It's a sin to scientifically prove a miracle. Wink
Where there is no explanation are mysteries necessary and shattering.

I think I have strayed onto the Korea Forum by mistake. Kooks everywhere, and they are rude too.

Perhaps special ID badges for Muslims is not going to solve the issue of Islamic terrorism. Instead how about cordoning off entire Muslim neighborhoods with citizens and police and then performing domicile visits to check for terrorist devices and other illegal things that extremist Muslims shouldn't have. That might be difficult to do in the USA since Muslims are more integrated there. However for Europe that might produce good results. It produced wonderful results during the French Revolution. All people want is to get rid of those that dislike their host countries solely on account of their host countries not being Muslim or Muslim like enough. After all the Muslims who live in the countries where the Muslim immigrants come from feel entitled to do the same thing i.e. kick individuals out over religious and cultural differences.

This is a good example of "dogs whistle" message from a poster who does not learn from history.

Some historical facts for you to reflect on:

1. The relation of France with Islam date back to 738 CE during the battle of Poitiers.

2. Narbone was the capital of Muslim province for 40 years (719 - 759).

3. During the occupation of Algiers in 1830, Algerian Muslims were made French subjects against their will. And since that time, the French looked to the Muslim population as backward people to be civilized.

4. During and after both WWI and WWII, France needed manpower from the Muslim population in North Africa to fight for its cause, and to build the infrastructure in its soil, millions of Muslims were shipped to France for its economic and political interests. And The first Mosque in Paris was built in 1922 by French (non-Muslim) politicians.

4. France since Napoleon III was using Islam for its political interests, and never looked to Islam as a religion for a section of its citizen, and treated Islam as an outside entity and foreign to its political and social system. France always wanted to control the religion of Islam and Muslim under the banner of "French Islam"! And this did not and will not work in a "democratic" society. Also, France denied the rights of Muslim women to wear the hijab in some places, and ignoring some rights of Muslim, and harassing them in heir daily life.

So, you want France to cordon off its entire Muslim population and performing domicile visits to check for terrorist devices and other illegal things?
It did not, and will not work.
France should apologize to the Muslim population for failing to integrate and accept them as proper French citizens.
Also, France should apologize to Algeria for killing 1,500,000 Algerians during the 1954 - 1962 war.

I'll conjecture it approaches neglible.


Fair point. The survey was from one year ago. A lot can change in 12 months. Particularily under their circumstances.

A little experiment.

It's 12.55am in Jiangxi Province, China. A normal person would be in the land of nod with it being Monday tomorrow.

It's now 6:06am, and I've awoken to read the latest news from Hod about my life. I believe this has been addressed before...and my reply was

So what? Stalker, Hod.

It's now 6:07 and I am reviewing what I've written for Stalker Hod. I want to make sure their rather creepy desideratum is sufficiently sated in regard to my comings and goings and doings and not doings because, well, stalkers are like that.

It's now 6:08am and ...
