So basically you are saying that you are an assimilationist and definitely no nationalist. You should have said that before.

Also, you can keep them for yourself. When you say "Europe" you are not refering to one ethnic/national group but to many. I don't want them here.

I actually think, ethnic appartenence can be changed (as Religion, Language, Culture and Traditions do not depend on our genes, and racial peculiar traits can disappear in a handful of generations).

Any reason why you didn't mention race?

Remember that there are already historical Turk minorances in the Balkans, including Gagauz (Christian Turks), not to speak of Arabic blood in Spain, Portugal

Have a look at genetic studies before speaking of Arabic blood in Spain.

I should also remind you that the Holy Office (the Inquisition) had to deal with the converse (which is what you propose) as they posed a danger to the stability of the nation. Hundreds of years of spilling blood in countless battles followed by some more hundred of years of Inquisition.

If you are a liberal assimilationist, say so. There is no reason why we shouldn't discuss and argue against such views. Everything is debatable, but under its right name.
