    I'm in Paris now. Came back from visiting The Louvre that day (Saw Tmac there) and the area outside my hotel was trashed. I've got some pictures of overturned, burned out cars. I'm glad I was not near my hotel at that time. Looks like it got crazy.

    Edit: Can't seem to post the pics.

    Looks like they brought their rock throwing game with them from the Middle East.

    Do you still believe this? That violence is an inherent issue within Islam itself?

    Yes - in 2023 - absolutely.

    Is every Muslim violent? No, there is a lot of violence in Islam in 2023… Abrahamic based religions tend to be violent.

    Violence is inherent within all religions.

    Yes, absolutely.

    And no, it's not the same for all religions.

    I generally speak good things about how clean W. Europe is, but Paris and other urban centers are an exception. They're not as "lived in" as American cities, but it's more in line with what we'd expect out of a city...

    According to YT vids, France is a hidden power that still retains entanglements with several former French African colonies. They use their banking system to subvert the African nation's currency with their own though that's beginning to show signs of cracking recently. France's military is no slouch unlike their other Euro neighbors.

    I wish them the best with integrating immigrants, but it takes a lot more than lip service and tone deaf funding to get there. The American system isn't perfect either. Maybe we should compare notes.

    Going to your old reason for existing on clutch fans. Being the resident ant-muslim immigrant advocate. Must give back fun memories.
