4. Misogynistic attitudes and actions are often very culturally prevalent
Mon Jan 11, 2016, 07:49 PM
Jan 2016

in many areas of Central/South American, Asia, and Europe, as well as elsewhere besides the Middle East. In fact, outside of certain western, developed countries, it's the norm and not the exception.

Should be limit entry to migrants/refugees only from northwestern Europe, Canada, and Australia?

The issues are not nearly so simple, and I certainly don't have all the answers. I do know that I don't envy Merkel and the other more liberal European leaders who very openly welcomed the migrants and now face the democratic, and very legitimate, discontent of their voters.
