If the data shows over 50% don't have issues with our values, you don't see an issue with a headline suggesting (most) refugees do?
Plus, those media sources leave out the fact that 37% of respondents are from Afghanistan. It’s funny how the number of people wanting separate schools is also 37%. That's kind of like mixing up meat and cabbage when making stuffed rolls 😁.

It's hard for me to wrap my head around one person wanting to implement Sharia law in this country, or questioning women's right to work, or the fact that over a third want gender-segregated schools.

Well, yeah, it's problematic, but the media twists the picture by leaving out crucial details and misrepresenting others. I truly believe that way we just move further away from actually solving anything, since nobody ever bothers looking at the real causes. This link you shared from CNN is probably the best example. The truth is, some people integrate easier than others. We pretty much know who struggles and who doesn't. Mixing it all together and slapping on a headline like they did... I guess it's just counterproductive and destructive for everyone trying to help with integration. It's just bad for society, really.

Maybe pick a side on whether there's a problem or not, then write a post that stays consistent from start to finish.

I've been talking about the fallout from colonialism and poor policy—foreign, domestic, integration stuff... I guess it's not clear which part of my stance you mean? Of course we see the consequences. Maybe someone else wrote something different and you're just confusing me with them.

Nathan Morris3 said:I mean, you wrote a headline that doesn't even match the actual numbers in the article—classic media spin. The facts show most people aren't actually having issues with how liberal Austrians are, especially since you included stats that totally contradict your own point.

Well, maybe if 37% of those surveyed are from Afghanistan, coming from tribal communities, it makes sense that 100% of them are used to separate schools and religious laws. I guess it's just hard when people arrive from tribal backgrounds. So, the result isn't really a surprise to me. It seems like the data is being cherry-picked or twisted just to push a certain narrative, probably for both sides. But, I suppose if we want to fix things, we really need to look at these numbers more carefully.

37% expressed a preference for single-sex schooling and gender-segregated swimming lessons.

While 90% view democracy as the ideal form of government, about 40% believe religious penalties should be integrated into state laws.

Additionally, 20% are opposed to women having the right to work.

Susan Green2 said:We ought to be addressing the root causes rather than merely reacting to the symptoms, a distinction politicians understand perfectly well, yet they lie to the public simply because they are terrified of losing their seats. If Trump had suggested putting rape prevention alarms on every headline in Vienna, he would have been immediately branded a racist or a xenophobe.

I find it utterly inconceivable that in the 21st century, major American cities would need to resort to handing out preventative alarms to ward off sexual assault. It is an absolute disgrace.

What happens when the entire city just grinds to a halt?!🤔

People used to say "naive as a French maid," but nowadays they might just say "naive as a Swedish liberal"...

Congrats to the American people.

There are serious allegations being leveled against the Swedish police, suggesting they may have suppressed reports regarding widespread sexual assaults involving refugees at a recent music festival. These claims involve groups of youths, reportedly arriving from Afghanistan, who allegedly targeted young girls as young as 11 or 12 during the yearly festivities.
