It's probably going to be forbidden by the mayor .. it's technically legal for a private business to do this kind of stuff but after the recent attacks they won't allow it nevertheless

I'd agree but that doesn't mean they escape criticism for it.

Some how I am having a hard time visioning Burkini and water fun......what we call a bodysuit, they are glamorizing it. Strange, if Christian women are covered up people call them oppressed, but a Muslim women is liberated.

There is the hard jihad; rapes, shootings, stabbings, beheadings, etc. in the name of Islam, and then there is the soft jihad; accommodating Islamic culture, while slowly eroding secular values.

No group of people are bigger hypocrites than the Muslims.
Muslims when in majority in the 50+ countries that Islam occupies, do not even give equal rights to the Non-Muslim citizens (who are the original inhabitants), while in Non-Muslim countries they demand special privileges.

The Leftists are shills for Islam, and will continue to apologize for Islam's hard jihad, while push for society to bend to Islam's soft jihad.
Mohammadanism is a religion that needs to be stamped out of western civilization with all adherents booted back to whatever hole they climbed out of.

That goes to Khizr Khan who the democrats hold up as a role model of what the modern immigrant should be.

In the West, their Jihad has met with far too much success for people to stay ignorant.



It's the frog in the pot scenario.

Turn up the heat too fast, the frog will jump out. Turn it up slowly it will get accustomed to the temperature until it's too late and dies.

There is certainly some truth here.

The fall of Rome was not due to any clear cut war or decisive battle with Germanic tribes. Rather, the barbarians migrated slowly in waves from the north and became part of the Empire -- and were welcomed by the Romans -- until they finally had amassed enough power to sack Rome.

They rented the park. They can wear whatever they want.

That is a fair point.

They look around and see the destruction we are responsible for and you blame them?
Are you serious?

Jesus overturning tables is similar to a guy on welfare preaching that killing infidels gets you babes in heaven, because Muhammad said so while he raped sex slaves, killed civilians, etc...

You use to be pretty rational.


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.
