The topic under discussion was this crazy YouTube video which portrays everyone coming under threat from the global Muslim population.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-3X5hIFXYU Roland asked whether it was "undeniable trend, or skewed statistics designed by fundamentalist Christians to scare." My response was an attempt to show that this "Muslim threat in numbers" theory is both spread in different parts of the globe, and a play on questionable facts, figures, and attitudes. Mario responds by raising every other issue (leftwing rally, Islamic radicals versus the average Muslim, collapse of the Soviet Union, its attempt to dominate the world, the attacks on "Islamic radicals on the West throughout the 90's", the US attempts to "stop the brutality of Saddam Hussein and the Taliban", the Taliban's attempt to conquer Pakistan, the philosophy of Osama Bin Laden and Ayman al Zuwahiri, forming a radical Caliphate, the "62-year refusal to accept Israel's right to exist" and Iran-Israel's jostling.) At the end of the day, I am still left wondering how people can believe "the lone voice of reason, truth and peace on Goanet" can buy into this they're-going-to-take-over-the-world-by-having-more-babies logic. More interesting is the manner to shift the debate when obviously cornered on facts. I'm outta here; have made my point!
