originally posted by: JonjonjThe objective here is to promote fear by showing a laissez faire attitude to things that are important to the average American.
The idea is to make it look like the things you fear are in fact not only possible, but in fact seen as normal in other places that YOU consider to be civilised.
The idea is also to make you think that there really is a threat to your way of life whilst actually pretending to at least understand these points of view.
I have seen this kind of thing many times. It is a propoganda tactic. Pretend to be the reluctant bearer of bad news whilst actually instigating fear.
Clear as a glass of water. The logic of it escapes me however, there is no possible way that America would succumb to sharia law in any way I can see, ever. You guys are just not built that way.

So they don’t rape in the West?
So a few pre-modern Wahhabis represent all of Islam and its all about their culture of rape and not the wonderful white west?
There wasn’t a Catholic priest’s scandal?
You live off stereo types programmed in you’re brain by ignorant bigots, that's you're Guide
I guess black people eat bananas and Indians are all drunks to you eh?

European women have nobody to blame but themselves for being attacked, sexually harassed, and sexually assaulted. How dare they dress provocatively and wear perfume! This is really the mindset!

You are projecting the idea of fear onto these people, it is as clear as day.
I am not American either, but I can spot a fearmonger at a thousand paces, and you are basically pixels away from me.

Facts are facts. If the facts scare you, I can't help it. If there is a train approaching I will say "look out, a train" - and that's not fear mongering, that's just reflecting observable facts. You can choose: be afraid, freeze up and be overrun, or simply observe that I'm correct and take a step back.
Also, what reason could I possibly have to install fear into people's hearts? I mean, really, isn't that the most absurd waste of time - being afraid for something that you merely projected inside your head - like, say, the fear of foreigners, of other cultures, of other religions?
Bah. Humbug.

So what you are saying is that by the grace of the fact that you can barely supress your sexual urges, you are not going to rape this girl.
"I don't". Like it is your decision alone.
There is quite a difference between wanting to have sex with someone, and having to supress these urges in order to prevent yourself from raping them.
And though very unlikely - yes, it might happen that England becomes a Muslim nation and the Church of England might be converted to a Muslim church. I sure hope that, might that day ever come, the people will remember from our example that acceptance of minorities is the essence of democracy.
