You know what, this is an important point. If the current Islamization of society is going the way it is, we WON'T be able to protest at all, much like their homeland and sharia law.

Precisely what I fear.


It's amusing how many people sincerely believe that if the Muslims aren't driven out of Germany the Reichstag will sprout minarets and transform into a giant mosque.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

And, what percentage of Muslims want protests banned? Have you personally met any Muslims that want protests banned?


well as long as they are not in power nobody would want them banned, but as soon as they had power, well that's a differen't story as shariah law would likley come into effect in one way or another.

i mean if i were a nazi i would hate to not be able to protest, but sure as shit if i was in power I would crush any dissent.

Why do you believe that? Plenty of Muslims hold seats in national parliaments in Europe, and they're advocating freedom of expression and democracy. I fail to see why you think they'd try to implement Sharia.

Because Islam is genetic, silly.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.

Percentage of muslims? I don't know, but any number above 1% is too much. Personally? Yes I have and the guy was a hypocritical dick (at a Sharia Law for UK rally)

As Christianity became less religious it became more tolerant, open, scientifically and economically advanced. If we are not prepared to reform Islam in the West and force them to integrate, it will forever be a religion with extremist susceptibility.

It's amusing how many people sincerely believe that if the Muslims aren't driven out of Germany the Reichstag will sprout minarets and transform into a giant mosque.


Who did claim that?

I'd argue that over 1% of Christians probably want a theocracy. By your logic, we should deport all Christians.

And, Christianity doesn't have extremist susceptibility? What? Furthermore, have you ever considered the fact that many Muslims try to escape extremism when they immigrate to Europe?

You quote people and then comment something bad about some people that belong to the group your "opponent" is defending. Why quoting people then?

Is there a forum rule that states you can only quote someone if you're directly addressing their quote?

point i was trying to make was that groups who hate the ideals of personal freedom usually are all for protests until they come into power. These groups have an advantage in our nations because they are tolerated and any kind of aggression is pushed aside as fringe.

You "hide" offensive remarks aimed at angering others. But that's off topic, I am done here.

That's why you quote people! Addressing the quote is the point.

Alright. Islamic political parties don't hold seats in West Europe. Most Islamist politicians are part of democratic, free parties. Your point is absolute shit.

Escaping extremism by bringing it over here? sounds more like colonialism. 1% of Christians in the West want a theocracy? heavily doubtful. Even then I am in no way condoning Christian extremism or lack of integration, it's almost as bad as it's Islamic counterpart

Don't see why you're apologizing. Especially when you should be debated. Don't cop out of the debate with the whole "well, that's your opinion" malarkey. Until you can show me that there is a legitimate threat posed to free speech because of Islam, the discussion will continue.

Are we really that primitive that we still have people hating on other religions because they are a different faith?

The world has never left the medieval era, it seems.
For anyone wondering, I joined this website during my edgy teenage years. I made a lot of dumb, awkward posts, flip-flopped between various extreme ideologies, and just generally embarrassed myself. I denounce a sizable amount of my past posts. I am no longer active on NationStates and this nation/account is no longer used.

You're right, it's 34%

Furthermore, if Christian extremism is bad, what makes it less bad than Islamic extremism? Is loss of life caused by radical Christianity better than loss of life caused by radical Islam?
