Statistics are no facts just a tool for someone to portray their opinion with a scienfic tool.
agreed. That's why we have posters with personal experiences...including the OP. To me...those are worth more than any plastic "statistic".

So a sample of 11 people is representative of a country.
not representative...but...depictive none the less. Compare it with the rest of EU national teams, and you will see what I'm getting at.
Most teams have one or maybe two players that are not "home grown", but imported. France however has more "imported" players than any other nation in Europe. When I say imported...I mean, players that are not originally french but were given french nationality once they moved and settled there.

What about my experiences I wrote about? 2nd post in the thread?
Like I said never had a problem I lived in that street for 5 years...not once was I attacked, In fact I was welcomed into that community even though my neighbors knew I do not like any religion.
I was invited to their weddings and various partys and everyone was respectful and kind, never did they try to convert and on a few occasions I talked with the mosque Imam I found out he was honest and open and he hated fundamentalism, he told me why he came to the UK and how he considers himself British due to living here for over 40 years.

Nobody spoke of hidden agendas. And there can't be any...but...it does not change the fact...they (muslim comunity) "produce" more children than the average white EU family. That is not disputable. By sheer numbers...it is unavoidable.
based on a premise so imbecilic
non-white French footballers

that was uncalled for...I realize the argument is not the best for this type of discussion, but I was making a point. The one you missed with this comment:
It's not about non-whites...it's about non-french...whether they be black or white or yellow...is of no consequence for my argument.
I'm not picking on you, but man, when you come out with this stuff it just begs to be refuted. You are aware that birth rates tend to slow with development and standard of living? And that extrapolating from current demographic trends is almost always disastrous?

In the Uk 4.8% of the populace are Muslim a recent poll showed 40% of those want Sharia law so that is about 2.2% want it.
Somehow I can not see 2.2% of the UK making the rest of us accept this law.
Do not get me wrong I hate any idea we have any type of Religion dictate how we live and how our Government comes to decisions.
If that 2.2% want to fight many of us will fight against it.
I am an Atheist, who believes in the law of the land and human rights to the highest level. And I respect it and also have a pacifist view which conflicts with Islam.
I have seen an article that when Islam reaches at around 14-15%, then they start getting what they demand, mainly due to the closely knit community in which they live and their blind support for Islam and fellow Muslims.
Now its 2.2%, but what happens when its 15 or even 20%. Fertility rates amongst Muslims is generally higher than the local population. Maybe you will not see their rise, but your children will definitely see that day.edit on 2/4/13 by asen_y2k because: (no reason given)

Interesting that the original poll isn't available so we can't check whether it actually says that 29 per cent of muslims are indeed "aggressive".
Originally posted by JuniorDisco
I rather doubt that it actually means they are unthinkingly aggressive all the time, but I suppose it suits a certain agenda to pretend they are.

You won't convince these people. They see what they want to see.
I was walking through Whitechapel recently and it's majority Bangladeshi, but it's a pretty normal working class area with different shops and restaurants, certainly. It's not especially dangerous, certainly less so than Custom House, say, which is majority white. But if you dropped a lot of these inadequates there they would be literally frightened because of all the 'horrible brown people'. It's just basic prejudice.

So, you support an ideal of removing everyone from the U.S. other than Native Americans, because all the rest of us obviously don't belong here? Or is there a statute of limitations on that because we've now been here for a few hundred years? All I can say after reading that is 'Wow'.
When did i say that. And why USA, I am not even talking about USA, I have never been there, no experience. I never said everyone should be removed.
