Refugees fleeing to Europe from Syria, Iraq and other regional countries are not bad than the Europeans. Islam is not a less religion than our religion – the Christianity. Those who consider themselves believers cannot have hostile feelings towards the representatives of other religions or atheists. Fair complexion is not preferable to dark complexion. Geniuses, noble or simply decent people can be found in the children of all nations, in representatives of all religions, there might also be hooligans, scoundrels and terrorists.
The aforementioned ideas are not the so-called “European values”, such thoughts can be read not only in Christian but also Buddhist, Confucian and Sufism followers’ books. Not thinking in this way, assuming that believing in something means “to fight against infidels” is nonsense that has destroyed many, including very powerful countries. Not the “weakness” or the inability to “open a place under the sun” with elbows ruins people and the countries but the limited mind, which is sometimes called a “dogma” or a “stereotype”.
It is sad when comments appear in our media, whose authors, perhaps subconsciously, generate from the standpoint that they or, so to say, “they in the face of Europeans” have some advantages over the huge number of refugees in Europe. And, of course, I do not agree that the tolerance of the Europeans will destroy this continent and its values.
There are also like-minded people in Europe, people who think that immigrants have come to eat their own bread, will change the demographic situation in their countries, will convert everyone to Muslim and so on. But where is this opinion dominant? The Deputy of the National Assembly, Alexander Arzumanyan, in his interview with me to A1 +, draws attention to the fact that this attitude is noticeable in the former socialist countries.

Indeed, Bolshevism, the “dustpan” mindset left its profound influence on, first and foremost, the people of these countries, but, of course, not only on them. Apparently, these people have also heard from their teachers and professors that there is a doctrine, an idea, a direction, which is righteous and the rest are wrong. It is also very likely that their fathers or grandfathers were used to line up for sausages and were excited for not getting these sausages. This mindset incurs also the expression that Russians use against the aliens – «понаехали» (run into).
Actually, the wealth of the world is inexhaustible and will suffice to everyone. Only the human mind is limited.
