The banlieues (suburbs) surrounding Paris and Brussels are absolutely infested with Arabs, Africans, and (apparently Kurds). They're so infested with poverty, crime, and violent riots that they often make our inner cities look like models of civility by comparison. And unlike our inner cities, this is a problem that the French and Belgian governments could have easily avoided by not allowing Arabs, Berbers, Kurds etc. into their countries to begin with.

That being said, I'm a little surprised that Kurds are behind this. They have a reputation of being at least slightly less stupid and fanatical than Arabs, which granted isn't a high bar to clear.

They’re any number of reasons why NATO countries have refused to help the USA in the war with Iran, one of those reasons is most of those NATO countries are afraid to because of the reaction Muslims in their countries might have, the continual riots are bad now, if the UK, France or some other country was helping the USA with Iran, the currents riots would be just a warmup to what might happen.

“not allowing Arabs, Berbers, Kurds etc. into their countries to begin with.”

You mean like the U.S. has? Oh, and Chinese and Indians and on and on.
