People forced and shoved into an intensely overcrowded shelter with limited freedoms holding 50% more people than it's designed to are prone to fights over stupid poo poo? Stop the presses and summon the scientists, no one's ever discovered that before!

I know about the Taqiya conspiracy theory and all, but, you know, I still think a guy who tore off pages from a Koran to throw them in the toilet is not actually a Daesh sleeper agent.

I sincerely doubt the Saudi effort to radicalize refugees is going to get any opposition from Europe's left.

Sadly the new left views criticism of anything religious as a manifestation of bigotry.

How are mosques (on their own, no mention of a particular sect or level of extremism) contributing to radicalization?

There's an almost direct correlation between regions with Saudi-funded/sponsored/otherwise connected Mosques and regions from where people have and/or are joining ISIS and AQ in Sweden. I'd imagine the same is true elsewhere.

Usually these funding arrangements, as I understand it, (often through mysterious “unaffiliated” Saudi-based NGOs) are conditioned by Saudi interests reserving the right to appoint or veto either all or certain key members of the clergy and administrative staff. Either way Wahhabi influence (both radical and quietist) is completely loving toxic and best avoided altogether.

The problem goes way beyond Saudi Arabia though. Some of the most prominent radical dawah/missionary activities (targeting, among others, school age kids) in Sweden/Scandinavia, for example, currently originate from the UK (courtesy of massive shitfucker Abdur Raheem Green and crew).

The question isn't the buildings, but the strings attached to them. If the mosque comes with a Saudi-provided imam and a bunch of Saudi-provided Korans, you can bet it will propagate the same brand of enlightened, progressive, modern Islam that Saudi Arabia is so fond of supporting everywhere in the world.

Saudi Arabia have been known to advance extremely conservative and extremist variations of Islam and Sharia. They literally pay the salaries of the undesirable type of Imams throughout the world.

Of course Ramelow says there was no excuse at all for "anyone tearing up a Koran and throwing it in the toilet", even if that anyone is an Afghan refugee. He hasn't had islamist militias taking over his hometown after all.

Conservative Islam is weak, but it is disruptive and annoying an is used as a scapegoat among the west's conservative and fascist elements to erode civil rights and advance a police state. I worry about the trends continuing because I'm not a retard.

That said I am more worried about the loss of democracy through the EU'S bureaucracy and the privatization of the US electoral process as we all just emulate models of Asian style capitalism.

I'm not so chill about abandoning generations of people an women to the mercy of cultural ghettos when simple legislative moves against anti social religious schools or banning clerics advocating terrorism/violence would likely be helpful to their situation.

That said, the private sector and ultra nationalists would love for islamic radicalism to persist or get worse.

If attacks persist too they will energize an fuel recruitment of anti islamic hate groups. Why would simply restricting saudi influence be bad for the Muslim community?

Germany already discriminates against scientology, I don't imagine it would be too controversial to suspend religion status if it advocates violence against apostates or homosexuals or anyone for that matter.

Or simply expand hate speech laws to protect gender equality. I mean the only people who I can imagine suffering from legislation like that are fundie christians jews an muslims.

Restricting the proliferation of bad ideas is something that has been done successfully, just look at how Americans view communism for an example of this.

Honestly, if your country in 2015 is full of cultural decay to the point where you actually pass legislation criminalizing criticism of foreign religions then you deserve to have your society assfucked into oblivion by theocrats taking advantage of it.

Alright tumblrina I think we've found your ruling ideology an it involves a reductionist oversimplification that revolves around race issues.

The Boston bombers not really fitting the racial prerequisites or the thousands of whites looking to join a global struggle in Syria, I think the fact that you are incapable to see the multiracial dimension of Islamic terrorism has more to do with you than reality has presented.

I would say the process of profiling is something not really altered by the Patriot act or prism or any of the new forms of an all seeing government. Collecting all data from everyone an making it indexable by a search engine is the structure, not some simplified race issue.

This is actually wrong. Liberal traditions in Europe are gradually going to be replaced by conservative Islam in the coming decades. The deathbed demography of native Europeans compared to birthrates of Muslims (not including the millions immigrating every year) along with the latter refusing to assimilate in droves is only a recipe for disaster. Professors across Europe are openly calling for sharia along with unapologetic blowhards like this and this who suffer no consequences for preaching violence & hate. Conservative Muslims genuinely do not give a gently caress about accusations of homophobia, misogyny, etc. directed towards them or identity politics in general. They openly say time and again day after day that only God's laws matter, not man's. They're taking advantage of "hate speech" laws and academia terms like "Islamophobia" to silence the few who actually do speak out; if they haven't been silenced by other white liberals in denial already (violence has notoriously been used as well). Europe is hosed. Its going to be superseded by Islam in our lifetimes, and they deserve it for being so naive. Nations such as Russia, China, Japan, et al. are already cracking down on immigration policy and border security as a response to this, and who can blame them.
