Jonas Salk gave away the vaccine. Damn socialist!

#8 "Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Practically everyone on this site is missing a massive point here. A section of Australia has basically been taken over by a relgion Islam, that is not okay!!! Would a Christian sect be able to take over a section of Saudi Arabia?"

Why the fuck do people compare the western liberal world with Saudi Arabia?! Saying that if it isn't allowed in Saudi Arabia then we in the western world shouldn't allow it is frankly ridiculous.

I live in London, in a community where a good 1/3 are Bangladeshi Muslims. They run many of the businesses. They are the predominant staff in my local Tesco's and Sainsbury's. They are peaceful, respectful people who bother no one.

I moved to London from Ireland in the mid '80s, when the IRA were bombing the British mainland and I experienced the exact same abuse, both physical and verbal, that Muslims get today. If you had asked nearly any Irish person what they thought about the actions of the British in Northern Ireland they would have agreed on many points with the IRA. Exact for attacks on civilians and terrorism on the mainland. If you actually knew Muslims well you would understand that it is the same for them. They don't like American foreign policy, but don't believe in terrorism.

Sux2bu has form for spreading this stuff. Years back he was spreading anti-Muslim videos, all along the same lines of there being no-go areas in Europe, and London was part of it. But I was working and living in areas that were supposed to be no-go areas. He never took anything I said on board, and when challenged for sources he linked to racist websites, and racist tabloid rags like the Daily Mail.

And this bullshit about not talking about what Christians did hundreds of years ago?! The Germans who build Auschwitz were Christians. They went to the anti-Semitic writings of Martin Luther to support their Jew hatred. Jew hatred in Christianity, like it is in the Quran, all comes down to the Jews never accepting Christianity first, and then Islam.

The rise of the far-right all over Europe is against a background of Christianity. I know this personally as I have a Polish partner, speak Polish, and have had to be warned to not speak my mind around certain people when in the country, for fear of repercussions against my partner's mother. These are Catholics.

It is American evangelicals who funnel millions upon millions every year to the State of Israel, because they believe one day Jesus will come back and the final war will happen there. They are the ones who influence American policy there.
Like with the Irish against the British Government, I understand how terrorists can recruit from among the young.

I understand how the actions of a small part of a community can have devastating effects on the rest of the community. I lived in Belfast before coming to London, where British soldiers would stop and search you at any time. Where a pub I was in was attacked by a Protestant mob because Catholics and Protestants drank together. Where the IRA would kneecap people involved in drugs up in Northern Ireland, making a show of being moral guardians, while being the main importers and dealers of drugs in the Republic of Ireland.

So often it is Americans whose fear-mongering on their own continent for political reasons gets echoed by racists in Europe. I can't count the number of times I've argued with bigots about the situation in Europe and all their sources for information are Americans, none of whom ever seem to have even been to Europe, never mind lived here.

Fascinating, though I don't know about electicity being used for sinus, back problems and migraine. Seems to just be a throwback to the time they though electricity was kind of magical.
