$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Gorm', 'Y')es and no, there are a lot of muslim immigrants yes. However, crime/rape is not that big of a problem. Swedes are not blaming themselfs no, if they have not done it. Why would we? Strange question?
There are problems of diffrent kinds of course, but i´m not to worried. Peak oil is so mutch bigger than the petty problems of today.
Thanks! I only asked the second question, because in a lot of countries, like France, they seem to blame bad immigrant behavior as being the fault of the host country not being welcoming enough, and not as much on the part of immigrants failing to adapt.
There is a Muslim cultural tendency to view women who are not virgins before marriage as basically whores. This can be illustrated by the recent outrage in Egypt over a product that women can buy (simulated hymen with fake blood) that will fool a new husband into thinking they were a virgin.
Since Western women are not as "chaste" on average as "good" Muslim women (and from Muslim religious perspective, often dress the part), I am skeptical as to what Muslim male attitudes are towards them, and I am curious as to whether the attitudes get acted upon or not.
I do know in the US that racial/cultural violence reporting tends to be one-sided. I.e. the teenage black girl who was gunned down by a Korean shopowner in Los Angeles because mistakenly thinking she was shoplifting contributed to the LA riots that came after Rodney King.
You don't hear as much about black-on-white, or black-on-Asian violence here, and it typically isn'tn considered racially motivated (even if it might be) The political-correctness filter is in place in American media, and I can only expect the political-correctness filter is even stronger in Europe.
The Kiriwina tribespeople of the Trobriand Islands have a word ''mokita'' which basically means ''the truth everybody knows but nobody speaks''.
An ideology is by definition not a search for TRUTH-but a search for PROOF that its point of view is right
Equals barter and negotiate-people with power just take
You cant defend freedom by eliminating it-unknown
Our elected reps should wear sponsor patches on their suits so we know who they represent-like Nascar-Roy
