Refugees, Terror and Other Troubles with the Neighbors: Against the Double Blackmail by Slavoj Zizek
This book was written in response to the French nightclub terrorist attacks. Many of the refugee populations are fleeing an area where terror is a "normal" activity. They may seek out the benefits of a culture like Norway. However, they can never find it. It is an ideal that doesn't exist in the world. They also likely only want parts of it.
The terrorists and the anti-immigrants have some in common. The end result of the activities is similar. It is our duty to work together to help others rather than isolate. We can try to hide from other problems, but they will still exist until they can be resolved.
