Google Donates €1 Million To Help Refugees In Need

Mark Wilson writes: The on-going refugee crisis in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East has grabbed hearts and headlines around the world. As European governments argue over who should take in the thousands of desperate people, European citizens have criticized the speed and scale of the help offered, whilst simultaneously donating money, food, and equipment to help those in desperate need. Now Google has stepped in, offering €1 million ($1.1 million) to the organizations providing help to refugees. In addition to this, Google.org (the branch of the company 'using innovation to tackle some of the world's biggest challenges') is setting up a page to make it easier for people to make donations, and says that it will match any money donated by Google users.

    I'm non-Muslim and have friends who are Muslim. This may come as a shock, but they are not all the same, any more than all conservative Christians are ignorant xenophobes. They're not all ignorant xenophobes, right?

    Conservative Christian ignorant xenophobes are quite annoying, like the Westboro Baptist Church . . . but they are not killing anybody, unlike the Muslim extremists. Go to an airport, and try to get on a flight. You'll get your balls frisked. This is not because of the Ohio Presbyterian Grandmothers Association Luncheon . . . it's because of Muslims.

    Only Muslims themselves can solve this problem with extremist terrorists. Ask your Muslim friends to speak out in their Mosque against terrorism . . . oh, they won't . . . I get it. That is the root of the problem. Mainstream Muslims condone terrorism. Once they reject it, it will be gone. When non-Muslims condemn terrorism, Muslims don't listen.

    I was interested to see John Cleese (of fawlty Towers fame) recognize that England just isn't England anymore.

    I never would post about anything as controversial as racism before, because like so many here, I'm scared, even as posting as AC. However, the threat to Europe generally is an even bigger concern, so to hell with it. I feel sorry for the many of the immigrants who feel they need to leave their country, but whites are constantly being driven out of their homeland, and being swamped with Africans, whilst the reverse isn't happening. That's not racism, that's white genocide.
