The fires in Israel have made the headlines in the past few days - and thankfully it looks like the worst is over now. It has been interesting reading and watching the coverage of this event - which has affected Jewish and Arab Israelis both, and had a number of political twists and turns. Firstly, ...

^excellent point Caps - I think you've managed to convince me. There is the small issue of the fact that Muslims come in all colours, shapes and sizes. Hmmm... I know - why don't we get them to sew badges of a bomb to their clothes so that everyone can identify Muslims and make it easier for the Pol...

I refer you to an earlier thread: http://www.dubaiforums.com/dubai-politics-talk/handy-guide-for-posters-perspective-t44200.html I say this, because your track record when it comes to Dutch people of Morrocan extraction has been one of gross exageration and sometimes even fabrication: More in depth ...

^Not only that - but you also run the risk of looking like a Saudi or a Brit and just going about your business - imagine if you were, say, Brazilian called Menezes and decided to take the underground one day and some guys 'thought' you were a 'Muslim'... BM - let's look at the evidence.. Terrorism ...

Someone should tell these guys that gays are being chased out of the Netherlands - they seem to think that this is the MOST gay-friendly country in the world: Top 10 Gay Friendly Places to Live http://www.suite101.com/content/top-10-gay-friendly-places-to-live-a81257 But I'm intrigued about this new...

So an Egyptian waiter agrees with Rabbi Yusef :shock: - what ever next? Perhaps we'll now get quotes from Kazakhstan toilet cleaners who agree with Geert Wilders? ;) (Not that I have anything against Kazakhstani toilet cleaners and Egyptian waiters - they are probably better informed that Pamela Gel...

BM - do you support the BNP? :shock: Capiscum - slightly off topic - but you do realise that the 0.4% of terrorist acts committed by Muslims in the EU refers to official Europol statistics and is what is relevant when talking about stop and search in the UK? Listing insurgent attacks in Pakistan and...

Another piece of news from the USA detailing anti-Semitic attacks against a synagogue - half a dozen attacks recently. The good thing is that the Muslim community is living peacefully with their Jewish neighbours and expressing more than sympathy - making the point that intolerance towards Jews lead...

Herve - did you read the Europol report? The terrorist attacks in France and Spain etc were very real and the Europol stats are accurate and detailed. Here's the link again: http://www.dubaiforums.com/dubai-politics-talk/terrorism-the-facts-t41918.html Only 0.4% of the attacks in Europe were carried...

Interesting development reported in Haaretz today - apparently the Israelis may yet apologise for the 'Pirates of the Med' incident - AND pay compensation :shock:. This follows Turkey sending help to Israel to tackle the Carmel fires. However, it remains to be seen whether this actually happens and ...

Argentina has joined Brazil, and Uraguay says it will do the same next year. Israel, predictably, isn't happy. Argentina joins Brazil in recognition of Palestinian state Argentine President sends Abbas letter stating it recognizes Palestine defined by 1967 borders; Uruguay says it will recognize Pal...

May I suggest you look up what the attacks listed consist of then, before you comment further? The point of the statistic (and the report linked) is that there is a gap between the perceived risk of terrorist acts by Muslims and the reality. Just look at the stats for France - that should be easy fo...

A piece from the Washington post about FBI entrapment techniques and how in one particular case the guy they put undercover is now suing the FBI (after earning over $170k in 15 months). Contrary to perceptions that Muslims don't do enough to counter extremists in general, and Muslim jihadists preach...

"Racism originated in the Torah," said Rabbi Yosef Scheinen.. Top rabbis move to forbid renting homes to Arabs, say 'Israel belongs to Jews' Dozens of Israel's municipal chief rabbis signed on to the ruling, which comes just months after the chief rabbi of Safed initiated a call urging Jew...

It is hard to see how anyone will stop China being number one in pretty much any field it wants to be. Tech transfer restrictions will only slow down the rise of the world's natural super-powers. I used to argue that China would be number one in less than 50 years (saying this since the 90's) - I've...

Looks like the Rabbi is dis-associating himself from the article eh quoted: Dear Loonwatch.com, The article that you reproduced from EUobserver.com grossly misrepresented me. The headline and the first paragraph are entirely the reporter’s tendentious fabrication. The quotes are correct, but connect...

shafique

I agree with the person you quoted (and posted a photo of) - Rabbi Rosen and his repudiation of the Muslim take-over conspiracy. Note also, that I quoted the Jewish community in the UK who denounced the EDL as racist thugs. Your attempt to counter this fact seems to have come back and bitten you on ...

^Agree that the question posed is best dealt with in another thread in Politics. The quaint belief that somehow the 0.4% of terrorist acts committed by Muslims in Europe were qualitatively or quantitatively different from the 99.6% of terrorist acts (as defined and documented by Europol) is funny an...

Those crazee white dudes!

You wouldn't find brown or black dudes marrying dogs or goats now would you ... umm, oh, what's that you say... err... oh - look over there, wikileaks guy has been arrested.

TJ - I had that incident and others involving goats in mind when I wrote what I did. The clue was in the smileys

Skin colour clearly has nothing to do with the capacity to do or believe stupid things!

The Europol report is subject to interpretation. Fact is that Islamic terrorism is a far more dangerous threat than separatist terrorism. Why? Sure - we can analyse to death the 0.4% of terrorist acts committed by Muslims and compare them with the 99.6% of terrorist acts committed by non-Muslims. I...

Herve - yes the French didn't swallow the WMD kool-aid - and didn't the US love you for it! French Fries became 'Freedom Fries' - how could we forget. As for suicide planes - as I pointed out before, the last person to fly a suicide plane in a terrorist act was a white American dude in Texas in Febr...

shafique

Now you are biased, or confused, the texas suicide plane was more a separatist than a terrorist attack, LOL - everyone calling this a terrorist attack must be wrong then! :shock: It appears to me that you've lost it now - your beliefs seem to come from images in your head and not stats or evidence....

ROLFLMAO!

shafique

Yes, herve - clearly only Muslims who carry act of terrorism can be labelled terrorists - you'll find excuses for anyone else. 'Nobody called it an act of terrorism' - were you in a submarine at the time, or did you just not see the references to the suicide bombing of a federal building using a pla...

Reason for deleting post referring to Shark attack in Egypt:

[Mod: Deleted as not relevant to Carmel fires thread - suggest start a new thread - I actually like the humour!]
