Thread Name: BS: Netherlands solves Muslim problem
Subject: RE: BS: Netherlands solves Muslim problem
A good case in point to show that in countries where social prejudice against immigrants is less prevalent, the immigrant population is far less likely to become radicalized.
Which is not to say that there is no discrimination against immigrants in the US (because there is), or against Muslims (there is), but it certainly looks like immigrants who are Muslims get treated a lot better here than they do in some European countries (quite possibly because of the vastly larger numbers of people in the US overall... it's probably much easier to get lost in the crowd here than in much of Europe).
A good argument, I think, for guarding against any increase in discrimination and/or prejudice against Muslims here in the US.
