When I read threads like this, I can't help but noticing a contradiction: All the claims that are being made about Muslims, about them destroying the Western World, taking over Europe, strifing to introduce Sharia law and so on, are in crass contrast to my everyday experience with Muslim immigrants here in Berlin (among them a few good friends of mine). In my experience, by far most Muslims here do not stand for all these things they are accused of, but in the contrary, our Western way of life has changed them much, much more than they are attempting to change our society. Muslims in Europe westernize, not the other way round.
Among my friends and acquiantances are half a dozen people who consider themselves Muslims. None, I repeat, NONE of them wants Sharia law, supports terrorism, or any of the other things they are accused of regularly.
When I see the paranoid, delusional, indiscriminate rants against Muslims on this forum, most of them probably by people who have never talked with a Muslim in person, I begin to understand how anti-Semitism in the 1920s and 30s could culminate into the Holocaust, because today, we see the exact same thing, the exact same paranoid, delusional hatred directed against Muslims. Really, change "Jew" for "Muslim" and most of what people write on this forum qualifies as Nazi propaganda.
These rants against Muslims and their alleged agenda of taking over Europe is so delusional and paranoid I suspect it is clinically relevant. I agree with the poster who proposed neuroleptic medication to treat this condition.
What more? A bunch of right-wing extremists slapping each other on their shoulders, confirming each other's serious hate problem -- and all of them making wild accusations and simplifying, paranoid accusations against "the left" which are so ridiculous and lacking substance they could qualify as reality satire.
It's really disgusting.
