#1 In an effort to promote the Catalan language, Catalonian pro-independence parties have traditionally favored immigration from non-Spanish-speaking countries, especially from Arabic-speaking Muslim countries, in the belief that these people would speak Catalan rather than Spanish.
How's that working out for you?

#2 "Muslims should vote for pro-independence parties, as they need our votes. But what they do not know is that, when they allow us to vote, we will all vote for Islamic parties because we do not believe in left and right. This will make us win local councils and as we begin to accumulate power in the Catalan autonomous region, Islam will begin to be implemented," Houzi said.

There's a lesson to be learned in this. We may already be too late.

#3 I think it was Jonah Golberg who said you could tell a lot about a culture about how they relate to dogs.

#5 Catalonia has long been a bastion of Spanish leftism, mostly in rejection of Madrid. But as with leftists in other parts of Europe who extended open greetings to Muslims, they are now seeing the results of those policies.

#6 Europe should-have (and still should) be arranging for guest workers from Latin America where they have cultural connections and need work.

#7 Spain has been getting guest workers from Latin
America, rjschwarz. Then they tried to bribe them with q free trip home when the economy turned south. Some took the ride, others stayed and went in the dole,

#8 Better Latin Americans than Muslims seeking reconquesta. Allowing them on the Dole is daft.

#9 Spot:

That's inaccurate. In fact, immigration was either foisted on the Catalans by Madrid or strongly encouraged by the central government precisely

In fact, the Catalans DON'T WANT the Moslems in particular precisely because they don't integrate and cause all sorts of problems. And that's the dilemma: immigration isn't part of the Generalitat's powers but an exclusive one by teh Madrid government.

Riiight, the Islamists think they'll be able to implement shar'ia in Catalunya just when the economy is disintergrating and the societial tensions are at an all time high. More like the Moslems had better behave.

#10 The problem for the Spanish with getting the trained and skilled people from Latin America is that it is just as easy and convenient to go to Miami as it is to go to Spain. And Florida is more pro-business, and until Zero took office, so was the US government compared to the Spanish Socialists.

#11 Mark Steyn has written about how politics in Europe would change as the Islamic population reachs 10% and more. This stuff is right down that alley, I wonder if he has heard of this yet?
