigration, anti-EU, anti-(Muslim-) refugees, anti-Islam, anti-Quran, anti-mosque people with a white native European (both Christian and atheist), black (both Christian and atheist), Hindu and other coloured anti-Muslim people one one side and Muslim migrants, Muslim refugees, converted native European Muslims and multicultural Woke Leftist people on the other side.
The problem of extremism, organised crime and anti-Western attitudes, behavior and actions of people with a Muslim background must be adressed. Many Europeans are simply fed up with Muslims and would rather like they left Europe. That Muslims go away back where they came from.
