Even many of those who are technically "peaceful" want to impose Islamism by demographic and political means rather than terrorism. A death of a thousand cuts in other words.This is the natural result of identity politics pumping up simple tribalism. Those people that got run over by the truck driver were "them" to his "us", just like muslims and refugees in general are "them" to many Americans' "us". And round and round it goes. The facts that the people in that got run over probably had nothing to do with the driver's grievance, and that that there are many perfectly innocent and peaceful refugees and muslims get swept aside so long as people insist on speaking with identity politics.
I am all for helping refugees. That does not mean that all of them should be resettled into the West, even if they don't accept Western culture. That doesn't mean that all Muslims should be treated as "refugees" no matter where they come from and why they seek to come in. And it sure as hell should not mean that claimed "refugee" status should give one immunity from deportation even if they commit crimes.
I am not saying all Muslims or all refugees are bad. But why should it be controversial that those who seek to immigrate into Europe should be vetted for, among other things, compatibility with European culture?
The mass migration of Muslims is an existential threat to Europe. If Europe does not see that and acts accordingly, it will not exist as a cultural entity much longer. The ambitions of Islamism are global - they want to make the entire world Islamic and Europe is their current target.
