You do feel the same about teaching privates and teaching without an E-2, don't you?

There are hundreds of immigrant groups in N.A. Muslims are just one of many. Europe, on the other hand has two main demographic blocks: Indiginous Europeans and Muslim immigrants.


You're not serious, are you?? I'm pretty sure you're going to find more than two discrete groups in Europe. Indians, and Jamicans are two off the top of my head, and that's just England.

Happeningthang: I think that my comments probably apply more to continental Europe than the U.K. Although, I would venture to say that the U.K. also has a huge block of Muslim immigrants.

In this discussion I think that we need to remember that the bulk of the victims of Islamic fascism are Muslims. In Iraq, for example, Muslims form the bulk of the deaths; a far greater number than American servicemen.

I don't know why you want to insist on your intuitions. You're already on the computer...Google bee otch!! Wink

The US State Department's International Religious Freedom Report 2004 [1]. Other sources used were CIA factbook [2] and adherents.com [3]...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_by_country#By_country

say muslims make up 3.12% of the EU population. So maybe they're a major demographic block, but there's a BIG gap between first and second! I don't think the threat of this "potentially dangerous situation" is exactly imminent is it?

Yes, when you're under the hammer from both islamic facists and american servicemen johnny everyman muslim is going to have a hard time of it.

Well, the thing is the percentage of Muslims in Europe is more than double the percentage in N.A and is the largest minority group. Furthermore, they don't seem to be assimilating. Just the opposite in fact.
Also, the Muslim population is a young one and is is very fecund due to its youth and the patriarchical nature of its culture. Indiginous Europeans are not reproducing themselves. It seems to me that these last two points are worrisome.

I am one of those who believes that the west is at war with Islamic fascism whether we want to recognize it or not. The young Muslims in Europe have proven themselves to be a fertile ground for the fascistic beliefs of the fundementalist immams. The latest incident in the U.K. would point to this. As Ann Coulter so sarcastically put it recently, "Baby formula doesn't kill people, Islamic fascists kill people."

Young people generally have an almost insane drive to belong to a group. Young males crave adventure. Islamafascists are the biggest, most heavily financed gang around. Better by half than the Crips or the Bloods. No?

so then how are there muslims that have immigrated to america? immigrants don't receive welfare in the USA.

Havent read through this thread in its entirety (so you may have touched on this already) and I may be corrected on this but as I understand it, the reason why muslims reside in non islamic states is because they see it as there mission in life to spread the word of Islam and to basically spread there muslim brethren throughout the world (where they can and are allowed) in a vain and futile attempt to populate the world with their own kind.


are you serious?? Not to improve one's economic standing?? To spread Islam? Dude, give me a break.

Maybe they're not assimilating as quickly or evidently as some would like, but I would guess they're working on it. It doesn't matter diddley if there are double the percentage of NA it still equals 3.12% which, *sigh* even if you accept they are the largest minority, is a small, small amount.

That's probably the stupidest justification for a weak argument I've ever heard. The European muslim is characterised by their youth, patriarchal
nature and fecundity!!?? What, they're going to reproduce themselves into first place in the population stakes??

Really?? I'm surprised.

Sure, here you've got a valid point. Yes, there are some in the UK and, apparently Germany, who are vulnerable to being recruited by extremists. Still some of them are white christians who are converting, and not all muslims are part of this.

Firstly, who cares what venom this person is putting out as a soundbite, and secondly, what the hell does that mean?

Umm... no? If you want to be a bad ass then, sure I guess being a terrorist is as good (bad?) as being a gang banger. Let's just say there's not too many middle class kids joining up... If you want to belong that badly then I'd guess you're missing out on a lot of what most people take for granted.

Actually, I think that's the wittiest thing Coulter has ever said. (Granted, the bar is set pretty low- she sure ain't no Stephen Colbert.)

It's obviously a criticism of the latest security restrictions put on airline passengers.

Actually, the majority of would be Jihadis in the West are middle class and well educated. This has been shown time and time again, but it doesn't seem to stop people trotting out the usual nonsense about poverty and alienation being the prime causes of terrorism. Of course, this avoids any discussion of the elephant in the room, Islam.

I only wish that were true. Immigrants do recieve welfare in the US. I saw that on a first hand basis when I worked at a grocery store and probably 2 out of 5 people who would give me food stamps couldn't even speak English.

As I said somewhere else......won't touch this thread with a 10' mouse cord......

My god, makes me think of Spinoza's wise words, "happiness is good health and a poor memory". May I forget so much of the posturing that tries to pass for imposturing that doesn't even pass for sturing.....on this thread.

Nope, actually no spanish...muslims with 3-4 kids in tow with very little English abilities. I on numerous occasions tried to talk with them to be friendly.
