What I find rather ironic about this whole thing is that the birth rate of Turks in Turkey is absolutism plummeting - their fertility rate is only around 1.5, while the Kurdish fertility rate is far higher, around 4.2. That’s right - within a few generations, Turkey will be majority Kurdish.
Why dont the Germans import their cheap labor from Mexico, you ask?
That would take away votes from the Democrat party here in the US.
I think something else is going on, too. The Turks got real competition from the young and eager workforce coming in from the ex-communist regimes. The Western Europeans prefer to hire people from Eastern Europe or the ex-Soviet Union states.
IT IS OUR LEGAL IMMIGRATION THAT IS THE MAIN PROBLEM. We are importing poverty. 57% of immigrant headed households with children are on at least one welfare program.
“Demographics is destiny. Parts of Western Europe will become Islamic again.”
Try selling that thesis to the losers of the St. Barts Day massacre in 1522.
Man IS a territorial organism with a strong propensity for in-group amity and out-group enmity.
CIA Factbook: Turkish 70-75%, Kurdish 18%, other minorities 7-12% (2008 est.) I don't see how that is mathmatically possible in only a few generations. Since Turkey does not record the number of Kurds separately as an ethnic group in their census figures, the exact numbers are really unknown.
We need a new King Jan Sobieski of Poland to defeat the Turks.
From Mexcio?? Hell, import them from the US illegal immigrant population. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
Hitler 2.0 coming sooner than i thought. This kid doesn’t realize it but fascism is the escape valve that europe relies on to purify the herd. wait till the welfare state collapses under its own weight. yeah pass the popcorn alright!!
There is no leader to stop them.
From what I’ve read, estimates place the Kurds at become 2/5ths of the population of Turkey by 2050. So expecting them to become a majority, in, say, 3 generations (75 years) doesn’t seem all that unreasonable, especially considering that the ethnic Turkish population will rapidly begin to age over the coming decades.
The Germans/Austrians are helpless to defend themselves, because they are loaded down with their Nazi past.
However, the Turks won’t find it so easy to overcome the Poles. The Poles beat them once before at the gates of Vienna.
I thought that the Kurds and Turks had some friction over self determination issues.
Indigenous Europeans are losing the battle of the bedroom - having fewer children than needed for replacement of population, while the immigrant population has a greater-than-replacement birthrate. The takeover need not be violent; just let exponential growth and decay functions operate for a few decades, and the game is over.
Likewise in the US - decades of high abortion rates and low birth rates for the indigenous population, combined with both immigration and high birth rates among immigrants, translates into replacement of indigenous with immigrant residents.
They do, which is why Kurds becoming a majority, in, say, the military, let alone as part of the general population would be so disastrous for Turkey. The Kurds have been fighting the Turks for independence on-again off-again for centuries, and the current conflict in eastern Turkey has been going on for more then three decades and claimed tens of thousands of lives.

The Kurds seem to look a bit different than the Turks.
Ever heard of the Ottoman Empire? It was almost as big as Europe...and included a significant portion of Europe.

You’re the guru of my toilet.
