    I thought I'd highlight a point made in another thread to show you why there is anti Muslim sentiment in different EU countries.Multiculturalism doesn't work,multi-racialism does.

    A bunch of Muslims in Paris organised a big "lets get together and pray in front of shop fronts and in the street" protest deally.

    EDIT: Scratch that. Sorry. Wasn't a protest. No sound on this computer. Some guy just went around Paris with a video camera recording Muslims praying in the street.



    http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2010/August/Islamization-of-Paris-a-Warning-to-the-West/
    "is camera shows that Muslims "are blocking the streets with barriers. They are praying on the ground. And the inhabitants of this district cannot leave their homes, nor go into their homes during those prayers."

    The Muslims taking over those streets do not have any authorization. They do not go to the police headquarters, so it's completely illegal," he says.

    The Muslims in the street have been granted unofficial rights that no Christian group is likely to get under France's Laicite', or secularism law.

    "It says people have the right to share any belief they want, any religion," Lepante explained. "But they have to practice at home or in the mosque, synagogues, churches and so on."

    Some say Muslims must pray in the street because they need a larger mosque. But Lepante has observed cars coming from other parts of Paris, and he believes it is a weekly display of growing Muslim power.

    "They are coming there to show that they can take over some French streets to show that they can conquer a part of the French territory," he said.

    Seems like some bloke trying to sh1t stir.

    I wouldn't be taking that video at face value.
    Its from here - http://www.cbn.com/

    Its run by Pat Robertson, who is something of a nut and a right wing hawk.

    Would you prefer if Europe was like Pakistan?

    Would you prefer to live in an intolerant, backward, brutal country like that?

    What's amazing about it? It's just a bunch of Muslim's praying on the street.
    The cameraman, by the way, seems to be walking around the same area over and over again in an attempt to give the impression that there are numerous streets blocked off.
    Basically, this seems like some kind of religion based protest; there have been many examples of this kind of thing in Ireland.
    How does this herald the imminent 'Islamisation' of France, as this preposterous report suggests?

    Illegal street protests? They sound like true Frenchmen.

    Allez Allah!

    I did, what's your point? Do you want to have the same standards of pakistan.
    I mightn't like a bunch of people having an imaginary friend fest, but the whole point of having a lot of freedoms is you're not meant to like them all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 46,938 ✭✭✭✭Nodin


    Its a bit odd to pray in the street for any number of reasons. However, as this video comes from the same fecker who came out with this crap
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Robertson_controversies
    we may never know.

    Maybe the Mosque was being done up.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,619 ✭✭✭fontanalis


    Using Pat Robertson to back up a point (unless you're mocking him) should guarantee that person no credibility in future arguements.

    Are you posting this because it's bollocksology or because you just don't want to hear it.

    They are asking western society to provide them with freedoms that they are completely unwilling to grant to western citizens in a muslim country in return.

    Political correctness has a lot to answer for.

    So you think people of a different religion shouldn't be allowed to pray in public? Is that not political correctness (spits) on your behalf?

    No it wasn't? Relying on Pat Robertson to report on religous extremism is nonsense. Nodin was making a simple point.

    In Europe, yes, but I've seen scenes almost identical to the ones in the video in Morocco.

    What a load of bollocks that so called "news report" is. It is just Muslims praying on the street because there is not enough room in the Mosque for friday prayer. Friday prayer lasts 5 minutes and all Muslims must pray together at the same time. If they help the Muslims get a bigger mosque, problem solved.

    I never said that. So please stop trying to put words into my mouth.

    My position is that I have no problem with freedom of religious expression. My problem is if it's done in a manner which a) is illegal b) impacts upon people who dont practice this religion (albeit only blocking off a road)

    If a group of non muslims gathered in public in a muslim country to publicly express their faith would they be treated in this manner.

    So you would prefer to live in an intolerant, backward country where there is a different hierarchy of rights based on ones religion?

    Perhaps I misheard or took it up the wrong way but wasn't it said that this was illegal in France.

    They can do all the praying they like. It wouldnt bother me particularly but religion shouldnt be above the law. It seems relatively innocent but it is still against the law.

    But that is not what happened. The Muslims didn't gather in public to express their faith, their mosque was completely full and they had no option but to pray on the road. Hey, the same happens in South Circular Road mosque, except they have a yard to pray in. Go down any Friday about 1pm and you will see lots of Muslims praying in the yard, clearly visible fromt he street. Now if the muslim population was to dramitically rise I predict they would also pray on the footpath. But it would be because they have no other alternative.

    I understand that. I don't have any problem with people not having the room. It also says in this video (10 seconds in) that this is all illegal in Paris.

    If it wasnt illegal would there be any problem with people praying in public? Now I'm not well up on what the laws concerning freedom of religious expression on the south circular road but what would the position be if it was illegal.

    No. You're suggesting that we go against our culture/beliefs regarding freedom of religion and follow the example of these muslim countries, because you despise the culture/beliefs of these muslim countries and how they conduct themselves. :confused:
    It's jumbled-up thinking.
