I try as conscientiously as I can to be even-handed and liberal-minded with people who behave or think differently to me but there comes a point where, en masse, as the above quoted poster says, history shows us repeatedly that things explode into blood and violence. The fact that it happens repeatedly tends to indicate that it doesn't really solve anything but it must offer some illusion of a solution for it still to be 'tried' as an answer to irreconciliable differences.
What other answer is there? Particularly when the source of the societal irritation this time (as so often) is atavistically religious, with no room for compromise or amelioration?
Suke, in this case though, it really was 1 Guy trying to Fob his innability to Deal on those around him. This guy's cry of being a devout muslim who was being dragged kicking and screaming ( in his mind anyway) into the sewer he was living in is *********e! I have heard that SAME rant firsthand from both the totally Franchised up the **** and Disenfranchised. It all smells the exact same, like *****! Heaven forbid they should grab a pair and Man the F- up. Admit your faults, stop whinging and Soldier On! God I'm getting sick of Whiners.
Sick of them wanting ALL the personal Freedoms/Rights/Entitlements their little hearts desire without the personal Accountability that PAYS for all that freedom. Just sick to death of it. Perhaps it's a backlash against the Laissez-faire liv'n let live attitude of the past decade.
or maybe it's just me. Yep, it's likley just me. Too many steroids in my wheaties this morning. -vampfeed- lori

I think it is yet another exemplar of what we have touched on several times before ... multi-culturalism is a myth. It simply cannot work. A society has to be cohesive to be a society.

Ramirez I dont see muslim bashing on this particular thread.
I dont disagree with what youve written; in fact I have voiced similar thoughts myself many times here. I was born and grew up in the city you mentioned.
Reread the link in the OP, its defending the actions of some young muslim men resorting to lashing out at the west, because they can not handle the society in which they live. They are not to blame for terrorist acts, but we are, because we allowed the degradation of our society.

We can all be as liberal minded, open-hearted and tolerant as we like and if there is a staunch minority of whatever 'stripe' then you end up with friction and attendant problems between 'races' (which is not where the fault lies at all).
I know that some here consider me a hopeless bleeding-heart liberal (the abusive interpretation of an otherwise good word) but if you want to live in my country and be part of it then be British - otherwise go back where you came from if you weren't born here or, if you were, go where the culture you want actually exists.
Maybe now , but I grew up in Toronto in the 70s, I am sure Ken can confirm how terrible it was for South Asians in Toronto at the time and even anyone who looked different. They were called "pakis" and physically attacked regularly.I get along here fine. So do MANY other cultures. Montreal is one of the most multicultural cities on Earth and we get along fine.

There is a storm coming no matter how much we wish it otherwise and I do not see a way to divert it if we continue on the path we have presently set our feet upon. If you do see such a way, then I would be happy to embrace it because I too believe that cultures are weakened by internal divisions and that such divisiveness serves us all ill.
