Do we still want muslims in our western nations?
...next question.
muslim nations that seem to be doing quite well, with modern civilization:
Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Brunei, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Oman, Malaysia, Turkey, the list goes on, in fact MOST muslim countries seem to be functioning quite tip-top.
conclusion: your talking out of your ass.
" ...next question."
Every society has its very rich and its very poor. The real key to a society is the "middle class". How well are they doing?

theyre doing JUST well enough. theres nowhere saying that the goal for humanity is for everyone to watch tv all day, browse the internet, and roll in riches.
the countries i listed are tip-top, on an overall scale.
fuzzy, yes my "tip-top" is compared to so many other countries on this planet, that have it much much worse, such as sudan, north korea, somalia

Hahaha! Somalia and Sudan are both Islamic countries! Point, set, match!
North Korea is arguably the most religious country on earth. The Father (Kim Il Sung) is still president despite being DEAD. The son (Kim Jong Il) is said to be a re-incarnation of the father. As soon as the find a holy spirit, they'll have a holy trinity!!

expansion was necessary as you only offered a vague statement, I fail to see your point, the behaviour I'm speaking of comes from by far the majority of the EDL - not a few 'bad eggs' - and I'm fully aware of the idiocy of some of those acting on the Left. I'm bloody sick of idiot anarchists fetishizing the police to the point where they think giving a copper a black eye and a fat lip will save the world. i'm both bored and tired of lefty student dilettantes turning up hungover and exhausted just to boost their left credentials. This is not a hobby for me. to quote a muslim "Respect me, or put me to death" (Malcolm X) *edit (was a fragment) is hte attitude I try to carry 24/7 including demos, and would like to think there are a few more people capable of both maturity and discipline in such an event.

B9, the details of the complaints may change, but what you have described is basically what has happened nearly every time a large new immigrant group arrives in a country. There is always a clash of cultures and expectations, especially when there is a perceived unfair distribution of assets. You could have been talking about me driving through a slum part of town; a few years ago, I would have said I was seeing the same thing. So what is the source of the things you are seeing? The religion, the ethneticity? Or poverty? Or unfamiliarity? Or the pain of assimilating values? I don't believe it is inherent to the faith or to the people. I believe it comes from the situation.

You are a muslim if you choose to live under certain islamic rules and believe in islamic goals. One goal of Islam is a peaceful society in which law, justice, the state and religion are one and the same system; knowa as sharia. Just google islamic rules to have a peek what you could or could not do within such a society.
I myself believe in seperate systems for religion and government, other that that I am more of an individualist that a community-type person. i also believe that people should be controlled less, not more therefore I am not a Muslim.
This does't mean i disagree with most Muslim goals, just some. I believe our western world has gone a bit to far in for example egocentrism, equality between genders and kapitalism, Muslims agree with me on those issues.
is that not a deeply heretical thing to say? I'm not certain about Islam but Christians don't choose to be Christians, they are Christians, this being because they hear the call of Christ, so to speak. The capacity to pick and choose one's god/s or faith is a feature of paganism (and the New Age-wishy washy eastern philosophy Capitalist equivalent), there are probably a lot of christians on the forum none of whom, i imagine, would be able to truthfully say "well, i weighed up the pro's and con's of each faith, past history, what you put in, what you get out and decided the best package for me was X, Y, Z". Rather, at some point the very core of their being has identified with the sacrifice of Christ and exercise fidelity to this event throughout their lives.
Yeah but all the other groups in western society behave so well! They don't kill, steal, rape, or blow up buildings and go on shooting rampages! They especially would never do such things and then say it was ok because the victims didn't believe as they do.
...oh wait, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever typed.
I've had it with ignorant humans. Someone hurry up and develop an A.I. to take over already. I want off this rock.
This thread and the intolerant threads like it are turning WP into a raciest rant site, Hey WP = White Power,
I hope that makes you all proud, the OP and people like him should be ignored for the knuckle draggers they
are, I am disgusted that I have AS, I don't want to be associated with what I hear on this site, this filth has
been spewed long enough, turn WP back into Wrong Planet
