When I was in London over the past week, I ventured over to a beer fest out in Bethnel Green which is an East End neighborhood where a lot of the lower income housing is. It's one thing to read in the paper about the abundance of veils in Europre these days; it's another thing to see it in person.
I'm sure the veils were scary.
Yes, very scary. When I see the veils and burkas at my local Target in Northgate I get very scared and terrified as well.
Shaking and about to vomit.
Looks like we got a case of reciprocal whoooooshing going on here I suppose.
To clarify: veils don't scare me, rather I was simply offering an observation about walking around the back streets of a borough in London where there is an abundance of Muslim residents. In this case 50% of the population in that borough.
I walked through a Muslim Temple in India. Where it was 100% of people Muslim and everyone praying to Allah and in awe of the temple. They come from all over India to visit that Temple, it's a big deal to them and we had a crazy trek just to get there, we swapped vehicles like 3 times. We had to take off our shoes as pay someone 100 rupees to watch them (like $2 at the time). We also walked around the area some in the process. Would you rather walk around there or stroll through some neighborhoods in South Central LA?
Sounds like you were in a Sikh temple. Muslims pray in mosques.

This is a silly question. Were in the same scenario as you describe I would not have felt scared in the least. But I can also guarantee you that the majority of those worshipers would have held illiberal world views that I loathe and that's really the crux of the matter. Islam is a "traditional" culture forced to come to grips with the modern world in a very short period of time. It took the Christian West centuries and a hell of a lot of bloodshed to "modernize" itself. How successful Islam will be with this project remains to be seen.
It's the fucked up culture in the middle East, not the religion itself. Yes there are wackos that kill in he name of Allah. But there is a billion other peaceful Muslims in the world. Just like the are wacko Christians. Wacko atheists, etc.
This dude never lived in the middle East.
Do I have to go over the children in Iraq laughing and playing soccer, but using live puppies as the ball again.
Lol yea those worldwide IRA attacks are getting out of hand.
Check your facts.
When that movie came out Tom Clancy said in an interview that he cried when he read the script and saw what they'd done to his book. Very quickly the Paramount execs had a nice quiet chat with him about whether or not he wanted them to keep making movies out of his increasingly shitty books, and the next day he sang its praises.

If you believe in a book written by an 8th century perverted warlord murderer which instructs you to kill and enslave the infidel, abuse women and stone them for being raped, kill Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, gays and lesbians, fuck boys, goats and camels, you are not peaceful. HTFH.

If I'd ever worked with her, I'd have said something about it by now. Several times.

Without hesitation, I'd rather walk through South Central (and have walked through South Central) than many parts of India, and many parts of London. Oh yes.
I got a very quick peek at some of the Muslim slums on the outskirts of Paris ... the places you don't see when you visit. Those places are absolutely fucking scary. We don't have to argue about it; go there for a visit and see for yourself. Just don't go alone and without someone who knows how to get in and out of places quickly w/o getting lost.
If you axed me whether I'd rather walk through Liberty City in Miami, I might hesitate for a minute and pick the India place. But the wrong hood in London or Paris ... that is another matter entirely.
PS: I'm not exactly a right winger either, so don't write off my response to ideology. That ain't it.

No wonder Hondo is scared of South Central
They don't give a fuck about life.
