Blessed are the ignorant !

Indy,

Then you must be a very blessed individual. ;-)

//However we now have a political fascist movement that has a covering of religion to deal with.
We can only look at the way they have invaded and suppressed other
peoples over the last 1400 years with the same Jihad policy.//

Yeah, for pretty much all of that last 1,400 years Christians have been merrily invading and suppressing other peoples left, right and centre. Crusades, colonisation, pogroms, religious wars aplenty... the Christians have been there, done that, bought the T-shirt.

The past is the past - we can shake our heads, lament the stupidity, and try to learn for the future... but we can't change it. So it isn't fair to blame modern day people for the misdeeds of their forebears.

//We can only look at the criminal activity in Europe and we can see that
there has been no change in the last 1400 years.//

No, there have been a lot of changes. For one thing, there is less violent criminal activity then there has been at pretty much any point in human history. Nobody ever believes me when I tell them this, because there is also much, much better communication than there has been at any point in human history. This abundance - some may say over-abundance - of communication creates the illusion that the world is a much more violent place than it used to be, but that isn't the case. Facts: so much more boring than stories.

//These laws are already in use in the UK and Canada.//

No, that's bollocks. There are definitely no laws of the sort you describe in the UK, just anti-discrimination laws not much different from our own. And from a quick search, they don't have them in Canada either. I suspect you've read a rant from some idiot who took issue with 'Motion 103' but hasn't understood the difference between a non-binding motion and a statute.

One is a law people have to obey, and the other is what happens if you eat too many prunes. Sorry, just my little joke.

You are right to an extent about the UK.
They just do not call it an Islamaphobia act.
It has the same result as quite a few people have been charged and
convicted. There was one that was gaoled but several who were given
suspended sentences or good behaviour bonds or the UK equivalent.
In Canada the bill you referred to was, as I understand it, stalled.
However there are other acts that are used.
However in the UK police enforce the "hate" laws selectively.

The UK police have been under attack for their selective enforcement
especially with regard to the sex trafficking of thousands of under age girls.
The police even arrested one father trying to force open a door to rescue his daughter.

No one has answered my previous question;
"Why should we ignore what is now happening in Europe ?"

Some would have us believe there are only a minority of attackers.
Yes, true only hundreds, I just wonder if the thousands that have
been attacked wounded and killed would agree.

Bazz,

The Syrians, and many others in the region should be able to
better answer your questions - speaking
from first hand-experience.
