Of course muslims face extensive discriminationin western europe, up to regularly being assaulted and murdered by facists. What the fuck are you talking about, that noting that would be racist?
That's an insanely eurocentric perspective of a subject that includes violence in Muslim majority countries. And do show me the statistics of Muslims being murdered in hate crimes in Europe, would love to see that. Between or simplistic mindset and reality there's a world of difference though.
And again, fascism is far from being Christian exclusive, it's probably more common among Muslims. Open your eyes.
How is burning of books in western european countries not relevant to western europe? As for Muslims being murdered in hate crime in Europe:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanau_shootings
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_Underground
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Munich_shooting
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halle_shooting - note how the attacker went on to attack a kebap shop, after failing to gain entry to a synagogue
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Norway_attacks - note that the key motivation of the attack was hate against Islam, that led to the murder of 77 mostly teenagers
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Islamophobic_incidents Note that these only represent a fraction of actual incidents.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fl%C3%BCchtlingsfeindliche_Angriffe_in_der_Bundesrepublik_Deutschland
https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/innenpolitik/fluechtlingsunterkuenfte-anschlaege-103.html
In Germany alone there have been over 12.000 attacks against refugee shelters, mainly motivated by the same ideology of Breivic, imagining a muslim immigration that would cause an exodus of white people. Of these attacks 285 were Arson and more than 2.000 attacks on refugees at shelters since 2015.
Again, note how the attacks are embedded in a specific hate against muslims, that is also cojoined with antisemitism and other aspects of facist ideology.
Also stop deflecting to the state in other countries, since two wrongs dont make a right, and again it is absurd for countries like Denmark or Sweden to compare themselves with failed states like Afghanistan, Lybia or Iraq, where unsuprsingly violence is more prevalent, since they are in a civil war.
And yet all those attacks are easily overshadowed by hate murders against Europeans by Islamic terrorists, who are also fascist. You're right, two wrongs don't make a right. Nazis in Europe and Islamic fascists wherever are both abhorrent. Burning a book is just burning a book.
Oh dear.
That's basically negationism of all the massacres that been happening in Europe in this century. I'm leaving this community, this is unacceptable from a mod. It was already unfortunate that the Europe community was under a .de URL. But this appeasement to Islamic terrorism is just disgusting. Good bye.
You're literally denying the death toll os the Paris, Madrid or Nice attacks. Each with a higher death toll than the ones mentioned before. Again, disgusting, appalling, sickening and no wonder the far right grows every time creeps like you speak on behalf of the left, even though that behavior is the antipode of what being on the left means.
Sickening.
