    It's ok if they are Muslim. You don't have to be ashamed of your Iranian Muslim background.

    Not all Muslims are bad obviously, and there are different branches of it, some tolerable. But Europe should not be taking in millions of these ME "refugees" who come from ass-backwards cultures.

    Most of the Iranians (I think they'd prefer the term "Persians") who left Iran in the late 20th century were not really Muslim (or barely so in name only) and had major qualms with the government for that (not solely) reason.

    It's not surprising that quite a few of the ones you meet in the United States have the mentality that Rocketslegend does. I've been friends with a number of them who do not even like Iranians in/of Iran.

    As far as on topic goes, at this point I would not blame western powers for very aggressively taking action against entire Muslim populations.

    Something has to give and the acts of terrorism that are occurring are getting too much for pretty much everyone.

    Multiculturalism works if the citizens chose to keep the best parts of each culture for a society.

    I believe that somewhere deep down, we all share a similar core of principles. Some cultures are more similar to others, and those are the ones that gel best with each other living together. The key in many societies seems to be good upbringing and traditional father and mother figures, added with a school system that encourages reason, logic, and hardwork.

    Shocker: I would blame western powers if they were to aggressively take action against entire Muslim populations. You cannot do that. You cannot punish people in Afghanistan who can barely read and who don't know anything about the world for the terror of some other Afghans in Europe. I don't have a clear solution, but I don't think bombing their countries is the solution, it would just exacerbate and escalate the conflict even further, because you would basically give the terrorists what they want.

    I do think we need to know who is entering Europe, and who is in Europe, however. Unfortunately, I think we need to vet Muslims trying to immigrate (including refugees) much much better.

    We still should not "aggressively take action against entire Muslim populations."

    Iranian society under the Shah was fairly secular. Khomeini brought back Islamism. People who fled the country from those Islamists - it's MORE than understandable that they are critical of Islam. They can see how it messed up their country.
