V. n.y. ,   Usa   (10.21.06)
CORRECTION to you both ISRAEL IS RESPONSIBLE TO MOST TECHNOLOGY IN THE USA. FROM THE FIRST CELL PHONE TO ETERNITY. LOOK HOW MANY USA COMPANIES ARE BASED IN TEL AVIV. ISRAELI SCIENCE, PATENTS AND INVENTIONS ARE THE BRAIN BEHIND LOTS OF TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS IN THE WORLD, LIKE IT OR NOT! MOTOROLA, IBM, ETC...
62. Islam is the enemy. Simple!
Patriot ,   chicago,US   (10.21.06)
Soon Europe will have to expel Muslims en masse. There is no other way to deal with the "problem". Muslims are an evil, vile people and they need to be eradicated, as soon as possible. They need to return to their various desert kingdoms. The "Left" in Europe has betrayed Europe and now the "Right" will have to fix Europe and deal with the "Left", they deserve to be punished harshly!!

65. #61 Huh?
magrudis ,   Houston, TX   (10.22.06)
I thought Motorola was based out of Chicago and IBM out of New York... Both companies are huge. Which divisions are you referring to? I'm still confused on which part of my post you are correcting. Are you saying that Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are Israeli's? I don't discount Israel's major contributions to technological advancements. This is one of the reasons why the US chooses to support and partner with them.
66. #37; Most mosques in the West are financed by Saudi Arabia.
Daisy ,   USA   (10.22.06)
Most Muslim countries don't allow relgious freedoms not just S.A. The real solution is Muslims standing up and denouncing terror but it won't happen. I don't have a problem with Muslims in America or the West because we believe in freedom of religion but how about our freedom in Muslim countries? We are being invaded by radical Muslims while our beliefs and fellow believers are being oppressed and killed in the Muslim world. Enough is enough! Ban Islam until the playing field is even.
67. Y; You couldn't live without America or Israel.
Daisy ,   USA   (10.22.06)
Last time I checked Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, was a White nerdy American. You use American and Israeli products in every aspect of your life. Boycott these two great countries and you can start by throwing away your computer. http://www.Israel21C.com
68. what happenned to assimilation?
USA ,   US   (10.22.06)
when one immigrates- yes, one can bring their culture and religion but one needs to assimilate when one immigrates- respect the established rules and culture- abide by the current laws. learn the national language..become legal citizens- not illegal immigrants qorking under the table- as is the USA's current problem- All countries are evolving organisms, but humans need to coexist on this shrinking eath and to immigrate to a new land- one must respect it enough to adapt. and I hold this true for all nations- the USA and israel too. when the jews immigrate to Palestine/israel- they should respect the natives there- the Arabs.
69. #1..it might seem like that but

I would hardly call the mexicans peaceloving individuals who are hard working and respect the law and wish to integrate, it's no secret there's a huge problem with them in the US. I wouldn't exactly compare the mexicans with muslims either, but there's lots of muslims in america aswell, though there are a bit more of them here. not very odd. it's not far from arabia to Europe, while there's an entire ocean between arabia and USA. on average there's about 3% muslim immigrants in European countries. while those 3% do cause lots of problems here it's not exactly enough to call it an islamization of Europe. I wouldn't bet money on it because i don't remember exactly but i think the percentage of muslims in USA is somewhere around 2%, a bit more in Canada. In Israel they're almost 17%. Americans are the last people on the planet who should teach us integration considering you've had hundreds of years on you to integrate the blacks in the country and you still haven't succeeded.
72. America is not the same civilization as Europe
grayburst ,   USA   (10.22.06)
People seem to forget that those who founded and developed these United States of America were settled by people who left Europe to get away from their home cultures and societies. Even the modern hispanic immigrants to the U.S. are creating new and unique subcultures not found in their native lands. Four out of five muslim immigrants to these United States do noi attend mosque regularly due to the excessive extremism of many of the sermons. Europe may chose to culturally assimulate itself to islam but it won't happen in the Republic. American civic life is seeing increase of more traditional ways of life here in america. We'll take the liberalization of our society with only a few changes, but we won't surrender the essence of American civilization. The Islamic fascist can think what they want, but the majority of americans will not lay down and surrender culturally. And as far as the idea of an islamic jihad military conquering the world; I think some of them need to seriously need to learn to read history and technology analysis.

Intedi Nensak ,   Bräkne-Hoby, Sweden   (10.22.06)
You're right. America isn't the same kind of civilization as Europe. It's a system of apartheid light with total segregation and frequent race clashes. Unfortunatly we're moving in that direction here aswell even though it's not nearly as bad in Europe yet. Most muslims here do not attend mosques either, most muslims in Europe are turks. Most turks are secular and nothing like the arabs. They drink booze, smoke, sleep around, have abortions etc. i don't get why americans are so obsessed with muslim immigrants in Europe while they're having the same problem in their own country.
74. #2.....Racist?
sheena ,   usa   (10.22.06)
I truly mean no offense, John. But I must ask why people accuse themselves and/or others of being "racist" when disagreeing with Islam/Muslims? It's not a "race", it's a religion/ideology that various races of human beings follow. So, if you must condemn yourself, the correct term would be "bigot", not "racist". "Call me a bigot, but........"
75. Go ahead call me a bigot/racist
Brenda ,   Indiana   (10.22.06)
but it is my opinion that if immigrants don't want to assimilate into the host country then they should pick the middle eastern country of their choice and be sent there. In America there are hundreds of religions all living side by side. The Prebysterian down the street doesn't want to kill the Catholic living a few blocks over. The Baptist doesn't doesn't want to cut the head off of the Jew living beside him. You get the picture, yet in Iraq the Sunni's and the Shite's can't live together without killing each other. What kind of sense does that make? None at all. Soon if something isn't done we will be fighting Islam radicals in our own back yard literally. The Islamic religion teaches them to kill, to lie all in the belief this will offer them a way into their version of heaven with the 72 virgins or to the Islamic female being one of those 72 virgins. These people don't want to live side by side with others in peace and prosperity. They can't even live that way with other Moslems. What is going on in the world is proving this statement. If they don't want to be assimilated into the populations of the country they are living in, then send them back to the middle eastern country they want to be. Let them practice their lifestyle there in the hot sun and the endless sand. If prices were put on the heads of all the Mullahs and all the religious moslem leaders things would calm down for it is those people who ferment most of the unrest going on. Try it and see how fast they would change their minds and start preaching peace to their people. I heard this from a moderate Moslem on the TV and I agree with it.
76. #65 answer
v. n.y. ,   usa   (10.22.06)
what i meant is that most high tech companies have very large branches in israel such as motorolla and ibm. what i was trying to imply is that the west and europe invest tons of $$$$$ in israel and cooperate with it technologically on many fronts. what i meant is that most computer/cell phone technological parts were invented in israel in cooperation and using usa investment $$$$ and then selling this technology to the west. israel having such a vast brain power is very attractive to most companies of the west since through cooperation with israeli scientists, computer scientists, medical scientists, etc.... they can work on inventing and advancing technology in the field of communication, medicine, etc... there is an excellent web site that introduces the phenomenal medical and technological patents and discoveries in israel. just google israeli inventions in the 21st century. you'll be shocked. an eye opener. also, did you know that gates hires software engineers ONLY from the UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS, CHAMPAIGN/URBANA? one of the best schools in engineering in the country after mit. 85% of students in that department are either jewish or israeli. go figure! not even one middle east student.
77. #74 Point taken :)

78. Americans should chill...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (10.23.06)
If America was "chill", Europe would be Germany. There would be no internet, and there would probably be no Israel by now. The point is, America is a vital country in this world. I agree that most americans are not that knowledgeable about Europe, but the important ones are. I have to go now...got some "famring" to do.
79. #44 is a perfect example...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (10.23.06)
of why we should worry about Islam. Many Muslims feel this way (that they should and will take over). Imagine a world run by Muslims??? Women walking ten feet behind the men in their Burkas, violence everywhere, honor killings, beheadings, militias, family feuds with guns, no more Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanza...just ramadan... What a great world that would be!!!
80. I suggest
(10.26.06)
I suggest you learn how to spell "farming" before reducing all Americans to a group of illiterate hillbillies. And Americans can talk on behalf of the west because they share the same basic fundemental ideologies.
82. In this togather
Mike ,   Chicago, USA   (11.21.06)
All that I have to say is that all of this anti-amiericanism from Europe is stunning. Dont you guys know that we will have your back no matter what? I will tell you this, if it ever comes down to it, you will have US by your side, and we will fight until the end for Europe. So please, to all of you Europeans, open your eyes and realize who your friends are. Like it or not, when it comes down to it, and it will, its gonna be us versus them. So again, please, dont forget who your real friends are, the ones who will spill their own blood with you in your time of need.
83. Europe and the US should stand united
mark ,   The Netherlands   (03.16.07)
We should realize that the differences between the US and European ideoligy are marginal. We face the same threat, the US mostly from the oustide and the EU mostly from within. This makes it more difficult to find a sound solution to the problem in europe. The fact the most European governmens choose other methods than solely violence is therefore quite understandable. That doesn't make us all weak leftish hippies, nor does it make us cowards. May I recall that we also cover the US's back, as our army covers regions of Afghanistan and has been in Iraq for quite some time. Regards
