Quote:
"There's Muslim neighborhoods near where I live" - There's lot of ethnic enclaves.
Not nearly on the same scale.
Quote:
"Muslims will take over the country because of their birthrate" - maybe in 100 years, if the planet is still here.
No problem then. It's our grandchildren's problem. Also, who gives a fuck about climate change?
Quote:
"When they take over they'll institute hardcore Sharia Law" - most of them don't want Sharia Law, and in any case it wouldn't apply to you because you're not Muslim.
Stupid. If you visit an Islamic country, you are subject to their laws, regardless of your religion.
Quote:
"80% of Muslims are a tax burden" - doesn't compute unless 60% of everyonei n the UK is a tax burden.
Not all part time employed people are a tax burden. Just the ones who have paid nothing in, claim housing benefit, and have children. Which is pretty much every immigrant that isn't full time employed.
Quote:
"I know a Muslim homeless person who is a tax burden" - I know an English born person who is a tax burden, and my opinion counts more because I actually pay taxes to support him.
The Big Issue seller is hardly unique. While we're at it, she's taking a job that used to be reserved for British homeless people, so that's one less opportunity for that homeless person to rebuild their life.
Quote:
"People use the word 'racism' to mean prejudices other than racism" - so what? If you know what they're getting at, that's enough. Why are you getting triggered by this?
Because racism should be a serious charge, but if it also includes hating on an oppressive religion that itself is prejudiced as fuck, it ceases to be a source of shame.
Quote:
"Polish people are white and therefore not subject to racism (using the strict definition), which Muslims are, but Poles suffer from xenophobia so they're just as disadvantaged as a Muslim who suffers from xenophobia, racism, and Islamophobia" - does not compute.
Muslims aren't subject to racism. They're subject to Islamophobia. And Poles aren't as disadvantaged, since they nearly all come here to work. Muslims aren't disadvantaged either, they get more generous benefits because they are considered vulnerable.
Quote:
"Muslims come from lots of countries" - yeah, and all of the primarily Muslim countries they emigrate from are brown or black.
The colour of their skin is irrelevant.
Quote:
"Sometime a few years ago there was a baby rapist ring run by Muslims" - it doesn't follow from this one example that Muslims are more likely than native born to be baby rapists
I'm glad you think it's isolated.
Quote:
Try to come up with one decent argument for not allowing Muslim immigrants, 'cause you're 0 for 9 right now.
They oppress women. This is in stark contrast to what we consider decent values. If that's not good enough for you, then I really don't know what to say to you. Perhaps you think they treat their women well. I would call that delusion.
