1 in 5 Syrians say Islamic State is a good thing

Lol, no it's not. It's a desolate, barren place with nothing but some skyscrapers on the coast. If you go during ramadan then you can't even have water outdoors/out of the airport. Why the hell would anyone want to live in a ****hole like that? The only reason anyone lives there is because of its oil and gas wealth.

forgot to mention the tax free benefits, clearly you know it well.

Ahem.

They could think IS are a force for good but are fleeing Syria to escape Assad.

If they are fleeing because of Assad, why didn't they flee earlier when Assad was in full control of Syria? Assad had been abusing his country's citizens long before ISIS turned up and people started to flee, surely ISIS supporters would be more likely to stay now, since ISIS has a lot more control over the country, not Assad.

Muslims have tried to invade Europe before and failed and they will fail again

In the UK muslims are about 5% and already most people are unhappy about it and the demands being made to tolerate outright intolerance so your one in for claim is nonsense it's about 1 in 20

This is not going to get better and will only get worse. Just don't act all surprised when it goes pear shaped.

as I said at some point the people of this country will react and it's not going to be pretty.

Replace Muslim for "jew" and you sound like someone from the 1920's..

When was the last time you heard of Jews murdering and raping their way across countries, bombing, kidnapping and beheading?
And don't give me some dumb argument about Palestine because you cannot compare self defence against rockets to the actions in Syria and Iraq.

As I said - one person.
Extremist rabbis don't count - if we were to count intolerant Muslims then we'd count a lot more than if we counted those actively involved in extremist activity.

You admit though that currently, hardline Islamists are more of a danger than Jews.

But only if you completely ignore the issues with the muslim world and the problems Islam is currently causing then yes perhaps you are right

but as the situations are not comparable it would be a strange comparison to make

However it would be the same if in the 1930's (a bit more recent than roman times :biggrin:

) you replace 'muslim' with 'Nazi' in those discussions and this WOULD be more comparable (of course not all muslims are blood thirsty idiots but then not all Germans were either as we know it was only a 'minority' with a chunk of tacit support if not for the methods then for the goals of the party)

I can see no difference can you?
