Probably because people don’t like to admit that the distinction between violent extremists and extremists is not a distinction which is ultimately tenable.

Sunday Times once wrote that there was a covenant between MCB and the Govt. such that by recognisisng MCB as an unofficial channel to radicals and terrorists abroad then we would stay safe from attack. Somehow, being pals with MCB demonstrated UK acquiescence towards a more relaxed attitude towards accepting Muslim integration more easily. A few concessions here and there and you’ll be OK mate!

Either ST was wrong or the govt. made a big mistake.

I look forward to a time when technology has rendered Middle Eastern oil and religion mere historical curiosities rather than necesseties for consideration. Maybe then those unfortunate peoples, supposedly the cradle of civilisation, will actually grow up and stop behaving like self-important, self-pitying savages.

Very nicely put.

I too long for that day.

The funny thing is that Muslims who leave their countries and ‘integrate’ into the evil Western Liberal Democracies very often excel in their chosen profession from Music to basic science.

Conclusion. Its not genetic.

It is the dampening down of any real inquisitiveness that present day Islam exerts on its adherents.

I had a bit of a go at him for it. Since your username is “Christian Zionist” what’s your take on his views about “Christian Zionism?”

They are being branded as terrorists and are accused of promoting the culture of death, by which they mean the culture of jihad and martyrdom, as opposed to the culture of capitulation that they call the culture of life. They are trying to drag the resistance movements into internal struggles which the resistance refuses to join. They are exercising pressure on the resistance movements to change their priorities, and are trying to deceive the ummah into substituting an enemy for a friend, and become an enemy to Syria and Iran. They are besieging the resistance, stifling its voice, and preventing its legitimate, reasonable, human, faithful, noble, and clear stands.
…
To our utter regret, brothers and sisters, many Arab media and writers who call themselves Arab, backed by huge technical and financial resources, are employed in this war against the resistance movements.

It’s the beginning of the end for fascism in the middle east.

But I have never been as ashamed of anything in my life that peace and freedom in the middle east instead of being promoted and sped up by “progressives” in the west, it is the fascists who are being propped up. There is nothing in the world as obscene as The Guardian and the brainless self-deluding pseudo-progressivism it represents. Nothing.

Compared to Christian Europeans, Jews, the Chinese, Indians and orthers, what precisely have they contributed to the advance of human civilisation as whole? Very little. The negatives far outweigh the positives.

They are so desperate to stay in power, they will make accord with anyone who might hold out a straw to a drowning man.

And if they should get in again (G-d forbid), they’ll drop their new best friends like a hot coal.
