Elerond Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Errr, the Syrian refugees Finland weren't evn 3% of the total number of refugees. This is the list of the top 6. Iraq: 20485 Afghanistan: 5214 Somalia: 1981 Syria: 877 Albania: 762 (what?) Iran: 619 A total of 32 476, where over 70% where men in fighting age. Yes I understand your concern, I may not share your view about them being all being dangerous but seriously ....WTF are people from those countries doing immigrating to Finland? Its more the principle for me because I understand the shared burden of the EU but I still think its unfair to expect countries like Finland to just accept these refugees and have no concerns It should be optional but as I keep saying the ME countries must take more refugees before Europe has to Most of those that have come are economical refugees that will not get asylum. But asylum process is slow and stiff, which is why Finland has gained popularity addition to fact that we are rich. Like for example there is nearly zero change that people from Albania will get asylum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceVC Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Yes but do you think its a problem in Finland? In other words has the Finnish government failed around this Yes, it has caused and will cause problems in Finland and governments (these aren't new problems and have continued through several governments) have failed to solve them. And that failure cause quarrels in general population, which of course can lead that these problems expand and become even worse. Okay but are you talking about the 20k Syrian refugees that have just arrived in Finland? Isn't it too early to say the Finnish government has failed ? Dont get me wrong I can understand if this is the issue...its normal but I just want to be sure we are talking about the same thing? You think that those 40k refugees are only refugees/immigrants that there are in Finland? Those are just ones that cause additional stress to existing policies/systems that have problems, where get to the point that it isn't necessary most solid policy to add stress to policies/systems that don't work and hope that they work. Okay I didnt realize Finland had such a problem with refugees.....I have to be honest because of the harsh weather I wouldn't think Finland would be so popular...also your language, no one can understand it It has not been popular. Between 1970-2012 Finland gave asylum to 48k refugees and even that amount causes problems with existing policies and systems. And now government tries to use those same systems and policies for those that 40k have come in past year. Can you see why there maybe some more problems in future? Absolutely, of course I can see the issue and frustration Its not going to destroy your country but this whole refugee debacle is complicated and annoying All the Albanians are economic migrants from Kosovo. Local newspapers reported a sudden surge in their movement, usually crossing Serbia to get to Hungary. From what I saw it was very coordinated and sort of started "overnight", not as a trickle. I don't even know why this is still argued primarily as a "refugee" issue when a significant portion aren't refugees at all. Well if thats true then its just wrong because economic refugees aren't the same as refugees driven away from years of conflict and brutal war like the Syrians "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ibrahim El Bakraoui, who yesterday blew himself up at Brussels Airport, was arrested in Gaziantep in southern Turkey close to the Syrian border last summer. Officials said he was deported to Holland before being passed back over to Belgium. The president said Belgian authorities had failed to confirm the suspect's links to terrorism 'despite our warnings that he was a foreign fighter' Well, i do not trust the Turks, so why should this info bear any merit.

But there it is anyway. Yes I heard this on CNN, it shouldn't be seen as too seriously because I'll be honest there are smalls cells of people living within the EU that want to attack it This is irrefutable, its just a reality of living in the EU. It can be addressed and security will be improved so I wouldnt worry too much You should at least try to like Turkey more, they will be taking in refugees that were headed to the EU...and its a win for the West because have you noticed its okay for any non-Western country to abuse human rights like how the refugees are being housed in Turkey. But thats not a problem we should worry about...its a Turkey decision "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Volourn Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Also. Western media reporting news in the west. IMAGINE THAT. That said, I do agree with the sentiment. This idea that ISIS (or AQ) is anti Wst/US for anything they did is ridiculous. Those groups hate pretty much everybody including and ESPICIALLY other Muslims. Whgich is why I don't get why many Muslims and pro Muslims keep making excuses for extremists. Too many times we hear is 'what they did BUT..." No. there is no but. Sane people don't go " what the christian extremists di was wroing BUT.." Ther eis no BUT. PERIOD. 1 DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Sane people don't go " what the christian extremists di was wroing BUT.." Ther eis no BUT. PERIOD. This is some good insights and I can answer your primary question because I also battled to answer this " why the almost defense of Islamic extremists from members of the Muslim community " Much of the Islamic world is going through a crisis of identity and foundation So they feel to criticize ISIS undermines all Muslims and they also think all of the West thinks all Muslims are like ISIS You wont believe some of things I have heard from SA Muslims but we just need them to go through it "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Well, technically I'm in the Netherlands now, but the same would apply to Serbia. We don't have terrorist attacks (nowadays) but there's more criminality than there used to be.

Hurlshot I wasn't going to ask you this because I think this may annoy me but I'm curious You teach your kids about groups like ISIS and once again I am amazed how effective your education system is and how dedicated you are But who teaches you about ISIS? So for example I would like to ask you 3 questions about ISIS, I am not going to agree or disagree with your responses I just want to see how you respond How did ISIS get created What does ISIS want Who is aligned with ISIS globally? I'm sorry if these may seem hard so please only answer what you can or want to "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
