Multiculturalism

In Message 1109 you said, "Slavery and segregation were not ended in the south by building more schools."To your mind, what were they ended by? And would the same approach be applicable to todays problems (moving people away from backwardness and extremism)?

Really?

"NOP Poll of British Muslims" from UK Polling Report:

​

Asked if they would prefer to live under Sharia law or British law, 30% said Sharia while 54% preferred British law. I mentioned in my comments on an earlier ICM poll Sharia law does not necessarily equate to the hand-chopping, adulterer-stoning version in the tabloid press, Western countries like Canada have in the past allowed the use of Sharia law under limited circumstances for things like inheritance law, so it was then impossible to tell exactly what people were supporting. In contrast NOP specifically stated in their poll Sharia law, as practiced in such countries as Saudi Arabia and Iran . . .

That's 30% who specifically want to turn Britain into Saudi Arabia. Do you think 30% of non-Muslim Brits want to turn your country into Saudi Arabia? Except that you wouldn't:

"How Are Young Evangelicals Responding to Homosexuality?" from Charisma News:

​

A late 2012 Lifeway Research study showed that 73 percent of "born-again, evangelical, or fundamentalist" Christians believe homosexual conduct is sinful.

Still a ways off from the mainstream, but not to the same level as British Muslims. And Christianity, especially fundamentalist Christianity, is not treated the same way by Multiculturalism on account of being considered neither a minority nor non-Western. Of course complying with laws isn't the same as sharing our values, which was your initial claim. Such questions are useless. I'm sure if you asked many Americans whether they like ACA, they would say no. But if you ask them about specific aspects of the act, they would probably agree with most of them. (In fact, I think such surveys have been done with exactly those results.)You have to ask specific questions about specific values. And when you do, you find that a very large proportion of Western Muslims hold beliefs and opinions completely antithetical to the principles that underpin our free, prosperous, and happy societies.Multiculturalism has failed to assimilate non-Westerners into Western culture (it's not just Muslims). And that failure has had disastrous consequences. I don't think you'd like it.Edited by Jon, : URLEdited by Jon, : Grammar

In short: force. Force is always applicable.

So what?

So you're prepared to force people to assimilate? And sticking with the slavery example, I presume you mean armed force?

Interesting. I guess I can finally agree with you on something substantial.

How do you protect individuals and their rights rights from others who would take them away?Ask nicely?

Just what rights are you claiming to have lost through multi-culturalism? I suspect that answer to be something close to zero.Of course if you are a totalitarian lunatic (your term, not mine) who thinks that not having to dial one to speak in English or that having other people eat turkey on thanksgiving is one of his God given rights then you are going to see every group of immigrants of as some type of threat to your well being.

What rights have you lost?
Just give one example.

None yet, but we know what we stand to lose if Islam gets a hold in the nation.

What is your solution? Time to shit or get off the pot.

Just how could Islam get hold of the US?Can you even think of a way?

Faith has put her money where her mouth is. Part of her 100 dollar bet with Dr Adequate is that Islam will get a hold in the nation by Dec 19, 2019.

But so far no one has shown how Islam can get hold of the US.Can anyone even think of a way?

Just so you know: You attributed jar's post to me.The answer is, by continuing to settle in the US. continuing to push for more rights to their own laws, aided and abetted by Political Correctness, that's how they could get a hold in the US. It's how they got a hold in Europe after all, where they are now wreaking havoc wherever they have the opportunity due to their numbers.By the way, was my bet with Dr. A specific about Islam? I thought it was more general about a variety of things that could bring down the nation.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.
