let me ask you this, do you think all muslims fit the stereotype you have put forth?

or all african nations?


I must ask the same question.
Remember that Hitler and the Nazis were not Muslims, that the Romans were not Muslims, that a vast numer of the Chinese that committed genocides were not Muslims. And I can keep going. Evil exists in all pockets of humanity, and people of every religion or lack of can descend into madness.


Yes but in the past few decades the Chinese, Nazis, and Romans haven't done much in the form of genocide.
With that said I'm more concerned with a dirty bomb in the hands of an Islamic terrorists than the Luftwaffe strafing my neighborhood with an Me-109.


Their are Christian Terrorists in American Kights of The Ku Klux Klan and the new KKK. No terrorist is good their all equally evil.


Yes but they are a far lesser threat than the people I'm talking about.
By comparison I'd rather have a cold than lung cancer.
I don't know how many different ways I need to explain that or if I should even bother.


Very true the hate Muslims has for the west goes back to the Crusades which Christians started to try and prevent the spread of Islam.

you have just shattered your entire argumentative style.

if you know there are exceptions any generalizations become null and void.

in denmark we have plenty of well educated immigrants, i have met more that were than i havemet there werent.
in fact the most immoral uneducated bastar i know in real life is a danish fundemetalist.


so should you be talking about groups of people? or groups of behavior?

even if you talk about groups of people i think there are too many variables unanswered for to make those generalizations.

QFT. I mean you have groups of people but they don't all agree/follow the same things.

This is such a ridiculous argument. Stalin is not all communists, not all communists are Marxists. There is no reason why you couldn't have a communist state which didn't close down the churches and slaughter the religious.

Hitler was a socialist, but nobody is killing the Jews in Europe today. Clement Atlee never suggested we murder all the gypsies and disabled people and homosexuals.

No - I'm finally starting to get across to you, and I think that's a good thing. As I've stated earlier on this forum, generalisations serve to make the discussion more accessible. If I had to nuance everything I said up to a point where you couldn't question it anymore, the discussion would be over and writing a post would take me several hours. Those posts, additionally, would be very hard to read for anyone not directly in the business of responding to them.

Denmark, apart from your use of personal anecdote in absence of structurally-correct argumentation, is rather xenophobic for European standards. You receive fewer immigrants. Almost 90% of your population is of primarily-Danish descent. And that's amazing - it's below 80% Dutch here. Relatively speaking, you receive fewer muslims, and unlike the Dutch government, Denmark's has taken more measures than us to keep the wrong ones out and keep ethnic segregation and crime under control. I'm sure I could easily get along with the higher-educated ones, but those aren't exactly common here, or in Belgium, or in most countries with more open immigration policies.

Why? There has been plenty of research here since the subject was slowly losing a taboo. In an official study using data from the police, it turns out over 60% of Moroccan young men have been arrested once, followed closely by 55% of Antillean young men. That was the first time such a thing was allowed to be measured. Before that, we were not allowed to think that the figures exceeded ethnic Dutch young men by much.

Even things that would have been considered vile racism twenty years ago are allowed to be researched now. Another study indicated that at least 80% of mentally-retarded children in Amsterdam is either Turkish or Moroccan in ethnicity. Most of the cause was determined to be inbreeding and another variable being their parents having a considerably-lower level of intelligence than parents in other ethnic groups, two reasons that could also account for the much-higher percentage of children with schizophrenia and several physical handicaps among islamic minorities. Yes, islamic culture has even caused a large-scale genetic problem.

More like liberals screech and point fingers at the Christians over comparatively insignificant flaws in an effort to draw unfavorable attention to the Christians and put them on the defensive while Islam continues to infect the western world. Call it a diversionary tactic of potentially (to put it mildly) catastrophic proportions.

**that depends on what you want to get across, a justification that you can discriminate based on race? or that there are people with bad behavior?, i never questioned the latter, only the apparant misatribution of such, as for generalizations, they are always wrong, by the very fact that they are generalizations**

**havent you used personal anecdote as well, citing the bad behavior you have witnessed as a reason for your views?
denmark does have certian restrictions on immigration, but those restrictions do not apply to asylym seekers and many of the groups you mention fall into that category.
there are also some of the laws that have been voted as unconstitutional and were thus nullified, the age restriction on marriages was one, partly because of discriminatory implementation.

as for the measures we have taken to minimize crime and segregation, that is called integration and it works by not entertaining the notion that they as people are different than anyone in denmark,**

you havent taken socioeconomic status into account, nor the political climate, any group under stress will experience more issues, calling for them to be thrown out of the country or not allowed to enter doesnt help in that matter.

here is a quick list from the behavioral criminology lab at the fbi


Quote:
Population density and degree of urbanization.
Variations in composition of the population, particularly youth concentration.
Stability of the population with respect to residents’ mobility, commuting patterns, and transient factors.
Modes of transportation and highway system.
Economic conditions, including median income, poverty level, and job availability.
Cultural factors and educational, recreational, and religious characteristics.
Family conditions with respect to divorce and family cohesiveness.
Climate.
Effective strength of law enforcement agencies.
Administrative and investigative emphases of law enforcement.
Policies of other components of the criminal justice system (i.e., prosecutorial, judicial, correctional, and probational).
Citizens’ attitudes toward crime.
Crime reporting practices of the citizenry.


if you really want to convince anyone then do a proper examination of all these factors so you can sniff out the actual effects of ethnicity, most research i have seen on teh subject matter shows a higher correlation between poverty, population density and age (seperately) than race.

therer is so many variables with such far reaching consequences that i dont see how anyone can justify discrimination based upon it, and lets face it here, the second you start treating people differently beause of where they come from and not what they do you are discriminating, justified or not(not that i think anyone have ever done a good enough job of doing so, it would take millions of data samples from around the world collected in teh same scope)

also please come with some links to the studies mentioned in your post, this talk of genetical problems is unnerving to say the least.

That's an odd idea to entertain. We're not making them feel bad. They have more rights than us, they have cultural subsidies, they have taxpayer-funded islamic education, they can have their mosques funded in part by taxpayers, some criminal young men even got taxpayer-funded sailing trips for 'team building' and taxpayer-funded martial arts training, and one police department even refused to hire a white man, regardless of competence, in favour of a foreigner, and preferably also a woman. Thing is, there is little to no inbreeding in any other ethnic groups, and as a result a large majority of the population has only 20% of all officially-retarded children in Amsterdam, and even fewer non-recognised ones.

Ethnicity, not race. As far as I know, black Moroccans are equally likely to be involved in crime as more Arab-skinned ones.

Their economic conditions are worse than the national average, but on an international scale, they're better off than the majority groups in most other European countries. What is true, though, is that neighbourhoods tend to deteriorate in terms of structural integrity of buildings, crime rates and unemployment levels and stores start closing with offices becoming vacant as more and more non-European and non-Asian immigrants move in.

Their cultural factors play a giant role in that. After all, Chinese people tend to integrate, receive education and find a job within years of coming here, whereas Moroccans and Antilleans have been meandering about for sixty-odd years now and still form the bottom layer of society. Because of their distinctly-different culture and religion, they tend to be involved in self-chosen segregation. Housing companies tried to distribute them more evenly across regions, but they simply used their official houses for other purposes and sticked to 'their' neighbourhoods most of the time. They're shockingly lacking in contacts with ethnically-European groups, even though there have been countless initiatives to try and get them to. Chinese people, while receiving little to no help at all, have done this all by themselves in a matter of years and are now a very-respected minority.

It is. I'll quote some interesting excerpts from information I've found so far.

http://vorige.nrc.nl/opinie/article1570300.ece wrote:
Moroccan and Turkish babies in the Netherlands have a higher chance of being born with hereditary diseases than Dutch or other foreign babies. This causes their chance of a premature death to increase noticeably, research carried out by professor Schulpen of the Wilhelmina Pediatric Hospital in Utrecht shows. The most important cause is that Moroccans and Turks marry mostly within their own community. If both parents carry a genetically-determined disease, the chance of a genetic defect in their children increases. This situation is deepened because of marriages between relatives or people originating in closed communities.
(...)
It is unlikely that almost 80% of young Moroccans and Turks living in the Netherlands can only find the love of their life in their country of origin, and often only in the village their parents lived before moving to the Netherlands. Arranged marriages, as seen with many girls, is highly inappropriate. Adding to this is the medical and ethical argument that the chance of hereditary diseases increases as both parents have the same origins and genetic defects. Parents take risks that affect the lives of both their children and themselves.


http://nos.nl/artikel/78461-marokkanen-meer-kans-op-schizofrenie.html wrote:
Moroccan men are between four and six times as likely to develop schizophrenia as Dutch men.
(...)
Moroccan-Dutch people are not likely to look for professional help. This is caused in part by the idea of schizophrenia in Moroccan culture. There is still a large taboo on mental conditions. When the first signals set in, many parents think their child is insane or possessed by a demon. Many parents send their children to Morocco for [religious] treatment, or try to find alternative [religious] treatment within their own community in the Netherlands.
(...)
Most Moroccan men in one care home ask themselves: "is this because Allah wants to punish us?"


A cooperative literature study wrote:
There are no exact figures. There is, though, an indication that Disbudak says indicates the size of the problem: 80% of children in Amsterdam who are not in regular education but in special education or special day care is Moroccan or Turkish. Of those, a large majority male. These are children officially registered as mentally ret*d. The actual number, according to Disbudak, is much higher, because families ignore or deny the fact that they have a mentally-handicapped child out of shame. The problem is not limited to children. Aysel Disbudak, leader of Unal Care, states that 'it is not uncommon for some foreign families to have at least one parent who is also mentally ret*d.'

(following case study:)
Ali's mother is having difficulties raising him. According to her, he is not listening and he often argues with his two younger sisters. Occasionally, he hurts them. His mother knows Ali can't keep living at home. She thinks it would be best for Ali to get a good wife, so she can take care of him. Ali's grandparents also find it important that Ali has a normal life. It is a man's duty to marry and have children. That way, others will not think ill of him and Ali will end up well. His mother and his grandparents are, however, worried. Will he be able to find regular employment? And will he be able to stay afloat financially when they die?
