I never said that it was a simple issue that could be sorted with simple methods...Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostAnd if that person is under threat of deportation, is he still likely to answer 'yes, I'm a muslim'? If he's applying for a visa and knows he'll be turned down if he's a muslim, is he still likely to say 'yes, I'm a muslim'?
If on the other hand, he's a very moderate chappy who occasionally goes to the mosque and isn't very observant, but lives in a liberal society where he feels he has nothing to fear from speaking openly, is he likely to deny being a muslim?
You could ask millions of Europeans whether they are 'christians' and an awful lot of them would say 'yes I am'. Then you have the problem of explaining away all those empty churches.
I suppose you could then ask 'why are the mosques all full?' Well, firstly they aren't all full, and secondly, there are perhaps less mosques per thousand practising muslims than there are churches per thousand practising christians.Comment

ah i see, you heard it, so that must explain everything.Originally posted by Le Rosbif View PostI was in Toulouse when it happened.
I heard some of the riots shout "on va s'faire l'Eglise" = Let's put the church down.

I respectfully submit to you, sir, that you are several chips short of a McD's happy meal?Hard Brexit now!

Did you know..."Soap-dodging cheese-eating surrender-monkeys" doesn't translate well into French (according to Wiki) because the rules of French syntax do not allow such ready formation of nouns by noun stem compounding.

Or maybe because leftists have been telling for them decades that the reason for their failure is the bad racist, ex colonist whiteman?Originally posted by Mich the Tester View Post...who've spent their lives being told they're useless barbarians and are getting a bit sick of it?
They went to the same school as other children, got the same education, chances etc... They have the French nationality.

I really think you're looking at a couple of incidents in a couple of large cities. There are muslims living all over France; in the cities you see the typical problems of inner city poverty, which involve all sorts of nastiness. Outside the cities you'll come across peaceful, easy going middle class 'muslims' who don't riot at all. In fact, I'd be interested in seeing figures showing what proportion of French 'muslims', or shall we say what proportion of French residents who call themselves muslims, actually took part in the riots.
Remember also that France has quite a tradition for riots; it's not as if the muslims were doing something that French christians and non-believers have never done. Not to say they were right, but why so much attention for rioting muslims when French students, government workers and farmers have quite a reputation for rioting too?Last edited by Mich the Tester; 17 June 2009, 09:27.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

I thought France was the land of rationalism and Descartes, yet you seem to argue like a hysterical old fish-wife.
Not a grad of the grand ecoles, clearly.

Hard Brexit now!

You'd be surprised how much small and medium towns are actually crippled by crime commited by young (French) muslims.
The figures is confirmed by the percentage of muslims in prison.Comment
