It took me about ten seconds to find this source Neal. Google it, there are dozens of sources reporting the same with video and photos.

what was your google query, Pa?. I did google it and found only right wing sources.
Assuming then, that the stories are true, it appears that it's a small minority carrying out these attacks and the majority of Muslims disagree with the tactics. I think it is a typical tactic used by the right wing media to stir up trouble by over-emphasizing the threat.

Do you ever post anything from a non-right wing site, Ban?

Why is that important? I didn't stop to look at the political bias of the source.

Are you saying that the "No Go Zones" are a right wing fabrication?

Are you saying that, if they do exist and are a growing reality, that somehow it affects left wing folks vs right wing folks?


What are you implying? Why are you making it a partisan thread out of an informative thread?

If it is small, then you would think the local cops would step in and talk to the shop keepers and others and tell them to knock it off or face being arrested.

If some folks want to argue the existence of the mentioned that some seem to be developing in Europe and suggested attempts elsewhere, why don't they argue the content instead of always making a right wing/left wing argument?

Talk about paranoia. I didn't see anything in any of the links I posted that suggested political partisanism.... maybe I missed it.

I would assume that unless the threats turned into violent altercations, the cops can't do anything. Freedom of speech ya know!

It's the links themselves that are partisan.

Sorry I brought it up.

Next time I start a thread, I'll make sure all links come from left wing sources.

You could post a few from left wing sources or independent sources, then you wouldn't appear to be so biased.

Media independent sources? Not partisan in any way? I don't think such an animal exists.
