    The repressive leftist government in the UK put the people protesting for the murdered children in the same jail as the murderer. They lied about his motive.

    I hope Sengun gets back on track not only for the sake of the Rockets but for the sake of the health of the D&D not being spammed with 60 embedded Tweets about the evils of Muslims daily.

    I loved your post...

    There is only the God of Hebrew which in turn is the Hebrew Religion...

    There is Abraham who is the Father of all Religions and then there is his 2 sons Ishmael and Isaac...

    FYI.. for you Ishmael is considered the Spiritual Father for Islam, so for those who believe that Islam is a brand new religion It's not...

    Isaac basically carried on his Fathers teaching which is now considered Judaism..

    There is more to the story.. But I will leave it there..

    Honestly read all of these stories - it just sounds like Europe sucks at immigration.

    They seem to be great at the acceptance of foreigners' migrating.
    It's the, what to do next that seems to be the problem.

    They were great at acceptance in theory - some Western European countries let in a lot of immigrants from Syria etc. However - in practice, a lot of places in Western Europe are not so great at handling immigrants. There are always some degrees of tension with immigration, but the difference between immigration in the USA and lets say UK is huge.

    I will say,
    It had been 4 years since my last trip to Ireland this summer, and the amount of Middle Eastern migrants was quite noticeable.
    None of my wife's family had anything all that negative to say about the increase in folks other than
    "We don't know what they are up to".
    My Irish wife's translation of this sentence is "Everyone in Tralee is nosey". It is a city of Gladys Kravitz's

    Yeah that highlights the problem in Western Europe in the context of immigrants... I love Ireland, I used to be there all the time - almost moved to Northern Ireland full time - but there is a very distinct and definitive Irish culture and lines drawn between Catholics and Protestants - being an immigrant in Ireland has to be very lonely, it doesn't have the natural cultural assimilation and absorption that the US melting pot has. The immigrants there will never be viewed as Irish.

    Oddly my wife dislikes the "Prods" more than the new immigrants.
    Again it's what you were brought up to believe as a youth.

    The Protestants were not very nice to the Catholics in Ireland for a long time - even to this day in some cases. The Protestants will point to terrorism by the Catholics to claim the Catholics are animals.

    I will say that the Catholics in Ireland were far nicer and more genuine in my experiences in Ireland - I often related more to the Catholics. I certainly did not hate the Protestants, I had some friends that were Protestant.
