It seems that Nordic lives in Europe, or goes there quite frequently. The Muslim issue to him probably means a helluva lot more than it does to most Americans. It is Muslims that are coming into Europe by the hundreds of thousands. You're damned straight it's going to have a major political impact there. Here in the US, the Muslims hold very, very little sway in politics...outside of Deeborn, MI, parts of Minneapolis, MN, and various suburbs of Buffalo, NY.
It is sad that many of the most hallowed institutions throughout Europe such as the Church, Government, Law Enforcement, Education, and overall Identity have largely been subverted and converted to the tenants of multiculturalism and diversity. It's as if the people in large over there somehow feel guilty and responsible for old colonialism and believe that the only recourse of apologizing is to allow mass migration and subversion of European culture in an attempt to appease it. In addition, the "Liberal" values, of which the US was formed upon, of personal freedoms and values, are supporting that which would otherwise completely oppose those core values......the spreading of Islam for one.
No one wants to bash an entire group of people, whether it be based on religion, race, culture, etc...nor does anyone want to be bashed who would fall in such category but do not share the same values of those who may take more extremist and violent views. But facts still need to be shown, even if those facts do offend someone. Political correctness be damned.
