Indeed a bit too much muslim bashing, I agree with Nitefox.
The part about the economic malaise in europe.. well I guess this is not because we are europe but just because we are richer then most other countries...of course the balance can go only one way from there. Even when we work 7 days per week, don't take holidays and dump social welfare systems, then the chinese, indians etc. are still a lot cheaper.

OK, macro economic forces, Globalism's influence, rather than something wholly in the control of any given government, or the EU "authorities."
Your reply illustrates rather than answers my puzzlement on why some Europeans appear to happy to bash "European culture," (a rather loose term, don't you think?) while decrying a slight at, for example, Muslim culture as you have just done.
Seems inconsistent. What common cultural assumption is at work here?
