Yeah not to get off topic but I agree, islam poses a huge problem in the future for the progression of our society as a whole.
No it's hinduism that's the problem. Lets face it, you & ao85 don't know much about Islam to comment on it or the various regional differences between the various groups that practice Islam. Ao85 didn't disprove anything, Indians assimilating? Give me a break, Australia & the UK just recently banned all immigration from the Indian subcontinent. The U.S is about to kick out almost 10,000 Indian guest workers that have been abusing the H1b program. There is a blog explaining how exactly Indians have been abusing the U.S immigration system and destroying silicon valley,
and their failure record, although it's somewhat xenophobic:
http://www.techinsurgent.com/- read through all the archives and posts, and people will see what Indian society for what it is and why these people should be cut off from the civilized world. Iranian Muslims and various other Middle Eastern immigrants have not garnered a bad reputation or have as much problems assimilating as the people from the subcontinent. Pakistani's, Indians's, & Bangaldeshi's seem to be the main groups that can't seem to assimilate into the U.K, and they are from the lower-mid strata of their respective societies. You can make a similar case for the Turkish immigrants in Europe. But the backwardness of sub-continentals can be blamed on Hinduism and Indian society. Hinduism takes a stance of indifference to suffering and a self-centerdness of which bounties of the cosmos have to garnered to the individual. It's very similar to the Roman pagan cults pre-christ era. You also have an extremely rigid caste system which is the main social evil and elephant in the room, that's a result of how that religion was formed. Hinduism is a collection of primitive customs that have evolved over the centuries in response to the various groups that came into India and changed the social order. One of those invasions, believed to be the main reason for caste sysem, was the Indo-Aryan invasion of India several years ago where apparently an Aryan group of people came in and enslaved the natives and mixed with them.
Some of these original Aryans or white people still exist in parts of Pakistan, North India, Afghanistan, and other Northern parts of the sub-continent, there are pictures of them online, they look almost exactly like white people . Several other invasions occurred afterwards from Central Asia & the Middle East resulting in various religions, a point of view stuck in the dark ages, religions/cultures, unlike Protestantism or Calvinism, disallowing any self-introspection or self-correction due to the various invading groups controlling, taking things away and leaving their influences.
You cannot expect to push modern western societal ideals and western secular thought on such a primitive medieval like society, when the room for western ideals or secularist free thought & imagination does not even exist or is conceivable within the minds and framework of that society.
As for Islam being backwards please, Islam has a much more richer history then Hinduism or Indians. The only reason why Pakistan and India's Muslims nations are so backwards is because it's uniquely an Indian racial cultural issue, not a Muslim issue. Pakistan and India's Muslims are a hinduized version of Muslims. Iran, Lebanon, Syria, the Emirates, Turkey, all Muslim countries, all have much more higher living standards, less backwardness, less backwaterness, more civilized people, and better looking men with much more mack caliber game from what I have seen, then India. It's the shitty Indian culture, people, and society in general that is a prime reason why India is a shithole in the first place. The sect of Islam that's fits the image of the cookie cutter terrorist extremist soldier is wahabism, basically an extreme interpretation of Islam arising in the aftermath of the Mongol wars in the Middle East. The terrorist wahabist sects of Islam are generally pawns of the U.S CIA and MI6, who are using them for their own agenda. The reason why Brown people and Muslims are always stigmatized and disliked across in the media, potrayed in a very false negative image, in the West, is because
since the dawn of time, Middle Easterners and Islamic people were the only race to resist and defeat Western imperialism, western colonial attempts, and being the ONLY group that had conquered and enslaved Europeans on several occasions. Add to the fact that the Middle East is the cross roads between all societies, oil rich, and right next to the Western world and you have a group of people who are going to be made into a target and people pushing agenda's. Despite that, Middle Eastern countries tend to be actually well run and have high standards of living despite the chaos, manipulation, hostility, outside forces, power jockeying and wars that happen in that region.
As for Islam being a threat please, the Muslim Arabs were the first to figure out extensive trade routes between Europe & Asia, and served as gatekeepers between the two continents for centuries. They carried out and exchanged technologies between various civilizations, which eventually led to Colombus discovering America, the spice trade, the invention of guns and cannons, advanced ships, navigation technology, mathmatics & science, all sorts of new tech unheard of in the medieval world. Islam has made far more contributions to the world then Hinduism ever did and ever will; Hinduism still glorifies animal deities, creature killing, blood sacrifices, drinking cow urine, child molestation, female deprecation, basically gory ass aztec-ish like shit, like something right out of the dark ages. The reason why people don't know much about Hinduism is because there is little to any coverage about it. Compared to Hindusim, Islam is light years ahead, and it has a much more tied history to science and trade as much as Christinanity.
Athlone Mcginnis and everyone else discussing about India, I demand that you guys read Robert Lindsay's blog posts on India. Completely eye-opening and revealing to what's going on there and how it's going to take almost a century for that society to progress back to civilization.
