You use to be pretty rational.
I made no comparisons, you did.

If that many individuals hate the West, then my point stands, they aren't assimilating well and perhaps those individuals should leave rather than stay in the West disproportionately on welfare while preaching the destruction of the West.
I don't know how many hate the west....all the same.....if we are going to be violent in their societies, we should leave.

I actually think there is a market here for specific days/weekends where people would dress more modestly at amusement areas. I have a friends who is Mormon that always feels like an outcast for making her girls wear full coverage suits when even the younger girls are wearing the equivalent of string bikinis. And I know some other more Conservative Christians that feel similarly about swim attire.


If Disney does gay days there is no reason someone cannot carve out a couple of times for those on the opposite end of the spectrum.

IMO a business's rights trump those of the people they serve. If you don't want to bake a cake for someone that is gay, christian, muslim or because you think they look funny that should be your choice. The only exception to this should be utilities/monopolies.

I advocate for the second amendment. There is a convenience store near me that put up a sign that said no guns, not only do I support their right to do this but I also encourage it. I don't spend any money at that store anymore and considering the sign only lasted about 2 weeks I suspect there is lot of other people that don't either.

If a Christian group booked a park for the day here in America so that their faithful can enjoy the park in a "wholesome" setting, I am sure they would:
  • Exclude people with those funny but profane t-shirts
  • Make sure there is no alcohol served in the park
  • Ask people to abstain from swearing
  • Tell women they cannot wear "c**chie-killers" on that day
  • They might even ask patrons from refraining from kissing or even holding hands in the park on that day

What's the difference?

The difference is that Leftists would descend on the park with rainbow shirts, glitter bombs, and banners with slogans against Christian beliefs.

Instead when it comes to Muslims, Leftists don't just look the other way, they are the enablers.

Sorry, your hangups apparently have very little to do with reality. If it is a private park day, most "leftists" would not care.

You are another person who seems to rage against the left for whatever evil actions they seem "in you mind" to take. How often I wonder do you rail against the right? Doesn't this sillyness make you tired?

I pointed out that nearly half of UK Muslims don't think it is out of mainstream for a UK Muslim cleric to preach violence against the West in regards to problems of assimilation in the West. You respond with Jesus flipping over a table...

Those preachers preach that violence against infidels is warranted through a literal reading of their holy words where martyrs get babes in heaven.

Absurd of you to bring up a flipped over table.

As a Liberal I believe in cleaning my own house first. I will not stop exposing the hypocrisy of Liberals when it comes to Islam.

OK, then please post links to these "actual" protests and tell me how often this really happens vs those only in your head.

Nice! Soon sharia law will be Europe's new law.

They should also do a suicide bomb day only for muslims.
