The total eradication of every vestige of the Caliphate would be an important step. It would be a huge psychological blow to the ideology that drives them.

Karter - Douglas Murray looks at Enoch Powell's 1969 "Rivers of blood" speech in his new book.
His language handed ammunition to his enemies and provided cover for the extreme right. As a result it has made sensible debate about immigration almost impossible ever since.

Skepsis - You say that "some of them are Muslim radicals". But for some reason you are not concerned.
Guess how many Muslim radicals are too many?

Europe is in no way responsible for the Syrian civil war.
Syrian refugees make up a fraction of European immigration. Of course many young men from Eritrea destroyed their ID documents and claimed to be Syrian children.

Just to be clear I disagree just as much with Dogon's ravings as I do with those he rants against.
This is the problem with discussing mass immigration. For too many people it is all or nothing/black and white.
Real life is more nuanced.
Not all Muslims are the enemy.

Obfuscation Scotsman.
All three variations of Mo are transliterations of the same Arabic name and are pronounced identically. This does not apply to other examples such as Sophie/Sophia and Ollie/Oliver.

Anybody want to guess?
For some years the Office for National Statistics tried to hide the answer by counting different spellings as different names.
It no longer matters. All the variations are now topping the lists.
The winner is....
Muhammed.

How do I quote on this site?
by Nevuela inevery time i've asked this in an existing thread, i've never gotten an answer, so forgive me for starting a new thread in order to ask again.

i can copy/paste the quote, sure, but nothing i do makes it appear in a yellow box like everyone else.

Click at the end of the text and enter a new paragraph or two.
Click anywhere inside the paragraph you are quoting

Why is the white race so different?
by Crazyguy inwhat i'm saying is the white race is the only one that has a verity of eye and hair colors , so what gives?
is it that this race was influenced genetically by a group of pre humans that didn't mix with other races?

What races? Give me the formal names
Conversations about racial differences always end up as pointless semantic debates.
Every attempt to divide humans up into groups is doomed to failure. There will always be exceptions and anomalies. What groupings somebody uses depends on their purpose. All systems are of course social constructs but they reflect real things.
A doctor considering a diagnosis of sickle-cell might have a more nuanced system in his mind from a policeman who has been asked to look out for an IC3 male.
We fear that paying too much attention to what distinguishes one group from another leads to discrimination. It is a legitimate concern. It's uncontroversial to observe that exceptional athletic ability is more commonly found among men whose ancestors originate in sub-Saharan Africa or that people from China are more likely to be lactose intolerant. According to some contributors to this this thread asking why some groups have more variety in hair and eye colour is highly controversial!
Should investigating questions about other potential differences be taboo for science? I'm not certain either way.
