Christopher Caldwell: What is Europe's problem with Islam?

[CatherineDeLancret]

Multiculturalism, diversity, tolerance call it what you will but it all equals one thing... Genocide of Europeans.

[ip9991]

4 people are pakistani))

[Alexbadita]

this isnt about color...this is about oppression...everyone is free to believe and practice what you want,, and this is comming from a person whos agnostic...

but dont force it on anyone and dont try to change or take over ... 

[arishokful]

We need to band together, all white people no matter what tribe your ancestors are from. To stop this NOW

[terrygand]

Islam is certainly not a religion; it is a `theo-political` ideology of Hate, just read the Quran for yourself. It is totally without any `true` spirituality. Islam-religion of peace? I do not think so. It is not just Jews that Muslims are told to hate; all infidels(Non muslims),Must `live` as "Dimmies" & pay a tax called `jazya`, if you do not accept this `status` you can be killed. We must "Vigorously" oppose any demands from this ideology or we will be committing `cultural suicide`! Kurwa!

[Rajsad1]

a friend of mine being muslims once stated and was very serius he stated: ''muslims are the most racist people of the world''(my opinion jews are but nvm.)

[theshadowbehindme]

The usa is a country full of immigrants. In Europe every country has its own customs, traditions, language and major ethnic group . And then we are not even speaking of our bloody history and thats the whole point to the EU to prevent a war in Europe.

[smileykermit]

The problem is that Muslims do not assimilate and never have assimilated. The very nature of Islam is antithetical to the European's notions of free speech, representative government, and social and sexual mores. He should be asking another question... Why can't Muslims assimilate? Why is there trouble everywhere on the globe where you have a sizable Muslim population? And, last of all, is such a thing as "Eurabia" good for Europeans?

[elementskaterxl]

It says in the Bible that the Ishmaelits (the early arabs) lived in hostility against their neighbors. So does this surprise you?

[GadgetGearup]

WOW THE WORST IMMIGRANTS IN EUROPE IS EUROPEANS WHEN SOMEONE FROM FOR EXAMPLE MOVES FROM GERMANY TO DENMARK THEY WOULD BE CAUSEING TWICE AS MUCH TROUBBLE AS SOMEONE FROM THE MIDDEL EAST WOULD

[GadgetGearup]

@GadgetGearup Sorry for caps

[DreamFreedom1]

superslave your name suits you very well, my congratulations for that: slave to an ideology.

[ednoisin]

caldwell is clearly articulating american hegemony as inwardly viewed by pat buchanan, william buckley, pat ropbertson, and the rest of american evangelical neo-conservatives hoping to preserve white domination of the globe. Europe's inability to fully embrace the u.s. soul of the tea party is weakening the billy graham-francis shaeffer's agenda of maintaining westernized-white supremacy behind the mask of judeo-christian farce & facade. May YHWH be praised for that! Shalom,

[saaust1]

Muslims are NOT peaceful people. If they can't take over a country with war they will take over with populating. This is not good. I feel sorry for my childrens children because we have blind people running our countries. This world will is changing if we don't do anything. Don't be blinded do your own research. This guys is giving you this soft picture, He is blind as well.

[superslave750]

@saaust1 How many brain cells did you use to conclude that way? 4? 5?

An generalization argument like "Muslims are NOT peaceful people" is as dumb as "All Americans are fat people" or "All Germans are Nazis".

People like you are the real threat to all nations of this world. People like you are the reason why we can't have peace on this planet.

[saaust1]

@superslave750. You are a blind and a fool. Let me know if you change your mind when a family member or friend is blown up or attacked. Not all Muslims are terrorists BUT all terrorists are Muslims. Now you hop on a plane fly to a Muslim country and stand on a street corner and hold up a Bible and say that you are a Christian and see what will happen to little you. See the freedom of speech you will have. So off you go and report back here.No wait you will be in Jail fool write to us from there

[saaust1]

@saaust1 ..... If you want to know the really truth go to your video shop and hire the doco The Third Jihad. You will be shocked .It's time the free world wakes UP.

[iGreatPlan]

"Since [Islam's] arrival in Europe a half a century ago" Had to laugh at that one.. Europe's relationship with Islam dates back to the earliest teachings of the religion itself.

[hop208]

@iGreatPlan I'm pretty sure he meant the large scale immigration of Muslims from former colonies to Europe 50 years ago.

[superslave750]

@iGreatPlan LOL.

Looks like these morons never heard the name "Ottoman Empire"

I bet some of these kids (I assume them to be kids because these comments can't come out of a mature mind) can't show their own country on a world map.

[net0dotcom]

I've been to Europe three times and thoroughly enjoyed it. I believe as do most that the Europeans have the best sights and culture. It is a shame that religiously the new generations slack there and when they stray they will fall. Europeans thrived as long as they followed the only living God, the father of Christ. Christians are not supposed to just practice TOLERANCE. It is time "to sell your coat to buy a sword." You cannot multiply if you are dead.

[Jinmane]

Yes, that's just what we need, an imaginary friend whom we can rely on to justify going to war.

[DohcVtecTurbo]

fackn Nazi

omg thats my name

[gjufool]

Have you read his article "The Pink Recovery" in Time Magazine (Aug. 24th, 2009)? It's a fine example of blind, anti-male bigotry and utter absence of depth. (When husbands loose their jobs, doesn't that put a strain on their working wives, for instance?)

He's a first-class MANGINA.

[ElvenDane]

Thank you for speaking the truth :-)

[yahazif]

The difference between Latin immigrants and Muslim immigrants is that Muslims are trouble makers. This is a simple and obvious fact. It is something that the rest of the world has known for centuries but it is new to the West so Westerners can't accept it. The Western mind set is hung up on the notion that all people and all cultures are basically good. But Islam is proof to the contrary. Muslims move into countries and cause trouble. We see it over and over throughout the world and over time.

[ElvenDane]

Yes, you are right - we are so fed up with them here.

They can't bring up their children properly, and teach them that Danish women are "whores", because they don't wear hadscarfs or viels and walk in the streets

on their own and make their own decissions etc. And we are alle "dirty infidels" to them, and they commit lots of serious crimes - even rapes, gang rapes (!) and honour killings - as well as encouraging their children to throw stones at police, ambulance crews and firemen.

[ElvenDane]

"veils", that is ;-)

Also they in many cases show nothing but contempt for our laws, rules, values and culture, but even so they demand respect all the time and ask for special treatment with respect to muslim swimming hours, muslim dressing rooms and even muslim prayer rooms in places, where we are not used to having such things.

You see - here religion is a private matter that you don't bring to your work place, school and uni etc.

[ElvenDane]

Guess they should just have stayed at home, if they can't accept that ;-)

Some of them behave very badly in hospitals, treating the staff there as their personal servants and making a big fuss about the smallest issues - and having far too many and very noisy visitors, often outside normal visitation hours.

Some have even been angry that there are no muslim toilets ( ie. holes in the ground :-) ) in the hospitals, and then done their business on the floor in protest..

[ElvenDane]

Many of these ungrateful people even go

back on holiday in the countries they are supposed to have fled from - of course while claiming social welfare benefits :-)

But our naive and halo polishing PC polticians, "experts" and the socalled "elite" still expect us to be tolerant and open towards such badly behaved and usually uninvited guests :-)

[yahazif]

All those things you mentioned, the violence, crime, demands for special treatment are all ways that Islam exerts influence over other societies. It's the same story in India, Thailand, Philippines, Africa, even China and Russia. Anywhere the Muslims are in large numbers they cause social disturbance and in that way gain control of the political discourse. Europe especially needs to understand what the Muslims are doing. They are not in Europe to become Europeans. They are in Europe to take over

[ElvenDane]

Yes, so I hear from friends and sources around Europe. Yes, but I think most people here in Scandinavia, England and Netherlands + a few more a finally waking up to reality.

We will need to start making very serious demands from immigrants in the future

about accepting democracy, laws, rules

and culture in our societies from day one.

There are many other people we can take in and easily accept instead of these most difficult and ever demanding people. They don't have to be muslims :-)

[ElvenDane]

A big difference between Europe on one side and US / Canada on the other side is that the latters have always been very selective - mainly taking the educated

and more civlised - whereas we generally got the worst, the most demanding and the most fanatical refugees ( people who were wanted back for being islamic extremists !). But our naive politicians never bothered looking into whom and what they were allowing to enter - and they also forgot to ask their peoples.

[ElvenDane]

"back home" , that is.

+ they have in their "wisdom" allowed the worst islamic hate preachers to come and fire these muslim fanatics even more up against their unsuspecting and unwilling hosts.

[yahazif]

"There are many other people we can take in and easily accept instead of these most difficult and ever demanding people."

You are very right. immigrants from Indian, Philipines, China, South American are fine people and never cause the problems we see with the Muslims.

People are quick to call me "racist" and "anti-immigrant" but this is not true. The problem is not race. The problem is not immigration. The problem is Islam. Islam is a hateful religion that causes problems everywhere.

[prabavaguru]

ISLAM Sucks My Penis

[superslave750]

@prabavaguru Careful about that, you might have it bitten off.

[businesscoutinho]

@yahazif Man, how I understand you! Finally someone who shares my views!

[superslave750]

@yahazif I hope you are a teenager. If you really think this way as an adult, then all I can say is I feel sorry for you and people around you.

[prabavaguru]

@superslave750 AM an adult . i would like to fuck ur mom according to Quran. yes Islam permits anal sex . i can prove u that. common lets debate here. i want 2 tell every 1 that ur Book[Quran] is a SHit

[firethower99]

@yahazif I couldn't agree with you more. Islam is literally destroying societies in every part of the world. I want nothing to do with Islam. It's a hateful, intolerant religion and it gets innocent people killed.

[TheAmbiorixXx]

@yahazif you are very right with what you say, critisising islam has nothign to do with rascism since no "race" is excempt from becoming muslim, the problm is a different in approach and the soil such dedication is stem from. wich does have large implications and a manieth a precedent. Self criticism is never a bad thing , a thing i often find extremely lacking in muslims !

[superslave750]

@yahazif The Europe will fall because of narrow minded people like you, not Islam or any other religion.

The paranoias, racist approach and false generalizations are the only threat against Europe. Looks like some of you have not learned anything from the WW2.

Racist ideas, putting hateful thoughts into minds of people will not save anyone.
