The SNP want, once “independent”, to have pretty much unlimited immigration

Maybe it’s that it has low taxes on businesses?

Well, that’s usually made out of lamb, so that would pass the Sharia smell test.

“In carrying out the study, they applied the ideals of Islam in the areas of a society’s economic achievements, governance, human and political rights, and international relations, he said.”

A-ha, there is the rub. It’s not about how most Muslim countries and societies actually function in the real world, but about the supposed ideals of the faith that don’t exist and probably never will exist in any actual Muslim country.

Now, who’s up for a pint of Guinness? I’m buying!

They are comparing them to what they think islam "should be" as presented to the infidels.

Not reality.

The muzzies moved to the westernmost part of Europe and are poised to make one giant leap across the Atlantic where America will receive them with open arms like a bunch of fools.

It's all over for Ireland and Great Britain in general.

Israel? Israel? That “Zionist Entity Oppressor”, more loyal to “true” Islamic principles? If we really want to face religious facts, for all the insane Arab-Iranian Muslim attacks against that small state and her Jewish inhabitants, Muslims hate Christianity MORE than Judaism because praying to Christ and all the icons of Christ (crucifixes, crosses and statues, etc.) go against the primary “sin” of idol worship. The Jews do not pray to idols either, like Islam so they have more in common with each other over history. Either way, Christianity and Judaism have a nonbeliever (Infidel) status with Muslims anyway. They ask us to be tolerant while they slice off heads...

This is the biggest bunch of HS I have ever heard. I’m Irish American and my sister in law is from Dublin. I’ve been there.

In the 90’s the EU started forcing Muslim immigration into Ireland. They started working at the car rental places first I think. The Irish were beating them up in the streets. Now they have probably been brow beaten down into accepting them.

Great! So what happens if a couple of hundred thousand English people move to Scotland, become citizens, and then vote to rejoin the Union? Result!

Actually, I'm fairly sure there will be restrictions on the immigration of certain peoples.
