I only...Hit the nail on the head with article JR... I only stumbled upon your blog but it's great to read your thought's on Breivik, and specifically the reasons that have lead him to that position on multiculturalism and Islam in the West. <br /><br />They are views that I myself hold, although I deplore the violence in which he spread his message. And certainly, his targeting of the 'enablers' of multiculturalism mirrors Osama's targeting of the US 'enablers' of corrupt autocratic rule in Arab countries. <br /><br />I truly believe that reasoning behind Breivik's actions will become more clear to the people's of Europe as the problems that the elites have sought to downplay become more salient. Especially when viewed in light of the current economic uncertainty many European countries find themselves in. Added to that the troubles with the EU and the Euro and the growing chorus of Eurosceptics makes for an interesting future.<br /><br />I eagerly await my next opportunity to take a 'Islam in Europe' course at uni to further explore this issue. Although judging from some of the readings I have glossed over, it would appear that Islam was nothing but a benevolent force in Europe's past.

What you're saying is that Muslim immigration is at fault for causing a member of the extreme right-wing commit acts of terrorism, which is like saying the west is at fault for causing Islamic terrorism. <br /><br />The only difference in the cause of Islamic terrorism you aren't suggesting we give in to those terrorists, which is what you seem to be suggesting here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9487055.post-21695302318920111952011-07-26T21:47:59.635+10:002011-07-26T21:47:59.635+10:00Ray - are you concerned that, unlike yourself, the...Ray - are you concerned that, unlike yourself, the vast majority of right wing extremists (perhaps extremists of all colours?) seem to lack a reasonable level of tertiary education? <br /><br />Certainly Breivik appears to have been 'self taught' from junior high school in a country that has a very high level of literacy and tertiaty participation.<br /><br />This seems to be a trait in common with a number of right wingers who perform violent crimes against a 'society that has gone down the wrong path'.

So, speaking of evidence - you're the guy to ask this: what evidence is there that Muslims want to take over Europe? Has any Muslim actually mentioned this? If so, who? and when? I want to get these people fingered & out in the open, just as much as you do. So, out with it - please. I'll check back periodically to see if you actually have any evidence and if you do, I am going to follow up because Muslims taking over Europe is a very serious thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9487055.post-56121607836423181862011-07-26T00:30:46.745+10:002011-07-26T00:30:46.745+10:00"the more permissive and 'progressive'..."the more permissive and 'progressive' a country is, the worse the Muslim behaviour becomes.." ah, more evidence, I assume?
