How Europe is turning Right-wing

Second generation Muslims are almost all pretty Canadian in value, not very religious but sometimes observe some practices.
None I know pray 5 times a day.
People are people, over time in a more moderate environment they become more moderate.
A liberal western democracy such as ours is designed to allow precisely that. Pluralism.
The only thing one is required to actually integrate into are Canadian laws which the vast majority of them do.
They're normally Centrists in Europe, they're turning right because they see whats happening in their countries with a bunch of migrants that don't want to integrate but want to be accommodated for their religion and cultural style. They block streets because the want to pray. But they have thousands of Mosques in Europe, they just want to stick it and dominate.
Quick, send all your money to trump so he can fix it.
A bunch of half naked men all huddled together, repeatedly slapping their bare chests. For a religion thats so homophobic, they sure do a lot of gay shit.
america trying to spread their police state authoritarianism.
I believe that most Muslims are good people. They work hard, are law abiding, family oriented and faithful. They don't want to change our way of life or legal systems they have the same aspirations as anyone. But there are a strong minority of Muslims who are fervent, intolerant, want to implement Sharia law and are willing to sacrifice themselves for that goal. They refuse to assimilate. They support a culture of grievance and victimhood. And its western neo-liberal ideology that feeds into that. They treat Muslims as if they are an oppressed group that is unfairly targeted. You can't criticize the community or the religion or else you're deemed an 'Islamophobe'. They change laws to kowtow to them. Designated prayer rooms in public spaces would be an example of that. You would think that the way that they talk that Muslims are the biggest target of hate, which could be farther from the truth. Look at 2024 hate crimes in the City of Toronto.

Good. Then you should also agree that much of the panic, stereotyping, and suspicion directed at Muslims is driven by far right rhetoric rather than evidence.
The same can be said of a minority of Caucasians who are fervent racists, intolerant, and openly advocate authoritarian or fascist policies, including “remigration,” even at the expense of democratic principles.
Yet no one argues that this minority defines Caucasians as a group.
Muslims are stigmatized as a group and disproportionately targeted because of this exact kind of framing.
Your post shifts from acknowledging Muslims as ordinary people to reinforcing group level suspicion within two sentences.
You may want to think this through more carefully, as the reasoning isn’t coherent.
And left-wing is now who all of the sudden do want war. THAT is now "left-wing" lol
Yup the left wants war, they refuse to believe they have lost to Russia YET AGAIN. France, Germany, UK, all failed in their attempts to destroy Russia. Again and again and again.
BTW even if Russia takes Ukraine, it wont mean the destruction of the rest of Europe.
In a conventional war the EU has a population of 300 to 400 million people it can draw soldiers from, Russia only has a population of 140 million.
When it comes to military hardware both the EU and Russia are about even.
It would be a long, protracted war that I think Russia would eventually lose
The objective of the war is not for Russia to take Ukraine or at
least not to take more than 20% of it. The real objective now is to
wreck Ukraine.
