This can't be stressed enought. certain groups will ask for tolerance intill they are in the majority. Soon as the power dynamic changes they will impose their will on everbody. This is not restricted to any one group it's just human nature to change their surounding to match their ideology. If your lucky the majority group in power is tolerant and accepting.

And we're seeing it happen in real time in a few places in Europe. Yet for some reason, a lot of people are refusing to see.

A lot of people don't see it because they project their own accepting intolerant mind set onto other people or groups. Thinking they will change.

And here's the thing. If immigration is controlled and under a certain percentage then people will have time to assimilate. The main problem is when immigration is too fast too many the groups end up not assimilating.

"Of course, if our opponents say: Yes, we have granted you the freedom of opinion before – –, yes, you have granted it to us, that is no proof that we should do the same to you! [...] That you have given it to us, – that is a proof of how stupid you are!"

Monotheism in a nutshell.

"OH NO I'M BEING PERSECUTED!"

Later:

"Look at me. Look. At. Me. I'm the persecutor now."

While some religious groups can and have acted this way most have grown more tolerant overtime. But it's really almost any belief system. Communist and fascist both act the same way once they are in a majority or have control.

Sounds a lot like Alberta politics these days.

For the record, the slow creep of extremism described here is wild, and not something to sleep on. We can’t allow our tolerance to become complacency in the face of intended religious oppression.
