Well I'd be interested to know the numbers. How many of them are dead or in jail as a result of "resistance to Israel"? If its a small number (say, 3% or something), I'd call it an HUGE success. Israel integrated 97% of its former "enemies" into becoming normal citizens. Well done. So if I proposed 150K Arab immigrants to the US, and promise that less than 3% of them will be supporters of suicide bombing and active suicide bombers, that's a success by you? However about proposing such an immigration to the Sultan of Dubai? Think he would go for it? Now this is the more interesting argument, that it is impossible to live as equals with Muslims because THEY cannot do it, and THEY will mess it up by taking away YOUR rights once their numbers get large enough. And it may be true, but unfortunately we don't have many self-declared Muslims here to argue against that point. I'm certainly got going to argue against it. Anyone believe that Muslims and non-Muslims can live together without the Muslims messing it up?? While you're off looking like Diogenes with his lantern, let me ask you just this: Suppose for the sake of argument it is true - Muslims will mess it up every time because their religion obliges them subjegate non-believers as soon as they are able. What does that inconvenient little supposition do to your entire line of argument?
