ccording to you, Islam as a whole is incapable of modernising itself because the Quran is perfect, so your point appears to be that Muslims are a lost cause.
Was expecting to see scarecrow maker in your occupation with all those straw men... solicitor, makes sense.amusingduck said:
Yes, I do believe that prevents Islam from modernising itself.
Not sure why you're conflating the ideology Islam, the teachings of the Quran/Allah/Mohammad with the followers of said ideology.
I don't have a problem with Muslims, I have a problem with the ideology Islam, the teachings of the Quran/Allah/Mohammad.
So taking that at face value and not yelling racist, how do you explain that a huge number of Muslims in the west and indeed in lots of other places are not violent and are not in rape gangs?Not sure why you're conflating the ideology Islam, the teachings of the Quran/Allah/Mohammad with the followers of said ideology.
I don't have a problem with Muslims, I have a problem with the ideology Islam, the teachings of the Quran/Allah/Mohammad.
Are they less devout or understanding those teachings differently?
Is that any less true for other religions? Don't they all have some violent elements that can be used to stir people up?
I don't really have a dog in this fight. I freely admit to knowing nothing very much about Islam or its followers.

Are you really going down the 'Islam isn't a race' route?Birds of a feather, eh?

You’ve used this twice so it’s fair to say you’ve found yourself another white nationalist midget to hang your hat on. This time it’s Ben Shapiro, the Fox News/Daily Wire/Breitbart lunatic that pushed the Pizzagate conspiracy.
Birds of a feather, eh?
Ben Shapiro, white nationalist.Birds of a feather, eh?
You're the gift that keeps on giving Dindoit.
I don't care if it Hitler or Bin Laden that said it.
I suppose you were one of the idiots that believed the YouTube alternate influence network report that listed all those "white nationalists"... those white nationalists like 'SomeBlackGuy'.

Depending on the polls you read:
The average Muslim opposes homosexuality if you want to play the average card.
There's a 27% chance they're sympathetic to the Charlie Hebdo attacks - and then you've got to ask who in their right mind would admit to that being their position in the first place so I suspect the 10% that refused or said I don't know are likely harbouring bad thoughts too.
They're who Robinson and his followers see as moderates and I'm sympathetic to their cause in being concerned with what it could bring in the future when you look at Italy, Germany, France and Sweden.
It's the poor areas that will more likely to see the bad effects first so it's understandable they want no part of it.
And to address your turn around, I'd say the moderate (if you want to go with average) Robinson follower is simply anti the Islamisation of the West. To suggest they must all be Nazis because some idiots in his followers have given a Nazi salute is the same argument as the same stupid argument as saying all Muslims are terrorists.
You mean polls like the one suggesting there is more support from non Muslims, than Muslims as to whether targeting and killing civilians can be justified in order to further a political, social or religious cause?The average Muslim opposes homosexuality if you want to play the average card.

Polls don’t lead to actions. There are very few islamists who have killed people on British soil.
I’ll just pluck something from the air and suggest that the average Christian opposes homosexuality as well. Where’s TR’s videos on that?
The vast majority of paedophiles are non Muslims. Where’s his contempt of court relating to those cases?

"An asinine willingness ti accept an authoritarian culture" dear lord, have a listen to yourself.
So when a factual statement is put forward to counter your specious argument, you dissmiss it as "twisted by those in positions of power..." Priceless stuff.
Have you got enough tin-foil for the hat you wear or should we have a whip-round?
So we're not seeing disproportionate rise in crimes in areas of large immigration? And all the people swinging to voting in an attempt to stop it are just making it up?So when a factual statement is put forward to counter your specious argument, you dissmiss it as "twisted by those in positions of power..."

Carry on trying to justify your anti-immigration, anti-muslim rhetoric if you wish. It doesn't change the fact that you are seeing 2 + 2 and making 37 out of it as you aren't willing to look into the real causes, but are simply looking for the simple and usually wrong answers to explain what is going on.
It's pretty standard populist nonsense. Look for the easy answers and ignore reality as it doesn't fit with your world view. It's a well worn path that, so hardly surprising stuff.

There are lots of reasons for crime, not just immigration. I suspect if you changed the words "immigration" to "Poverty" then the stats would mirror eachother.

Ah yes, all coincidence that bringing in huge levels of immigration from a different culture has seen a rise in crime levels.Carry on trying to justify your anti-immigration, anti-muslim rhetoric if you wish.

Facts disagree with you.

Stop the what about-ism.
Christian countries aren't persecuting gays to my knowledge in the modern world.
Muslims make up the vast minority of the population, they should be the minority of paedophiles. Why bring this up?
Where am I defending Robinson's actions?

You're right not all the people in that image are ethnonationalists. What they are is a huge echo chamber that disseminates anti progressive ideas & opinions (some of which are openly racist/bigoted) to isolated people on the internet, mostly for their own economic gain. Not the type of people I'd be looking to for world wisdom.You're the gift that keeps on giving Dindoit.

People talking to people with different views = echo chamber. Deary me.
people with different views aye? Without even googling I can tell you more than half of the people there have been involved with either the mens rights movement of gamergate.
I'd bet most of them would describe themselves as classical liberals, whether you want to take that as the dog whistle it is or not.
Keep drinking the kool aid buddy .
