Parden me for saying "BS" regarding your statements about evangelical Christians. They may be an irritant to you with their anti-abortion sentiments and attempts to legally limit it, but they don't go around shooting up rooms full of soldiers while shouting "Christ is King!!". They don't hijack airplanes and guide them into tall buildings. They don't take prisoners and behead them. Lumping them in with Islamic radicals is pure BS.
Evangelicals are extremists. Only the non-christian laws make them think twice before violence. The evangelicals want power and, if they get it, may act differently.
So the idiot on the motorcycle going around shooting people ended up being Muslim. It only adds fuel to the fire of extreme right wingers in Europe who feel that Europe is being invaded by Muslims. Could we possibly see concentration camps again, or a possible "great purge" in our lifetime? What a tragedy it would be for everyone. I really do think Europe is at the breaking point, it is only a matter of time before they will no longer accept non-western traditions in their society. If you think the US has it bad with illegal immigration, you've obviously not been to Europe in the past 10 years.
It’s only fair that the price is repaid. Europeans invaded South America, North America, Africa and Asia.

Stupidest post on the thread. There is no "good" achieved when liberal, humanitarian, advanced culture is supplanted by inferior, non-liberal cultures, unless we're all content to have humanity's advance in science, education and freedom come to a full stop so we can cling to superstitions and myths and reverse hundreds of years of hard fought advances in human rights, arts, science and freedom.
Not only that, your post is completely devoid of historical reference. Not surprising. History education is a joke these days, rarely presented without political agenda.
Prior to European invasion of Africa and Asia, Africa and Asia invaded Europe.
My ancestors were ALREADY SUBJUGATED by Muslims from Africa in the Iberian peninsula hundreds of years prior to their own incursions into Africa, and had to drive the Caliphate out of Europe by force.
Invaders from Asia and the mid-east also made incursions into Europe for centuries.
The South Americans aren't causing any problem in Europe. Nor are North Americans.
It is too late. The die was cast when European countries began bringing so many into their countries for the cheap labor. Now it is out of hand. Their birth rates alone will guarantee them a majority within a century, if not sooner.
Oh how we forget history. Only a generation or so ago, virtually all of the Middle East was under European control and part of the Empires of France, Britain, Italy, or Russia. So Europe should sleep in t6he bed it so wisely made.

Do you think that plays into why our administration is practically bending over backwards to keep them appeased ?
As someone who lives in Western Europe, I can tell you the answer is 'no'.
The immigration debate here is blown way out of proportion, and that has to do with the simple fact that most major Western European democracies are parliamentary systems, which allows small (but very vocal) far-right wing parties that detest Jews, Muslims, and immigrants to come to the forefront.
Western Europe is still OVERWHELMINGLY white, "Christian" and native, and it is simply impossible for any minority group to "outbreed" Europeans out of existence, since countries like the UK and Germany are still 95% white.
You may want to stop listening to Fox News, and actually travel to Europe.

ANY religion who thinks that they have any kind of right to determine Govt. policy or decide the morals or actions of other people are dangerous and NOT wanted.
If someone doesn't want a abortion........... don't have one but for any evangelical..........please do not presume that you have the right to tell another human being that they cannot have a abortion or whether they can get contraception or not.
I love how if a "christian group" behaves badly they become a "sect"...... NO they are just a radical part of the christian faith......... this does NOT seperate them from the orthodox Christian church, they represent the christian church in the same way that many here have decided that a radical muslim group represents all muslims..... no difference.
I have watched christians in Ireland blowing each other up or "kneecapping" opposing religous groups or christians in America demonstrating at Military funerals or situations ike "Waco" etc etc etc etc.
No matter who the religious group or following, they all have factions who feel they have some kind of right to decide for the rest of us............. News Flash!....
They haven't!

Those Muslims also created the only Universities in Europe circa 900 AD (300 AH) , they built the archtectural treasure called Alhambra and the creat cities like Savile and Cordoba. They also taught you navigation, mathematics and intoduced those funny numbers we all now use along with modern medicine and protected the Jews. Muslim Spain was one outpost of light in an otherwise Dark continent.
