Don't show it to me, take it directly to Mrs. Merkel and bring her response in return.
Especially the matter of granting full access for an Islamic state to their lands, while they know well how many times had that nation tried to conquer entire Europe.

While I can't comment over his quoted number of total battles fought (and frankly doubt his calculation), he is way mistaken in defining jihad's goal as "enslavement" of the non-believers.

You're possibly right - they're more interested in slaughtering or converting than taking slaves.

Am I the only one who thinks the title of this thread is off color and insensitive?
You may be, off color to me would be a title like "Nice Truck Does Mean Things." I feel, and I may be out of the norm, the title is just inarticulately trying to give scale or emphasis to the act. I don't find it insensitive at all.

That's right! That's size discrimination, you cis white shitlord!

It was clearly a "beautiful vehicle of size" inadvertently causing damage because racist celebrators were exerting their privilege by forcing themselves into ze/zer's path. The vehicle was innocent due to its marginalized status and was empowering itself over its oppressors. Punching up is liberation, punching down is oppression.

...and that's without even discussing the driver!

Isn't the logic and language of 'progressives' just super-awesome? :awe::thumbsup:

You don't understand how these jokes work, so I'll explain for your benefit. Ponder 4chan for example, which used to have a few smart people pretending to be stupid for laughs, and then after they left, it's just morons repeating stupidity.

When a smart fellow first sees a sjw and mocks them thusly, it's marginally amusing. But when someone like you keeps telling it for the umpteenth time without any sjws ever present it's really more depressing than anything.

Sort of screws with the whole "instant conversion/distraught divorcee" narrative too.

We are now at the level of multiple attacks per week. It is getting fucking ridiculous. There is going to be an extremely violent right wing reaction in Western countries. Count on it. Sadly this is EXACTLY what the the Islamists want.... to generate animosity between Westerners and ALL Muslims. It is an extremely effective tactic.

It will work because it plays on the same fears they use to control their countries.

This is called the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.
https://www.damninteresting.com/the-baader-meinhof-phenomenon/

Basically something atypical happens, and people start seeing whatever tangentially related things as a trend. Like some reactionary nutcase stabbing people as the same kind of "islamist terror" as a planned attack as whatever other incident involving a muslim. Perhaps next week if sensational news subsides they can report on arab-looking man snatching a purse.

I have a better idea, how about you wrap your head around the fact that the muslim world is more than Sa'udi Arabia, and that the vast majority of muslims on this planet are not Wahabi. Are you aware that Qatar is a Wahabi state as well? That you can take your bible there, that they have a christian church in Doha? This may shock you but not every muslim country has a their own version of the Mutawa'een. I lived in Qatar for years and was always treated with respect and hospitality. A far cry from my years among the hyper-religious evangelicals in the Bible Belt, and I'm an American from a WASP background!

Yeah those Iraqis have sure done a number on Detroit. Cleaning the place up, opening businesses, sending their kids to secular or christian schools...cats and dogs, living together. Chaos!

Even more on Qatar.

Homosexual acts are punished by imprisonment and caning. Homosexual acts between Muslims is the death penalty.

In 1995 an American citizen visiting Qatar was sentenced to six months in prison and 90 lashes for homosexual activity.[3]

Slave labor is alive and flourishing in Qatar.

Despite five years of growing criticism, Fifa and the Qatari authorities have been accused of ongoing indifference towards systemic abuse and “appalling treatment” of migrant workers working on stadiums that will host the 2022 World Cup.

A damning new report by Amnesty International, which interviewed 132 contractors working on refurbishing the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha and a further 102 landscapers who work in the Aspire Zone sports complex that surrounds it, claimed that they all reported human rights abuses of one kind or another.


The findings will prove controversial because Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy has made ensuring minimum standards are met on World Cup stadium projects a priority in the wake of widespread criticism of the broader conditions in which migrant labourers, who make up more than 90% of Qatar’s 2.1m population, live and work.

For the first time, Amnesty said it had definitively identified mistreatment and abuses on a World Cup stadium site rather than on infrastructure projects that underpin Qatar’s ambitious 2030 Vision, of which the football tournament has become an integral part.

It said that workers refurbishing the Khalifa stadium, scheduled to host one of the World Cup semi-finals in 2022, reported they were forced to live in squalid accommodation, appeared to pay huge recruitment fees, and have had wages withheld and passports confiscated. Amnesty conducted the interviews during three visits over the course of a year from February 2015.

Qatari law prohibits retention of passports, delayed payment of wages or deceptive recruitment (where workers are promised a certain wage in their country of origin only to be paid less when they arrive). But Amnesty found evidence that all of those practices remained widespread during the period in question.

Frankly it's not as if westerners are terribly concerned about life quality of folks making their material goods or picking their fruit, except maybe for whatever political end.

It's mostly the expendable lower classes in these countries which are treated badly, so westerners usually have little to worry about.

...and gays... don't forget how expendable they are over there.

About the slaves in Qatar, the treatment here in the west is a paradise compared to the slaves working there who CANNOT leave. There is a reason that Amnesty International is involved.

Why are you apologizing for this? Qatar is an obscenely wealthy country. They have no need to treat the imported poor as animals. Would you tolerate this shit in America?

I'm just pointing out the reality of how life works. People with some power shit on those below them. That's why it makes sense to get in with the former. Religious cohesion was one of the earlier tools to do so.
