Nice summary Shaf. So tell me, did you read Chapter 4 of Failed States already? Did it shock you in any way, reading past the 'Grand strategy of globalization'? :wink: You would agree with me that benign intent is something for the masses to choke on, while the rationale (intentionally labelled as '...
So, if you remove those immigrants from the Netherlands, the Netherlands will be crime free and you can tear down the prisons. It's absolutely true but hardly plausible scenario in such a decadent democracy as Holland. I have always wondered why Rob emphasized on financial aspect only as he has rec...
But may I ask a pertinent question? In the UK, the biggest segment of illegal immigrants (primarily over-stayers for economic reasons) are the Australians and South Africans, but the popular media and outcry is actually over either the 'brown skinned' or lately the 'Polish' immigrants. In many case...
Try explaining those technicalities to the insurance firms. Try the government, so they can maintain the clogged drainage system every once in a while. That would leave the insurance companies with an incentive to insure these risks at reasonable prices. Now, the prices are too high, insurance prog...
Sage likes to pretend that he does not know it is the other way around: if Dubai is a Police State it is not to catch criminals but to control people. Most of the people Dubai catches or convict are innocent. Dubai is over regulated, yet a hit squad of 26 had a walk in the park and vanished, and Du...
This is what Andre Möller, Department of History and Anthropology of Religions, Lund University, Lund, Sweden thinks of the book written by David Cook.
I think it would be fair to derive the essential meaning of Jihad from historical warfare and differences in ordering a Jihad between Sunni and Shiiete Arabs. Warfare in Muslim societies History records instances of the "call for jihad" being invoked by Islamic leaders to legitimate wars o...
I can't believe what I read from you. Such prejudice and assumptions but nothing relating to what I've said. What agenda are you on? I'm talking about ALL immigrants. Black, white, yellow and purple. General policy. Comprende? :shock: Second, this is just one topic, there are many more that are not...
Thanks for the insights Robby - makes interesting reading. Being hard on youth is a tactic tried in the UK - with the 'ASBOs' - anti-social behaviour orders. The perverse thing is that became a badge of honour amongst these 'feral' youth - a whole section of society that seems to fit your descripti...
I don't believe that Geert Wilders is able to put things in order like Joseph Stalin could. :) However, Rob would not vote for Stalin because the latter would force Rob to do something for a living, which is of cause out of Rob's business model. :) Hahahaha, true! and welcome back RC! LOL From that...
Over the last three years, several beauty parlours and hair salons in the Gaza Strip have been the target of explosions and other attacks, which Hamas have blamed on radical Islamist groups who share the ideology of al Qaeda. Do those groups in Palestine ever agree on things by consensus or does an...
The bbc ran an article on Israeli army assessments from 1967 which stated that they knew they had superior forces. I couldn't immediately find the direct reference, but here is an indirect one from an article describing the 1967 war, and also refers to British intelligence assessments: Yeah - sure ...
How thrustworthy are these scholars and their interpretations of the Jihad as written in the Quran? Through an examination of the Koran, other Islamic texts and the example of the prophet Muhammad, this documentary argues, through a sober and methodical presentation, that violence against non-Muslim...
You say tomato... I asked whether you thought that we didn't understand the 'official' line the first time you posted it? Do you think there will be any more clarity if you repeat it again? I just said let's compare your 'facts' with what the Israeli military said in their internal assessments. Che...
It was a coverup. Israel felt cornered, commited warcrimes by torpedo attack, napalm bombing and killing of lifeboats with US Sailors. The US showed support by ignoring the warcrime against the USS Liberty by recalling twelve fighter jets while they were scrambled to support the USS Liberty. To limi...
OK, so here is Israel worriying that attacking Syria will upset the US...Israel doesn't want to annoy the US, so it attacks the USS Liberty . :roll: Lets not forget that when Israel discovered its mistake, which was the result of events of failed communications, human errors and unfortunate coincid...

Communications were jammed by the Israelis so that the USS could not send out an SOS to sister ships in the area to help out. They did sent out an SOS to the US aircraft carrier. Thats why two US fighter jets were scrambled to support the Liberty. McNamara and LBJ called those off. The veteran guy ...
I think you analyzed that pretty well EH. Just read about that Baruch Goldstein terrorist, and his actions show the resemblance of an islamic martyr, shooting 29 people, wounding 150 until he was beaten to death by the crowd. No bombs involved, obviously an act of suicide if you consider his surroun...
