These crazy muzzies have, through their violence and hatred, lost most of what there was of political support thourghout europe a nd NA. The muzzie hatred and murders have frankly left even the extreme left and fundie right the only supporters of their fucked up world views.
The UK for one lots of problems with institutional racism that led to a lot of civil unrest in the Afro-Caribbean community. Just one of the many instances
[QUOTE=jjimmI sometimes think that people have forgotten how to do math. Purely hypothetically, let’s imagine that there are 50 million violent Islamic fucknuts in the world. That’s a hell of a lot of assholes - yet there’s more than a billion Muslims in the world. The rioters and terrorists make up less than 5% of that community. The other 95% is not causing trouble.[/QUOTE]
The point is (as others here have noted) that the 95% have allowed the 5% to become the public face of Islam either through apathy or empathy. If 95% of a group’s population can’t overwhelm 5%, then they probably aren’t trying all that hard and so, yes, they are complicit in the actions of the minority.
Sure. The U.S. leaves the Arab nations to their fate and buys oil primarily from Canada, which dramatically increases production to match demand. Americans learn to tolerate four-dollar gas and gradually make a changeover to hybrid vehicles and nuclear power. The corrupt Middle-Eastern governments collapse, leading to a period of starvation and chaos, during which all educated Muslims flee to the West, and by the time anyone can successfully pacify them, it doesn’t matter because the first controlled fusion plants are on-line.
In the mean time, the decline in demand for oil caused by America’s partial withdrawal from the international market makes oil even cheaper for India and China, who gain another advantage in economic competition with the United States and Europe.
It’s the same kind of logic by which they decry the West for having attacked them and bombed their cities…quite justifiably, I agree…but then go ahead and kill foreign professionals who have come to try to put the place back together again. And it doesn’t make any difference if the victims in question are American or British, or if they come from a country whose government opposed the war.
Several years ago I posted on this Board that Western Society was in danger. Everybody called me a jackass, because it was so obvious that the Islamic Extremists couldn’t effect us.
And I was obviously a racist, or a worrywart, or a Drama Queen, or an Asshole.
And now, they’re killing people, & burning embassies. And Iran is building an Atom Bomb.
What do you mean, “Western Society is in danger”? If you mean that western society is vulnerable to being hurt by violence from radical extremists, or because of a nuclear threat from an enemy, well, duh. Of course it is. Western society was vulnerable because of the nuclear threat from its Soviet enemy, too.
If you mean that western society is in serious danger of being actually destroyed, then nah, I don’t buy it.
I’m afraid they’re going to perceive that there’s a cartoon gap developing, which could unfortunately lead to an escalation of bigger and more powerful cartoons and even someday, dare I say, the secret development of a doomsday cartoon.
