Not exactly, you see on the course of History Islamic Terrorism had just two periods; it's birth and expansion and nowadays.
And the interesting thing is what powers it is enlightenment. This word doesn't quite stand for "smarter", but "more informed", this under Islamic things means to actually know what those books say. While most of Muslims were illiterate Islam flowed more peacefully going only by the parts told to them; this resulted also on Islamic odd sub-sects mainly where Arabic wasn't their language, giving traditions unthinkable to associate to Islam, such as the sex mountain or the dig up of the dead at Indonesia.

The Jewish Terrorism, for an instance, was a reaction to Islam and wasn't, at the best was an overreaction, considering the Islamic factions weren't engaging terrorism but warfare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Irgun_attacks

REMEMBER THEY ARE SELLING TO THE PUBLIC..Not baking cakes for family only..

Now by law a shop as no right to refuse anyone under religious grounds .

Well i don't like hindu ..i don't like Christians ..When do you stop.

So you want to sell to the public BUT choose which people you sell too..

OH they are spotty not selling to him or her..
Oh one with a club foot get out Angry.. Cheesy

Sorry it doesn't work that way..

The fact that they are selling to the public doesn't make them a public service, they still have the right of admission. In other words; if they bankrupt is up to them too.
About your sign, it would be just needlessly offensive, but if you don't want that people you simply wouldn't profit from them, probably KKK or so would use your facility for their meetings... or not and you get bankrupt.

You're being mean to them! Their world is a paradox resembling a bit those drawings of Jehovah Witnesses' magazine. With a tiger and a lamb walking together by the green fields near a multi-racial family, where a black man and a white woman somehow had a Chinese son...

About "facts", the internet is not turning to be the information highway, but rather a disinformation highway; the seek for information created the "studies market", so now everybody has "a study" to verify his claims, no matter how twisted those studies are.

Back OT, I don't know if I would ever eat anything someone was forced to cook... probably isn't a good idea, is it?

In the US presidential elections, the opinion polls had it very close. According to the polls, Hillary had a lead of only around 2% or 3% during the last week of the elections. But in France it is different. The other candidates are polling around 20 points more than Le Pen in the second round.

We're not on the last week before elections, and the polls at 2 months before were showing spreads like Mrs. Clinton 46%, Mr. Trump 39%.
At Iowa, the spread went from 2.5% at last poll to 10% of actual result or Wisconsin giving on the last polls Mrs. Clinton an 8% advantage being the electoral result of 0.5% on Mr. Trump's favor.
So, yes, polls can't predict much and can fail for a large margin. Being FN way worse than Mr. Trump, I wouldn't be surprised if the error margin was somewhere between 10 to 30 pp.

Because the typification of attacks are missing, that's meaningless number fabrication.
This means, in the same pot you put someone who said "get out of here" with someone who engaged physical violence.

@Daniel91

Seams like we are living on a World where everyone thinks he can command others what to do with their property.
You don't see so many non-US citizens asking for Trump to leave?
And how about hotels who refuse children? Or gays? Or lesbians?...

What you said just makes sense in a World where people understands up to where they can order someone to do something with what that someone owns... doesn't seams to be case of this one.

From what I can tell, Muslims make up less than 5% of the worlds terrorism...

According to the FBI, 94% of terrorist attacks carried out in the United States from 1980 to 2005 have been by non-Muslims.

What those figures portrait is "number factoring" by redefining the meaning of terrorism.

But have you heard of the extremist christians? Even wiki has an article about it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_terrorism

Their figures are way too small compared to Islamic terrorism.
Even too small compared to Anarchist Terrorism or Jewish Terrorism, if you want to go through History.

Even some Jewish groups tried an alliance with Hitler before 1939 in order to get Israel from the British and get it rid of the load of Arabic and North Africans immigrants the Ottomans put there, the ones you know now as "Palestinians".
Things were never linear...

There was no talks of a Jewish-Nazi alliance. A few of the Jewish leaders asked for safe passage for the European Jews to Palestine. Hitler was at first sympathetic to this, but changed his tone after his meeting with Haj Amin el Husseini (the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem).

The fact it never came to terms doesn't mean the idea wasn't there.

But still, people tend to look at nazism as bad thing that kills jews, when it was more than that and have some good parts - nobody was so incompetent that made an ideology that was all bad or so competent that made one that was all good. It was progressive and scientific based and many parts of it are still around, with different labels on it.
In a way, if you were living on 1930, the very same way you talk about Hitler now was the way you would be talking about Napoleon and eventually at some time of crisis another idiot-savior will come to replace those two as the "great Devil", after that we will start talk about Hitler more around the Germanic industrial revolution as we do now speak of Napoleon more around the Civil Code and other of his social improvements.

As a whole, would be senseless and dangerous to try to implement Nazism (or Napoleanism) today anywhere, despite the attempts towards it from some groups - and no, not exactly the "white supremacist", despite being one of them, because that's not how it works, that part of nazism goes by "group A" is superior to "group B" therefore "group B" must be enslaved and/or terminated, where both groups can be anything.
It's sort of a literal and extreme interpretation of Nietzsche's "Superman".

The most important part that many miss from Islam, is that the religion itself is the terrorist, being muslims its primary victim.
The muslim terrorist is just a victim of Islam who developed a deeper Stockholm syndrome.
Well, the religion uses negative and positive incentives to keep it's "faithful" in line.

Negative incentives, like killing those who try to leave.

"Enforcers" have a part in the religion.

Offhand I can't think of any other religion that does that.

It's sort of the allegory of the five monkeys.
Switching it to a more on world context, suppose you're a gang leader and kidnapped a group of people. You go by publicly torture someone who tried to resist.
Now from the victims pick a lap dog, dismiss one of your gang members, keep doing this -> establish some stupid rule just "because you can" and torture anyone who disrespect it. Each time pick a lap dog from the victims and dismiss a gang member, until it's your time to leave. At this point make your first lap dog your "lieutenant" and disappear from the scene.
Now you still get an hostage situation, but no longer any member of the original gang is holding them, basically they're holding themselves; that's Islam.

I do spend a lot of time at France (mostly waiting on endless queues - if I'm lucky, otherwise I've to fly back due to some strike - or really unlucky and even the airport got to strike meanwhile  Grin ). I just took a few practical examples from my experience, I would have much more.
Don't get me wrong, it doesn't mean I don't like France or have a general bad impression of it, but the system is outdated and too bureaucratic, mainly faulty at public services.
374  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What do you think of Comunism? on: February 27, 2017, 07:53:35 PM
We had a revolution here back in 74 it was bouncing towards a sort of communism. One day I got hold on the resumes of a bankrupted factory from such time, it was a time when all meetings were attended by workers as "working commissions" to govern the factory. It was pure non-sense what was going on: the production engineer said it would be best to produce some sort of wood that France was interested on, but a guy that was cutting boards at the back of the factory said it would be better to produce something else; the factory voted with this last guy.

The problem isn't if the skilled will vote or not, the problem is that they will be overruled by unskilled. Got the difference?

About the French public service:
- Here - at the winning side of Euro 2016  Grin - sending your tax report over the internet is possible since 2004, no longer accepted on paper form since 2011 and now is even automatic, you don't need to fill anything, unless you want or have other income to declare...  Roll Eyes
Yes, an ATM stands for "Automatic Teller Machine" or a "machine that gives money in the streets". Just for an example, Le Louvre is at the center of Paris, right? Which is the capital of France, so a big city... I was looking for an ATM, from there I'd to go over the river, walk across several small roads for nearly 2km to find one.
Then to take care of something with the public services it all have to go through someone, who is always in Monday mood and took a dozen of lemons for breakfast, and isn't because I'm foreigner, they don't seam any different with natives.
Paris in particular look like had a good infrastructure, at the 70's or 80's, now looks old. And love those plates saying something like "Road under repair, we're sorry for the inconvenience - We must finish before August 2010"... seeing these at 2016, and the working still going on, really warms you up, doesn't it?

I understand that France is a bit big so things may take some more time, but yes, from the countries I'd to deal with is one of the most outdated. Spain is pretty much as big, but way more up-to-date.

Now you're diminishing the meaning of governing. It's not just vote laws. The whole State machine is way bigger to manage.

And no, direct democracy doesn't work at all. You won't get the ones within the field of expertize to vote, but an assortment of useless people waiting to get some profit out of something, the usual politic and those who have time for it. Out of all democracy variants, direct is the worse of them, go read Plato...

Then I wouldn't go a using France as an example, it's probably the most medieval-aged public system I know. Even an ATM is a rare event there, everything goes around "rendez-vous" and overwhelming bureaucratic.

Politics is mostly bureaucratic junk, it resumes to it. We can't afford to have our workers, engineers, farmers and so on wasting their precious time with bureaucratic junk. Plain and simple.
The best way is to reduce the politicians powers to its essentials and let people take care of the rest on their own; this way people will do their own "politics" and without wasting their time.
377  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What do you think of Comunism? on: February 27, 2017, 04:20:03 PM
Of course we can do it.

It's just that it helps people in power to tell us "we're more skilled, you don't have the knowledge nor the time"
While believe me, we have both!

Ever wonder that "nazism" just failed due to losing a war, but the ideology itself is quite common and actually many people does like it - adjusted to their geography?
Even some Jewish groups tried an alliance with Hitler before 1939 in order to get Israel from the British and get it rid of the load of Arabic and North Africans immigrants the Ottomans put there, the ones you know now as "Palestinians".

Let's put it this way, they never engaged or been at war with each other, they're both super-powers trying to keep their political spheres.
