Russian writer at Bloomberg: Hungarians are
xenophobic and old, by Ann Corcoran 4/16/18
And, according to Leonid
Bershidsky writing
at Bloomberg, they better get with it because they will demographically die if
they don’t admit young Muslim migrant workers.
That
is the gist of a too long opinion piece at Bloomberg. I’ve
snipped just a bit of the article entitled: Hungary Is Winning Its
War on Muslim Immigrants Is Hungarian Zoltan Kovacs “xenophobic”
or a realistic observer of the present and past!
Bershidsky: Orban’s Hungary…..is fiercely against a certain kind of
immigrant. “We’ve been living next to Islam and with Islam for
500 years and we know it’s not going to integrate,” government spokesman Zoltan
Kovacs told me in an interview this week. “We treat it as a civilizational
problem.”
According to Kovacs, Muslim immigrants create “parallel societies” in
the European countries that receive them, and Hungarians want none of that. Indeed — though it may be the
result of relentless government propaganda — according to a 2016 Pew Research
study, 72 percent of Hungarians have a negative view of Muslims in their
country, compared with the EU average of 43 percent.
Sounding
exasperated Bloomberg writer Bershidsky opines as he wraps up with this: The best other European countries can do is
demonstrate that Muslim immigrants can be successfully integrated to society’s
benefit. It’s a long game, but if it goes well, hard evidence will
eventually convince those who don’t understand yet that, unaided, Europe’s
aging demographics are unsustainable.
And,
my response: what
if Muslim integration doesn’t go well elsewhere in Europe (it doesn’t show promise now!)? It is a
big IF!
And,
frankly given a choice of dying via an aging proud Hungarian population and
dying by becoming a Muslim/Sharia dominant country, I would take the former
over the latter. Wouldn’t you! Read it all here (if you feel like it!). My
‘Invasion of Europe’ archive is here.
