    Remind me when the Islamist Jihadist party wins multiple seats in the UK, forms a coalition government with the---Lib Dems? Then they proceed to brainwash Nick Clegg (that poor b*stard does seem to align with a bunch of unsavory characters, present government being the example), and then, they well, suspend democracy.

    Comparatively speaking, groups like the Front National and Golden Dawn are MUCH further along, if you want to worry about the creeping Nazi movement.

    Ah, the same old bitter ATW.

    damn, man. I thought we were having a discussion of ideas for once.

    Oh well. See ya later!

    Le président d'honneur du Front a également cité cette phrase attribuée à de Gaulle, (présente dans le livre d'Alain Peyrfitte, C'était de Gaulle) : "nous sommes quand même avant tout un peuple européen de race blanche, de culture grecque et latine et de religion chrétienne ". Il a par ailleurs fustigé "l'immigration-invasion", les "collabos et les traîtres" de cette même invasion et "les pesanteurs [de l'école] causées par les r****ds des enfants issus de l'immigration ".

    "We are above all else, a white European race, of Greek and Latin culture, and of Christian values. I condemn the immigration-invasion, and the collaborators and traitors that have allowed this invasion. I condemn the burdens placed on our educational system caused by the failures of the children of immigration."

    -Jean-Marie Le Pen

    You know, the guy who made it to the second runoff in the French presidential elections of 2002? And is now the honorary member of a Front National that garnered 18% of the popular vote.

    The Nazis started with 2.6% of the popular vote. The jihadists to my knowledge are at 0% or close to it.

    If one wants to make fear and create wildly disproportionate comparisons to Nazi Germany (which is pretty much when you lose every debate, but regardless), then perhaps their ideological descendants merit a lot more worry than the unorganized and ridiculous jihadists.

    Why do you artificially restrict the geographical region you are looking at to Europe?

    Clearly, Islamists have been on the upswing in the Middle East, South Asia and Northern Africa.

    Some of this is carrying over to Europe (threat of terror attacks, attacks on Europeans working/living in these countries, extremists spreading their hatred within Europe and terrorizing people within Europe, like in the news quoted in the OP).

    You only care about wildfires that start in Europe?

    Not sure what there is to debate is here. Yep, extremists are bad, and here's an example of it. Unless you propose some magical measure to ban extremism, the best we can do is recognize and vocalize that they are bad. Not sure why we have to categorize which ones are worse, and get heated over it.

    Agreed, just ask Northside Intern why he is unsuccessfully trying to use these diversionary tactics, other than to garner some attention from his mentor and unreachable idol ATW.

    If you think a fundamentalist Sharia law platform party of Muslims has a chance of winning power in Western Europe, you've lost touch with reality.

    They have just won power in Egypt. And this has implications for Europe. If you don't realize this, you have lost touch with reality.

    Whoever is in control in Egypt has implications in the United States as well, but those implications have zero to do with their ability to take control either in the United States or Great Britain.

    If you're comparing the govts. now in Western Europe with the horrible dictator who was in control of Egypt, then you've lost touch with reality.

    What are you even talking about? Why are you and Northside Storm arguing about a short-term ability of these people to take control in the USA or Great Britain? It's like you are throwing up some idiotic statement, then argue against it, just to distract from the actual thread topic.

    I am not. Where do you get these hallucinations from?

    I never realized any of those countries were in Western Europe.

    I never realized that you lack reading comprehension.

    Oh wait...I did realize that.

    Europeans are soft, especially Western Europe... Try doing that in the American South and see what happens.

    Describe, in detail, the implications of the current political situation in Egypt and how it affects Europe.

    Even if that wasn't embarrassing enough for you:

    Iran - Revolution caused by...? America
    Afghanistan - Situation caused by...? America trying to divide support for the USSR by training the extremists and given them arms.
    Saudi Arabia - 'Royal Family' is in power because Britain did not want a single large Arab country. Read about the British support of the Hashemites and the Saud families after World War I.

    You'll praise Western democracy but you won't denounce their foreign imperialism, which makes you a completely out of touch with reality.

    Interesting. So that would not be a nightmare for you (regardless of hair color)?

    Kid - I have seen you make your posts without thinking much about them.

    Please do us a favor and reflect a bit before you post.

    The part you left out:

    Of course, Hydhypedplaya, the guy who got a sweet hotel deal from a fellow BBS member and then acted like a major league jerk in that hotel, does not have the intellectual capability to process the bolded part of the post.
