A big part of the problem is, too many in the Islamic world see no separation between the religious and the political spheres.

Some have a theory on why that's so.

I'd greatly appreciate it if the members of Generation Pussy wouldn't talk to me anymore or use any of my posts in their quotes. Thank you very much. Buh-bye.

No problem, not much reason for me to bother with what basically amounts to little more than stereotypical common white trash; boilerplate racist; dime-a-dozen bigot. Again, take care, but try to at least let someone know before you inevitably car bomb a reserve.

You should retract that post it's way over the line.

This whole topic is "over the line!" People say stuff they shouldn't. What's new?

What's new is that this hate fest has been allowed to continue this long with no ramifications for the verbal assaults people are dishing out like candy and BTW that statement wasn't just people saying stuff it was an accusation about being a terrorist which moves it from the old "you're an asshole" into a whole new category.

The Usual Response to Trump Utterance
1. Stuned silence, hurt beebers.
2. Outrage, denial, airing of grievances.
3. Turns out he’s right, matter dropped.

Trump's latest statement is that more UK Muslims have joined ISIS than have joined the UK armed forces. There's a lot of bitching and bedwetting going on over the statement yet a casual glance over several articles in the UK media notes that there's not one single refutation of the claim.

Not one.

I imagine that Trump has the hard numbers on this and while it butthurts the beebers it's likely based on a statistically accurate truth. There may be some substance for the claim as I poke around the net. The Guardian had this tidbit running today:

$1:

According to a freedom of information request to the Ministry of Defence from 2014, there are 640 Muslims in the armed forces: 550 in the army, 40 in the navy and 50 in the air force.

A BBC article from last month (before Trump said anything about it) substantiates Trump's statement:

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-32026985

$1:

At least 700 people from the UK have travelled to support or fight for jihadist organisations in Syria and Iraq, British police say.

So here we go again. Trump says something that the PC crowd doesn't want said, they get butthurt and outraged, and in about 24-48 hours when everyone realizes that Trump was right the PC crowd will pretend that the whole episode never took place.

Poll the BBC told you about... and the one they didn't: Petition calling on immigration to the UK to be stopped until ISIS is defeated has almost as many signatures as one calling for Trump to be barred

I didn't look, as I usually find your links to be of little use, but one question: are these two things(barring Trump and wanting immigration stopped until the defeat of ISIS) mutually exclusive?

1. His link was to the Daily Mail and it references the BBC. Not sure why you'd dismiss either source just because of who cited them.

2. The two polls/petitions essentially underline a pretty even split in at least the fringe politics of the UK.

Mr Trump is speaking out to protect our close Allies the American people, he cares passionately about his Country and vets as we do our own. The solution to this crisis is to build and create new borders as we did after WW2. You combine forces with Russia, Germany, France, USA, Australia, Canada and all other allies who want to be involved.

Freedom of speech is only for lefties. We are all being told and made to think and act a certain way, if you do not then you will be labeled a rac ist, big ot, izlameophobe, etc. You'll also fail to get your comments to appear without disguising them and if you do get your comment through and a leftie doesn't like it they will report you and get you banned like I have been over 515 times on here.

I've thought about it, and I refuse. Wouldn't want to be a pussy, after all.

Damn if I can't argue with that!
