And you're telling me multiculturalism works in those places?
I can only tell you what I experienced, and that was a lack of friction, people got on with one another. We worked together, and we all socialised after work. That's all.
F-ES Sitecore wrote:
What is "multicultural" about places that are Muslim ghettos?
Why single out Muslims. There were Jewish 'ghettos', Greek 'ghettos', Irish 'ghettos', even Ozzie 'ghettos' (Kangaroo Valley, Earl's Court). People congregate by income, class, race, creed, colour, whichever provides an environment in which they feel secure (especially in a foreign land).

The IRA were political terrorists though, motivated by politics.
Brought about by the division of Ireland into Catholic and Protestant governed states. However, a terrorist bomb is a terrorist bomb, whether planted for Religion or the State. I do not distinguish between the two.
F-ES Sitecore wrote:
The Bible was not telling these people to hate,
And the Koran states that Jews and Christians are Children of the Book, worshipping the same God (Allah), it does not say they should be hated. The hatred arises from the actions taken by the USA and its Allies to destabilize the 'Middle East'. Those indoctrinating young Muslims need only point out that these States' actions are un-Christian, thus forfeiting the Koran's protection, allowing their hatred fre rein. We make it too easy for the fundamentalists working on impressionable minds.

There are indeed enclaves of other cultures (Polish and so on) but they're nowhere near as entrenched, pervasive or widespread. Neither are they multiplying at an increased rate, nor are they causing any real problems. I'd rather there be no enclaves of any culture, but give me a Polish or Jewish enclave over a Muslim one any day.

Irrelevant. People of that religion only bought into, and supported, terrorism in NI if they were also politically minded and criminally minded. Yet again you are ignoring the fact that Muslims are taught to hate by their religious text and their leaders. You can go to any Christian church in the land and you won't hear hate being peddled. If you don't understand this and instead continue to dodge and ignore this issue you are the very reason we are sleepwalking into destruction.

For centuries Muslims have been killing and driving out non-Muslims, even from the very birth of Pakistan. Are you going to blame that on the USA foreign policy too? To ignore centuries of Muslim genocides and atrocities inflicted on our religions and instead blame everything on near-recent events is incredibly ignorant.

Agree. But then, I don't call that a "true" religion.

Let's not make this into a race issue, because it isn't.

It is an issue about violent behaviour. Why should we not discuss the violence committed by a certain race, but discuss about the violence committed by a certain religion? Is one more acceptable than the other? If that were the case, then we'd have to name the genocides I mentioned about as "catholic terrorism".

This isn't about race related violence nor violence committed by one race against another. Muslims are of many races including white.

Because it *is* about violence committed by those of a certain religion and in the name of that religion.
Rajesh R Subramanian wrote:

Not necessarily. Depends on context. Here the context is "Islam" or "Muslim" -- a religion or class of religious people. Not a race. Hence my comment not to make this about race. Besides, in my mind there is only one race: Human.

Some of those incidences, sadly, may have been (at least by today's standards). When it is state orchestrated, then it's war. It's terrorism when committed by individuals.

So are Christians, and they have committed genocides as well. It also is kind of what I pointed out in y first message, as the OP seemed to be ignorant of the fact that not all Muslims are the same.

Murdering innocent people is not an acceptable thing, no matter the context. Not in the name of religion, not in the name of race. The British people willfully murdered several millions of people around the world, and are unapologetic to this date about the millions they murdered in India. It could only be perceived as them being OK with committing genocides in the name of race. However, it does seem unacceptable to them when about one millionth of what they did is done by someone else in the name of a delusional interpretation of a religion. See the hypocrisy in there? Note that I am not endorsing any murder; the sooner they get rid of ISIS and the likes, the better for the world.

Ah, the US State Department - experts in State Sponsored Terrorism. Very modest of them to defer to Iran, Sudan,and Syria. As for a multicultural society, my experience of it in Britain has been very positive. Of course, the destabilisation of the 'Middle East' by the USA and its EU allies has radicalised Muslims. We should not be surprised, then, that when we bomb and kill innocent civilians, nutters retaliate by killing innocent civilians in our countries. At least they take themselves out as well, unlike the European Christian bombers we experienced in the UK some decades ago - plant the bomb and scarper.
Wow, You're purposely ignoring centuries of Islamic violence and trying to suggest it only started when we bombed them. Also ignoring that the ira would mostly ring a warning after the bomb was posted

Recent USA foreign policy is responsible for the current stoking of hatred. Possibly the British and French colonial actions following WW1 are also raked over. Certainly the exodus of illegal East European immigrants into what is now Israel still smarts.

You're either not very intelligent, or you're just trolling, so I'll try and explain my point in very simple terms Religion A - was violent thousands of years ago, not hundreds of years ago, not today Religion B - was violent thousands of years ago, violent hundreds of years ago, but not today Religion C - was violent thousands of years ago, violent hundreds of years ago, and violent today Religion A & B and "good", religion C is "bad.

Thank you very much for proving my point by repeatedly failing to acknowledge, or even to comment on the genocides committed by the white people around the world. Why, thanks indeed for proving my point beyond any shadow of doubt, by nonchalantly purporting that I've a loose definition of genocides, like if a few million human lives taken on each country that was violently invaded and overthrown by the British and their slave cobbers shouldn't be much of a concern. That demonstrates either a lack of knowledge of world history if you believed that didn't happen, or a complete disregard for the crimes committed by the shameful, ignominious, erstwhile "empire" against humanity as a whole. My error, indeed, was not knowing better than to expect anything else from such who consider the lowly swine, a pathetic, wretched, spineless wriggling disgrace of an excuse for a human being, Winston Churchill, as their "hero", who, among other things, has publicly averred: "I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."

Yes, lets make everyone in the present day guilty for crimes made by humans 100's even 1000's of years ago.

Yes, let's continue in this stupidly ignorant and illogical scheme. Yes, let's continue to justify the murder and killing of innocent people because of crimes done by past people who are not even connected to those we kill. Yes, let's continue to murder and cause mayhem because that's who we are: murderers.

"white people" doesn't seem acceptable when it comes to generalizing, but saying anything bad about "Muslims" seem to be alright. Casually being racist against an an entire group of diverse people, and stating things like "we should get them all out" seem to be perfectly OK.

This is the typical hillbilly response given out by most British people, without realizing how insensitive that seems. I wouldn't blame you, because it wasn't millions of your people that were willfully starved to death so you wouldn't feel the need to even understand what exactly happened. However, what stops you from realizing that the British hasn't apologised for the atrocities to this date? As to the rancid logic of the people of today having nothing to do with what happened, surely, being unapologetic about the crimes is done by the people of today. In fact, the British have issued apologies to some countries and haven't done so to many others. Japan apologized to Korea. Canada apologized to their indigenous people. Australia apologized to the aboriginals. None of this was "necessary", but they actually feel sorry, and they mean it by apologizing. By apologizing and empathizing with those who were taken advantage of in a colossal scale, they have proven that they are better than those criminals of the bygone era. A simple sorry would go a very long way, but I suppose that a "sorry that we looted your nation, raped, tortured, murdered, mutilated, and starved your people to death" is too much to ask for. India asked for 1 pound a year for the next 200 years as a "symbolic reparation", which was denied as well. It's not enough to say that "we're good people, we're innocent".
