IMMIGRATION thread

[rajpoot]

Unmatched how? Does it kill more people per day than cancer?
As for the comparison to other communities, did you adjust for socioneconomic factors?
It is true that at the moment the muslims seem to spawn lots of terrorism, but as Fragony says, nothing we can do.

Actually according to stats from 2002 the thing that kills most people is one or the other form of cardiovascular disease (I would've put my money on road accidents but hey...)
But that would only be a reasonable comparison the day a cardiovascular disease totes an AK47 and a suicide vest and kills hundreds of people according to a well planned attack.

As for socioeconomic factors, like I said the 'whys' are a completely different discussion. I'm sure there are many many reasons which would indirectly point towards how these people were wronged and mishandled in some way or another by someone or maybe were a result of unavoidable circumstances. But none of that excuses the current state of affairs.
And I agree, nothing can probably be done about it at this point of time. But nonetheless acknowledging that there is a problem is necessary.

I enjoy being the lone voice against the current surge of ignorance and bubbling xenophobia.

If you're talking about this thread in particular I'd say you're being a little harsh....is it xenophobic to discuss a problem supported by facts?
I've always been for tolerance and I'd be the first person to speak up if someone paints the whole religion with a single brush, but you cannot deny facts point to something being amiss.
