    Just to make you feel better, an overwhelming majority of the Dutch muslims (74%) thinks dutch muslims who pack up to fight are heroes. Can be be nuanced I suppose, as the questions asked are more about fighting against Assad rather than fighting for IS. But they can't have missed what IS actually does. Smileys are flying all over the internet about the beheaded journalist.

    Sometimes you just have to question if islam is really an enrichment to our culture as lefties will furiously scream if you say it wasn't the greatest idea in the world and surroundings to import islam.

    For now it's still not too late to crush it in Europe, although France seems to be rapidly approaching the point of no return.

    I know that not all of the Muslims are dangerous to society. But from what I can tell from the news, I believe that there are a significant number in Western Europe who could cause problems even when being in the minority.
    Wooooo!!!

    Well, you seem to have utterly missed what they do. They're not just one of the smallest rebel groups; they spend most of their time fighting against other Syrian rebel groups.

    Supporting Syrian rebels =/= supporting ISIS

    That is not to say that a worrying percentage of ISIS is European-born, the point is that you can't translate support for the syrian groups into any kind of support for ISIS.

    That's what I said no, that it can be nuanced.

    You haven't even read it.

    If you want to deny the reality of how muslims who live in peace here actually think, go ahead. Doesn't make these 74% terrorists mind you.

    I work with what you give me. You said 74% of the dutch muslim population supported Syrian rebels.

    This in no way equates to any type of support for ISIL.


    It's like making a poll on attitudes towards the USSR and claiming it shows support for Australia.

    But that's exactly what I pointed out myself

    Edit: my words; Just to make you feel better, an overwhelming majority of the Dutch muslims (74%) thinks dutch muslims who pack up to fight are heroes. Can be be nuanced I suppose, as the questions asked are more about fighting against Assad rather than fighting for IS. But they can't have missed what IS actually does.
