'Many Arabs – and not just the radical ones – see themselves as one nation'

so the only rational conclusion from Graham's worldview is that it is idiotic to be allowing Arab muslims to immigrate to the Western nations. They have been killing off infidels long before 2003.Scott Morison is indeed a hero.

"But particularly, village idiots, who think their personally perceived problems can be solved with a gun; rather than compounded by imbecilic/ whim and caprice of a madman/knuckle dragging Neanderthal, primitive stone age/brainless, moribund violence!"

Rusty, exactly what does this sentence mean?

'Community' is usually defined everywhere not just by who is IN, who is 'US', but who is forever OUT, 'THEM'.

Bigmouth, what does the above mean?

P.S. Both of you gentlemen need to do remedial English!

David G: Rusty, exactly what does this sentence mean? & Bigmouth, what does the above mean?

It's very plain to those that English is their first language David. I guess Arabic is more your first language, so you are excused for not getting the gist of those sentences.

I'll let Rhosty explain but suffice to say "knuckle draggers" are those people with very low IQ that live in & come from the ME.

"Community," as an example, If you are a Sunni in a Sunni Community then you are "In" & one of the "us". Any one else is "out" & therefore must be killed.

Schrimple Sherlock.

David,

I've heard 'community' defined as 'those who feel united by a common mistaken belief', which usually is enough to exclude those who don't 'believe'. So 'community' is as much an exclusionary concept as an inclusionary one. And usually an illusionary concept as well.

I recall when I was studying community development thirty or more years ago, this was commonly accepted. When you get to about Year 10 or 11, your social studies or geography teacher will probably teach you about it. Good luck.

"I recall when I was studying community development one hundred and thirty or more years ago, this was commonly accepted," says Bigmouth.

Jayb, thanks for explaining what BM was trying to say. It's so nice when people work together, each helping the other along with their difficulties.

BM is always trying to help the members of the OLO community to think just like him and always shows tolerance and respect for those fortunates who don't 'think' like him.

He does however seem to have a strange interest in schoolboys, have you noticed?

Joe,

"So the Yanks should have been aware that any road to democracy was going to be very long..."

Well...if yer honest...the spiel about delivering democracy was like a free set of steak knives on a K-Tel commercial.

We all know what the main game was.

And the blockheads who ran the Bush show couldn't have given a toss for the vacuum created or the tangled web of enmities and loyalties which dictate terms in the area.

Simplistic arrogant buffoons in charge of advanced weaponry was what we got.

And Iraq has been dealing with it ever since.
