Seems the Turkish Ambassador to Austria made some uncomplimentary remarks about how Turks are treated when they imigrate to Austria. I guess those "uncomplimentary" remarks were not accepted so well by the Austrians. It sure set off a response in the Austrian Parliment.
Wouldn't it be a breath of fresh air if we had some people in our own government with the gonads to be as outspoken.
I didn't say be unfair, , , , I said be outspoken.

I thought this was going to be about Austrian economics.

We have gruesome crime here. We are no different. Look at all the trigger happy cowboy Christians murdering muslims in the US. How can we complain when muslims murder Christians after those radical Christians flew airplanes into buildings in Mecca and Medina. After a centry of Christian nations surrounding the muslim homelands and attacking them. After all, with Christian suicide bombers, and attempted car bombings, and that Christian underwear bomber on that Saudi flight, and...oh, wait....nevermind. I guess there IS actually a difference.

Sorry fc23, no economics here. Just a recognition that the Austrians seem fed up with one way tolerance.
I think the part about burying 16 year old girls alive because they have discovered boys says more than anything else about muslim practices. Never mind dissing islam or the government can get you 2 to 6 in a dungeon. From what I understand, they don't have many repeat offenders. I once heard life expectancy in their dungeons is about 33 months.
At least there is one country, Austria, that apparently has had their fill of the one way tolerance bit.
But then again, , , , there is Australia, too. Strange that the spelling of their names is almost identical.
Anyway. They sure turned it loose on Turkey, didn't they. I wonder how long before somebody pulls the video because it may be offensive to muslims.

This is precisely why the United States needs to immediately begin thoughtful, reasonable risk assessment measures to separate radical muslims from the majority peaceful muslims. The longer we wait to do so, the worse the backlash will be against muslims when the public finally snaps. And it WILL happen. Muslims are a terrorist attack or two in the US away from being indiscriminately slaughtered. And I don't say that lightly. If you don't separate the sheep from the goats, the whole herd may be slaughtered.

The point the speaker made about the Turkish Ambassador's complaining about lack of integration of Turks in Austria and the simultaneous condemnation of the adoption of the Austrian way of life by Turks applies exactly the same in the United States ~ one way tolerance. One way tolerance seems to be an article of faith for liberals.

The Austrians are right, of course. And the muslims are wrong of course. And the difference can be seen in the video clip and in recent history.
The Turkish Ambassador was unhappy because of some perceived injustice being done to muslims in Austria, but at the same time was obviously oblivious to the injustices being done to non-muslims in Turkey. More than that, he seems equally oblivious to the treatment meted out to muslims who "insult" other muslims.
Look at the indignation voiced, , , and acted on , , , by muslims world wide when a newspaper published some pictures of something called Muhammed. Listen to the noises being made right here about their treatment, while at the same time a non-muslim can not walk inside one of their sanctuaries without an escort, , , or escorts , , , if it can be done at all, , , and then only when they are notified ahead of time so that, according to them, , , they can make proper "arrangements".
I think the video should be required viewing by every poli-science student in every school in the country as a separate class on the intolerance of islam, and at every city council/alderman and county supervisor/commissioner meeting to boot. Legislatures ought to be the ones pushing it.
Islamaphobic am I? No. I am an American with a sense of fair play for a platform.
