Hitchens makes a simple yet salient point about Islam's relation to the rest of the world.

Europe is going to be awesome in 40 years once it's majority Muslim. BTW, what's the welfare rate for Muslims in Europe... 50%?
Thanks political correctness; you destroy nations.

Please actually bring real facts to the argument or stfu please.

Here, educate yourself for free:


Forty percent of the families are on outright welfare, and many of the rest are on various equivalents of welfare that bear different names. Far below half the population is employed. There are reports of a rise in recruitment to criminal gangs — and to radical Islamic groups, too, although none of the authorities can give a clear idea of how Islam is practiced and where.

I hate to interrupt your anti-intellectual parade and your lack of real facts or even non-ignorant assertions, but have you heard of this great new site called Google.com?
Google search: muslim welfare rate europe OR britain


Without wanting to be the second person to invoke your wrath, any chance you could link to specific articles instead of a link to the Google home page please? Preferably From sources within the EU or the UK, thankyouverymuch

The problem is so many of them are not looking for acceptance they're looking for people to accept Islam as true. Don't say anything bad about Islam or else, don't depict Muhammad or else. They're trying to force people to follow their religion by playing the part of the persecuted.

The same is true for all the crazy Christians over here, they're not looking for people to accept that they're Christian, they want people to accept Christianity as true. That's why they try to force Noah's flood to be taught in science class, or want prayer at public events.

It'd be like if gays said that in order for them to be accepted everyone had to take a dick in the butt. If you want to know what someone really wants and why, look at how they're trying to get it.

Haha, anti-intellectual.

I was taking issue with your "once Europe is majority Muslim". I've read tripe like that before in a paper...what was it called again. Oh yah. The Daily Mail. Or was it The Sun. I forget.

Heres something for you to mull over: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1542427/One-third-of-homes-dependent-on-benefits.html
Oh, and before you say the majority of that 1/3 are Muslim consider that the 2001 census shows that only 2.7% of the UK is Muslim. Somewhat less than the 15.5% who identify as "no religion", but I don't see anybody expecting them to "take over Europe". So ok, 40%>33%, but its hardly the case that Islam is climbin in our windows and snatchin our welfares up. Its much the same story in the rest of Europe. Edumacate yourself thx.

Ps. I hate Islam, I just hate this distortion of reality more.
