ORIGINAL: Kirata Well hey, I'm in no position to insist, and I'm not insisting, that the story is true. But neither is anyone else in a position to insist that it isn't, despite them repeatedly doing so. Personally, I find it plausible and not particularly surprising. What surprises me is the frenzied attacks denying it. The "plausibility" might match your American perception about how things should be. Over here it makes not much sense. Austria having taken their quota of refugees pretty early (about the same number the USA takes btw) is a transit country for most. Most refugees these days enter the country at Spielfeld (Styria), get on buses and are crossing the country to the German border. The average Austrian hardly notices any difference except those living near Spielfeld. Those in the west of Austria (like Tirol) have good chances to see hardly any Syrian, Afghan etc. refugees at all. What we all, whether in Austria or Germany or some other neighbouring countries, see and hear daily, are our own rightwingers trying to profit from the situation. The rumours they start on a daily basis and distribute via their usual means are far more numerous, and absurd, as the example on this thread. Guns and the exaggerated headline of the article I quoted aside, I think you're painting more of a rosey picture of the Muslem migration than the reality. Fd isn't exactly a Neosnatzi rightwinger, far from it, and his observations on post #100 would suggest the Muslem migration is not a good thing.
