Well, how do hundreds of jihadis and their enablers get to go to the ME without their 'tight knit' communities noticing?
Perhaps they aren't as "tight knit" as you suppose Soren? Have you bothered to ask the Muslims how it happens or does your Islamophobia supply all the answers to your questions for you?
Quote:I think most Muslims (practicing, complete with silly beard and niqabi/hijabi wife/sister) actually support the idea of Hamas, Hezballah, Hiz ul Tahrir, El Nusra, ISIL, Taliban, Al Qaeda, [your Islamic group resisting Western influences here]. They think the police and other anti-terrorism forces in Western countries are a much bigger problem than their particular Islamic group "resisting Western influences".
You think, do you Soren? Or is it your Islamophobia which supplies the answers to your questions for you?
Quote:It may well be that the biggest group of Muslims are the "Muslims" - people who don't take the Koran, Mohammed and the rest of it seriously. But they are "Muslims" in name onl;y, by accident, like the 'Catholics' in gay bath houses (Karnal pls fact check).
You could be right Soren. Afterall, Brian says that the regular attendance at Mosque is only slight more than the attendance at Christian churches...
Quote:But I am not convinced that the Muslims in Western countries who advertise their religion do so for spiritual rather than political reasons. They are the ones who may not be quite as distant from the various [your Islamic group resisting Western influences here] as you and others try to make it out.
I wonder how you feel about Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox Jews Soren?
Afterall, they have long hair, beards, wear strange clothing and hats and hardly wash. Rather sets them apart from the rest of the society around them, don't you think? I wonder, do they do it because of religious or political reasons?
