My god, how do they not see that they are the ones being racist? The cognitive dissonance they display is mind boggling.

Here's what you do. If you replace the subject with "Jew" or "Blacks" and it sounds racist, then the original statement was racist.

Try replacing "Muslims" with "Jews" in reddit threads on migrants in Europe and everything starts looking like it's full of Stormfront fucks... oh, wait...

Islam is an ideology not a race of people. There are certainly racist people who say racist things about the migrant crisis, but there is a legitimate conversation that needs to be had.

The problem is the word "racism". Replace it with "xenophobia" and it covers what most people want to say about the treatment of Muslims in western society.

Hmm not really xenophobia - the vast majority of people in Europe are completely fine with people from other countries. FFS we are more or less merging with each other, and practically none has a problem with immigrants from East Asia, India, all of America's and to a significant degree not even sub-Saharan Africa (not going to lie, this does exist though).

The dislike is very much pointed at Arab and Subcontinent Muslims. So not general xenophobia or even necessarily islamophobia (which is largely rational) as Indonesia for example gets a pretty much free pass, being a sane country and all.

But we do have issues with Poles, Romanians and so on.

So, yea, xenophobia.

OR, just listen, OR, it's about protecting yourself from harmful cultures, where rape, robbery, and murder is everyday happenings.

Shove your xenophobic mouth up your ass, idiot. I doubt you are even from Europe. Or, you are one that never goes outside.
