    Here in Ireland? Can't see how.

    People are under the mistaken belief that we here in Ireland are some how so tolerant and our Muslim community so particularly clement that we don't experience these problems.

    This isn't the case. It's all to do with numbers. We don't yet have large enough Muslim community to see the Islamic strife caused in other European countries. Our Muslim population will become progressively more militant, belligerent and demanding no matter how they are treated. It's a situation we've seen all over Europe, the higher the proportion of Muslims in the population the more social disharmony caused by that community.

    Take Sweden. No country was more welcoming, more inclusive, more submissive to it's Muslim immigrants. Look at Sweden now. A deeply divided, unhappy country. Entire sectors of cities Islamified. Jews being driven out. Ethnically Swedish women suffering a disproportionately high rate of assault and rape at the hands of Muslim men. No go areas for non-Muslims. Swedish youths flocking to join the barbarity in the Middle East, eager to bring some home with them.

    Still, the appeasement continues. The Swedish reaction to the Charlie Hebdo outrages was not to condemn militant Islam or defend press freedom but to rail against the right wing. As if they were killing people or destroying the country.

    It'll come to Ireland eventually. We've seen the start of it with Dr.Ali feeling able to demand backward changes to the Irish education and dictate to the Irish people, along with threats, what we should and shouldn't read and write.

    Sweden is drowning under a tide of "diversity". It's a little further up the road than other European nations but we're all following in the same direction as the "tolerant" (yet, ironically, deeply intolerant of dissenting opinions), "liberal", left wing, politically correct dogma still dominates all discourse on the subject and stifles any reasoned debate.

    Are there any sources for this that aren't from a neo-Nazi rag?

    Around here, it's considered good manners to address your concerns to specific posters comments.

    Thank you...... Mr. Godwin?

    Can you answer my query?

    I've no idea what it is or who it's addressed to.

    It's addressed to you and well you know it.

    Have you any sources to corroborate your OP?

    You know, less biased ones.

    How is my original source biased?

    It's quoting this source:

    http://www.expressen.se/nyheter/kommunen-vill-ge-jobb-till-is-krigare-1/

    Is this biased too?

    Just to be clear, are you saying this story is fabricated?

    Sterling effort there, shut the discussion down quickly by screaming Nazi at people if where it's going offends your pro-immigration, politically correct sensibilities.

    Just because you dislike what a media outlet reports, doesn't make it a "neo-Nazi rag".

    While I completely understand people's concern about islamic fundamentalism and it spreading, Speise doesn't exactly seem like the most balanced of publications in fairness.

    Also, pro-immigration doesn't automatically mean being ok with absolutely anyone being allowed to migrate here.

    Politically correct isn't always a bad thing either. For example, it had Irish people living in Britain in the 1970s in mind.

    Looks like he walked backwards out of that argument as fast as he could.

    It's the rhetoric drowned in idealism that put people off the idea, I think. Where's the realism? Where's the acknowledgement that lumping ideologies that are, by definition, opposed to each other will probably lead to societal tensions?

    Speisa. You don't even know the name of the publication yet you're able to decide if it's reliable or not. Bravo!


    If he linked to a Swedish source, people would complain that it's in Swedish. But here's one anyway: http://www.svt.se/nyheter/regionalt/tvarsnytt/kommun-hjalper-is-krigare

    Na, I made my point. It seems hysterically tilted websites and the Swedish version of the News Of The World are evidence enough to start a debate these days.

    Ooh, I mis-spelled it - you have one hundred per cent OWNED me!
    (How can I not know the name when I looked directly at it? :confused:).

    From reading it (that's how you figure out these things) it's plain as day to anyone with eyes that it's extremely biased. Guess that's ok when it's a bias you agree with though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,541 ✭✭✭RobYourBuilder


    It's a translation of the article I linked to. "Owned" what are you, twelve?

    I reread your posts, still can't find the point you claim to have made besides an immediate and uninspired godwinning of the thread.

    At least wait until you've lost (wouldn't have taken long) before reaching for Godwin!

    They are looking into it and following on a similar Project done by the Danish city of Århus.

    A regional, unsubstantiated report from last Monday, replicated on two other sites of dubious intention. Seems verifiability is not as finely practised an art as when I went to school, but whatever, carry on.

    I think you make a fair point because I don't think it's people who come in all shapes and forms tastes and flavours that are the issue or a potential issue more a case of how their brains are wired or potentially wired. that isn't a people issue it's ideological.

    Majority of Europe's Muslims Favor Sharia Over Democracy:

    Multiculturalists argue that Muslim citizens will eventually adopt the West's democratic mindset. These findings make that doubtful.

    The majority of Muslims in Europe believe Islamic Sharia law should take precedence over the secular constitutions and laws of their European host countries, according to a new study, which warns that Islamic fundamentalism is widespread and rising sharply in Western Europe.

    The "Six Country Immigrant Integration Comparative Survey"—a five-year study of Moroccan and Turkish immigrants in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Holland and Sweden—was published on December 11 by theWZB Berlin Social Science Center, one of the largest social science research institutes in Europe.

    According to the study (German and English), which was funded by the German government, two thirds (65%) of the Muslims interviewed say Islamic Sharia law is more important to them than the laws of the country in which they live.

    now if that is indeed true well then it's something that needs to be addressed because concerns everyone. the law of some imaginary god doesn't matter which particular chosen god that happens to be must never trump the law of man. because that isn't democracy it's a theocracy which I think certain strains of Islam is bordering on.

    Regional? Dubious intention? Unsubstantiated? I just linked you to an article from the Swedish national broadcaster confirming the story.

    Of course it is legitimate.
    Moroccans cant get rid of their Moroccan passport no matter how hard they try.

    So taking away their Dutch citizenship doesnt make them stateless.

    While the mayor of Rotterdam, who is holding a Dutch and Moroccan passport, might say he is Dutch first, then Moroccan, i ll bet you these idiots who go on jihad will tell you they are Moroccan and only are Dutch when it is convenient to them.

    The holder of this passport gave the right example.
    if they are born in holland then thats where they are from, making your point irrelevant. them being moroccan is only relevant if they were born there

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    no, but the fact it is a neo-Nazi rag makes it a neo-Nazi rag

    I cannot remember the last time you debated anything with anyone. I have posted several responses and questions to you that you simply ignore.

    This thread is a discussion, not a blog of one liners and non sequiturs. Thanks.

    They simply translated an article into English, that was previously published by the Swedish national broadcaster. How does that make them "a neo-Nazi rag"?

    You should go into a mosque in Holland, Belgium or France and tell them that.

    So the Swedish national broadcaster carries "regional", unsubstantiated reports?

    Isn't it more likely that the report doesn't conform with your own narrow view and and makes you uncomfortable so you've been reduced to questioning it's validity, even when it's validity has been confirmed for you several times?

    Or that you're casting about for a way out now that it's been clearly demonstrated that, despite your smugness, you were wrong and had no idea what you were talking about?
