What I find annoying about this sort of analysis is the assumption that non-first-world countries consist entirely of China, India and Muslim countries.

There are examples in the Bible. Other obvious instances are the extinction of various human variants- Andamanese, Hottentots, Indian jungle tribes, Tasmanians, Ainyu, possibly- except in isolated or extreme environments. Actually, Umm Yasmin, it's your average Muslim emigrant rather than your average Indian or Chinese emigrant, except that it isn't your average Muslim emigrant but your average North African emigrant, who is probably muslim and who is likely to have stronger historical ties to European countries than to the USA or Australia and who is probably less well-educated than those who emigrate to Australia or the USA.

On the other hand, the country doesn't attract many Indians or Chinese (unlike the US and Australia).

Why would your average Muslim immigrant be more likely to want to immigrate to Europe than your average Indian or Chinese immigrant? I’m confused.
