Europeans enjoy:
21-30 days annual leave a year + ~10 national holidays;
Steady economic growth;
High quality of life/standard of living due to generous social welfare, education and healthcare programs;
A culture that is based around 'working to live' rather than 'living to work';
Decent food;
Relatively small gaps between rich and poor;
Negligible levels of comparative gun and drug-related crime;
Beautiful architecture;
Ok then answer me this, why is it that most muslims in europe as a whole are dirt poor and jobless? Why are there so many protests by them if europe is so well off? Riots and attacks in europe by them because of the social gaps(we arnt getting attacked by our own citizens on a weekly basis). Relatively small gaps between rich and poor? Thats not true, and your opinion on crime is lacking, The criminals have the guns, and there is or are alot of drug users in europe, places like russia make sure of that. Why actually the rates of gun use in england and affiliated parts of the UK have actually risen, Now, the gangs of kids in london and other places(that are a big problem) have shifted there attention to useing guns as a means of solving there disputes, where as it was Knives not too long ago. Rates of gun violence might be lower there, but it is on the rise none the less.
Those muslims of which you speak are:
a) Not homeless
b) Not hungry
c) Not going to be turned away when in need of medical assistance
d) Comparatively speaking - not poor, because social welfare pays their way through life
France has social problems when it comes to muslims. Most other EU countries don't.
Everything else I said, in relative terms compared against USA, stands true (including the gun crime bit).
