Sure seems like it's all about money.

The biggest clue a person can give that said person has never been to Europe or knows not one person who lives there is when they say the Muslims are taking over Europe and Europe is going down the toilet.

I see, so the dhimmification is conditional, right?

What is your insight? This is typical Conservative logic, just moan about a changed world that you hate and don't understand, and can't keep up with. I'd say to try to move to Scandinavia, but a Conservative American (ie. redneck) will not fit in any better up there than the handful of Muslims.

Easy. Europe shouldnt have to change and pander to others...they should pander and change for Europe

Dont like the cross? Go back to where you came from

Just like if I dont like the Koran or their beliefs, I wouldnt move there or demand change there

I am not really interested in what Real Madrid decide in relation to a resort in the UAE, which is in the middle east.

The club is still keeping it's traditional emblem, apart from promotional material related to this UAE project.

I also don't think Europe is that liberal, the French recently banned Muslim Veils and Headscarfs, and Europe has seen a rise of the political right in recent years.

Muslims often have a lot less freedoms in Europe than they do in the US.

WHat on Earth are you talking about? They're opening a resort and avoiding imagery that may turn off the locals. It's not exactly rocket science.

Kee-rist, the stuff that people find to get upset about.

You are aware that this is about Europeans opening a resort in the UAE, right? Real Madrid are the guests, here.
