      I thought that was a Mexican border only thing, turns out European leaders do the same shitty fear monger

      I guarantee every coastie wants to rescue live folks, color doesn’t matter in the sea. It’s the politicians saying no to human lives

        Yeah, I know all about that, they use the " brown immigrants are terrorists" in my country too in order to exploit people’s latent racism.

        To have a point you’d have to compare those instances to violence by Europeans against eachother, by being selective you’re feeding a narrative that brown immigrants are more violent than Europeans. That’s already been demonstrated to be false. You’re being manipulated by fascists.

          You know, you could be less racist. Not all “brown” immigrants are muslims. Remember, Islam is an ideology, like fascism. Its not about the color of your skin.

            So, even if we assume those 122 attacks were committed by immigrants, how does that compare to violent crimes committed by Europeans themselves? 122 incidents over 9 years is remarkably low for a single demographic. How many bad actors is that per event? How many immigrants are there total and how many committed these crimes?

            It’s racist fear mongering.

                No ones moving goal posts. Give a ballpark of how many immigrants were involved in those 122 attacks.

                You’re making the argument that brown immigrants are more dangerous than Europeans and you’re then trying to exclude all types of violent crime except that labeled terror attacks to obfuscate the reality that immigrants are statistically no more dangerous than Europeans themselves. It’s dishonest.

                Even in terms of terrorism, the majority has historically been committed by domestic groups (ex. nationalists, political extremists, separatists etc.), not immigrants. Again, this is very similar to my own country where domestic terrorism is actually the greater threat than that from immigrants.

                  Okay, you want to move the goal posts. Tell me, per capita, who commits more violent crime? Muslims or non-muslims?

                    Per capita, men commit more violent crime than women. It’s not even close. Do you support restrictions on men just based on their gender?
