Among our team members are several Muslims so we in general do not suffer from "Islamophobia" that many do. Ironically it was they that raised this very question.

While every person on earth deserves a better life, they also need to respect the law of the land in which they wish to live in. Much is happening in world and its only going to get worse. Most do not want to adapt to the local languages, tradition and ways. We know a adopted German teenager of French/Eqyptian decent, and he states that his Muslim classmates have become the majority in the school, refuse to do their class assignments, their parents do not support the teachers, and they continuously speak Arabic in school instead of German.

My parents are migrants that escaped communism in the early 60's, and fled to the former region known as Yugoslavia so that they can in turn seek asylum in Italy where they cooperated with local authorities. Their life journey eventually led them to a legal ticket to the US, for which I am forever grateful.

The heart breaks for those that are displaced by war, and we must do everything to help them. They in turn need to respect the people from whom they seek shelter. Sadly there is a dangerous mentality among men from certain countries which tolerates and even encourages little formal education, disrespect for general law and order, and places women in danger. For off the chart volatile crime statistics check out what has happened in Sweden.

Europe in general has changed over the last 20 years for the worse. Great for trade/business, but very bad for quality of life. Clearly unique traditions and customs have eroded. What is unfolding now -> if not managed correctly will destroy Europe as we know it.
