DrewStevens 5,249 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I think she should try to elaborate her statements better because this is a terrible way to explain her point. Europe is going through hard times but comparing it to Nazi Germany in any aspect is ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic 49,376 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 ​Of course it's important to talk about. Just not exaggerating that much ​But look where the exaggeration got us though. We're adressing and talking about the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valextra 58 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I think her words are a bit exaggerated and generalized, I got what she meant but the argument it's more complex to be recap like that, and in every state of Europe the situation is different with different motivations and causes.

The Child 18,994 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I'm french living in France and she's totally right. ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkwolf 590 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 ​I think they meant that she's not talking about Europe in general, but about how that specific party or whatevs is able to shape the cultural atmosphere in a negative way.Also Madge: since when were the French ever nice? ​Thank you so much, you prove what she's talking about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vernier 3,786 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Pretty easy to understand what she was saying, and I agree Intolerance is growing and people just seem to want to ignore it/sweep it under the rug like "nah, that doesn't happen here" Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychedelic 1,098 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I completely agree with her... You might think she is overreacting but I guess that's what people said about the ones who saw the Nazi era coming before World War II... and then it happened, so shut your mouths, because I bet Madonna is alot more literate on these subjects than people who are attacking for her comments!

Emvee 7,080 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I mean, I've never been to Europe, but even just looking at what some of the European users post here, I can tell there's a lot of Xenophobia and it seems to be socially acceptable too...Don't really know what the situation is, though, I'm just saying this based on what I've seen online European people say. Yeah, there is racism in the United States, but most people don't flat out express it like some Europeans do... especially regarding muslims. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMP 87 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 All of you who say she doesn't know sh*t are so embarassing.Europe is a hostile place for immigrants and refugees right now.There were tons of demonstrations against refugees and the Islam in Germany and the UK is planning to have their first demonstration against that soon.It shall be called Pegida UK.Thanks to lots and lots of people who antidemonstrated against those dumbf*ckers that wave of xenophobia has declined pretty fast in Germany.But it's so scary that these people had such a huge platform for their ideology.And it showed that xenophobia is everywhere.

If you're comparing US to Europe it's unfair and makes no sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
