Do you like Arabic Muslims?

[Boudica]

Simple question. Do you like Arabic muslims/don't mind them? Discuss/explain your thinking. I'll make the poll anonymous, everyone please answer honestly.

[Hess]

No, and in my experience the dislike is Mutual. Rarely have I seen Arabs with a respect towards Europe/Europeans.

do you really think anyone on a European preservationist forum would like Muslim Arabs?

I certainly hope not, but comments insinuating this have been made before, we'll see.

The word "hate" is such a strong word.

Do I "hate" the ethnic self determination of an Arab nation?

No.

Do I "hate" the intrusion of Arabic people in my nation?

Yes.

Define the word 'hate'.

[Eroica]

Never had any problem with the Arab world. Personally speaking Arabs are some of the best people I know. I disagree with mass immigration regardless, though.

[Han Cholo]

I don't think what I feel for Arabs is enough to be considered hate or a threat. I just find some of their cultural aspects (especially Islam) quite deplorable and not a good example to look for.

On a less objetive view, pan-ethnic Arab nationalism has damaged a lot North Africa and the Middle East. Several semitic and non-semitic, non-arab ethnic groups were culturally fucked by Arab expansionism. Islam caused great damage in India/Pakistan and Iran.

So, you all don't think that they are a threat to European preservation? Is this what I'm gathering?

[Joe McCarthy]

With the possible exceptiion of the Turks the Arabs have been the West's and Europe's most enduring enemy.

I see no reason to pretend to like them - certainly not on this website.

But I think you are asking 2 different questions. Do you like them? Do you think they are a threat to European preservation?

I'm not sure one can make the jump from liking or not liking a people to thinking that they are a real, potential or immediate threat. "Threat" is a pretty emotionally-laden word in my books.


Do I like them? Sure, why not? Ask anyone who knows me, I like everyone.

Do I think they are a threat to European preservation? It depends on how you want to analyse the issue and define your terms.

I find their women often very attractive, and like most Olde World people, Arabs (Muslims, or otherwise) can be very warm, gracious, down-to-Earth, and otherwise pleasant to be around. But be that as it may, this is our part of the world, and they don't belong here (much as I do not belong in Syria, and I still wouldn't belong there, even if it somehow became the most prosperous and all-around pleasant place on Earth to live*).
