Things like this make my inner German have thoughts I don't enjoy having. Eventually the protesters in that video will get what they're begging for, and they'll lose. The sad part is it's going to require us to be more barbaric than they are to finish the job in any way that doesn't need re-doing in 10 years. Where is Ender when you need him?

They won't like the US when we're angry. |

Poverty breeds openness to extremism no matter the religion.
Wealth breeds bleeding heart ignorance. Muslims can be awesome regular joes just like any other religion. When you bring generationally impoverished extremists into your country expect them to act like generationally impoverished extremists who fall to their religions poverty pimps and see injustice in the most basic of law enforcement procedures. |

Luton is a dump. Well it is now, that's for sure. Was it that way 50 years ago when actual Brits lived there? As I understand it... It was a sleepy hollow. Then, it was turned into a huge council housing compound to move poor people out of London when previously working class/poor areas of London joined the skyrocketing London real estate appreciation. |

I continue to find it ironic that there are several Muslim countries that ban the veil, yet to do so in the west would be regarded as hostile to "Islam." Why we remain afraid to call bullshit in the bullshit, perplexes me. I swear, I see more Ninja women walking around Brussels or Munich than I do Istanbul. We cater to the very elements other countries run out. It might have been cool with the Puritans, history-wise, but it's getting out of hand with this new crowd. |

People want to find their roots, and the crazies are actively recruiting, and appealing to that emotion. See also: the IRA thing in the '70s. When an actual effective program to screen the Muslim population is in place - like what the NYPD had - it gets exposed and the screams of racism echo through the streets. Like in most issues, nobody is allowing room for sanity. Liberals accept all of the derpiest derp as simply "Islam" and decry attempts to limit it as religious discrimination. Conservatives often agree with the former, and only disagree with the latter. The few places I have seen sane and effective policies against Islamist crazies have been in majority Muslim countries. Liberals are unwilling or afraid to draw a line, Conservatives deny there is a line. I guess that is another parallel with the Mexican immigrant thing - sane policies of work visas and enforcement are impossible as long as there is political hay to be made. |

I've never made any claims it was black/white in Pakistan. What I've always said about Pakistan is that it's a country at war with itself. Pakistan government was generally OK with the Taliban in Afghanistan - and it's really no surprise the Afghan Taliban has apparently come out against this latest attack. Alas, now they are coming to grips with a very serious issue domestically, and those who don't want it are going to have a fight. Some here would deny there is any fight, and I seriously wonder if they comprehend that the children just killed were probably all Muslim. What I have done is posted pictures of Catholic Churches in countries where the GD experts have insisted it was illegal to be Christian, pointed out examples of majority Muslim countries where Islamist political parties received less support than Right Sector in Ukraine, etc. This really, really pisses some people off, as broad brushes are best brushes. They won't rest until their superior logic has convinced every Muslim currently fighting this terrorist epidemic comes to the conclusion that they are wrongly practicing their faith, embrace the Jihadist derp, and declare war on the Westerner Infidels. |

The sad part is it's going to require us to be more barbaric than they are to finish the job in any way that doesn't need re-doing in 10 years. Where is Ender when you need him? Your natural optimism is leading you to an unlikely conclusion. The most likely turn of events is; we do nothing: they win. We have a tendency to let people push us until we're really really angry. They won't like the US when we're angry. yah...they forget that this is a repetition of the past, and look how they fared then. Western civilization is super efficient at killing massive numbers of people. We just don't like to do it until forced to. Then, woe unto those who have pushed that far. |

Quoted:
There's a lot of that, identity is a funny thing. People want to find their roots, and the crazies are actively recruiting, and appealing to that emotion. See also: the IRA thing in the '70s. When an actual effective program to screen the Muslim population is in place - like what the NYPD had - it gets exposed and the screams of racism echo through the streets. Like in most issues, nobody is allowing room for sanity. Liberals accept all of the derpiest derp as simply "Islam" and decry attempts to limit it as religious discrimination. Conservatives often agree with the former, and only disagree with the latter. The few places I have seen sane and effective policies against Islamist crazies have been in majority Muslim countries. Liberals are unwilling or afraid to draw a line, Conservatives deny there is a line. I guess that is another parallel with the Mexican immigrant thing - sane policies of work visas and enforcement are impossible as long as there is political hay to be made.

Good post. The appeal of ISIS is to middle class established Muslims who are very "Westernized" by prior objective standards, not just Islamic Rage Boy. Its a fascinating dynamic. Similar to Bolshevism in the 1920s. I see it as kind of a "fight club" dynamic - lending meaning to an otherwise meaningless drudgery. The "fight club" dynamic is no doubt part of it, but I think there is more. My experience with Mexican Americans is that first Gen and illegals are just glad to be here. The ones who join la raza (or voice similar resentment of the US) have generally been here 2 or more generations. There's a lot of that, identity is a funny thing.

Why would we want to import these problems(in red), and a culture that has been antagonistic towards the west for 1300 years? The world is full of people that are partially westernized, or share complimentary cultural traits, and our unemployment is still high. |

In case you haven't been paying attention, we already are importing those problems. What we aren't importing is the solutions that have proven effective at dealing with them. |

Quoted:
I have little sympathy for any European country dumb enough to let large numbers of muslims immigrate into their country when they know full well that the muslims WILL NOT assimilate into their mainstream culture and will only cause big time problems of all sorts. Sort of like another country I know that has opened its southern border wide open under the leadership of its marxist-socialist president. So, are you ready for Spanish to become a second official language? It will happen just as soon as they have the numbers. So, are you ready for total democratic control of the presidency, congress and supreme court? It will happen just as soon as they have the numbers. And the numbers are changing in their favor every single day. Viva la Free Shit Army! View Quote Islamic nut cases are flooding into this country as well. |

They won't rest until their superior logic has convinced every Muslim currently fighting this terrorist epidemic comes to the conclusion that they are wrongly practicing their faith, embrace the Jihadist derp, and declare war on the Westerner Infidels.
