BINGO!

We never, ever ever spend any time learning about that. And certainly, the Arabs never harbor any ethnic or racial guilt over what their religion and ancestors did. Yet, Europeans do. Europeans always have to be "introspective" while the rest of the world gets a pass for being complete *******s in the past.

Wonder why that is? Maybe they think Europeans are intellectually and morally superior, so what they did was a major failing on their part, as compared to "brown" people and cultures, who have no agency over themselves or their history? It's the only explanation, and it's that soft bigotry of lowered expectations that's very ubiquitous on the left.
Either that or the Left really does believe the Europeans are morally inferior. Which is not only incorrect but the definition of racist as well. Which is it? Either way the Left is very racist.

1% no big deal. 10% problems start. 50%, tipping point. Beyond that, you typically have civil unrest, sometimes war. You definitely get takeover of institutions and slow creep of Sharia and Islamification.

Need more evidence? Please see Lebanon.



As for "fearmongering" I'm sure you and many on the left also don't spend inordinate amounts of time wringing your hands about, say, the KKK and its ideology.... which numbers in the couple of THOUSANDS?

Switzerland bans these because they are inherently cruel.

Well, I have shown some concern over Catholic priests of late, if we're comparing apples to apples. Given how they actually go after humans of the defenceless variety, perhaps we should reassess allowing them to proliferate among us, eh? I mean if we're pitching fear and all.

You have no evidence that Catholic priests commit sex crimes at a higher rate than muslims, atheist or any other identifiable group.

Nope, it's pretty much a human issue. We all have to eat and for those of us that do eat animals we know what happens , but to overtly cause harm to one effects us all. Ask a hunter if he would enjoy torturing a deer prior to killing it...


As far as the Islamic thing...it is what it is, a barbaric ideology.

PETA is not "the law" so they have no legal authority to stop anyone from animal cruelty and they cannot prosecute animal cruelty cases.

Just an FYI.

It should be a police matter.

Live fish is dipped into hot oil with its head kept up.
And then it’s immediately served to the clients in Chinese restaurants - the blinking eyes of the fried fish in your plate is an evidence that’s it’s fresh.
