Muslim prayer hall set on fire in Corsica

Postby Ashworth-Attwater » Sat Apr 30, 2016 3:57 pm

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-franc ... SKCN0XR09E

Reuters wrote:A Muslim prayer hall was seriously damaged by fire overnight in the capital of the French island of Corsica, local authorities said, four months after a separate Muslim prayer hall there was ransacked. No one was injured in the fire in Ajaccio, which police are investigating as criminal after finding two separate sources of fire inside the hall.


So, NSG, it seems there has been an attack on a Muslim prayer hall in Corsica. This is not the first time Islamophobic attacks have been carried out in France and in Corsica. Sadly, women in hijabs being harassed and mosques vandalized are nothing new in the land of post-structuralism and guillotined monarchs. But, most importantly, I want to know what are your thoughts on this. I, for one, am anxious to see European liberals rationalizing this as a natural reaction to the Charlie Hedbo and Paris attacks that happened last year. Does that, in your opinion, make these attacks on the Islamic community of France justifiable, NSG? Should they brace themselves for dark times to come? Are you happy that Muslims in Europe are being attacked? Is it their fault for not being assimilated into European Culture™? Comment below.

A very normal event in the light of increasing polarisation between cultures. I'm not a fan of Huntington, as I believe he looks at conflict from a rather narrow perspective, but he did have a point about one thing. Some politicians are also adding fuel to the fire - I'm looking at you, Wilders and Le Pen - for their own short-term political gains, blocking the way for moderate and level-headed politicians from doing their thing.

A random Muslim group will do X in some European country, Europeans will get angry.

A random European group will do Y against some innocent Muslim group in an European country, Muslims will get angry and more will be radicalised. Thus the cycle continues, benefiting those such as Le Pen and Wilders. Clearly, they are the good guys and the rational guys here. People who think of trying to break this endless cycle, however, should be denounced as "race-hating leftist cultural Marxists", because hey, victory through struggle, no?

Western Europe isn't safe for Muslims.

Ultra-nationalist Populists and Islamic Fundamentalists are throwing fuel on a fire that will consume Europe.

Sensible Muslims should emigrate before things get worse.

What the genuine fuck are you on about with this implication that people are going to cheer over this, or blame the victims?

Good god, I don't know what pisses me off more; the fact that such attacks happen or that you appear to believe I, or a significant portion of the forum would celebrate the misery of people who've most likely done nothing to deserve such a treatment.

Sorry, I thought this was 2016. I should most likely make a underground bunker, live in there for a couple decades. See you all in 2040 if nuclear war hasn't happened then.

NSG has a pretty large selection of Ultranationalists and Anti Islam Crusaders. Almost as many as Social Justice extremists.

In this case it's really not a far fetched assumption to think it will happen. Because it will.

Why does this never happen to extremists? It's always undeserving Muslims that get hit with these apparently random attacks.

Jochistan, do you genuinely think that people with the will to set a prayer hall on fire can distinguish between rational Sunni Muslims and Salafis?

No. The attacks are random. But they weirdly enough never seem to happen to fundamentalists.
