Considering what has been going on in the Middle East (and the MENA region, in general), Germany, and Sweden, the concern is rather valid. If you want to use the word xenophobia, apply it in the correct context rather than using it as a buzzword for character assassination. |
No, being a liberal and being for open immigration policies are very much the match made in heaven :).
Yes, he has an irrational fear of muslims. Banning people of an ENTIRE religion consisting of 1.5 billion people based on what a small, small percentage does, is weak and irrational.
In Sweden, we have far more issues with right-wing extremists protesting in the streets, assulting women and kids and setting fire to asylum camps than we have with muslims. Still, I wouldn´t ban all right-wing people because of what a few does. Simply because I´m not irrational, but rather a rational human being who understands that the world is more complex.
