<i>&gt;And a very large number of people in my country would happily throw back those fleeing the carnage to become victims of that 40%</i><p>That statement really doesn&#x27;t make much sense at all. People are fleeing a war, among them people from the 40% and the 60% group alike. And no one in Europe is advocating throwing anyone back into a war zone. Many want the refugees stay somewhere in the region instead of letting them come to Europe by the millions.<p>It&#x27;s not my opinion, but please don&#x27;t compare that opinion with people who advocate that homosexuals, adulterers and apostates should be put to death. There is no 40% group of the population in Europe that holds views that are anywhere near as disgusting as that. Your relativism goes too far.<p>[Edit] And just to make it clear, I do not believe that it is really 40% who really hold those opinions. It&#x27;s probably less. I hope.
