Islamic fundamentalism is incompatible with western democracies and cultures. The only religion public figures criticize is Christianity, while pretending Baptists aspire to enforce the Handmaid’s Tale, ignoring the death cult theocracy setting fire to civilization.
The link looks super interesting, but for paid subscribers.
I’ve seen that analysis before, but no demo breakdown by country.
I was shocked to learn that the Brits did nothing about the Pakistani rape squads. And now, more recently, about sharia courts in the UK. We got the rule of law from England and they have abandoned it. Now jailing people for “hate” speech.
Mike, what does this have to do with Islam? When sports teams win the big championship, often times drunk people are idiots. We have seen it plenty in the states.
You xenophobia is blinding your vision of the truth.
It's just possible that if we didn't bomb the shit out of their countries in order to steal their oil, they might be back home there living normal lives. France is one of the worst, using Jihadis right now to try to regain control of their African colonies. French intelligence trained SAVAK, which brutally suppressed any opposition to the Shah that we installed, so that the West could keep control of their oil.
I bet if we left them alone, they wouldn't hate us. It's worth a try anyway, but I guess if your aim is to justify a genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, and now southern Lebanon, I am guessing that you are not much interested in logic and history.
Yes if we hadn’t bombed Saddam then the Moors would never have conquered Spain! Brilliant Timmy! Widen your blinkered view of the world Dude. And ask yourself why THIS photo of a fire in Paris is reported when so many arsons have plagued the City of Light in recent years? Some arson and rioting is more newsworthy than others, right?
A version has been happening for over a week in NJ. Like Air Fleischer wrote on X: “ The Democrats do a January 6th every day, every week. Their target is ICE. J6 was a riot. THIS is in insurrection.”
Michael those facts are inconvenient to the “der it’s sports riots” so they tune out when they hear the ironic chants from The Religion of Peace (sic).
I remember when "marriage equality" was still up for debate, and Megan McArdle, a then-libertarian (I don't know what she is now), wrote a long post regretfully concluding that she was against it because of its unknown effects on the margins. In other words, would allowing gay people to marry cause some straight people, on the margins, NOT to marry, because marriage has been somehow devalued? And if so, what effect would that reduced number of marriages have on society?
Back up forty years from that to the War on Poverty, when apparently government workers were going door to door in poor neighborhoods, informing women that they would be entitled to taxpayer money (I'm sure they didn't put it that way) if they had children but there was no man in the picture. At the time, some 25% of black children were born out of wedlock. Now it's 70% - and the percentage of white children born out of wedlock has increased even more than that tripling, if memory serves. And we know that being in an interact, two-parent family is a strong protector of good outcomes for children. I can't remember whether McArdle used this example in drawing her conclusion, but she might have.
Here's my point: people didn't use to "celebrate" sports victories by destroying their cities. Now, an increasing number do. A permission structure now exists. Where did it come from? Mark? Thoughts about that?
"It's just possible that if we didn't bomb the shit out of their countries in order to steal their oil, they might be back home there living normal lives."
Right. If Great Britain hadn't bombed Pakistan and stolen their oil, there wouldn't be Pakistani rape gangs all over England.
In related news hey whatever happened to that mosque attack in San Diego anyway? Odd that an attempted mass murder just fails to attract reporters. Not even Gun Grabber Gavin has condemned the shooters’ weapons? The guns are ALWAYS to blame!
I’m really concerned for the world’s 1.4 billion muslims. There are 10 million jews ominously minding their own business right in the middle of the Middle East who might secretly be genociding the mohammedans.After all the philistines have only nearly doubled in population since the Yom Kippur War. Sad.
"....I bet if we left them alone, they wouldn't hate us. It's worth a try anyway, ...."
That has to be one of the most absurd reductionist prattlings I've read in a long time. Who is being bombed? Are you concluding that all of these young male rioters are from either Gaza or Iran? Oh, wait, scratch the latter, the populace is against their own government. So these are all Gazans, this is your contention? Is it barely possible they're Muslims, stirred up by their local imams, on a holy mission of jihad, amplified by politicians and policy makers that opened their borders and shoveled free aid money at them, without requiring registration, work, or law abidance, with no screening at all, just possibly?
I've worked in plenty of Muslim countries. Their contempt for Christians and the west knows few depths. The nice ones are minimally tolerant. No bombs.
In that clip, I like the Paris police showing aggression. Like the doodad in their hands, the projectile we heard fired, and going after the hoodlums. Can those police reactions happen in America anymore? Maybe Red America, but can they happen in Blue America? Never thought I would say this, but well done France!
“ I bet if we left them alone, they wouldn't hate us.”
Isn’t that exactly what Obama did for eight years? And they laughed at us and kept making weapons grade plutonium, building missiles, and funding terrorists everywhere.
When a Christian shouts, “Hallelujah!” It means thank or praise God. When a Jew shouts, “Baruch Hashem!” It expresses gratitude to God. When a Muslim shouts, “Allahu Akbar!” It means run, hide or die.
Weird how everyone is using this post as a chance to hate Muslims. The Riot was over a soccer victory.
Marine Le Pen wrote on X that "only in France does a football club's victory spark riots."
"Only in France does everyone feel compelled to lock themselves in their homes on the evening of a victory to avoid being confronted with violence," she added.
From a 2018 Forbes article, quoting Mark Twain about the urban renewal of Paris by Napoleon III: "... noble boulevards as straight as an arrow – avenues which a cannonball could traverse from end to end without meeting an obstruction more irresistible than the flesh and bones of men – boulevards whose stately edifices will never afford refuges and plotting places for starving, discontented revolution breeders."
Paris streets were made wide and straight to allow suppression of rioters, using grapeshot from canon or lines of military firing muskets. Ah, the good oold days!
Mark, on the one hand it could be the bicycle version of soccer hooligans. On the other hand, Radical Islamists have murdered, burned, and orchestrated so many multi-site terrorist attacks and bombings in recent years that fear is prudent.
The Israelis kill 80,000 women and children in Gaza, bomb hospitals and ambulances in Lebanon, assassinate anyone they don't like, and get us into an unneccessary war in Iran, and everybody in the USA doesn't care.
Meanwhile, they have some weird crazy hatred for islam, even those muslims in France nothing but engage in the French sport of rioting.
The real question is why are these Muslims in france. Why are there so many Africans in France. They aren't just 2/3 of the French Soccer team. I have zero sympathy for the French, because they've always been multi-cultural dumbos who love blacks muslims etc. Why as long as they speak french, they're just as good a Frenchman as Louis XIV!
This strange love of "the other" is deep within their soul, and goes back to the French Revolution. The only ones who have it worse, are the English. Both countries are on Suicide watch.

This was fans "celebrating" because a Paris team won the European soccer championship. I believe this happens in some US cities as well.
Is Paris burning?
"Is Paris Burning?"
(sorry, classical reference)
Good thing they won, eh? Wouldn't want to get them mad, would you?
Poor Gabriel. Played the game of his life, then that at the end. Life is tragedy. The dark arts always bite you in the end.
I believe this happens in some US cities as well.
In Detroit — the Paris of America.
This will explain.

Notice the tag, order and chaos.
On the plus side, they were all wearing cullottes and nobody was throwing cobblestones. Paris has had worse riots.
Oh, it's just sports. Never mind. Boys will be boys and all that?
Reports say the arsonists are chanting Allahu Akbar.
What team is he on?

They're clearly chanting "Allah akbar" here:

Are you sure that’s Paris and not the ICE facility at Delaney Hall in New Jersey?
"It's just possible that if we didn't bomb the shit out of their countries in order to steal their oil, they might be back home there living normal lives."
Right. If Great Britain hadn't bombed Pakistan and stolen their oil, there wouldn't be Pakistani rape gangs all over England.

What made this story disappear?
To paris with love captured the milieu

Very norm macdonald Mike W
That film showed the arabic graffiti the hiphop all the sociopathy in the banlieud
Of course with a self hating pm like macron its a walk
Pay attention to what they are shouting, Mark.
Sixty years after independence north africa is still a mess
Qatari funded team paris st germain so their natursl gas still funds the team
In that clip, I like the Paris police showing aggression.
Like the doodad in their hands, the projectile we heard fired, and going after the hoodlums.

Never thought I would say this, but well done France!
The flics are still a powet however the authorities are useless
Sacré bleu!
Desilu Snackbar!!!
Wait ‘til the merde hits the Renault.
Mike, what does this have to do with Islam?
I’m just wondering if you still need help figuring this out Tim.
It also shows the chinese mob influence as in the transporter films
Like something out of Dumas
The Germans were kinder to Paris than the African visitors have been.
“ I bet if we left them alone, they wouldn't hate us.”

You can tell its france and not the UK, because none of the police are women.
Remember the Yellow jacket riots? The french, not just french muslims, love to riot and protest.
Weird how everyone is using this post as a chance to hate Muslims. The Riot was over a soccer victory.
Marine Le Pen wrote on X that "only in France does a football club's victory spark riots."
"Only in France does everyone feel compelled to lock themselves in their homes on the evening of a victory to avoid being confronted with violence," she added.
She's never been to Detroit - LOL.
The French have a word for this sort of thing: samedi.
What team does Allah support?
The winners. Duh.
I can't get worked up about what is happening in Paris. I've spent a lot of time in and around Paris.
The French reliably riot this time of year in the same way that Americans have backyard barbecues on Memorial Day.

You go Muslims. The French and the British love it.

Invite a bunch of savages into your midst, then complain when they behave like savages.
Every major city in the US has done the same thing.
Idiots.
