Muslim is the new Jew.Follow

You do realize that Al-Qaeda wants you to make all of those connections, don't you? And that by thinking that all Muslims are evil and targetting them, you're letting Al-Qaeda win? This is exactly what they want. They want to be the face if Islam and make everyone afraid.

Yes, those facts make me sick too. But you know what? The Muslims down your street aren't likely to have participated in any of that.

Female Genital Mutilation is strictly forbidden in Australia, and to show immigrant communities that we're serious about that, guardians and complicit adults who have sent their daughters overseas to have it done have been arrested and jailed and their children's guardianship reassigned. Jews and Christians who come from the Middle East and North Africa ALSO perform FGM on their daughters, and have to be broken of the same idea that an intact daughter is an unmarriagable woman.

Just like waves of Greek, Italian, Eastern European, Chinese and South-East Asian migrants have had to be broken of the idea that their daughters can't leave home on their own, must have strict curfews until they are married, can't have tertiary educations, can't choose whom they marry themselves.

You can bet your **** that most Muslims in a Western countries are pleased as punch that they don't live under Sharia law. Wars have been fought and are being fought overseas between the Muslims who want Sharia, and the Muslims who don't want Sharia.

I'm sorry American troops are being killed overseas. So are Australian and European troops. We all are the ones who've decided we want to police the world, position ourselves in foreign nations as Peak Oil looms, and respond to guerilla attacks on our own territory with large scale classical warfare.

The most egregious blatant Holocaust deniers in Australia have come from Caucasians, and Caucasian historians who want visas to give lecture tours here about how it all didn't happen. If Muslims are going around complaining about the non-existent Holocaust of Jews, homosexuals, Gypsies, and the disabled etc by the **** regime, then they haven't had a noticeable run in the public media here.

The state of Israel was a cluster-f*ck from the start, perpetuated on the Middle East by a guilt-stricken West (Because the majority of people in Western nations used to be prejudiced against Jews). There are too many wrongs that have happened in the Middle East for anyone to truly be allowed to keep score. Revenge upon revenge, bitterness upon bitterness, only keeps the misery perpetuating. The only people living truly free inside there are the people who have let go, and held out their hands to each other.


In short, Caucasian Westerners through the luck of history liberalised and modernised culturally first. Other cultures are modernising in turn, and have valuable gifts to keep and not throw out as they do so. Our modernisation happened unevenly over time, and very recently. We have no room to through stones against an entire other culture, just because some of it, and some of its people, are downright bad/awful/evil.

If you just take Arabia, the world would be grossly poorer without its Islamic architecture, its cooking, clothing, dancing, poetry, music, tapestry, ship, tiling and market design.


Country and Western clothing with it's curlicues of brocade appliqué and spangles, and southern US architecture, with among other things it's decorative metalwork and grills, descends directly from Spanish Colonial design of the 17th and 18th centuries, which descends from the designs of the Moorish colonisers of Spain from the 700s to the 1400s, which descends from the designs brought in from the Arab Islamic conquest of Northern Africa from 670 AD.

I hate this state sometimes.

I personally hate what I think is the "real" reason that Muslim women wear burkas, especailly in fundamentalist or Sharia nations. I think that even when it's totally the woman's free choice, in reality it will always marginalise her socially and in the workplace, because other people will not connect so closely to someone who is physically present, but largely faceless. But the presumption that a burka is a bomb risk any more than an anorak or over-coat, or a crime risk any more than a balaclava or motorcycle helmet, is idiotic and prejudiced.

And people should not be forced out of their burkas by the state. When burka wearing women need face identification, then they can yeild their faces for those necessary situations.

Yep. Damn those Mormon terrorists.

Aripya,



It does matter when they hijack planes and murder thousands of civilians.

Technically not a Muslim country, the government being completely secular, but correct in that 99% of the population is Muslim!


The numbers do matter for your comparison. Muslims wield supreme power in other countries; powers that Jews never had. That was my rebuttal. Again, the sentiment for both of us is the same; but your comparison sucks.*

Note: Glenn Beck is a Mormon. So is Mitt Romney, who passed universal healthcare for Massachusetts as governor. Tin foil hat that!

*Edit: It seems you agreed a few posts down that the numbers do matter, so I guess this part of my post is moot.

I know, but since I was talking to Varrus, I thought I could afford some definitional leeway.

Edited to add: If I was being really pedantic, I would point that despite the state being secular, the party in power is openly, if moderately, Islamist. And it still recognises Israel. But since I'm not, I won't.

Once again, this is what the terrorists want. You're doing exactly what they want you to do. You're becoming a puppet of the terrorists.

Did you know that the Bible specifically tells Christians what to do, too? Like bashing the heads of children against the rocks? Are you so brainwashed by Al-Qaeda? You might as well strap a bomb to your chest. You're no different than they are.

I know all I want to know about Canadians, too. You seal-killing, maple leaf-eating, horse-riding lumberjack.

To say he is ignorant would be horribly wrong, ignorance is the lack of knowledge. That man is just plain stupid. Although I did get a good chuckle out of these two paragraphs. Awesome find there Redphoenixxx. :D
