Actually, its amazing that we have so many Russians and Poles, as they tend not to have many children and often choose Germany, France, Italy, or the Netherlands over the US.
You better read a little more about the Russian Federation.
My statement was accurate. The only "Cossacks" in North Ossetia live in an enclave, isolated from the remainder of the Republic. And, they are not Cossacks. Some of them are the descendants of Cossacks.
In case you haven't looked at a map recently, you may note that North Ossetia is in the Caucasus. It shares a border with Chechnya. THAT is why Beslan was chosen. It had nothing to do with Muslims. Nor does it have anything to do with the actions of harassing Turks in Krasnodar, which is not geographically close to North Ossetia. Those same Cossacks also harass Armenians and Georgians, both of whom happen to be Christians.
Between Hitler,Stalin, and Roosevelt and his Soviet Spy Advisors, most of the "real" Cossacks are toast.
We did already.
The (ex)Nazis brought a lot of positive things to the table, like technical knowledge & skills. They, almost to a man, became great citizens.
Muzzies only bring hatred, violence & dissention wherever they go. Only a society bent on national suicide (US, France) would be stupid enough to allow islam to further infect it.
Heck, even the French seem to be wising up.
That's their plan.
That is true. Most of the so called Cossacks in Russia today are from peasant roots, and are not even remotely Cossacks (Cossacks were not peasants).
The most ancient Cossack army was in Zaporizhia. Many of those Cossacks had very distinct names, and their descendants still carry those names, and know their Cossack roots.
My husband is a descendant of the Zaporizhian Cossacks. Every male in his family, until his grandfather, served in the military, and his surname is prominent in Russian military history. Under the tsars, males of military families were given an officer rank as children, and served for 25 years.
That is not accurate. Wahhibism, or more specifically, Saudi funding of radical Islam, is the problem.
Well, that is creepy... Just imagine the thousands of Seven-oh-nines... "you will be assimilated" /sarcasm off
Actually this is the problem. It happened in Kosovo, it happens in Macedonia. It happens in lotsa places around EU.
Why don't US join the ranks? Jump on the bandwagon of cultural diversity. Get some more and more... Sure they will spare your car some night.
I don't agree... islam itself is a backward, violent cult. It marginalizes half of its people (women) and it preaches hatred and intolerence of different religions and cultures.
islam is at war with Christianity and western civilization. If allowed to take root here it will destroy us. Just look at what a 10% muzlim population has done to France. It's almost too late for them as a nation, but if the civilized, Christian nations as a whole face up to islam we still have a window of opportunity to stop the disease.
You can disagree, but you are dead wrong.
Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Turkey, all Muslim countries, have had female prime ministers.
The problem is not Islam, but fundamentalism within Islam, coupled with extreme political repression in Arabic countries, which has, throughout the twentieth century, been buttressed by Western powers.
Fundamentalism in all stripes is a negative force. I am a Christian, but have as little in common with fundamentalist Christians as I do with fundamentalist Muslims.
There were no problems with Muslims living in Bosnia, Albania, Chechnya, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Algeria, Morocco, or even most West European nations until Wahhibist sects started throwing money at mosques and schools operating in those countries.
And how much money is being thrown at mosques and schools in America by the Wahhibist sects?
I'm sure it is in the billions of dollars. But given the closeness of the Saudis to the highest levels of government, particularly among the GOP, it is not something that will change soon.
So our federal government is aware of, and condoning, the teachings of radical militant Islamist "hate America, the great Satan" doctrine in the United States.
Why?
I should have corrected that - not billions - likely tens of millions.
Why? One word. OIL.
I think you're splitting hairs on the issue. Sure, there may be good muslims and there may be some good things about islam. But you can say the same thing about communism, nazis and hillary clinton. The bad things just far outweigh the good, in my opinion.
The original post was about importing muzzies into the country. I'm against it. I'm against letting muzzies recruit in our prisons. I'm against letting muzzies hold sensitive positions in our military, civilian government and industry.
I guess you support these things? You'd have no problem with this once-great nation being 10% muslim? 50%? 100%?
No thanks... I'm 43 & still can't grow a beard... It'd be off with my head. My wife or sisters wouldn't wear a burka and would still want to drive... stone them to death!
Isn't living in a socialist country bad enough, one trending more and more every day towards fascism? Do we really need more problems?
You have it bass ackwards.
There are close to 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. There are an estimated 20,000 to 100,000 al Qaeda supporters in the world. There are maybe another 100,000 extremists, at most.
Most Islamic countries, and Muslims are peaceful. Jews and Orthodox Christians lived in Muslim dominated Turkey peacefully, and with full rights of citizenship, for centuries.
In most Islamic countries, women are not required to cover themselves but may choose to do so, and men are clean shaven. Women are educated, and have full rights. Indonesia, Malaysia and Turkey are but three such examples.
