    So, like the French?”? Who, without a Sofitel incident would have elected a Jewish President?

    “Bin Laden was an engineer and Sayyid Qotb worked as a teacher. Hassan al-Banna was a doctor.” True. The French Muslim Terrorists were all in university (Sciences). Apparently education doesn’t prevent stupidity.

    For what it's worth, the concept of th arab du coin (Arab on the corner) has become part of daily life in many big cities in France.” Very useful little shops indeed. When I left France (loooong time ago) they were in the process to be overtaken by the Vietnamese.

    Just because you can't see it doesn't mean there's nothing to see. Or can you actually see it and choose to ignore it, you can never know. Fact, lefties ignore what doesn't suit them, that, or they simply can't see facts anymore. Too far gone.

    Fact, 2/3 of the muslims in Europe reject secular law.

    41% of people in USA think it's more important to prepare for doomsday than for retirement.

    Now now, that isn't necessarily a bad idea, if you live in the US.

    No, the fact is that 2/3 think that Islamic law is more important to them than secular law. That does not mean that they reject or will refuse to submit to secular law, as you seem to suggest.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    You could see it like that, granted. Rejection is too strong a term you are right about that. But even when toning it down a little it is still worrying.

    This might seem like an odd necro, but I just watched this video from Bill Maher's show about liberals failing to criticize Islam and my god did it remind me of what Fragony said here. 10 minutes of Ben Affleck seemingly sticking his head in the sand and ignoring what everyone else was saying, proceeding to call everyone racist.

    The key point is that people were criticizing Islam, not the perverted interpretation of it by various fundamentalist and jihadists.

    At its core, Islam is no more violent or conservative than Christianity. Also, people who criticize Islam fail to take into account plethora of other factors and blame the religion itself for everything that's happening. Homosexuals aren't treated much better in many, predominantly Christian, African countries.

    Afleck said nothing much wrong really.

    As I said in another thread, the problem is not Islam, but the Muslims themselves.

    Reactionary cultural baggage - get rid of that, and "peaceful Islam" is a corollary.

    I would turn that around. All my muslim friends only care about what's for dinner, and are in a pretty bad mood during ramadan. Their parents go to the mosque but that's about it. Those that subject to islam though, whole different thing. Islam is vile, muslims not.

    Fun fact, had a chat with an Iraqi guy who wanted to join the then ISIS, we had casually talked before. We were sitting at my house outside having a street-barbecue and he asked if he could join us. sure grab a chair. Got him as far as drinking a wine, he didn't eat the porkchops though. But it's still my personal victory on IS. Was quite an nteresting conversation.

    I only watched the first 2-3 mintues of the video before I got bored.

    But, in the part that I did watch, nobody discussed the reasons for the state of islamic countries today. Maher observed that the majority of muslims hold opinions that we would consider intolerant and bigoted. Affleck denies there is any such problem.

    I have long thought that the greatest problems with Islam arise not from Islam per se, but from Pre-Islamic Arabian Warlordism.

    A Pakistani guy beat me in fantasy football this week

    Does that count as assimilation?
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Decent actor. Unfortunately, in our media culture, this gives him entrée to comment on world politics and the like.

    I regularly sit next to a guy called Muhammad (great guy) and he said that there were some monsters in this world, when he commented about IS and Ian Hemming beheading which was just on the news.

    I don't see the problem.
