So...
What I'm hearing is that Christians hate competition?
Christianity is falling into ill repute, while a more conservative, theocratic, intolerant, and dangerous religion fills the void. It’s not a cause for celebration, by any means.
How is my theory Bollocks if you brought in Hundreds of thousands of refugees (mainly men so it seems) and you don't have jobs for them for what another 2 or 3 years , 5 years total? How stupid was that?
Some immigration is good and productive if done to benefit your society. Unlimited immigration of those who don't speak the language, have few needed skills in the age of technology and don't have the same cultural norms is not a good recipe for success.

You might think that human rights are a stupid thing to have, which is why I'd say that you're just another drone in this age of positivism. And you're obviously part of a machine that destroys lives, but lacks the decency to help people surviving the mess that you've created with this Total War of yours.
It's sad to watch the American Dream go to waste, and sometimes I have to wonder if you people actually realize that you've lost something.

And more Bollocks from a sack of prejudices. Look up Germans history of guest workers and tell me thät Özdemir isn't a well integrated political crook of the Green Party.
There were several justifications for these arrangements. Firstly, during the 1950s, Germany experienced a so-called Wirtschaftswunder or "economic miracle" and needed laborers.[7] The labour shortage was made more acute after the building of the Berlin Wall in August 1961, which drastically reduced the large-scale flow of East German workers. Secondly, West Germany justified these programs as a form of developmental aid. It was expected that guest workers would learn useful skills which could help them build their own countries after returning home.
Aydan Özoğuz, commissioner for immigration, refugees and integration, told the Financial Times that only a quarter to a third of the newcomers would enter the labour market over the next five years, and “for many others we will need up to 10”.
The Institute for Employment Research (IAB) found only 45 per cent of Syrian refugees in Germany have a school-leaving certificate and 23 per cent a college degree.
Statistics from the Federal Labour Agency show the employment rate among refugees stands at just 17 per cent.
Germany: Forecasts highlights up to 2025
Between now and 2025
Employment is forecast to fall from its 2014 peak.
Most employment growth will be in business and other services.
Most job opportunities, around 26%, will be for professionals.
More than 27% of the labour force will have high-level qualifications, compared to 26% in 2013.
Positivism? Sure. I trust data and empirical evidence on most things. As much as you would like to think, there isn't a basic Human right of Migration anywhere. Asylum is, immigration isn't and even then, protocols need to be followed.
If you want to help people in dire situations, help them build or rebuild their own nations. Crazy thought, I know. That's the core of the issue. Making the place they want to leave, a place they want to stay or go back to, isn't it?
People that don't speak the language, have minimal skills and lack the same cultural norms are not the best nor ideal candidates for growing your nations population or intergrating into your society. There my's positivism again.
Germany is doing good for its own population without much need in the way of cheap foreign labor.
