I have a good question for you, insecure. Why do muslims living in Europe receive lower wages compared to Christians and even atheists/agnostics?
Where do you get that information?
I am careful with looking for answers to gratuitous assertions.
And why do I have to answer for questions like that?
What does it have to do with the violence against LGBTQ?
Are you looking for a justification for the use of violence by some muslims against LGBTQ?
Or are you just trying to divert attention from the issues?
and since we're at it, why do muslims in Europe oftentimes live in the worst neighborhoods, while Christians, atheists and agnostics seem to generally live in nicer places?
Again, is this gratuitous assertion correct?
What I do know is that in Belgium, if you only have one income as a couple, this often leads to poverty.
I also know that many muslim men don't want their wife to work, for fear of being approached by other men.
Here in Belgium, most poverty occurs with single parents, religion plays very little part in that.
And social houses go for a disproportionately high part to foreigners, often muslims.
So they have no reason to complain, at least not to authorities or the country that gives them the opportunity to get social housing.
Last time I visited such a neighbourhood, I could see garbage bags stacked in a very dirty way on top of each other, in a way that is not allowed.
So the fact that they are bad neighbourhoods, is also often caused by the behaviour of those people themselves.
Also, why do so many muslim people in Europe speak of discrimination, when Europe is supposedly about tolerance and rainbows and tree-hugging and all of that? In fact, I find these questions so pressing I may start my own thread about them.
Well, go ahead.
I find that muslims are very good at playing the victim.
The topic is about violence
to LGTBQ
by muslims.
But the first thing muslims or their defenders do is to divert attention from that and portray muslims as the big victims.
Not only is it untrue but it is no justification for this behaviour.
Like I said, Belgium spends huge amounts on social housing, but when you look at the way some of those residents ruin these buildings, it is a complete disgrace.
Some people are illegally in the country and rent from people with bad intentions, and often those taking advantages are foreigners themselves.
Same with illegal work, in which the illegal person borrows a card from a Belgian with foreign roots, who then cashes most of the wage.
Oh yeah, I happened to be in Ghent the moment Erdogan won Turkish elections the other day.
I saw lots of muslims waving Turkish flags on their cars, making dangerous manoeuvres in traffic, honking for a long time.
It seems laws and rules are only for others.
But feel free to open another thread to complain about things.
