I remeber the discussion I had with a Russian friend who came here some 15 years ago. I told her "you're not Russian, you're more German than most Germans are." After half an hour telling her all the German traits and behaviours she has, she said "No, I still have a Russian soul and heart" - "What about your daughter?" (She was born here) - "Oh, she's German!"

That's a common immigrant story over here too, at least it used to be.

To correct that: The Amok nutjob in Munich was a right-wing terrorist, being proud of having the same birthday as Hitler and worshipping this nutjob Breivik, and the AfD

So it is more convenient to say that all immigrants are terrorists, not only the muslims?

Which is exactly what it says in the link I posted. Duh...

The fascinating thing, is how long and incoherent arguments he has with his self constructed straw men.

This debating technique is also very popular with the Swedish left. Maybe it's something they teach in left wing academies?

Nah, regardless of topic or political position, people who have no valid arguments use to them so they can at least talk along instead of just staying silent.

Right! You posted a link to prove you wrong. And the linked article itself wants to signify Hitchens quote to be about truthfulness - but Hitchens was writing about logic.

Islam = Extremist/terrorism religion
Followers of Islam = Muslims

Therefore

Muslims = Terrorists

Not every extremist is a terrorist. But I'm not surprised here...

So is Islam a religion of terror or not?

Are Muslims people who practice the religion of Islam or not?

Are all Muslims terrorists or not?

If you would give me one Euro for every time a Muslim resident in a Muslim country told me to my face how proud I must be to come from the country of Adolf Hitler and how well we did with what we did to the Jews and we should be proud to have killed so many Jews, you would end in a serious state of finances.

Nazism and Islam fit each other nicely. Both are totalitarian. Both are racist. Both are supremacist. Both are especially strictly anti-semitic. Already Muhammad committed what by todays standards and legal definitions would be called genocide of Jews, mass murderings that even for the numerically limited standards of his time were rather outrageous. If you do not believe that then try to find out why archaeological excavations on the market place in Mediana are prohibited by death penalty until today. I explained it often enough.

I remember Reece to write about “Refugees are Muslims and Muslims only tolerate Muslims, they'll kill anyone else given the chance!”

Proper pronounciation advised:

If only there were no evil Muslims - those terrorists.

is not

If only there were no evil Muslims - those terrorists.

You should be aware of my way too tolerant attitude towards Muslims.
But to confuse you, I suddenly switch over to the opposite.

All real Muslims are extremists - since they follow an extremist ideology, yes.
However, if I really have to explain to you why an extremist isn't automatically a terrorist, I'm going to worry.

Also, Oberon, didn't you want to stay out? I mean, is this Groundhog Day by now or what?
By the way, I'm still waiting for answers along with some proof for some questions I asked months ago.
You know, the ones you had no answer for so you simply decided to bail out and just jump back in when it feels convenient, yet never provided anything profound.

So, you judge Muslims on whether or not they're real Muslims based upon how strictly they follow their ideology? Do you apply the same rule to Christians?

Oh, and I did bail out, I just wanted to confirm a few things for the thread, for other people to comment on, put it on the record and all that.

Truth be told, I really can't help but comment from time to time, I guess I could get Jim to delete my account, that would probably be the only way I could stop this.

Oh, and the questions...yeah, you can have that victory if you like.
