Actually, only a few came here because of that.

That's an old American myth.

Most of the early settlements were purely economic colonies run as  
standard business arrangements.

People just tend to focus on the pilgrims for some odd reason.

Now if you want to talk about other religious reasons, yes, a lot did  
come here to avoid the English theocracy and European religions  
issues, but those were not the pilgrims, that was a benefit for nearly  
everyone.

They learned an old English tactic: If you can't win on the  
battlefield, infiltrate and breed them out.

I think it might tear Europe and the UK apart.  At the least, it's  
already causing a lot of problems and it will only get worse.  I think  
you have to be a fool to not see at least some of them doing it  
deliberately.

Didn't Denmark recently put a halt on it and the queen there spoke out  
and said the muslim invasion had to stop or something like that?
