I know for a fact the most dangerous place in all of Britain is Midsomer

It certainly is Bob. When you consider that 3 people can get bumpd off in a 3 hours compared with 99 murders a year in London (population 9 million).

Inspector Barnaby is well deployed. 😉

I don’t mean to make this a debate on whether or not Poland was very accommodating to the Jews, but I’ll go with historical fact on this one.

There was a reason that most of the Jewish population was concentrated in Poland leading up to World War II and it wasn’t because Poland didn’t welcome them within their borders.

I’m sure there were Polish people who hated the Jews like other people who hated the Jews. I’m sure there were Germans that were accommodating towards the Jews even though the government wanted to exterminate them.

Maybe I should clarify that the Polish government at that time, unlike most of Europe, was very accommodating towards the Jews in pre-World War II Europe.

Sorry but the facts are that the Polish government passed a number of anti-Semitic laws in the 1930s:

But the fact still remains, Poles rescued more Jews during the Holocaust than any other nation…by far! And many, many lost their lives doing so.

We need to house our homeless, especially our veterans, before we take any more refugees. And we need to take just as many displaced CHRISTIAN refugees as Muslims.

Every country has homeless. In Ireland, all homeless people have the option of a bed if they wish, in shelters. Families that become homeless are put up in hotels.

I think a Syrian family fleeing war living in squalor in a refugee camp has a higher priority than an Irish family in a hotel.

I don’t know what the situation is like in the USA, but people in Ireland certainly try to use the same argument. It falls flat though; in reality nationality should not matter - we should help those who need it most as a matter of urgency. The homeless should not be neglected, but there will always be homeless people, so by that logic no country would ever take in any foreigners in need.

There are far more Muslim refugees vs. Christian ones. Having as many Christian and Muslim refugees relocated would basically involve relocating all Christian refugees before Muslim refugees. I believe those most in need should be prioritised as opposed to discriminating on the basis of religion. Discrimination never ends well.

I’m convinced Barnaby is the world’s most efficient serial killer.

And the people of Midsomer are the most stupid.

Get out of here. Next you’re going to tell me there isn’t a Santa Claus

My logic is you are tarring an entire people with a brush, because a subset of those people are terrorists. If you wouldn’t tar all Irish Catholics with the same brush, don’t do it to the 99% of Muslims who are good people and want to live in peace.

While it is true that a minority of say 1% or less of Muslims commit acts of terror. It is also true a much larger percentage of the Muslim population are sympathetic to the belief that Islam must be the dominant world religion and that Islamic way of life needs to be imposed on others. I spend time each day reading the Arab News websites each day. There can be no denying that a large percentage of the Muslim population would not employ terrorism themselves but are sympathetic to the aspirations of the terrorists. It is also important to note that 40% of Muslims in the United Kingdom want to have Sharia Law imposed in the UK. Forty percent!
 
Sharia law is not compatible with civil law and society based on human and individual rights and responsibilities.

1 percent is a pretty good extimate of those involved in strapping on bombs to people and sending them onto a bus full of children.

40 percent is probably a low estimate for those who believe in sharia law, and things like those who insult Mohammed ought to be executed, as per sharia law.

The devil is in the details. If over half of Catholics would agree that people who insult the pope need to be executed by the machinations of the state, it would be not too broad of a brush to portray that as a pretty big part of Catholicism.

With over 50 percent of Catholics voting for the pro-abortion candidates in many or most elections, it is not too broad of a brush to say that Catholics are like that.

Add in an ecclesiastical law that is pro-choice, and it would be a pretty good picture of Catholicism too.

I for one want people to paint an accurate picture of Catholicism, or the Irish, or the British, even when it is ugly. Truth needs to take priority over feelings.

Come to think of it I’ve never seen a Muslim in Midsomer . I wonder why that is?

I do not remember that in Scripture. It sounds cool, but I see no truth in it. Christian mercy, what it has always been, is universal. Being cruel to* anyone* is not inherent in mercy.

With 1.6 billion Muslims, that would be 16 million suicide bombers in the world. I do not believe this math to be accurate. It has a feel of being made up.

I see no truth in placing the rights of jihadists rapist over the safety of my daughter, and the young girls of Europe who are just like her.

If that is what passes as Christian mercy these days, I am jumping off that bus.

It is a vile and filthy understanding of what mercy is all about to propose that.

Governments have first and foremost a responsibility to their own citizens.
