Nope.

Going back to the OP's first posting, it seems the German Chancellor is changing her tune. She knows she badly messed up by allowing waves upon waves of people into Europe all at the same time and in an unorderly way. Now she is trying to do political damage control. Having said that, it seems they will have to take a page out of Trumps book. Instead of Trump s silly Great wall of Mexico, better would be the Great Wall of Europe. Just go ask Israel since Israel has perfected modern wall building.

If Germany wanted to allow all those refugees in fine but why did it have to involve Germanys neighbors. Seriously, its time to entirely redo the EU. government. All the nations of the EU. should be given equal say. It seems now only a certain handful of nations are calling the shots.

Can you point to any other religion with a majority in favor of this view?
Or hazard a guess as to why you can't?

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Unless I'm thinking of Malaysia.


Indonesia does have lots of intolerant bigots and has had attacks on Christians and Shia Muslims. Suharto actually suppressed the radical elements as a threat to his powerbase and after he was gone they rose up again and there is an extreme element in the population with known Middle East links including at least 4 avowed anti-Western organisations. The real Police and Government has done little to stop them although there is an Anti-Terror squad and almost 600 suspects have been arrested on terrorism charges.

Syariah Law is applied in Malaysia as part of a dual Common Law-Sharia law system

Probably Malaysia then.

I was recalling from some Channel 4 reporting and I remembered that they went "over the border" to Thailand, which meant it couldn't really be anywhere but Malaysia.

Conserative Morality wrote:Would you like acts of violence from God, acts of violence condoned or ordered by God, or laws that mandate violence from God?

I can give you any of those.
And what about Buddhism? Or Jainism? Are they violent? Do their scriptures demand rape and holy war? No, obviously they don't. Islam is pretty much the only one that endorses those things.

A brief history of Buddhism will show you that it's no stranger to religiously motivated violence. Even easier considering the lack of a central holy text to beat heretics about the head with.

Even just one passage directly commanding violence against non-believers in the Torah or the Gospel; acts of violence by God himself (such as the plagues in Egypt) are irrelevant because they are part of neither the Old Law nor the New Law.

As for religiously motivated violence, it doesn't matter if someone uses religion to justify violence, it matters if that religion actually endorses violence. Islam does, most other religions do not.

El-Amin Caliphate wrote:Read in the name of your Lord who created. What I'm saying is read the Holy Qur'an with no presumtions. And do't tak every word literally.

The Qu'ran claims to be completely clear in it's wording, and the wording doesn't really change when translated from Arabic. To read the phrase "slay the idolaters wherever you find them" and interpret it to mean something peaceful is ludicrous, and no Islamic scholar has ever endorsed it. There's one and only one true interpretation of Islam, and it's Mohammad's. Mohammad's interpretation is completely in line with the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and other Jihadist organizations, because Mohammad himself endorsed and engaged in unprovoked violence (if you want proof, you can just read the Hadith, where there are numerous examples of Mohammad murdering people for doing something totally insignificant like make fun of him). There's no way to interpret any of it to mean anything other than exactly what it says. Mohammad and the Rightly Guided Caliphs all agreed that violence was mandated.

Define "belong in Europe". They don't not belong in Europe, but we certainly shouldn't endeavor to fill our countries with Muslims simply because they are Muslim.

Assuming this poll is accurate, I guess I can understand where they're coming from. Islamic terrorists are causing all sorts of trouble around the world right now, so it's no surprise they'd want to limit its influence in their country. I mean, I have my own fears, as unlikely as some of them are, of what could happen if this ideology continues to spread. Still, I hope the innocent Muslims don't suffer because of the terrorist ones

They are welcome to believe and think as they like. I'm simply proposing, along with AFD, that we ban their props.

Ban minarets, ban mosques, ban the hijab, ban the call to prayer, ban circumcision, ban faith schools, etc.

They can believe and say as they wish.
