You are welcome to your opinion on matters religious, but it seems to me that you have a distinct lack of awareness of a power greater than yourself, or awareness of the moral responsibility you have to behave and think like a decent human being, not a savage.
Again, savagery cannot be solved with more of it.
Like hell it can't!
Did we nice all the Nazis into extinction?
How about imperial Japan?
If you act like a savage what is the cure?
Others with guns and weapons come and commit as much violence and savagery as is required to stop you.
You live in a fantasy land of you honestly believe violence doesn't solve violence.
It is always the answer and the cure to violence, always has been always will be.
Unfortunately, this has merits and does work. A sad fact of human nature...
We don't have to like it, I know I don't, but we do have to accept and deal with reality!
Violence is the only cure for violence, sad but true fact of the real world.
So you would say fight fire with fire then?

Sometimes, it's the only way. If TPTB were to get involved and have the merest smidgeon of a care for ordinary folk, then it wouldn't be necessary.
I have to say that fighting fire with fire is a silly concept in my opinion.
If you called for my assistance because your sofa was on fire and I set fire to your curtains would you thank me?
You fight fire with water.
Instead of creating a greater divide and persecuting people who have entered the county surely you would educate and assist them as to the best way to integrate into society and understand the fundamental differences between the culture they have left and the one they have now joined?
Allow me to retort
Sofa's and people are quite clearly different er.. things. Of course, you fight a fire with water when it comes to physical heat and flames but, if someone punches you in the cheek, do you tum the other one and welcome the second blow?
I wouldn't. Would you?
I appreciate that alludes to an old religious chestnut but times are a-changing. If we are talking terrorism, or rampaging immigrants, they will just laugh as the aforementioned cheek is turned.

Do you not watch the news ? Everhome who questions immigration is a right-wing extremist racist. They don't care about a few rapes, they just want to beat up Muslims cause they're racist

That is inaccurate.
The Japanese by all accounts, were in the process of preparing to surrender before the bombs dropped, and there was no need for the nuclear option to be deployed to drive whatever point was being made by their use, home.

But would you not agree that positive integration and education is a better solution than demonising, segregation and mob violence?

Why not just you know..... Send them home?
It is a known fact they don't want to integrate.
In fact, why should we integrate them?
They have plenty of muzzy countries to go live how they like to in.
Why do you want them in the West so badly?

Yes, of course it's better. In an ideal world, that would also be my suggestion. However, it just doesn't work these days.

I do not lump people together, that is precisely why I believe that action like that being taken against an entire migrant population, and opinion which fails to include CONSTANT reference to the MINORITY of people who are causing a problem, rather than to entire demographics as being a problem, is inherently and absolutely flawed, and therefore unjustifiable.
Now, while we are on the subject, not all Germans were Nazis, but all Nazis had a role to play in allowing, or directly assisting the Nazi government in its extermination and warmongering, and all Nazis have to accept the responsibility that comes with that fact. Furthermore, all modern day Nazis ought to be prevented from influencing their societies, because they are incapable of doing so without harming those societies in irredeemable fashion. These are not points for debate, simple facts.
Furthermore, if you cannot see the difference between an invading military, killing tens of thousands of people a month with automatic weapons, mortar barrages, tank battalions shelling city centres, and what amounts to a bunch of unarmed folk getting off a boat and causing trouble, then there is no hope for this discussion, but I do hope that you never have experience of the difference, because if you ever did, the learning curve would eat you up like a forty foot wave at a surfing convention.

Direct 'community action' keeps my local scumbags under control far better than the police or any educational scheme.
As I said on the previous page scumbags here are overwhelmingly white, but I'm sure non white Muslim criminals have the same fear of violence.
It could of course be argued that all it does is move the problem to communities which are not so strong, I don't care, that's their shout, my concerns are with the community I live in, nowhere else.

They have plenty of muzzy countries to go live how they like to in.

Could you not use the term "Muzzy" please as it is offensive.
It also shows your true colours and I have no interest in continuing any form of discussion with you.

Offensive to who, you?
Are you a Muslim? No?
Then how could it offend you?
In fact the muzzy I work with laughs at it, and says the word about himself. " we " muzzys" don't all think like that".
And flashes his very charismatic smile at us all.
His family is from one of the stans.
2nd generation born here.
Great guy.
