Copenhagen shooting: One dead in deadly seminar attack

[Gus Poyet]

A few tenuous premises there. You've provided no data regarding assimilation, limit the discussion to the Lebanese, and claim they look the same.

researchbank.swinburne.edu.au/vital/access/services/.../swin.../SOURCE1/

Using data from the 2001 Census, this paper finds that Lebanese Muslim households are large and much more likely to be poor than are all households, or than Lebanese Christian households.

People from the area now known as Lebanon have a long history of migration to Australia. Jim McKay identifies three main waves. First, small groups arrived, beginning in the late nineteenth century up until World War II. They worked as hawkers, traders and shopkeepers and established a thriving settlement in Redfern in Sydney. Though Christian, nearly all were illiterate peasants but, despite this, they integrated well. They and their children prospered and, within a couple of generations, had almost completely assimilated.

The data so far suggest that Lebanese Muslims are in difficulties and are clearly worse off than Lebanese Christians.

However Table 4 shows that Christians are more likely to live outside the five main regions of concentration(of Lebanese) than are Muslims

Second, when we restrict the analysis to Lebanese men by religion, Christians are consistently likely to be better qualified than Muslims.

Taking men aged 25-64 as a group, 47 per cent of Lebanese Muslims were either unemployed or not in the workforce, compared to 28 per cent of Lebanese Christians and 21 per cent of all men in this age group.

When posters claim that muslims contribute nothing, leech off taxpayers or complain about the lower white birth rate, they are racist posts and I will call them as racist.

That's an interesting study. Any idea why the study didn't seek to determine why this disadvantage occurs? Aside from the geographical discussion, this was interesting.

the Muslims among them lacked the pre-existing ethnic institutions of church and community networks that had been established by earlier waves of Christians.

I suppose the conclusion is suggesting it's their Islamic background is what holds them back/impedes their progress in a historically Christian nation. As they do point also to Bhuddist Vietnamese also struggling (Christian Vietnamese are doing better than the Bhuddists).

After all most Christian Lebanese are Catholics, so they are able to attend Catholic schools which allows them to be among their "own kind" while also being exposed to a braoder representation of the native culture than their Muslim counterparts.

With your overuse and misunderstanding of the words racist and bigot, I think most will take it with a grain of salt.

Racist and bigot both mean 'disagree with KV's racist and bigotted opinions'

If you say 'muslims contribute nothing to society' you are a racist bigot.

You would be bigoted, not racist. Learn the difference. Besides, no one on here's saying that anyway.

I am referring to this post. It is a racist, bigoted post.

The rise of muslims in Europe is alarming and the cost in welfare benefits is also alarming. You're the master of statistics, have a look at the % of Muslims to the % of most European countries welfare payments.

They contribute nothing and suck the country dry.

If you ignore and deflect from the problems they cause, you are as well.

Who's they?

Who's they?

Muslims do cause more problems than other religious groups. I mean despite being roughly 5% of the population in the majority of western European countries, you sure do hear about them a lot. Same for Australia where we have more Buddhists than Muslims if you can believe it. Buddhists tend to assimilate better than Muslims I guess.

5% of the population

0.7% of the terror attacks

Maybe the media is trying to scare you and its working?

Christ knows what the definition of 'terror attacks' your source uses. Besides, the problems extend beyond terrorism anyway.

 

[CountryRace]

Terror is a bullshit made up term anyway so lord knows

The source is Interpol

Besides, the problems extend beyond terrorism anyway.

Well, your statically wrong world view dislike is justified then

I'm seeing a pattern in those terrorist attacks

 

[CountryRace]

Yet, I have said nothing of the sort and I am continually being accused of bigotry. It is farcical.

In this particular case, I found a statistic surprising and queried it, suddenly I am a bigot and references are made to the KKK.

For the record, you big girls blouse. I was not referring you as a kkk member

But making a s**t joke along the lines of 'if you are unwilling to look at something left wing, as the website mission statement has socialist in it, then I will try find you a far right wing source'

As I have said we when are so happy to throw around the islamstic terrorism apologists card.. cake , eat it

So, to question the objectivity of a site that has the objective of armed revolution and overthrowing the state, I must want read far-right sites?

An estimated 500 people attend burial of Omar el-Hussein, the gunman who killed two people in twin shootings in Denmark

Hundreds of people attended the burial of the gunman who killed two people in twin shootings in Copenhagen last weekend.

The body of Omar el-Hussein was placed in an unmarked grave in the Muslim cemetery in Brøndby, on the outskirts of Copenhagen, watched by around 500 people, mostly young men wearing thick black jackets against the cold and rain, an AFP reporter said.

Disgusting, and you wonder why there are not enough Muslims condemning these attacks.

It's only going to get worse for UK & Europe from here unless UKIP etc can win more seats.

Islam does not work with western society.

Its Denmark. There are only 270k. 500 isnt an insignificant number.

Aside from the fact you have the wrong country and wrong stats, does this not concern you at all? What statement do you think it makes?
