The sainted Europeans - who have literally killed in every corner of the globe and enslaved people all over the world too.... just can't stop.
Their acolytes who look the other way don't like having it brought up.
Yesterday's article was about Muslim professionals feeling like they have to leave France due to bigotry which is too bad, France needs an "exploding" population of diversity.
Today, Germany.

March 15 is the UN's International Day to Combat Islamophobia. Many of the 5.5 million Muslims in Germany say they experience discrimination every day."
Europe. They make Trump look like a civil rights hero.
(Not one poster singled out for personal attack....)
Anyways, let us hope that nativist efforts to "assimilate' people in Europe - are rebuffed.
I won't say by what means.

So France and Macron are just like Trump.
I agree.
Actually they were more Trumpy than trump. Ask the dead in Mali for starters. Or the many feeling discriminated against overtly by France and its government.
Either way, there's progress in France.
Retirement age got bumped a bit.
That's a start.
Many decades of work yet to happen. Some within that country I can trust to do the 'heavy lifting'.....

Naw. Remember when Trump first took office, and one of his first acts was to try to drastically limit immigration from predominantly Muslim countries. - sheila

FIFY
Remember when Trump first took office, and one of his first acts was to try to drastically limit immigration from countries whose system of governance and haphazard record keeping made it unreliable or impossible to identify and vet potential immigrants.
fun fact: The most highly populated Muslim country, Indonesia (12.7% of all Muslims), was not on Trumps list.
another fun fact: The second most populated Muslim Country, Pakistan (11.1%), wasn't either.
one more: The third most populated Muslim Country, Bangladesh (9.2%), wasn't either.
Boy, when it came to banning Muslim immigration, Trump sure blew it.

Actually.....it was Francois Hollande who got the French military involved in Mali, with the apparent goal of helping them to eliminate the Islamic terrorists who had taken over the north of the country and were killing people there. "Genocide" is the term used to describe their approach. So the French went in to help get rid of them and restore the north to Mali. Which they did. And Macron pulled the French soldiers out last year.
You really seem to enjoy equating Macron and Trump. I'm not saying that Macron is ideal. But you can't equate the two in any way......not in values or intelligence or articulateness or rationality or focus.....

Attention Muslims of Mali:
You are invaded and killed by Hollande and France.
Not Macron and France.
And we in America, who adorn rainbows here and there and talk fairness - but really are the greediest most racist element in America - think that this makes a different.
So now you know.
It was under Hollande, not Macron.
To the majority of the world's people: We the Haughty tell you, who got colonized or raped by Europe, it was under X, not Y. All is well now.
Now have a good weekend. We want our lawns mowed and our organics picked for cheaper wages.

I see. So the terrorists in Mali who were committing genocide.....killing huge numbers of innocent men, women, and children.....in their attempt to bring the northern part of Mali under their own control.....you find that okay. And the support that France provided to help bring this to an end is not okay.
And I assume that those who are against the militant Islamist violence in other African countries, like Somalia, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Niger and others.....are also guilty of Islamophobia. And the jury that just gave a life sentence to the self-admitted Islamic terrorist who drove his truck onto the pedestrian path by the Hudson River....a 10-minute walk from where I live.....and gleefully killed and maimed many he purposefully rammed into.....those jury members are simply Islamaphobes too.
Islamaphobes certainly exist. And they were highly and frighteningly vocal after the World Trade Centers (also not far from where I live) were attacked and so many lives lost. But there is no value in applying this label where it doesn't belong. You are simply showing your own rigidly skewed views.
And for me, this is the end of this interchange.

Europeans have slaughtered way more than America.
Trouble is - they seem to have the sympathy of Americans who love criticizing America - they are not consistent.
As far as the Americans who killed Natives.
Yes, the direct descendants of Europeans, killed and enslaved - -- why wouldn't they. Why break a streak.
Europe cannot lecture other countries on what is right and what isn't.
Luckily, within some of their countries things are 'changing'.
