(1) I don't know what "globalization" really means.
Then maybe you should spend a bit of time studying the concept.
I would suggest starting with "The Lexus and the Olive Tree" by Tom Friedman.
The lazzez-faire approach you seem to be advocating implicitly relies upon globalization. That by doing nothing, the Arab masses will eventually force their corrupt regimes to moderate and become accountable to assimilating into the global social and politico-economic mainstream.
But how can anyone force a corrupt and repressive government, or brutal social minority to be accountable when they retain the ability to violently suppress all dissent? They can't..
And what interest does such a regime have in opening up itself to global forces and influences? None...
So what do people who want a better life do? They emigrate to somewhere they can achieve these goals.
And who has to accept them emigrating masses? Every other nation where they can find such opportunities (US and Europe).
And what happens when they get there? Who knows.. But we know that some of them chose to learn how to fly jetliners, which they then hi-jacked and flew into heavily populated buildings in the heart of our two major cities.
Either they obtain social mobility in their homelands, or they find it in other countries.
These are more of your prejudices. You have zero evidence of this. People move to the US from all over the world. A lot of the Arabs who moved to Europe or America were not educated.
Hello!! Have you been COMPREHENDING what the facts are pointing to? There is 30% unemployment in Saudi Arabia RIGHT NOW (US embassy states opines between 14-20%). And this is a trend that's JUST BEGINNING since 40% of the Saudi population was born AFTER 1991.
arabicnews.com
Europe has 15 million muslims, nearly equivalent to the entire population of Saudi Arabia or Iraq.
globalpolicy.org
And while I share NO SYMPATHY for the white supremist values of the following link, they do a pretty good job of presenting the facts regarding immigration statistics. I just couldn't find another link that concisely present such data:
stormfront.org
If current population trends continue, Caucasians, who once made up 30% of world population in 1900, will diminish to 3% by 2100.
So while you choose to ignore these facts, others cannot afford to do so. They are forced to formulate policies which integrate these realities.
And those who seek to destroy, or replace, western culture, understand these demographics as well as we do..
But personally, I'm tired of trying to pound these realities into your head.
