La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for February 10, 2016

Agrestic replyed: @OlongapojoeSo you’re saying we should take out the actions of a few individuals on a whole community? By that logic, all white folks should be banned from national park and refuge lands because of Bundy & Co.

As far as “assimilation,” what do you even mean? You’re just using really backwards language there. And seriously? You’re going to chalk it up to Shia vs. Sunni? I’ll bet you were saying the exact opposite in the late 70s.

Oh, and the whole “ooo, scary, Europe’s way of life is going to disappear!” thing is just the old anti-immigrant rhetoric warmed over. People have been saying that about Latino and Asian immigrants to the US since, like, forever, and somehow the Superbowl is as popular as ever.

To:Olongapojoe GoComics PRO Member said, 2 days agoAll the gnashing and wailing about the Syrian refugees would have fallen on more sympathetic ears a few years ago, but with the actions of a few bad Syrians and other fanatical Muslim immigrates that has all but disappeared. The biggest problem is the middle easterners refusal to assimilate into the host country’s society. The one exception being Iranians, we have a great Iranian community in Dearborn MI that fits well into Michigan society. The difference being their faith which is Shiite not Sunni. Even the Greeks who wept openly over children drowning are so jaded they now basically say ‘oh well’. Europe has to realize it cannot be the welcoming arms for Middle Easterners unless they wish the European way of life to disappear.

Question: Agrestic how are you able to read into my statement all the hate and bigotry you seem to believe was in the statement?
