The "WTC Mosque" hysteria, in a nutshell

[Triple Zero]

BTW, sort of on-topic, I read a news report this week on research done in the Dutch muslim community, and it turns out that the most extreme/fundie muslims in the Netherlands are actually the least/not at all responsible for crime among immigrants / people of maroccan descent / etc.

It has to be noted btw, that the statistics among maroccans overall do point out a significantly higher crime rate, especially among the younger ones. It's just that that's just your regular run-of-the-mill higher crime rate among immigrants for a variety of socio-whatever reasons that we've seen with pretty much any wave of immigrants in Dutch history (also declining after a while by itself), and we can now fairly say that it at least has nothing to do with the Islam itself.

Did you think it was, at one point?  Surely not.

No don't worry, it's more that I'm happy with the research cause it means I can point people that do conflate these issues to the facts.

  Actually, Trip, I wasn't worried.    Just wanted clarification, in a very pedantic way.

That was the part I understood that made no sense in the context.

Yea I couldn't really figure it what it had to do with anything. The best I can come up with is a) She thinks that no-one on this board has heard of sex so it MUST be shocking to throw out some mild sexual terminology. (strap ons, oh my!) or b) she is that sexually repressed (or maybe TCC is and that's what she's used to) and is like a child finding out about sex and curse words. Is all of TCC like this?

BALLS!! (teehee) CLEVELAND STEAMER!! (*giggle*) BLUMPKINS! (lolololol)

Her posting style reminds me of on ex-girlfriend of one of our friends, who posts such gems on Facebook as the following: "omg! The Everytown Police are dumber as a bag of rocks" (I still haven't stopped laughing at that one)
