Birthrates among immigrants adjust themselves to the mean within 2 generations, and at the moment birthrates for muslim minorities are below the national average, and even below the magic 2.1 that's needed to maintain the size of their population. Enjoy: http://dougsaunders.net/2008/09/eurabia-debunking-steyn-bawer-melanie-phillips-geert-wilders/ Odd, given that your own source states that TFR among muslim women in france is higher than non-muslim women in france. That said, your source is more biased than fox news. The description of the catholic church as a terrorist organisation gives that away. | ||

I didnt wanted to get into this discussion, especially cause its highly disrespecfull to all the victimes to actually let the killer get a platform for his ideas out of his horrible event. But since there is too much shit spreading out on some of the comments here, I wanna give you an answer. For your ideas of "clash of cultures": We live in a multi-culti society all along. And even without any influence from cultures of diffrent regions (muslims cultures...) we have a multi-culti society. Atheists and christians have diffrences in their cultures, conservatives and liberals, ppl from the south part of a country and ppl from north, even poor ppl and rich ppl. Sometimes thess diffrences are even bigger than diffrences to some (you might call them) outisde cultures. For example over 35% of the german population are atheists. For muslims, there isn't any single cultural identification-point with some exceptions as you might want to see it(you would call them the "few moderate muslims") there is actually the same diversity inside as everywhere else. I personally as an atheist would say that I share more cultural aspects with some muslim (lets call them sub-culture circles) than with some "traditional christian european" cultural circles. So whats the solution to your thoughts. For a real mono-cultural society you actually would have to exclude (if you are extreme, kill) the 80% other ppl that dont fit your view. The killer from oslo came to a point where he not only wanted to live without muslims, but also without ppl with diffrent political views. Please ask yourself the following questions: What is the countrys identity? Who does fit in, who doesnt? Is it only traditional patriotic natives. Will someone not fit in out of his behavior, his herritage, his views on politics, or cause he enjoys esports more than football? Or is it a "just" matter of race again? I show you my solution: You cant prevent a multi-cultural society, simply the fact that ppl can chose diffrent livestyles or are influences by the connections they have to all over the world, will never get you a mono-cultural society. But what you can do is the following: You can creat a common base all those cultures have to share and hold on to. The minimum part of this cultural base is the law, human-rights.... The next step for this common base is respect/ tolerance and the believe in democracy... All the cultures that come here or are here will have to life after this basic common principles. Well put. I am still too flustered to write a big coherent post myself so I will just echo yours instead. | ||

Night[6], I would appreciate if you could actually show me to be incorrect, instead of spouting a one liner. tyvm Here 5) Patriarchal cultures have higher birthrates 6) Egalitarian/matriarchal cultures have low birthrates. 7) Therefore, the culture in 3 will eventually gain an absolute majority in terms of voter count. You assume that, in the long run (I supose many generation ?), the "patriarchal" culture voter count will rise above the "egalitarian / matriarchal" voter count because of their birth rate (7 because of 6+5). From this perspective, every voter who are born in the democratic society but also from the immigrant patriarchal culture will eventually vote for the same party or the same idea, which is cultural domination over the culture 1 (your point 8 and after). Here is how it will most likely happen : in the long run (many generation), child coming from culture 3 will actually reject a certain number of idea or tradition coming from their patriarchal communities because of the "matriarchal" (culture 1) environment they live in. Culture 3 and culture 1 will merge and the cultural factor for voting will become less and less important. Eventually, everybody will rise together against culture 4, new immigrants ! And the shit will repeat itself. | ||

It may have helped people in the past, but in today's world it's just an abomination doing the opposite of what it was intended to do; bringing peace. I used to think like that as a highly secular person, I don't believe this anymore. It's indoctrination that's killing. Religious indoctrination != Religion The individual in this case was higly indoctrinated in a political ideology, religion was not at fault here. | ||

So if birthrates if France stay consistent like they are at the moment there will be a muslim majority by the year 2300 or something. Well done picking the single deviant case and ignoring every other one. Also, I couldn't give a shit how the author of the article presents it. His sources are scientific, which is more that can be said for the pseudo-science employed by the defenders of this eurabia madness, and there's no need to be nice to people that spread blatant lies in order to spread fears about islam. There is no such thing as a 'cultural war', except for the one that extremists on both sides are creating for their own purposes. People like Wilders (and equivalents in other countries) are doing the exact same thing they accuse muslims of doing: Maintaining their interpretation of 'identity' at the cost of everyone else's. I'm a white, 'native', atheist dutchman, yet my sense of identity has nothing to do with what the far-right is trying to make it out to be. For me, there is no such thing as a 'dutchman', a 'norwegian', you name it. The beauty of the system we live in is that you can take up any identity you want without the state dictating it, and being dutch or european is only a very small part of that for me. That said, I don't want to respond to any of this again. Doing it earlier was a mistake already, and I should have just ignored you. This is not the place for it. | ||

He was an introverted maniac filled with hatred though. He has a lot of traits that fit the profile of your run-of-the-mill spreekiller. No he wasn't. Read the end of the manifesto, his diary especially, and you'll see. | ||

I mean we often blame egoism on so much in society. If this guy was egoistic enough he would have never done this. He did this for an ''idea'' and not himself.  | ||

I already got a few great responses from people way more intellectual than me when it comes to the topics behind the whole situation, which basicly put him also into the "Highly intelligent, insane and therefore immensly dangerous" spot. A few cornerstones for possible discussion: -Such a deed is never isolated. It is highly unlikely that he clicked randomly ten years ago and then decided to do all this along the way. Planning, documenting and executing a thing like this should be seen as a symptom, not a cause. - However twisted the "solution" became in his head, it is crucially important to correctly identify the actual "problem" that, if solved, will make his whole chaing of thought fail and therefore stop anyone who could think that his way is the correct way to approach these things. To make the above things possible it is important that people who want to discuss certain points that could be part of his agenda (e.g. immigration-related issues, the isolation of immigrated people, education, integration etc.) wont be stigmatized. - (e.g. in germany it's quite common that everyone who raises any issue about jews is instantly labelled "omg nazi!" - no matter his intention or point) Not caring about the things he brought up or straight up ignoring them (because "talking about it now would be what he intended in the first place") would be the worst thing any sane person could do. Not speaking about these issues is just the same as collaborating with radical people. Why? Because the people who actually sympathize with his ideologies and actions will talk and act on it. It's very, very important that the people who condamn his actions and ideologies do the same. -In the aftermath of this mess it is crucial to fight any type of bullshitting from the media and radical movements by education and information. Inform yourself and inform others if you spot any type of misinformation. Some national medias already run straight (probably because it will yield the highest profit) all over his Facebook information that he deliberately put there so they will use it. (e.g. the german media is already all over WoW and "killer games" being the actual cause for someone to snap like this.) Edit: Not sure if I should put some of those things in my post on page #1 since it's kinda a personal commentary, though a lot of people right now misfocus badly right now imho. Issues about his penalty, legal issues in general and the how & why are not important compared to correctly dealing with the reactions by the media, the public and your closest social environment. | ||

There aren't any other suspects at the moment, he was caught on the scene, he's admitted it, and his journal does describe his preparations for the attack and that doesn't refer to any other accomplice. There were some witness reports of another gunman, so it is a possibily, but it's also possible that the witnesses were confused in the panic, and mistook something or someone else for the second shooter. | ||

Ah, okay. I hadn't heard that he's admitted to it. Thanks for the update. | ||
