    And while we are on it... Dutch minister of foreign affairs is being made to eat his words after footage leaked from a meeting where he made some interesting points.
    Trouble was that those points were completely against the multicultural agenda so now he has to be force fed humble pie.

    His remarks here

    Fair question though - where is a successful multicultural society ??

    I'm struggling to think of one.


    Just goes to further the theory that if a cat has kittens in a stable, they are still kittens and not foals.

    I can only speak for what I've witnessed - streets back in the UK with Bangladeshi flags at either end and "Sharia Zone" signs plus a recent trip to Lyon where I was genuinely scared at the behaviour of a group of young North African men who behaved towards any female, comments, "pack" like actions - it was like being prey in the Serengeti. Even towards me and I'm late 40s and fat so not a looker by any stretch!!

    Some cultures either have to be left behind or ideally not imported en masse, they're simply incompatible.

    Yes, but it won't necessarily make them dangerous or erratic.......they might just be stable kittens.

    Yes but kittens don't attack the natives or try and implement ridiculous sharia zones and their own laws.

    ELM327 great point but I'd give up - you're about to have that point mocked by the cult defenders, expect sarcasm about Muslim cats or Allameeow akhbar or similar.

    Yes but successful?
    There are social problems in most "integrated" countries. Look at the likes of Birmingham in the UK, the sharia areas in Paris (where according to a parisian co worker of mine, even the police don't go), the problems in Germany which is bringing about the rise of AFD, Austria, Sweden, Belgium the list goes on.


    A case could be made for Holland but everyone is high there anyway :pac:

    Better thing to ask is ...what is multicultural?

    I went to school in the 2nd biggest city in The Netherlands and out of the 30 or so kids in my class, there were 4 Indonesian, 1 from Surinam, 1 from Yugoslavia, 1 guy from Pakistan, a Chinese guy, a Swedish girl, Italian guy and i am sure i miss 1 or 2.
    There was never ever a problem that you could even remotely link to a "cultural difference"
    To me that is multicultural with a dominant western culture and it did work.

    Nowadays there are public schools in the big cities were 80 or 90% of the kids are muslim. That is monocultural


    Nowadays my school has been renamed to Ibn Khaldoun but it had to be renamed after that after it appeared they had been handing out the exams, including the answers, for a few years.
    And supporters of the multikul (Dutch for multicultural bull****) were so proud this Islamic school was getting such great results....

    If political figures like the new mayor of Amsterdam Femke Halsema, who is as left as they come (Groen Links >>> Green Left) is taking her kids out of a black school to put them in a white school, because she thinks it is better for her kids, you know **** is ****ed up.
    And that is so ****ed up about most of these advocates of the multicultural society.... they avoid living in it themselves or escape it as fast as they can, as soon as they can.

    You only have to look at the groen links members in the Dutch parliament, Dutch Senate and Europe how diversity is something that is for the others but not for them.

    No, it's not. It's spot on.

    If you knew that your fellow priest was abusing children, said nothing and facilitated them going to a different parish KNOWING they would start again - then yes, you are partly to blame.

    But they were all complicit, they all covered it up, right the way to the vatican.

    I didn't bring it up. It's frankly a false equivalence as the millions of Muslims in Europe don't speak to each other like they're all part of the same organisation.

    That's not what the point was.

    I'm Catholic and was disgusted when the extent came out.

    Had I known about it and agreed that it was okay, or actively covered it up/defended it - absolutely I should have been held responsible.

    It's apples and oranges though - very few Catholics would have thought raping altar servers was okay but plenty of Muslims are happy to see indoctrination and brainwashing going on in their mosques/madrassas.

    The Quran does however say killing unbelievers is keenly encouraged.

    And again - missed the point. There are "normal" Muslims in the UK who think the actions of suicide bombers and jihadis are okay.

    So very true. If there was no gerrymandering, collusion and anti Catholic mistreatment and witholding of basic civil rights - there would have been no need for the IRA.

    For some to equate an armed struggle against oppression with attacking people on a night out or at a gig where kids are present is plain wrong.

    The muslims are coming bombing the west, where they are not welcome.
    The IRA were freedom fighters in their own country. Bombing foreign people who were not welcome. Big difference.
