I guess I must repeat myself. My pleasure is not derived from violence in Sweden or any where else. It is not at the fact that many poor Mexican will get deported or that somepeople will get hurt by Trumps ban. It is at the silly people who still cannot understand simple concepts such as the problems in Africa and the ME are mostly caused by the people living in those places. Simply moving them into your home will not solve their problems or suddenly make them better people. My amusement is at the expense who never actually get involved at the grassroots level but talk as if they have intimate experience.
The #1 thing that is required for change is a desire to change.
Shame on you for pretending you care.
They're caused by poverty and banditry piling on the ceaseless power struggles of rival gangs. Same stuff that causes all wars and conflicts everywhere. No reason to single the folks of Africa and the East out for special blame and no help. Same stuff that made the West Wild and mostly lawless until just a century back. Of'course if you weren't white you kept on being victimized and killed a lot longer, right through nto this century. And all that in spite of the benign influence of Christian churches everywhere. In fact most lynch mob members were regular churchgoers just like their neighbours.
There is nothing unique about Islam, or uniform about the people who practice it They're as varied in their behaviour, goo, bad and evil as any and all Christians. Or any me4mbers of any religion or ethic group you care to name.
You are right though
slow, simply moving folks into our homes won't make us or them into better people. And the poor immigrants who finally arrived in their Land of Dreams will inevitably find out, we're just like them and the folks they left behind. Just better off and cleaner.
Under our nice clothes we are as bigotted, racist and prejudiced as any of those who exploited and abused them for what they represented, never seeing them for the people they are.
The lesson we should have learned is that all that prosperity we enjoy, and jealously guard from them was built by draft-dodgers and refugees and economic migrants every bit as unlovely and scarey as the poor souls we've taken recently in. Or are now faddishly turning away.
Like the refugees, we need to learn there are no angels in the mirror or aanywhere else, only ordinary individuals, each one just trying to make tomorrow abit better than yesterday.
