Islam. The Europeans are drawing a line in the sand. Long overdue.

Pro Palestinian protests only shifted people towards right wing. West stands with Israel, not with terorists, we proved it many times, the more you protest for Gaza the more we support Israel, and therefore - far right

Europe is a Christian civilization and must remain that way. I don't go to Saudi Arabia and tell them to change their way of life. Immigrants must respect the norms of European society

You can't allow people who are used to such a low standard of living to bring down the standard of living in Europe. Europeans have migrated for centuries, so I hope that this isn't causing this shift. There are many refugees who are not used to living in societies that are organized. They are not used to rules and regulations. They tend not to assimilate, which creates lots of problems.

The key word here is 'nationalistic.' Nationalism is often associated with right-wing political movements, as it has historically been utilized by right-wing parties and groups. However, there is also left-wing nationalism, which is known as socialist or anticolonial nationalism.
