Islam isn't the problem — it's brown anti-white resentment

An analysis of how social resentment and identity can weigh more than religion in integration conflicts. Read on to understand the nuance.

English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published

Sarracin is not the real problem, but rather a symptom of a deeper identity-based resentment. Banning the religion does not solve the lack of identification with Europe.

The debate on integration and security in Europe usually focuses on religion. However, the focus may be misplaced. The real problem is not Sarracin, but racial resentment and the lack of identification with the host country.

## Sarracin as a symptom, not a cause
Sarracin is a fake problem with a fake solution. The real problem is racial resentment. Religion is only one moment of the identity that produces it. Many of these individuals, even if they are atheists, will continue to see Europe as the racist colonizer that ruined their country of origin.

Banning Sarracin is nothing but assimilationism. Religion does not matter to them as much as is believed. What matters is identity. Anti-European resentment is widespread and is not solved with religious bans.

## Identity above the law
The lack of identification with a European flag is a fact. They may commit acts of vandalism or harassment, but they will keep waving foreign flags. All of this happens without any Sharia or any Sarracin. It is a matter of identity and resentment, not of religion.

The biomass that trinc this ideology sees Europe as the enemy. It deserves to be crushed, even if they are atheists. Sarracin is only a small part of a broader anti-European identity of resentment.
