That's such a huge load of one-eyed nonsense. And yes, it does indicate deeply held prejudice against people, not just ideology/religion.

You talk about the real world, but you wouldn't have a skerrick of insight into the real lives of the migrants you hold in contempt, and your posts demonstrate that. Your world, as you express it on here, is a total fantasy.

What are Skids's issues regarding Muslims doing on this thread? It needs to be moved to a separate thread as the waters here are muddied with Skid's obsession. Skids is juxtaposing muslims with this thead about Sudanese being perpetrators of crime. That in itself should sufficent reason to separate it out.

Why is it a "huge load of one-eyed nonsense" ?

Mass immigration of Muslims, while not perhaps the greatest cause of grief around the world, is certainly a major cause of problems. From London, to Atocha, to New York City, to Paris and Manchester and Nice and Belgium and on, the many dead as a result of Islamic terror, and the powerfully divisive rhetoric of Islam once embedded, should make Korea pause before it makes the same mistake as we have.

Only in the world of modern leftist ideology would one be vilified for deprecating an action which increases the chances of having thousands murdered on your soil. It is not "prejudice" to recognize that Islam makes ideological claims on a host society that (say) Chinese and Indians do not.

The hyperventilation from one side on this subject, as usual, suggests an hysterical desire to face down reality by shouting louder at anyone indecorous enough to insist upon it.

So Sth Korea doesn't want any, I don't recall Japan putting their hands up, nor the two most populous nations on Earth, India and China.

And then Hal you can elucidate the difference between an "inescapable inference" and a tangential one such as suggesting that a post about Yemenis seeking asylum in Korea is a lot of things.
