(2,884 posts)(2) Again, that is YOUR opinion based on no fact. Let's rephrase this, there are studies which show even the most progressive persons have an unconscious racial bias, but it is low. What the large scale study I already gave you also show is that European countries are among the least racist on the planet, France included. You keep reiterating your accusation toward the French without evidence. And you refuse to acknowledge the 'hood' subculture willfully perpetuated in the banlieues is self defeating. In other words, you put all the blame on the host population (the French whites) and none on the part of the immigrants you cherish (those of 'Muslim' origin)
(3) Most Democrats -I hope- would disagree with your statement that "Political Islam is the same amount of hindrance to development as is the Republican party here in the U.S". Let's take one very simple example: Lincoln (Republican) fought to abolish slavery, while slavery is expressly condoned in the Quran, that 'perfect' word of god. Face it: the Quran is a very imperfect book with some horrible teachings (just like the Old Testament it took its inspiration from). btw, take the believer's challenge: under which Pharaoh did Moses live? Reagan or Khomeiny, which is worst? Hint: Reagan did not hang gays.
(4) Muslim journalists and analysts have pointed out that ISIS (including the Paris terrorists) can find scriptural justification in the Quran and hadiths. ISIS is not very different from Saudi Arabia. Actually, Saudi Arabia has less doctrinal justification than ISIS: why does the KSA allow unbelievers in the 'sacred' 'Muslim' land? Were the Muslims invading Spain provoked by the West as you like to ascribe as motivation of Muslims attacking it now?
