I think I remember reading that some leader of the Danish Nazi party got kicked out from the party because he married a Christian Palestinian woman. He constantly tried to defend himself with her "being a white Middle Easterner".
That's what I thought.

So Islam is just one reason, but even if it was not for Islam there would still be discrimination.

Religion is an issue though, as I pointed out, my future father-in-law told me to my face, in a nonaggressive way, that he could not accept a Muslim son-in-law, in fact he would be upset with a non-Catholic, but he could at least tolerate a Protestant.

When he first found out about me, he told my fiancee's mother something like "Swiss women should be with Swiss men!" However, he did agree to meet me, they had me over for dinner, and we got on very well. I think after he was informed I was raised Catholic, and he realized that I act "Western" he kind of relaxed a bit.

He still doesnt' like my future sister-in-laws Spanish boyfriend, referring to him as Der Spanier...never by his name, and she has been dating him for years! That has nothing to do with "race" or "ethnicity" though, more the fact he is lazy.


So I can see how some folks have major issues over religion, but in secular Europe, that is fairly rare, I'm thinking this has to do a lot with "race", religion is secondary.

Immigrant does convey the criminality of those its describing so it is natural to use it for blacks etc as describing them as foreigners or migrants would chaff with their criminal mentality. I think any so called 'immigrant' who objects tobeing classified as a migrant or foreigner a terrorist.
What the hell are you on about?
