We try to be liberal, caring, and help people to have shelter from oppressive regimes. Some of them take advantage; lie even. \n\n"The road to destruction is paved with good intentions". \n\nLook at our welfare system - supposed to be a safety net, whereby the weakest and most desperate members of society are helped back on their feet. Do you think the people who founded our welfare system would ever have envisaged the abuse of the benefits system which we see today? \n\nA similar story with the NHS. My grandparents, in the 1930s, couldn't afford a doctor's visit or medicine when their child was seriously ill. The NHS was set up to address that - now people can have plastic surgery etc., paid for by the taxpayer; the NHS scope has got too big, and spending has spiralled out of control.\n\nThe thing is that you can't trust people to be honest and incorruptible. Some will take advantage, and mess it up for everyone else.

I understand your question, but, unfortunately the answer isn't an easy one.  Apparently you disagree with the type cast or stereotype.  But, look around the world.  That is the choice that their culture has made.  SInce the early seventies I have spent several months in the middle east nations for a variety of reasons.  And yes, I have met some very wonderful people.  However, throughout that part of the world there is a constant undercurrent of hatred for the west... the devil... the evil of democratic western countries and that list is topped by the U.S.  Which leaves us in a precarious position as a society.  We don't understand why they hate us, but they do.  So it is natural as culture to hate back.  So goes the viscious cycle.

Because we're a superpower and we do what we want rather than what the world wants us to do.  And we don't let other countries push us around.  Besides, we're a little more conservative than most of Western Europe.  Oh by the way, you forgot to mention we're responsible for the Crusades.

Because we have countries that do not respect laws and think that their way of life enables them to kill anyone in the name of religion.  This is a way to restrict their travel.

Good question my friend. As with the other answerer's, it's all about a free ride ! They pass through other country's to reap our benefits system and live the life of Riley ! If they return home they'll be persecuted. RUBBISH ! They wont fight for us but there again we haven't fought for ourselves, we've been invaded by asylum seekers and immigrant workers and we've all stood by and done nothing !

No I don't think that that should be done to ANY person from any country. Why can't some people understand THAT THEY ONLY WANT A BETTER LIFE? Why is this so hard to understand? Did they sent the white back to Europe? No. I wonder what did the native Americans wanted to do.....

I think you mean in the post World War II. The Israelis didn't go back to palestine, they just went there. You see, what happened was that thousands of years ago Jews lived there (that weren't even related to the same Israelis we're talking about). Therefore, because the whole world felt sorry for the Jews because of the Holocaust they forced the Palestinians to pay for what the Europeans have done (disgracing against the Jews). So to answer your question, they went to Palestine because the Europeans didn't want to deal with them so they forced the Palestinians to accept them. The palestinians were pretty pissed off (as they should have been) but they couldn't do anything about it because the British and everyone else didn't let them.

I'll never understand why someone who risks his/her life to leave a country while leaving everything (sometimes including family) behind would actually have some allegiance left to that country, where they had it so bad.\n\nThat is beyond belief.

I'm assuming that those staying in hotels in Germany for the world cup would on the whole be visitors to that country. I believe that as visitors choosing to visit another country we have an obligation to respect their laws and beliefs. We have no right to ask or expect another country to make changes for us because of our own beliefs. If we don't approve we have the choice not to go there. Bearing in mind there is no reference in your Q that infers that Muslims have asked for these changes. It may very well simply be a gesture of International etiquette so to avoid anything that may come about. Lets face it they are there to watch the best soccer the world and players have to offer, so lets just sit back and enjoy it and not turn a wonderful sporting event into a religious event. There is enough of that happening in the world already, don't you think?

Because they have procedures they follow. Just think how many people are trying to come here. \nMy husband got his visa to come here from Egypt in about 2 months, but I know some people living here with kids that are waiting for years.

If you don't mind my asking -- what is the reason for this question.  We do empathize with the plight of developing countries, however it's not the responsibility of the west to take care of everyone that asks for help.  When westerners give aid to some countries (not all), graft and corruption steals this aid and the aid does not get to those that need it.  This is a waste of our money, something that we dont feel we want to do.\n\nWe are sympathetic to the needs of those that are less fortunate, but when we DO but into the business of others we tend to get slammed by the international media.

They were meant to trade, transport goods, and bring people over from the other places of the world.

Because they like to use America for their own interest as they have been. It makes me wonder too.

Because of the politics. From my understanding, Haiti was/is war torn. People who want to travel who are not from there do not want to go to a country that has a lot of fightings and political warfare. not only that but D.R. has a lot of resorts predominately for tourists and great rates for them as well. I also heard that the D.R. accommodates the Carribean Cruise lines as well. my friend came back from one; they went to Haiti even though they thought they were going to go to the D.R. Not happy at all. People want to go where they have a feeling they are not going to be in the crossfire (and, if you have watch the world news, Haiti, back then, was not a place even for the Haitian people to be safe.) To my knowledge, the D.R. does not have a problem with that.

i can't give you the answer to the first part because i forgot...lol...but to the second..Pilgrims went to the Americas so they could have the freedom to practice their religion..they weren't allowed in their country..(i think it was forbidden..not sure)

Why don't you go back to your country?

Agree with you 100%.  To send them back is like playing with a boomer rang.  But then there are those that want to kill, nuke and other anti-human things you can do to a people of another nation.  I guess thats the way they take care of their own problems at home. you do have a good point.
