Islam is taking over France? I suspect that’ll be news to the French. ---

> [@samusaran253](#): > > You sir fail. Nobody considers “Eurasia” to be a continent but uptight pseudoscientists. You are demonstrating a nearly unbelievable level of ignorance, I’m afraid. Europe is only a “continent” because the people who livede there 2300+ years ago used the Red, the Mediterranean, and the Black Seas to divide up the world as they saw it (with their limited knowledge of the Earth). Later Europeans clung to that division for cultural reasons that had nothing to do with geography as a science. There is nothing “pseudoscientific” about recognizing Eurasia as a single continent. (I say nearly unbelievable ignorance because it is very clear that you are very young, mking your ignorance more understandable.) ---

Quite so 🙂 But we did ban burqas recently, didn’t we ? Maybe it was a typo on **scamartistry** ’s part and he meant to write “Islamophobia is taking over France” which is closer to the mark. But that’s not quite true either. We just want these women from a desert land to make us feel like real men. ---

I’d love to see you defend scientologists in the same “pretending not to understand mannerism”. Why do you celebrate the fact that islam looks down on women and hate gay people?

Why do you celebrate the fact that islam looks down on women and hate gay people? Is that something we need more of, I think we have enough of that in the western world. Let’s call a spade a spade I don’t understand because you’re not making sense. You said Islam was taking over France. There is no evidence of this. You offered up as an example of this something extremely vaguely happening to Jews in Sweden, which has nothing to do with Muslims in France as far as I can tell. I’m also not sure how you’re reading anything into my posts suggesting that I am somehow “celebrating” Islam’s persecution of women and gays. I’m not saying that Islam is sunshine and rainbows; I’m not even saying that many Muslims do not hold abhorrent attitudes. What I am saying - and I trust I’m being clear here - is that Islam is not taking over Europe, and that you are wrong in saying that it is. ---
