[Opinions] WTF??
in reply to a message by bananarama
Now, I totally disagree with the entirety of your post, but this part: "The only Europeans still using THEIR OWN names are (get ready to cringe) the Moroccan, Pakistani, Turkish, and Somali immigrants, none of whom belong in Europe anyway due to their prudishness and intolerance." (bolding mine) is really revolting. Way to falsely stereotype a massive group of people and make yourself look like a bigoted, ethnocentric ass.
Also, what does it matter if people use names that don't belong to their culture? If everyone only used names that came from their heritage it would be awfully boring and nobody would have a very wide selection. It's not such a horrible, evil thing if people use names outside of their heritage.
Seriously. Have you been hanging out with Loxandra too much?

Those were my thoughts exactly. Well said.
Heh

That was my first thought.

It matters because it looks stupid! And anyone who constantly beats their wives, behaves coldly, and torches historic synagogues (the Jews are the only non-Christians native to Europe) doesn't belong in tolerant Europe!
Those Muslim immigrants rape native European women, kill Jewish students (NOT A SINGLE MUSLIM felt bad for poor Ilan Halimi), have too many children, don't let their daughters get educations, and dress like it's still the 19th century.
My message to EVERY Muslim in Europe: GET OUT! It was better before the 1950s, when not a single Muslim lived on that continent.

Spain
Spain was ruled by Muslims up until the Reconquista around, what, the 11th century and they were some of the most enlightened peoples in the world.
No Muslims in Europe until the 1950s. Pleh.

Exactly, and Sicily
Where Muslims have left the most gorgeous art, and somehow still inprint the local culture.

You're not even a European..
it's people like you that give the US such a bad name. You wonder why Europe always seems to be pissed off with you?
Please, take your ignorance and racial hatred somewhere else.

You make me laugh. A lot.
You seriously have to be joking
Do you actually believe that every single Muslim fits your ignorant stereotype? Have you personally interviewed every single Muslim in Europe about Ilan Halimi? Somehow I don't think so.
I really don't know what to say. I'll choose to believe that you're being deliberately obtuse to get a rise out of the board.

I just think it's not fair that Muslims kill Jews. Europe isn't like the USA, Canada, Australia, Brazil, or Argentina. They're not supposed to be nations of immigrants.
Why can't Muslims be happy around their own kind? Why do they have to make Europeans' lives miserable by living there and committing ALL the crimes?

I've lived in Europe all my life and I've never noticed all these Muslims running around raping women, murdering Jews and committing all possible crimes. How dare you speak like this of an area you don't know at all? MY life is certainly not made miserable by Muslims.
And why isn't Europe "supposed" to be a "nation of immigrants"? It wasn't, it's becoming one, things change, anyway you're not from Europe what do you know or care?
Oh, actually Europe can't be a nation of immigrants because it's not a nation, it's a continent. So I don't know how you can speak about it without even knowing that.

Maybe you should tell Bosnian Muslims that they should leave their country!!(m)
I'm European and I don't have a problem with 'our' Muslims, so why should you!?
You've obviously never been to Europe or met any Muslims if you can speak like that.
Good to know whose messages I'll not be responding to in the future.

Oh my GOD
Do you have ANY idea how idiotic you sound?
1. European countries have immigrants because they have CHOSEN to have immigrants. That's up to THEM, not you.
2. All sorts of people commit all sorts of crimes. Prejudice like yours results in people being blamed for crimes they did not commit.
3. This is EXACTLY the kind of thing people used to say about the Jews before the Holocaust, so I'd think very carefully about who you're prepared to pity and who you're prepared to blame.
4. I think the Australian Aboriginal population along with the native peoples of other countries might have something to say about your assumption that migrating to THEIR land is okay.
5. You're American. What on Earth gives you the right to believe that you can tell Europeans how Europe should be? Your arrogance is so staggering that there is no word for it.
6. Erik isn't an American spelling. By your logic that's an appalling breach of cultural boundaries, so I expect you will be changing it to Eric asap?
7. You know South-Eastern Europe? Full of white, European Muslims. Not immigrants, not recent converts, but genuine, original, dedicated, naturally Muslim Europeans. Whole COUNTRIES of them, with far more right to live in their country than you ever had to live in yours.

Well said! I hope he gets banned. That would make me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Please find me some statistics...(m)
That show that every single crime in the entirety of Europe was commited by a person who is Muslim.
Thanks.

You know what....
It is Americans like you that give your whole country a bad name. Don't get me wrong in this post- I have spent time in the US, I love the country and I love the people- but if I said that to a lot of people here in Europe or even back home in Australia I would get laughed at. And that is because a lot of the world are stereotyping your nation as ignorant bigots who run their mouth off about things they have know clue about- much like what you are doing against nearly 1/3 of this world who consider themselves Muslims.
Honestly- don't you understand that it was ignorance, fear and stereotyping that led to the Holocaust? It is the same thing happening all over again...and we swore 60 years ago never again.
People like you make me sad.

Was that directed at me?
Because it was under my post. If so, I'm not entirely sure what gave you that impression but I'm really sorry and that's not what I think at all.
