its common place on universities to have conservative newspapers destroyed and offices vandalized speakers attacked the leftist, secular factalty do nothing or in some cases support the action. in fact its so common now it barely makes the the news - its dog bites man
don't forget the force 'diversity training' - usually a form of idealogical indoctrination "reeducation camps - and speech codes -

i agree about the land, but its also hard to put toothpaste back in the tube- in other words the askanazi jews are there and have been for 50 years -i think we should stop our one sided, grossly hypocritical support for israel.
at one time islam was far more sophisticated than most of the west (Though it is largely a myth we were so backward in the middle ages -that's another thread
) and islamic countries aren't any more or less backward than non muslim third world countries - in other words, when you remove the west....most of the world is pretty backwards. so if it were islam that were to blame they never would have developed the sophisticated societies they did in the first place...remember that radical islam really begins post WWII =a reaction to heavier handed involvement in that region by the US, Britain and the emergence of Israel

treatment of women in islamic countries is generally better, than say, rural india -where there are still isiolated cases of sati, but far more common is female infanticide - common in secular china as welll. to the point where female to male ratios are 700-1000! so what's worse, making a woman wear a viel or drowning them in milk when they are born ?
