During a session of the World Youth Forum that was convened in Sharm Al-Sheikh, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi was asked about Western countries preventing the entrance of people from undeveloped countries. He answered: "Instead of asking me why the West closes its gates to us, you should ask yourself why the people of Afghanistan don't take better care of their country... [The same is true] in Pakistan, in Egypt, in Syria, in Libya, in Iraq, in Yemen, and in Somalia." He said that people in those countries have been fighting amongst themselves for decades, so it is unreasonable for them to expect to be welcomed by Western countries while keeping their own culture and work ethic.
A world leader with some common sense for once.
If accurate, that is INCREDIBLE and exactly the issue, hard to put better myself or anyone for that matter. The people that are foaming at the mouth calling others racist just are not intelligent enough to realise it SIMPLY is that Western people want to maintain their standards of living. Hardly ANYONE is truly racist, if Afghanistan, Egypt, and the other countries he mentioned were peaceful, developed, wonderful bastions of calm and sophisticated culture, literally no-one would have a big problem with a bit of migration, provided people RESPECT the country they are a guest in!!
It just astounds me that people cannot get this. I spent a good few years living in Germany, and I LOVED it and wish to return, but I did not go there to booze in the street, cause trouble, steal, rob, rape, insist my religion was respected, I went there to be my best, to contribute, to immerse myself in the culture and appreciate what a wonderful country they have built.
That guy is a hero of common sense and reason if those subtitles are accurate.
People like Gary Linker are the typical example of the sheer hypocrisy of these sorts that scream racist all the time. For the millionth time, its about culture, and NOT race, it is about respect, and behaving and making a POSITIVE impact and contribution to your host country. If you are not doing that, quite simply, go home...
