Hostility against the Muslims in Europe

In recent times, a number of countries in Europe and Scandinavia have been taking many immigrants (legal/ illegal, asylum seekers, refuges) from Middle-East, Africa and elsewhere. Many of these immigrants are Muslim. Naturally you will find some segment of society that will be unhappy especially when the immigrants who are so unlike them in many ways failed to ‘adjust’ or integrate in the society that is hosting them.

I’m reading about a demonstration in Germany against the Muslims

PEGIDA says it is not racist or xenophobic, says it opposes extremism and calls for the preservation of the country's Judeo-Christian culture.

Group protesting what its supporters see as the "Islamization of Europe." [1]

Why do Muslims who fall on hard times always run to western countries?

Islam promotes the idea of equality among all the races, more so among the folks who share the same religion as you. Islam also promotes the idea of migration or traveling for better opportunity or avoiding majar catastrophe (plenty of examples in the early days of Islam and in the pre-Islamic time). Despite this, you are not going to find many Muslim/Islamic countries that will open their doors to immigrants who are at a very disadvantaged position or poor. And this is where Europe should be commended and praised …for taking in these immigrants, many of them who are Muslim, who really don’t have many travel options.

Luckily, not everyone think immigrants deserve to be treated with such hostility

A petition backed by 80 public figures in Germany slammed the “hollow prejudices” of Pegida, a protest movement that has organized a series of demonstrations against the “Islamization of the West.”

The petition was published in the Tuesday edition of the Bild, a German Daily. Its authors slammed Pegida, saying the movement “appeals to hollow prejudices, xenophobia and intolerance,” the BBC reports. [2]
