Indeed, the problem is that people just flat out refuse to process this information, because it's unpleasant. The exact same thing happens everywhere in Europe too, and is the biggest obstacle to eventually dealing with the problems.
To process this, along with some other things in life, one needs to be able to adjust his worldviews, and to entertain the notion that perhaps whatever his current belief of something is might be wrong.
It just seemed to me that a forum with lots of really intelligent people might be able to handle this material in a reasonable way.
It may prove to be really freaking unfortunate if our only option is to just let Islam in Europe unfold.
After what you said, I'm surprised that you flagged this too. Is preventing discussion really the right choice here? It's cute how you already got an upvote for the word "flagged".

And the thread is dead. The esteemed HN community did a nice job of self-censoring dissidence.
