So answer me this. In the Western world, which is the bigger threat to society, alcoholism or radical Islam. Which causes the bigger number of deaths and suffering? If you and your compatriots don't develop some of the stiff spine you guys used to be known for, you will be doing what they tell you. You are just asking for it. And they would love to take over. It's not going to happen tomorrow, but your will to stop them from moving in seems to be zero. As long as you let them continue to immigrate, they will pour in from Pakistan. And they out-breed you three to one.

their genetic make up doesn't make them normally able to drink large amounts of alcohol. is there some medical study that supports their genetic make up doesn't make them able to drink large amts of alcohol. or is it because they prefer not to drink and if they do since they are not used to drinking their body cannot take large amounts which seems pretty normal with most unless your genetics say one or two drinks and you are smashed or addicted.

In the Western world, which is the bigger threat to society, alcoholism or radical Islam. As far as I can tell, most alcoholics have no desire to impose Sharia law. Most alcoholics don't adhere to a religion that demands either conversion and obedience from non believers or death or subservience as an alternative. Allowing radical Islamists to continue to infiltrate and breed in Western society is just asking for BIG problems down the road. Maybe most Brits have been conditioned to roll over like whimpering puppies when confronted by radical Islam, conditioned to believe that defending oneself from aggression is a crime, but I can tell you that there are PLENTY of people on this side of the pond who will have no part of rolling over. I have no desire to tell others how to live their lives, but if and when these stone age creatures try to impose their laws and religion on me and my family and my community, then we'll see what happens....

. and ACTUALLY (and you know this as well as I do) some muslim influence would probably do some more good then harm on the subject of alcohol.. and so would the mormons and the baptists, right??? the only ones fearful of those types are seemingly the aclu... btw... while on the topic of the evils of alcoholism, you might want to consider the equally vile habit of cigarette smoking...the ROP has a solution for that too... imagine those poor iraqis doing a risk assessment when they light up.... "In the evening of the 24th I spoke with a local Iraqi official, Colonel Faik, who said the Muftis would order the severance of the two fingers used to hold a cigarette for any Iraqis caught smoking. Other reports, from here in Diyala and also in Anbar, allege that smokers are murdered by AQI. Most Iraqis smoke and this particular prohibition appeared to have earned the ire of many locals. After an American unit cleared an apartment complex on the 23rd, LTC Smiley, the battalion commander, reported that residents didn’t ask for food and water, but cigarettes. In other parts of Baqubah, people have been celebrating the routing of AQI by lighting up and smoking cigarettes." michaelyon-online.com
