Their attitudes are light years behind us. The only shining beacon in the middle east, despite its treatment of Palestinians, is Israel, where agriculture thrives, people can be themselves, and the cities clean and hygienic.

If we got word that ISIS had captured/killed soldiers on the ground, and had done something to the bodies to stop them reaching their own respective heavens, what do you think our reaction would be? Would it be one of "Oh, well maybe we shouldn't have soldiers on the ground?" or would it be one of "Well, fúck you, now we're really going to fúck you up."

The character that allowed women to die by denying them life saving medical tratment on the basis that "this is a Catholic country"? Thats a character that needs changing! That bit does for certain but how is mass immigration going to do that ? If the predominant religion is muslim how will that positively influence the woman's rights situation ?

We tolerate their cruel inhumane treatments of minorities and then complain when the consequences play out in Europe until this relationship is reshaped we will continue to have yes Algerian French and Moroccan Dutch committing violence on the streets of Paris & Amsterdam. You'd be laughed out of the audience if you were to suggest that Saudi Arabia build a Catholic Church in Mecca or Medina yet in Europe we have Mosques, churches, temples, Synagogues & fortune tellers to cater to every religion.

We cherish our freedoms and that means everyone, no matter what their race or creed. We don't take our cues from Saudi, if we did we'd be no better than them. Saudi is a monarchy, it's comparable to dictatorships of which there are many. The difference is that Saudi uses a messed up interpretation of a religion to enforce it's power. It's the same as any totalitarian state which uses an ideology. Wahhabism is to islam as Stalinism is to socialism.
