Thanks. Though I have to clarify something. It's not "moderates" who are like me, it's the majority. Wahhabis make up a very small amount of Muslims. They're the ones with the blood feud against Shiites & are called "Radical Islam" instead of Wahhabis by Western media. That's because the Wahhabi leaders in Saudi Arabia & Qatar are major supporters of the petrodollar & make major investments in Western stocks & bonds (and defense contracts).
Radical Wahhabis recruit disillusioned Sunnis to convert to their sect then wage war on everyone, claiming they represent the "true Islam".
Ironically, I don't hate Wahhabis. I just wish they'd reject their intolerant & violent BS. Those who've committed crimes should face prosecution for those crimes while the others should be rehabilitated. The other irony is that I'm the type of Muslim they target the most, because I don't fear them & I know Islam well enough to counter their brainwashing BS. But many poor Muslims don't even have a Qur'an, so they only know what their local religious figures teach them. That makes it easy for the wealthy Wahhabis to come in & recruit them.
For a very small number of Muslims they sure create a 'bloody' mayhem

In all honesty, Wahabi Islamists have a Christian equivalent - the bible thumping fundies.
However, for the most part the Christians are non violent (Although you do get some pretty awful things happen like Waco still)
Open minded and tolerant Islam is no problem - as long as those who follow it can accept that pluralism and the law of the land comes before Sharia law in the west.
The hardline Wahabis on the other hand are scary because they push boundaries and are not afraid to use violence and bloodshed to get their way. And that is something I hope we can both agree is unacceptable and endangers the pluralistic way of life we enjoy in the west.

I have muslim friends, my little boy's closest friend is muslim and comes to our house and for days out and my child goes to his house, days out with his family. So I am not saying all muslims are bad, far from it. When I am voicing concern I am talking more about ISIS and their twisted ideology and the fact that they may well have infiltrated some of the hundreds of thousands of immigrants now coming into Europe on a daily basis, I think they would be mad not to have used Europe's open borders policy to try and send some of their own people over. What do you think, do you believe there could be extremists hidden amongst the immigrants/refugees? I know my muslim friends do, but if I say the same on here I am told I am being paranoid!reply to: enlightenedservant

Europe has it the worst because their inhabitants have no balls nor any guns. As an American, I am thankful for my guns. Yes, that is meant to be in plural form.
You guys are just sitting ducks over there waiting to be exploited and walked on
A real man would NOT leave his family behind in a war torn country as he leaves for greener pastures.

I agree. I wouldn't have ever known of some about some of the atrocities that ISIS have carried out if it hadn't been for the British media plastering the images all over the front page. Thankfully, I've never looked at any of the videos they have released, nor would I want to, my imagination is enough. Unfortunately, by doing so the media are just spreading ISIS propaganda for them.
On the opposing side though journalists would probably say they have to report on the things ISIS are doing to let the world know how barbaric they are and to show the reality of living under ISIS control.
As well as the terrorist threat though I also feel concern with regard to how refugees/immigrants are going to integrate and assimilate with European culture, simply because of the sheer numbers.

I am glad you are not representative of most Americans. You are thankful for your guns - well pal I have lived for 39 years and not needed a gun once, I would hate to live in a place where I needed a gun to feel safe.
Oh and make no mistake, you are being exploited and walked on despite your guns.
So you live in a place where you need a gun to feel safe and are shafted by your government and yet you bring up a family there without doing anything about it except buying a gun sorry 'guns'....i feel sorry for you, I dont care about the size of your balls but if brains were dynamite you couldn't blow your hat off.

"Any criticism of Islam in Europe is treated as a form of racism, and "Islamophobia" is considered a crime or a sign of mental illness".
originally posted by: eluryh22 a reply to: anxiouswens Perhaps this is a little off topic, but my two cents.... It's one thing to deal with refugees (real or alleged). What astounds me is I hear literally NOTHING by way of doing something about the root cause. Why not have a coalition of nations carve out safe-zones adjacent to where people are allegedly fleeing from? Taking in refugees by the hundreds of thousands is like putting a band aid on a cut that requires stitches. This makes me suspicious that all this is by design, not something "unexpected."
