But I'm not Christian.
Now explain it again.
Rhetorically speaking.
But if you're an atheist, or Jew, or Buddhist, just replace "Christians" accordingly. Or with "locals". Or whatever.
For sure you know what I meant.
As for me, even if I'm a ferocious anti-communist, I think Marx was right: religion is, indeed, people's opium. The "elites" always used religion to wage wars against others and guess what: the poor, stupid bastards killed each other screaming "Jesus!" or "Allah!" while the "elites" watched them with a grin.
So some of the most concerned people I've met have been....Atheists, Secularists, Humanists, Agnostics.
You know, those people who've been willing to swat the other religions for encroaching on freedom of thought.

Islamic society is caught up in a self-replicating, endless cycle of violence and fear, driven by its most devout believers.
The cycle goes like this.
The Violence Each generation’s most devout believers train a small percentage of the next generation’s most devout believers that it is OK to commit violence in the name of Islam. This becomes an endless cycle because these devout believers are also instructed to kill anyone who tries to modify or stop the teaching of this violence. The Fear Because (1) these potential killers are trained everywhere within Islam and evenly distributed throughout the greater Islamic population (ummah) and, (2) they cannot be easily identified, it means any devout believer anywhere could be the next killer.
Every Muslim is aware of this potential threat (fear) from these most devout believers. As a result all Muslims suffer from the same fear that drives the system. The violence and fear created by these devout believers has a profound effect on Islam. It is at the core of what Islam has become. The violence/fear cycle is responsible for all the irregularities of Islamic society. It is why Muslims seem so pious (fear of a negative response from the most devout believers). It is why Muslims don’t leave the faith and why they don’t integrate when they emigrate. (The killers are trained to kill anyone who leaves the faith). It is why moderate Muslims never speak up (the killers are trained to kill anyone who questions the faith).
It is why Muslims from Morocco to the Philippines riot over a handful of cartoons or a simple comment from the Pope. (The killers riot and others go along in order to look pious.) This violence/fear cycle leaves a deep psychic scar on Muslim society, and is responsible for what Islam is. Understanding this violence/fear system is the ultimate key to understanding Islam. No attempts to deal with Islamic violence will ever succeed unless they address the cause of this violence/fear cycle.

Scotland is a VERY protestant place, and one of the (Sadly) most bigoted, racist places on the planet.
Nice place to live, but it all about Catholic/Protestant here.

You should stop babbling and letting a fascist paper think for you.
The courts have no power, no more so than the amish choosing to settle disputes among themselves and they arent about to take over the world.
The Aromanian language and culture are facing a similar fate to that of many European cultures which are becoming or have become extinct. However, the acceptance of a pluralist system of cultural values is a prerequisite for stability in Europe, and particularly in the Balkans.
The latter text recommended setting up, under the auspices of the Council of Europe, a "laboratory for dispersed ethnic minorities" with a mandate, inter alia, to promote the survival of minority cultures or their memory, carry out surveys of persons still speaking minority languages, record, collect and preserve their monuments and evidence of their language and folklore, publish basic documents and promote legislation to protect minority cultures against discrimination or annihilation.

They are not credible sources, I refuse to believe anything from them like other sites like the EU times, before its news or Sorcha Faal. They are proven liars and hoxers.

Theres no need to contest the premise because there isnt one, you might as well be saying black people or Mexicans are trying to take over the US.
Over 1 million Poles have entered the UK in the last couple of years, I suppose you believe they are trying to take over the UK too?
