I supported intervention at the start but now, the moderate groups have become far more extreme and I think any actions on the part of the West will just come back to bite them badly at the end of the conflict

Aren't we all just living in a modern day, new and improved version of a dictatorship?

Did anyone see this? I don't think it's a particularly bad idea. Apparently 70% of Israelis want a referendum on the idea of unilateral Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank, which is an idea I'm drawn to more and more.

Could it work?

I'd say it's far more likely to be a poverty thing rather than race or culture. Look at the London riots which kicked off in poor white areas in cities like Manchester as well as Black British and immigrant communities in London

Not at all.

The Iranian regime is vociferously supporting Assad. Hezbollah has briefly interrupted it rocket firing into Israel, and dispatching fighters to Bashar. Salafist Islamists are gaining strength and financial support via Arab Gulf states ... and the moderate liberal factions are getting f***-all from the West.

The Americans have a neat expression - "you pay for what you get". If you're not willing to invest in the moderate factions; then the opposition will get what they're earnt.

Non-intervention by the West has simply weakened those moderate factions. People were arguing last year about the disparate nature of the opposition. "We don't know who they are" - we know they're more likely to be Islamists now.

Yes. I was making a general point about standards of living improving.

Assad would have to be insane to try send that message, if Turkey attacks it will only be painful for Syria.

People assume that if you identify yourself using a certain set of beliefs, you won't willingly act contradictory to them. It's the same as expecting an Objectivist to not work in a soup kitchen, or expecting a communist to not attend Mass. If they do go against their beliefs whilst still saying they believe in them, you can't blame people for being confused.

Israel, in a sense.

However, they are not really "friends" as such, more that American Jews have American politicians' balls in their hands.

Orthodox anything is usually code for completely insane and irrational. Yep lets riot and cause damage because some people want to be treated like human beings rather than subhuman monsters :dunce:

First of all I have read the article. Your remarks are simply disgusting you say impose the idea that we should not have diversity within communities? I think your greatest issue is that you see Muslims as the media sees them. It is completely immoral in even attempting to justify the killing of thousands of Muslims due to the death of one monk (if that is even true, not just another excuse!). But of course numbers don't matter(!) and if this is true I am fully behind agreeing that the act was wrong.

I feel you lack education in this field I recommend that you should study the life of true Muslims not these so called "Muslims". The difference is that the true Muslim acts what he says meaning he practices peace (Muslim means to submit your will to God through PEACE).

Another point I must make is that it was in fact Muslims who brought light into the dark ages. It was they who prevented the spread of the Plague as the westerners lacked cleanliness. While Islam says that cleanliness.
I have much more to say as what you have said has affected me emotionally but I would prefer for you to study yourself from the scholars as it will hopefully have a greater impact on you.
I am sorry if I have offended you :)

We should just stay out.

Since I presume most people here are of Pakistani origin, I would like to ask just how powerful is the Taliban in Pakistan?

Why the hell aren't I allowed to judge? I have my view on the caste system and you have yours. There is no reason why I shouldn't give my views on something I find deplorable.

WRT your orginal question the Euro isn't worth more in some parts of Europe, in the same way Sterling isn't worth more in some parts of the U.K.
You could say a similar point about house prices and net assets between someone from central London and somebody from North Wales.

However them stats are still shocking, the average Cypriot household has assets worth over 3 times as much as the average German household

Why would you think so?

We'd still be a plurality as we are in London.

And? Our state will still exist.

Yes, most immigrants i have met are hard working people and i see failures of social policies as causing most of the problems we do have.

No, i'm saying its more likely to provoke a reaction over there because of their racial attitudes.

First colonisation?

do you think the american government are a big bunch of power-hungry bully's?

Invaded 69 countries now since world war 2 !! for the greater good...apparently !

I don't think it's specific to Syria. The reasons systems come into place is because they benefit the people who have the power to dictate terms the most.

If you go against what the people with the power to dictate terms are then inevitably you are destined to fail. The only way systems can be superseded is by collapsing from the inside.
