andy-hughes, //I know that what I have said is correct, and anyone reading the thread will agree with what I have put. //

‘Anyone’ is an exaggeration. I’ve read the thread and I don’t agree with you. I think you’re deliberately making a mountain out of a molehill – and side-tracking the thread in the process.

//If you wish to compound your ignorance, then that is your choice. //

Haaaaa! How very highfalutin! :o)

[andy-hughes]

Since the link in the OP is a newspaper story, I hardly think that commenting on it is making anything out of anything.

But if you want to make your daily obsession with a Muslim takeover the thrust of the debate, then you go right ahead. My point was about the inaccuracy of the newspaper reporting, but because you have to have Muslims as the bad guys, you must insist on ignoring the valid points I have raised.

And of course. you must have the last word.

Fine – whenever you are ready …

Andy > My point was about the inaccuracy of the newspaper reporting...

...but does the situation in Dortmund highlight a concern in the way that I,Naomi,New Judge and Divebuddy, for example, have commented?

When we are out of the EU will it be any of our business?

[fiction-factory]

Maybe a separate thread is needed about whether the statistics you quote for Dortmund have any major significance.
I think it has already been established that the Express headline was a misrepresentation of the truth, the article was muddled and the headline of the thread was misleading and inaccurate.

The spread of Islam is the business of ALL of Europe.

I borrowed the headline.

[fiction-factory]

Was that to anyone in particular please, divebuddy, as I missed the significance of crosswords to this thread

[fiction-factory]

I don't remember saying anything about enjoying it or mentioning anything here about crosswords, but I have been out at work all day and maybe someone else posted on here about crosswords for some reason I immediately follow.

Merkel's policy allowed 1m migrants into the country. She is only now seeming to grasp the enormity of her folly.

I think we have seen and read enough to realise the significance of her decision to the country itself rather than just in Dortmund.

If you have an unbalanced view fed by the fear-driven drip drip drip of racism from the right-wing media, then probably it does.

Personally, I don’t, which is why I didn’t comment on that aspect of the OP.

Indeed - but as the thrust of argument from the usual contributors proves - it certainly had the desired effect!

This earlier post from NJ is worth reiterating:-

"As I said in my earlier answer (and in my answers to the "German Islam" question) people need to understand what is happening across Europe. The changes that are constantly highlighted are always dismissed as either of no relevance or too insignificant to worry about or simply lies drummed up by an anti-Islamic press."

Corporal Frazer had it right.

Ag, and still the denials of the wilfully unsighted persist. I avoided your thread early doors because I knew that the usual "suspects would be in force Ad Nauseam. If only they were as prepared to listen to genuine concern, as they are to false assurance, it would not be so exasperating.

^ do you mean Private Frazer or Corporal Jones, Jourdain? ;o)

I'm thinking of Sgt Wilson here, along the lines of : 'Would you awfully mind not discussing those Muslims, there's a good chap'...

[jourdain2]

No, I'm with 'We're doomed, all doomed! DOOMED I tell ye!'
