Re: Syrian refugee crisis.
Yip, my family go back for generations there. I have seen posters up saying this is an islamic area & their rules need to be followed. My husband (then boyfriend) was punched on the train at Whitechapel once for daring to sit with his arm around me. This attitude I completely blame on the left mollycoddling telling them they don't need to integrate because we'll bend over backwards to accommodate their needs.

Saudi Arabia want's to help Germany by building mosques.
In 2014 Saudi Arabia accepted apparently 561 refugees and 100 asylum seekers.

If only we could expand the planet, or just learn to get along, but human history has pretty much shown that isn't likely, the getting along with one another part.

Re: Syrian refugee crisis.
Hopefully, I think people are starting to realise that the multi-cultural ideal is not going to work if you have some cultures intolerant of others & refusing to change. We've had centuries of continuous change & evolving as a society but people who come from countries with no diversity & are used to everything being done their way have a completely different mindset. It's not necessarily their fault but it doesn't make a harmonious living environment

This is mad, why doesn't Saudi Arabia just take more? They would feel more settled in a country similar to their own anyway.

Re: Syrian refugee crisis.
My view is that the cultural incompatibilities are driven by religious differences, and that only by phasing out religion will we achieve some kind of multi-cultural harmony. I find the idea of a mosque building program retrograde, especially when Britain and other European nations have been doing so well at converting unused churches into flats.
Agreed religion does seem to be the great divider

I know the top story on the BBC news website is a bit obscure and hard to find, so here you go:
