What I said doesn't mean I believe that is the sole factor. I'm not that stupid, but I'm willing to bet that that is the reason for maybe 60% or more of radicals. I'm sure as heck not saying to set them up in socialist heaven. It wouldn't do any good anyway. This is what I believe and I'm not trying to change anyones mind. I can't say what I believe the fix would be because then this thread would be locked. I believe in fighting fire with fire. |

You might as well give up Scandium......because it seems apparent now that unless you actually go to these Arab countries and see for yourself how they practice their Islamic teachings, you will not understand Islam until you're on the receiving end of a 3 round burst.
I can vouch for Avon Lady as she lives in Israel (haven't met her in person though), and I have been to Israel myself. I even lived there for 3 months and I can absolutely agree with what evidences she ahs posted thus far. I (used to) own an english copy of the Q'uran printed in 1993, and after reading about 30 Surahs I can absolutely tell you that this is a violent, backwards charging religion that is intent on absolute domination. Not to mention that witnessing the aftermath of a bus bombing on Ben Yehuda street in Jerusalem can sure explain a thing or two about the illegitimacy of the PA, and Islam as a whole. |

Agreed. I'm already getting tired of the "discussion" in these threads that seem to serve little more for some then an opportunity to incite hatred and intolerance. Having myself already been attacked with everything from "being educated by pedophile priests" to a terrorist sympathizer, I'm done with participating in these threads.
Since there is absolutely no moderation going on in these threads, no matter what is said or how outrageous, they are beginning to appear more and more as an asylumn with the lunatics in charge, and they can have at it. ![]() |

Alright, I think I'll do a slightly more moderate form of my pledge not to participate in political discussion (that I made a couple of years ago and failed) -
I will boycott all threads that even hint at going into this issue, divide people broadly along any religious lines, or quote Koran/Jihadwatch/whathaveyou. It's the only way I can see of not propagating this, since I obviously don't possess any great and supernatural powers of logical persuasion to stop them. ![]() |

Gee Caspo, maybe you should watch this flash viceo: http://www.cs.biu.ac.il/~davoudo/israel.html and this one: http://www.conceptwizard.com/conen/conflict_2.html to see who is actually occupying who.
And if you can't seem to understand how violent Islam is after having lived in Saudi Arabia (Friday beheadings anyone?) then how will you understand anyone else? Another flash video: http://www.conceptwizard.com/terror/a1.html and another: http://www.conceptwizard.com/imagine/imagine_n.html And yes, I'd rather paint all Moslems with the same brush because I'm tired of tying to filter out the individuals. Moslems = Islam. And Islam is bent on dominating EVERYTHING. Including me. So if they want to join the 21st century I want them to do it themselves and do so peacefully. Otherwise they can keep playing "Saddam, Saddam" 'till kingdom come. And if one of them so much as screams to the media about their "oh so horrible occupation under Israel" WHY do they come to Israel for jobs i it's so horrible? WHY is Israel the ONLY nation in the Middle East that doesn't have problems with aqcuiring enough food for their civilians? If Islam is so peaceful, then why in the world does practically every person you can ask on the planet, know what the word "Jihad" means? And yes your input is worth hearing but it oesn't mean I have to agree to it. And just an FYI the bus bombing aftermath I saw was #10 on the terror list (if that was the one near Ben Yahuda Street). And for good measure: http://www.conceptwizard.com/pipeline_of_hatred.html AND... http://www.conceptwizard.com/trial/trial.html Last edited by Yahoshua; 06-16-06 at 01:59 AM. |

Coming back to Europe's future, I suppose in most of european countries there is a thing called law. If some morons break it, they should, theoretically, go to jail, independently from their religion/skin color/sex. Also, in Europe there is freedom of religion, it's been a constitutional right for quite some time now, in quite a few countries. The partial or total abrogation of such right, in my view, is not an answer to any problem. Just like I don't think it's an answer to get a gun and ammo. Gun and ammo to do what? Start an ethnical/religious cleansing? How charming! I bet that one must be quite an entertaining show!

We Jews have never given up our claim to Israel. As Menachem Begin reminded Israel's own Parliament: "We were granted our right to exist by the God of our fathers at the glimmer of the dawn of human civilization four thousand years ago. Hence, the Jewish people have an historic, eternal and inalienable right to exist in this land, Eretz Yisrael, the land of our forefathers. We need nobody's recognition in asserting this inalienable right. And for this inalienable right, which has been sanctified in Jewish blood from generation to generation, we have paid a price unexampled in the annals of nations." You may lump it, if you wish.

Since it was asked in two parrallel threads why these threads are there and why one should want to be so "intolerant" and criticise Islam and prefer ignorrance over "multi-culti", I suggest the following as an answer. By content it could have been from me, I agree with it very much.
I have massively criticised Bush and Neocons and the gap between American ideals and reality of American policy in earlier years. I was heavily attacked for that, but no one ever threatened to hurt or to kill me. I have criticised Christian sects and churches repeatedly and substantially, but never someone gave me reason to think he might visit me with a knife between his teeth. It is no hobby for me, but in this forum we do speak abiut these things as well, and when in my real life I get asked, or someone tells nonsnes on these things in my presence, I do not let it go by untreated. It is important, it is about what I call my home in a wider understanding, and the future of our culture. You can expect that in my mothertongue I am more flexible and competent to express my thoughts. And more clearly. As I have indicated earlier this year, in January I received the first paper/mail-letter ever where I was cursed for my "lies" and "attacks" and "distortions" of Muhammad and Islam, and was warned to let it be else my life may be shorter than I expect. Obviously it has come from a Muslim not from this board, since none here knows my adress, but some Muslim who happened to hear me and knows me from my real life. In February, I received the second of such a letter. I feel honoured. Usually you read in the newspaper about such things happening. Or is intimidating more regular today, even intimidation by our own governments? The editor of the conservative Brussel Journal, with whom I agree sometimes, sometimes not, is threatend with prosecution for the second time within weeks. First he was accused of racism and inhuman intolerance when criticising the pro-Islam policy of the EU, now they try to silence him with accusing him of violating his responsebility to edcuate his youngest children, because he is practicing home-teaching, which is allowed in Belgium, although rarely practiced. His two or three older children currently have made it as far as up to university. Obviously he cannot have tought them too bad. State controllers have tested them, and found them to be fully educated. I am not afraid of this mail I received, it just justifies my opinion on Islam, and has risen my alert status a bit, and made me even angrier of the stupidity of people embracing Islam and mixing up tolerance with submission, multi-culti with Islam, racism with civilizational self-defense. That I get called a fascist some weeks ago, an intolerant and bigot, a phobic and whatever it is, I am used to. I got called by the same names whan I attacked the Iraq war in 2003. And back then the general atmosphere here was much more aggressive, and much hotter. And just for the record, the old members do already know this, but there are some newcomers that have not stayed long enough to have red aboiut me in the past: I know a little bit about Islam by own experience. I lived and worked half a year in Iran, half a year in central and east Anatolia, and for another couple of months I have travelled several other Muslim countries. I red more than just three or four books about Islam, my shelf is nicely covered with stuff about it'S history, sociology, policy, and aboiut Koran, Hadith and the biography of Muhammad, the historically true figure I mean. If you think I just snap up some headlines and mirror them, and express some frustration about the EU, you are wrong. I attack Islam not becaue I do not know it. I attack it just exactly because I have learned about it. Quote:

I'm not disputing the fact that you've never given up your claim on Israel, nor I'm disputing the right of anybody to exist. But, although the arabs who were previously living over there have never been a nation, I don't think that displacing them (in part or in toto) and occupying the land that, for any reason, they thought it was theirs, has had a good effect on their mood.
Needless to say, whatever claim they may have, it doesn't justify the use of terrorism on their part. On the other hand, if kids start throwing rocks and you blast them with tank fire, it's not exactly polite. But back to Europe. European countries have been subject to a flow of immigration (legal and illegal) from other european countries and from non european countries . The main reason for that, I suppose, it's economical. People trying to move to places where they may enjoy better life style, earn more money, and so on. Since in Europe we do have freedom of religion, freedom of association and so on, it's normal that the immigrants (part of which eventually become citizens of their host countries) are allowed to pray whatever God they may like. it's normal as well that they bring part of their culture in the host countries. If this is not in contrast with the laws of the host country, I don't have a problem with that. And I don't think the fact that in Saudi Arabia christians are not allowed to pray their God is an excuse to do the same in Europe. As for the demise of my society...well...in the middle ages parts of Europe were invaded by muslims (and by anybody else as well), in some parts there was also a somewhat pacific co-existance of christians and muslims (like in south Italy during the reign of the Emperor Frederic the second), in other parts there was no co-existance. Still, most of the countries in Europe survived, evolved and ... eventually here we are today.

They were displaced in 1948, when the Arabs declared war and attacked the Jewish State. They were then kept displaced by the Arabs themselves, who used them as a tool of misery against Israel for 20 years and no one in the world batted an eyelid about them. Quote:
In a sane world, the lesson would be crime does not pay. Not so with the Arabs against the Jews. In any case, it was the Arabs who refused to negotiate and "recognize" Israel for another decade. Reminder: the PLO, with its charter to destroy Israel, was founded in 1964 - 3 years before any Israeli had a foothold in Judea, Samaria or Gaza. You reap what you sow. Quote:
