As I said: the c’uck posting under multiple usernames. Belgium ruled Congo for under 100 years because of their technological superiority. There’s a reason why most Asian countries were never colonized.
I am consistently amazed by the level of T&F-irrelevant/badly informed hatred that appears on this website. I understand such people have the right, and feel the need, to espouse such views, but aren't there sufficient relevant sites on which to do so rather than bringing it here? And why don't the moderators simply remove the irrelevant posts.
But for what it's worth: What the student was wearing apparently was a veil, not a burqa (the former is like what a Catholic nun used to wear; the latter covers pretty much the entire body and is relatively rare in many, if not most most Islamic countries.
As for "most Asian countries were never colonized", the poster should try studying a little history. I thought of posting a list of Asian countries that were colonized and realized it would take too long, so here's a list of Asian countries (out of 40 or so total) that were NOT colonized (and some of these also somewhat open to debate): Japan, China, Thailand, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Mongolia, Nepal, Iran. Ever hear of the British, French, Russian, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, and Japanese colonial empires? (plus even a little bit of U.S. colonial empire, counting Philippines and several Pacific island nations).
Plenty of Muslim ghettos in the UK. Western values simply don't align with Islam. But they come here for benefits handouts, healthcare and relative safety compared to their native lands. The country is a mess.
Letting in millions of people who have the same language is a trash idea. They just form their own sub-communities and never integrate into the nation.
Paris is legit North Africa. In the subway it’s like 70% african and Muslim.
It’d be fine if the whole world was doing this. But you go to Africa and it’s all native Africans. They send all these people here, which opens up reproductive space in their home countries, allowing more growth. Thus they are taking over the world.

Exactly. Even China was colonized, they had lands in the northeast (Manchuria) taken by Russia, Hong Kong taken by the British, Macau taken by Portugal.
Almost all of continental Southeast Asia was colonized by the French.
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar were governed by the British.
Central Asia annexed by the Russians. Most of West Asia was colonized by the British and French.
on what planet do you live. france in particular is fairly secular in nature. you are confusing their response to islam as pro-christian as opposed to anti-religion. they paint over the crosses in their old national capitol buildings. it is laughable to suggest a country built on assimilation and secularism somehow concedes havens. no-go zones are a myth. i have been to the supposedly tough parts of london and paris, and they are usually safer than here.
france's provinces are generally white europeans. the country as a whole is like 4% muslim with higher percentages in the cities. but the cities are huge.

Spanish and Dutch had maritime Southeast Asia.
China was not colonized. Having lands taken in war for a short amount of time is not 'colonialism'. Japan was never colonized. Nor were Taiwan or Korea
The French do not include religion in their census, so it's impossible to know.
It's hard to believe when you travel to France, even rural villages, that Muslims make up only 7% of the population.
Governments lie. The French don't want to admit that they've given away their country already, nor do they want the Muslims to realize their real numbers either. It isn't fooling anyone but the usual Leftists who believe everything that Leftist authority claims, without questions. You know, the people who believed that cloth face masks stop viruses and Covid19, even though the legal disclaimers on the boxes say the exact opposite about viruses in general and Covid19 in particular.
Or the biggest idiots of all, the Right Wingers who believe tRump won in 2020.

Ah yes, what would a day be without some nice, warm and fresh LRC-sponsored xenophobia?
OP and other posters, you are pigs.
But as a Liberal, I am against cultural movements that are inherently sexist and hyper-religous. I am also very, very skeptical of people who are blinded by religious dogma and who see their religion as so central to their lives that they are willing to reject both science and civil culture in name of that religion.
You agree with me when it comes to our home-grown, crazy, Texas-based, pro-death penalty, pro-war, anti-gay Christian sects. Why wouldn't you also agree when it comes to other religions? The fact that the people practicing those beliefs today are from societies that used to be oppressed colonies doesn't make their ideologies any more correct or humane, does it?
I assume the Left supports these minority groups in France because of the legacy of oppression against them, but how does that make their beliefs any less homophobic, anti-science, or anti-woman? Not to mention that one of my family members is gay, so I can only imagine what living in a strict religious society would be like for them. Hellish, I assume.

A headmaster at a French school has resigned after receiving threats online. This was because he told a girl to remove her burqa in accordance with French law.
Why not avoid all this fuss and just accept you are an Islamic society now? And Britain and Germany can do the same.
