Muslims are starting to become annoying here

[jots]

I don't know, Germans. Sounds pretty racist to me.

I'm not suggesting that Muslims aren't a problem. IRA members who plant bombs are equally a problem. But you don't recommend shipping the Irish back home.

You're conflating the problems of nations and international politics with those of individuals and immigration.

You don't like the views of Muslims and some Muslim immigrants, so instead of using the tools of politics, law, and social discourse, which are the accepted tools of any pluralistic society, you want to use immigration policy to enforce your political views. That's a cheap, effective solution, but it also makes you as unpluralistic and anti-democratic as they are. Just because evil doesn't wear a turban doesn't make it any less evil.

Here in America, there is hatred and resentment of Mexicans. So people want to close the borders and send any undocumenteds back to Mexico. It's the same deal. People want to deal with their unease with accommodating people who are different than they are by using immigration policy and inflammatory racist rhetoric.

Playing the race card is not wrong if racism is being used to support indefensible policies. And playing the "you're just playing the race card" card has become a convenient way for racists to stifle criticism of their racism. Fuck you.

This is what I was trying to get across earlier (but failed miserably) Thanks for eloquently putting words to my thoughts
