Are the mass number of Middle Eastern economic migrants going to Europe a good or bad thing? 🤔

Agreed.

How about anyone else?

...Damn.

That’s actually a pretty good analogy.

Never really thought of it that way.

Ehhhhh, I wouldn’t say the smartest.

There’s really no way to legitimately tell.

Plus I’d say it’s a little callous to just claim you’re the smartest out of the like 2,000 people here.

Taking into account the average IQ scores of every country on Earth, as long as you have an IQ of 90 you’re automatically smarter than almost 3 billion people.

However, these 2,000 people here are highly likely to not be from these countries.

Rather from Europe and North and South America.

I wouldn’t say all of them despise the West.

They’re mostly African, Middle-Eastern and Indian countries.

Right.

There’s some like Saudi Arabia.

But even then their customs are radically different.

By that I mean the Saudis are allies, whoops.

Correct.

In the West, at least.

There’s been a massive boom of Christian followers in Asia, primarily in South Korea and China.

Especially SK.

China’s not really “communist” per se anymore, much more Socialist.

But yes.

The restrictions are much lighter now than a while ago, but yes, they’re still there.

Christianity is one of the PRC’s five government-protected religions, however.

Buddhism, Taoism, Islam and something else.

Don’t remember.

China has a high Islamic population in its Xinjiang Autonomous Region, in the West.

It’s home to the Uyghurs, a primarily Turkic people.

It’s mostly Eurasian steppe and desert.

Not too many people live out there.

It’s similar to Tibet, in that there’s been a lot of separatist sentiment in the area because it’s ethnic people and culture are very different to the ruling Han Chinese.

Thus the reason it gets a lot of autonomy.

However, while Islam itself is a gov’t-protected religion, Native Islamic Uyghurs in Xinjiang so face a lot of persecution by the non-Uyghurs living there.

Mainly because they’ve been a pain in the PRC’s side since the late 40’s when they annexed the then independent Xinjiang warlord state, the last warlord state of the Chinese Civil War to be reintegrated into a unified China.

There are still very Christian countries in the West that cling onto the religion quite firmly, most of them being Mediterranean counties like Italy, Spain and Greece, along with the vast majority of Latin American states as well.

America’s a mixed bag. Atheism is popular in large metropolitan areas while religion holds strong in the countryside, very similarly to the Democrat/Republican divide.

In the UK, it’s just dying everywhere.

Yep.

Islam.
