@coldjoint,
Quote:What other thing would inspire entitlement besides the superiority Islam preaches.
Many, many things. Have you not noticed the sense of entitlement that has ballooned in the West in the last 15 years or so? Have you not noticed how the West feels superior to the rest of the world?
Quote:Many of these crimes are done because of excuses and virtually no punishment, not to mention deportation. Europeans have made themselves very vulnerable.
True. And this could apply to any immigrant prone to violence / coming from a violent country.
Quote:And even if this sensationalized story is not inspired by Islamic doctrines, what changes the number that are?
It doesn't, but posting things that are misleading diminishes the credibility of the poster...and when that poster is challenging others dearly held beliefs...some of those others will jump on this sort of post as:
- 'he has an ulterior motive; and/or
- he is so clearly prejudiced; and/or
- he is an out & out deceiver...etc.
...and having jumped on that 'badness' of yours - then feel righteous while ignoring everything else you have to say, no matter how valid. Even intelligent people do this, on this forum included.
Ie. when fighting peoples ingrained prejudices, you cannot give them things that allows them (in their minds) to ignore your valid points.
