Drowsy Emperor

The shocking thing is this widespread belief that Canadians are nice and civilized and Americans are barbarians, while Canada has tagged along for every other US war, its foreign policy consisting mostly of nodding when US officials are speaking. If I was an American, I'd practically be offended that Canada gets a free pass for everything.

Immigrants are not to blame for Norway's immigration policy. Like most "far right" individuals, he piles the blame on "cultural marxism", or what's it really is - the current European identity and the people creating it. It does not take a genius to realize that the current policy of deconstructing the national identity, destroying religion and creeping extreme capitalism (slowly strangling worker rights and welfare as per the American model) is a dead end street for a continent that has known better, and should know better. If Europe becomes like the USA, it might as well not exist.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/17/serbian-police-arrest-man-with-syrian-passport-matching-paris-attackers When Serbia has a better idea of who is crossing its borders than the EU you know that things have gone down the drain.

France also embodies one of the worst colonial powers, a legacy they carry on to this day - if you don't believe me look at the smoking hole where Lybia used to be. I'm outspoken against muslim immigration and multiculturalism on this forum, but turning a blind eye to the reality of one of the root causes for what happened in Paris serves no one. I presume the people of France are against these wars but until they realize their politicians are painting a target on them with their actions, there is no way this is going to be set straight.

Says the man in whose country less 1.5% of the population practices Islam. Having lived in southern Africa I can attest that Islam is about as relevant in that region as snowshoes are in the Sahara. You never let up with your passive-aggressive bull**** do you?

But they're not going to set their own government building on fire for participating in the disintegration of Syria? You know, the greatest irony here is that ISIS is mostly ex Saddam's regular Iraqi army that the US left without a job after wrecking Iraq. You don't see the wisdom of leaving trained soldiers jobless in a ruin of a state questioned on CNN these days.

Well StB and I am sure that KGB said the bolded thing the whole time as well I am sorry to tell that, but I really do not know, if I should laugh or facepalm about your naivity. Infinite power corrupts infinitely, and mass surveillance of your own citizens is a pavement made out of sweet talks and fearmongering into the acquiring infinite power... The real problem with using mass surveillance to fight terrorism is that the very idea hinges on an insanely paranoid projection regarding the number of domestic terrorists. With the population of the US, if there aren't tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands of terrorists working on domestic soil, the number of false positives you get is certain to drown out any relevant information you could possibly gather. "LOOK AT WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!" When you sound like an abuser in search of excuses, maybe it's time for some introspection, eh? When you're setting the stage for something horrible, maybe its not appropriate to be surprised when it happens?

Politicians are all dip****s, but anything is better than the anti-nationalist self-destructive european left. If Europe goes back down the road of fascism, it will be the pseudo-left's uncompromising attitude that pushed people into it. To create a truly multicultural, tolerant society, you have to be tolerant yourself. People can't be forced to like or accept anyone, whether its Pride parades or muslims. It must happen organically, (the way you get to know a foreigner or someone different than you, realize that he's a good person and remain friends with him/her for years to come) or not at all - and definitely not as a social engineering project devised in Brussels or Washington. European parties united to ostracize and cut off any (truly) conservative (often christian) political parties from politics. The amount of hate piled one anyone expressing these views (especially on universities), even in their most moderate form is incredible, especially for societies that have actually sprung out of these roots. Its no surprise that they're boomeranging back in a harsher form than necessary because of all the repression.

Yes, if these Mosques are allowing Hate Speech then you need to close them down...harsh but fairSorry, but closing mosques, which serves to all of muslims, instead of bringing to justice the radical imams, which are spreading the hatespeach is retarded and will bring more death upon French, because it will be used only for propaganda of ISIS and their likes. It will solve nothing. And I suppose you know, in the ghettos of Paris, in small mosques where everyone knows everyone else, when they're preaching in arabic - which one of them is spreading hate and which isn't? What do you think, that they're that stupid?

I think the "for Syria" cry, of one of them, before he blew himself up explained more or less everything. Frankly, as a Serbian I felt more at home in Slovakia than in any of the nearby countries I've been in (Austria, Czech republic, Hungary). I'm sure you know what the current political situation is, but when all is said and done, Slovakia doesn't have a real problem and you should be glad that that's the way it is. And you should be happy that your prime minister is smarter than Merkel, Hollande, Vucic and the rest of them put together. Down the line, he is doing you a favor.

Interesting. And how exactly the west is planning to remove him? Assassination? Nah, making life so hard for regular russians, due to various embargos, that they would remove him from power themselves. Well, as a russian, i can only thank the west for that. They're doing something useful for a change. Can't wait when he's finally gone. Ah you're one of those types. That explains everything.

If the west wasn't so obsessed with removing Putin and puttin' another Yeltsin in charge of Russia, a lot of this would have never come to pass and they'd have an ally instead of an enemy. But then, if the foreign policy of Germany and France is going to be decided in Washington, then they deserve no better than what's coming to them.

@ BruceVC Please don't tell me how I feel and refrain from commenting on anything on I write if at all possible.

Please tell me more what would happen in my own country, because i obviously don't know anything about it. If you think that Chechnya achieving independence under the guise of Islamic liberation would have had no effect on other homogenous islamic regions then you have no idea how politics work, and those principles apply not only to Russia, but anywhere else.

Exactly nothing. Political aptitude test score: 0.

And what you're talking about has nothing to do with Islam but Chechnya, and the fact that it's ruled pretty much by a bunch of bandits, by people who faught against Russia. But sure, f it. Let's oversimplify everything and blame Islam for the incredibly complex issues happening around the world right now. That will surely solve every problem. You must be especially short sighted. What do you think would have happened in other Russian islamic regions if Chechens weren't beaten down? Its nice to sit in Moscow and preach equality and world peace, but go to Sarajevo, or Pristina or any other muslim ****hole and we'll see how your rights fare. I could do the same from Belgrade, but then I'd have to ignore the fact that it took us three hundred years to throw the pests out and even that didn't save us from two wars with them in the last thirty years.

The EU is not really tolerant. As ktchong explained on page 2, EU tolerance is an extremely selective thing - and that can easily be proven with their approach to immigration. While asians and people from white christian orthodox regions of Europe, aka the non-catholic Slavs have to jump through many hoops to successfully immigrate, muslims get a free pass, even though a cursory examination of the criminality and risks associated with the former shows that they're are demonstrably lower than those coming from muslim immigrants. Then there is the matter of internal tolerance. If you speak out against the Pride parade, multi-culti society, you're immediately branded a far right zombie Hitler, your career is destroyed and efforts are made to completely shut you out of your own society. Down the line you'll be punished more harshly for speaking than someone else is for being an outright criminal. All is not well in the EU, but, as they say - the fish rots from the head. In that respect its not really the muslims who are to blame.

If you think moderate muslims are going to shed a tear over people getting blown up in France, then you're an idiot. After decades of interventions and wars, often caused by the West, they have just as large a chip on their shoulder as ISIS fighters. On any muslim TV station/newspaper, the order of blame for anything is as follows: Zionists, USA and EU crusaders. They literally have no other cultural enemies, and every muslim grows up in a culture where this is "common knowledge". Whether its actually true or not is not important, beliefs trump truth anyway. What remains is for the muslim individual to care or not to care about these things, or to do or not do anything them. Naturally most aren't going to do anything about it, but that doesn't mean that they think like you or tolerate your presence more than they must. Everyone who thinks that all of them are going to turn into starbucks drinking, iphone totting, gay friendly "progressive" europeans is a hopeless ideologue or a moron. ... Always this same naivete: "its not all muslims, its just the bad ones!", as if there is any real difference or way to tell them apart on the streets of Paris, London, Berlin or Belgrade until you get blown to bits. The bottom line is really simple, you either live with the risk or remove the source and the risk along with it. If your society can't function without cheap labor from muslim countries... well then, it sucks to be you.

Also, the west did turn Syria from a functioning state into a ruin. How surprising is it exactly that some Syrians would like to see USA, France or UK punished for it, even if it cost them their lives? And can you blame them? Death toll of the Syrian civil war is now around 220 000 people. Lets not forget that this whole agony started because the US wanted to depose Syria's legitimate government. If it didn't, we wouldn't be here today, wondering if some ISIS prick is going to blow us up while we're picking out potatoes in the supermarket.

Does that even need to be proven at this point? Its not like there's a central register of ISIS fighters. All they have to do is change clothes, rip up their passport and stand in line to get asylum. To think they wouldn't use stupid, self-destructive European policies for an easy way to get wherever they want to go is beyond naive.

Your point? Are you sure? Because i remember hearing that more people die in US from right-wing terrorism than from Islamic one... First of all, there are very few muslims in USA. Second, the USA is far away, its an efficient police state, its borders are not porous (regardless of what the anti hispanic immigration republicans might say), its surrounded by states under its political dominion and for these reasons organizing a terrorist strike of this magnitude is extremely difficult. You have to procure the weapons, explosives, organize transport and communication - anyone vaguely middle eastern or arabic doing anything of the kind there is easy to track by USA security services and sticks out like a sore thumb. France on the other hand has 5-10 % muslim population, there are parts of the country that are muslim ghettos where no one has any idea what's going on and with the recent "refugee" crisis anyone could just waltz in. What happened yesterday was not a matter of "if" but "when", and whether it will happen in other European states is also a question of "when" more than anything else. Finally, right-wing terrorism is a media created blanket term used whenever anyone disgruntled and white shoots up a few people. Most of those acts don't even fall under the common definitions of terrorism and there's practically never a real organization behind them. The truth is that most far right groups are fiercely patriotic and that precludes them from taking action that would cause massive civilian casualties in their own country. "Right wing terrorism" is a media bogeyman, pre-emptive fear-mongering used to keep the current multi-culti experiment going and the parties that represent it in power (and parties like Swedish Democrats, Front Nationale etc. down).

Chechnya what? Just as i said, it's a region, not a religion. Causes of that war were socio-economical, it had nothing to do with Islam per se. Just because some use it as a shield doesn't mean anything. You do realise that Chechnya is only one small Islamic region out of many in Russia? The region may be small, but the war sure wasn't. Anyway, your point is wrong. Most of the terrorists come from various muslim countries and the ideology of jihad is represented everywhere, although not equally. Besides, the muslim faith doesn't recognize nation states.

It has less to do with specific religion and more with the region from where it all comes from. I live in Russia and we have millions of muslims, and most of them don't cause any problems whatsoever. You mean after the civil war where you had to deal with them with fire and iron (killed about 24000), until they realized it was better to roll over and give up? That is the language they understand, yes. Don't take this as an accusation, I couldn't care less about chechens - just a statement of fact.

Told you so. *shrug* I'm tired of repeating myself.

His insistence of ISIS being an American creation is based on knowing that USA created the Al-Qaeda he fought in, that is to say, the most direct experience you can have. He also implicates Jordan, Saudis, Israel, Turkey and nothing in all that sounds implausible. After all ISIS depends on oil exports to sustain itself, and those exports go through Turkey, which is NATO member which can't happen without US knowledge and compliance.
