I’m sorry to hear that...I’ve read reports of people in Germany getting called into court for criticizing the migrants and Merkel locking down Facebook comments that are anti-immigrant. Really sad, people just put their heads in the sand while society collapses.

“........They are heading over for free stuff. They are bringing their tribalism and violence with them.”........

Note any similarities?

The Turks came over first

I was there in ‘85 when they were first coming in. Germans were very skeptical the time if it would work.

But I think you nailed it. Muslims are not just one culture.

I'm not sure we actually disagree on literally what you said, and it wasn't my intention to disagree literally.

Is blackness and/or African-ness the causal factor, or is 'black and African' enough to bound the group? No ... but ... if as you revealed you live/lived there or near there ... I bet your being local would make that a likely way to phrase it ... so no problem withdrawing my push back on what you were saying, I suspect it's a normal way to distinguish between groups of Muslims in the region ... and I'd guess someone not from the region (like me) would naturally say 'African Muslims'. I take no PC exception to using 'black.'

Less specifically, I agree that the real important point is that even if you were 100% wrong, and it were in fact white Canadians that were the problem, the reality that it is a literal crime in many places and a social crime almost anywhere in the west to merely use 'black' and 'African' to describe a group with negative connotations is a nightmare on the planet Orwell.
