Re: Bashing European "cowardice" (none / 1)

Western cities suffer from many criminal gangs: Turkish, Serbian, Russian, Romanian, whatever. I don't see it as a particularly Muslim problem. It is not very productive to stress that aspect. Immigrants with the same background tend to stick together, and sometimes behave like criminal groups. It is more like economic barbarism than religious or national stand.

Re: Bashing European "cowardice" (none / 0)

And even more to the point, the immigrants, the illegal ones, were transported by gangs, stay under the control of the gangs when they arrive and are afraid of the police.

We have problems here with this sort of crap, and it's almost always organised crime from within the ethnic groups committing crimes against members of the ethnic groups. We had some Chinese kidnapping rings that seemed terribly surprised when the police came after them: they didn't expect anyone to care.
