arab boy questions

A young Arab boy asks his father, "What is that weird hat you are wearing?"
The father said, "Why, it's a 'chechia' because in the desert it protects our heads from the intense heat of the sun."
"And what is this type of clothing that you are wearing?" asked the young man.
"It's a 'djbellah' because in the desert it is very hot and it protects the body." said the father.
The son asked, "And what about those ugly shoes on your feet?
His father replied, "These are 'babouches", which keep us from burning our feet from hot sand in the desert."
"So tell me then," added the boy.
"Yes, my son?"
"Why are you living in Dearborn, Michigan, and still wearing all this **** ?

I have very little shame left in me, but it's still enough for me to be ashamed that I know about Bernd and the ******* Unteraletrbach Valley (or whatever the hell it's called, I don't speak New Syrian German)

I've heard a similar thing, islam probably changed somewhat over the years but Muhammad raped a 6 year old and its very well documented and accepted that he did. Plus he did a lot of other really messed up **** . So even if it did change for the worse it still was not great to begin with.

true and pretty much all religions have weird crap added to it as it goes along. There is no reason in the bible for priest not to marry and most other branches of christianity let them but some pope around 150 years ago thought it would allow priest to connect closer to god if they didn't marry.

look what your trying to say may not be wrong but how you are trying to say it is. Islam or being a Muslim is not your race it is your religion, it can be part of your culture and family traditions but that doesn't mean race. if you drop the race card you might be able to get your point across.Also trying to compare yourself to jew might help in a very liberal setting but hear it won't because one there are clear differences obviously and two we jews get a ton of jokes made about us here as well but part of not being an idiot on the internet is letting **** slide some jokes i don't like although most of the jew jokes are hilarious and not become a hypersensitive tumblertard.

Note the word "consistently."
Terrorism from other religions is so rare that you can name all their attackers. Statistically, they're irrelevant. Islamic terrorism dwarfs not only terrorism from other religions, but all other types of terrorism as well: communist, nationalist, etc. Islam has a damn near monopoly on terrorism.

America used to be known as a melting pot, where all were welcomed so long as they worked hard and became Americans, even if that meant giving up their native dress and speech to become Americanized.

Its not recent but has been for the last 100 or so years- people just come here and wave their old flag and dress natively. No effort given to being Americans.

'Melting pot' refers to people of different backgrounds coming together to share their ideas and create a culture based on all of the individual parts. Not forcing assimilation to some 'perfect' american culture you think exists.

From the link I posted down below:
"A separate IPC paper from 2007 explains that this is not a function of well-behaved high-skilled immigrants from India and China offsetting misdeeds of Latin American newcomers. The data show that “for every ethnic group without exception, incarceration rates among young men are lowest for immigrants,” according to the report. “This holds true especially for the Mexicans, Salvadorans, and Guatemalans who make up the bulk of the undocumented population.”"'

Intuitively it would make some sense that illegal immigrants would commit fewer crimes than the general population, because they risk deportation if they get caught, and because deportation eliminates repeat offenses.

So in any case, the guy I was replying to was wrong. In fact, with the exception of Latinos, I don't even know of a stereotype that immigrants in America are more prone to crime. The content was about Muslims, which in the US are not known for crime at all.

Hey man, sorry I never got around to continuing our comment threads earlier. I was pretty swamped with finals and completely sleep-deprived this week. Maybe I'll get around to it later.

Hey. I've actually just found this one article.
www.salon.com/2015/12/21/the_media_needs_to_stop_telling_this_lie_about_donald_trump_im_a_sanders_supporter_and_value_honesty/

Some of its research seeeeeems shoddy like the "68% of sexual assault crimes are not reported." That common statistic has already been disproven repeatedly and is definitely not based on the national crime victimization survey . But eh. The major point of showing you that article was to highlight the extreme overreactions between the media and what Trump really said. I mean, you do have to agree that most things the media said about Donald Trump are just manipulations of what he actually said. Like "Temporarily bar all muslim immigration and set up safe zones in Syria" to "BAN AND DEPORT ALL MUSLIMS."

Hope you find it interesting buddy.

But yeah. Donald Trump really is changing the world. For better or worse. I mean even people at MSNBC are starting to turn around
youtu.be/LIeIx2HJUAs

I honestly just feel like he's the only one that can bring up conversations like these. And kinda do need that. Also I was watching the earlier rallies. Even I was misrepresenting what he said. He wants to build the wall AND streamline immigration. Meaning more people can come in from all around the world, including Mexicans.

User avatar #141 to #140 - Ruspanic (12/25/2015) [-]


Oh god she's even got Trump-like hair. It's spreading.

Anyway, yeah, every time the immigration issue comes up he talks about how "we're going to build a wall, and we're going to put a big beautiful door right in the middle of that wall, so people can come in, but they're going to come in legally." That's damn near word for word off the top of my head because he seems to use that exact phrasing in every debate.
As far as Muslims though, he did include legal immigrants and tourists as well as illegal immigrants. He wanted to ban them from entering the US until we could "figure out what's going on".

But regardless, I think Trump's own supporters misconstrue what he says as much as his detractors, and he doesn't bother correcting them because he knows what his base wants. Many of the Trump supporters here seem to think he's going to deport all minorities and turn American into a pure white Christian Utopia.

But yeah. I understand what you're saying now. Kiiiiiinnnnnndaaaa agree tbh. Especially when there's people like this.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVn75Fgbl9w

Like some of his issues I completely disagree with. Repeatedly, Trump's been talking about taking the oil found in the Middle East. While I understand where he's coming from it'll stop organizations like ISIS from popping up as much. They got most of their profits from selling oil and **** . I think it'll upset the native population. It should be more like "Take the oil and guard it until a proper democracy is established." Or maybe that's what he means. To take the oil, sell the oil, and give the profits to the native population, giving it a head start for government to be established.

Honestly that's the only thing that pulled me off a bit about Trump.

Still better than Shillary and Socialist Sanders. If it were up to me, it would be Omalley v. Trump. I'd be fine if either wins then.

Here's the instance that comes to mind for me:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKV6wPT9q_8
He didn't even bother to correct that guy. I don't think that Trump actually agrees with him, but I do think that he realizes a significant portion of his supporters are racist retards like the guy in the video and doesn't want to alienate them.

But besides that, I think Trump knows and understands shockingly little about the issues and about effective policy solutions, considering he's the undisputed Republican frontrunner. A great deal of what he says, even when asked direct questions, is vague and meaningless rhetoric I know you like him, but I'm not one to sugarcoat my criticisms . Here's the best example of what I mean, from the most recent debate, when he was asked how he would modernize America's nuclear arsenal:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKf2IyCywu0&feature=youtu.be&t=7296
Contrast his answer with Rubio's answer. Trump's response didn't even address the question. His answer frankly reminded me a bit of Miss South Carolina from way back when.

Here's him responding to a request for evidence that the Mexican government is sending us criminals, etc as illegal immigrants, like he claimed. Tell me if you think he answered the question:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUFkNbDYfQ4&feature=youtu.be&t=270
I've got a couple other examples if you're interested.

O'Malley vs Trump would be strange... they're really very different people. O'Malley seems rather weak but more importantly he's far too liberal for my tastes. I get emails from his campaign all the time because I go to college in Maryland, and to me he comes across as a desperate tryhard who's unconvincingly trying to portray himself as the liberal (but not socialist, lol) alternative to Hillary Clinton. This was his campaign's response to Clinton saying she voted to build a barrier to prevent illegal immigration:

"It is flat-out wrong to hear Secretary Clinton echo failed policy and even more hurtful that she would call New Americans, "illegal immigrants."
Words matter, and no human being is illegal."
Jesus. "New Americans"?

However, I would still take him, Sanders, almost any other GOP candidate or even (reluctantly) Clinton over Trump because at least they have relevant experience and are knowledgeable about the issues. Clinton's views are mostly not that objectionable (she's the most conservative Democrat running), while Sanders would be unable to achieve his more radical agendas without Congressional assent (if Obama couldn't pass universal healthcare, why would Sanders succeed?). So yeah.

mobile.wnd.com/2015/12/minorities-line-up-behind-donald-trump/

"Because a new poll, which still has Trump leading the race, shows 40 percent of blacks are lining up behind Trump, as are 45 percent of Hispanics, and even nearly 19 percent of Asians... Blacks and Hispanics, in fact, even support Trump at a higher level than whites... Among whites, Trump was far and away the leader, with 37.7 percent of the respondents"

So far for the pure white Christian utopia, huh? not to say that there aren't racists voting for Trump. But I do think you exaggerated the amount of them

Well that's just because he didn't want to drone it out any longer than it had to be. He (barely) answered the question quickly so that he can get off the microphone.

>even when asked direct questions, is vague and meaningless rhetoric
Oh. So you mean a civilian of the United States doesn't know top secret information about our countries nuclear arsenal? All kidding aside, he is still a civilian of the United States and not a politician like the rest of them.

But yeah, I understand where you're coming from. What I think is that Donald Trump uses his rallies to get people to know the base of his policies, and if they want more information (like I did), they can just go to his website and read the policies in depth.

>him responding to a request for evidence that the Mexican government is sending us criminals
Well, I think what he meant about that could be either one of two things.
1) I don't have any evidence. But let's not forget that this is a problem
You can't flat out say that you were wrong, especially in a debate. The News would just play that 1 second clip of you until the election happens. You could see that with most other politicians. They never admit mistake

2) People have been misinterpreting what I said. The Mexican government doesn't FORCE people to go. But because they didn't do anything to stop it is a fault on their part.
I mean, it's not like the media has been kind to Donald Trump. See the Salon article for example. You have to admit that the media twists everything Donald Trump has to say

O'Malley vs Trump would be strange... they're really very different people
Eh. Something about O'Malley got me rooting for him. Maybe because he sounds like the only sane one in debates.

>Hillary
Honestly. I don't want to vote for he because she is only going to get elected because she's a womyn. It's just identity politics at work. When the presidential elections will come, she will hide behind her sex screaming oppression the first chance she gets. I mean, look at what happened with the recent "shlong" comment. Honestly I'd rather have Fiorina for president

>Bernie Sanders
I think Trump and Bernie Sanders are a little bit similar in some of their policies. Both of them support universal health care. Trump has kicked around the idea of trying to figure out why College's became so expensive to see if there's any foul play going on. Sanders just supports free education for all. But I don't think Sanders's tax plan is going to work out very well. He's mentioned the idea to raise taxes on the rich (and trust me. I'm no millionaire myself. I'm not just saying that's a bad idea because I'll directly benefit). But what Sanders doesn't realize is that the corporations and rich people will just move out of the country in an increasing speed. They're already moving their factories outside. They'll just move their headquarters. Just like with the tobacco industry (not saying that the tobacco industry is beneficial to our country. But it surely did raise our GD). Our economy is so bad because our tax rates are too high (as well as other things).

What Donald Trump is suggesting is to lower corporate tax and income tax to such a degree that businesses come back to the United States, and also incentivize less outsourcing and less trade deficits. That's in my opinion, one of Donald Trump's most solid policies. Trade deficits hurt our economy one way or another.

Nah, I think if he had any decency or honesty he'd have corrected that guy.

>top secret
It's not top secret information. Ben Carson of all people was the one who brought it up, and Marco Rubio and Hugh Hewitt were both perfectly able to talk about it on national television. Most likely Trump just didn't know the term "nuclear triad", which would be fine except that 1) Hewitt just explained what it was, and 2) Trump could've asked Hewitt to clarify the term instead of rambling about nothing. He can't keep using the the political outsider card as an excuse to not educate himself.
But this isn't the only instance I'm talking about. I posted another link showing him failing to provide evidence for his illegal immigration claims, and I can show you others on topics like the TPP and how he'll get along with Putin.

>he didn't have any evidence
Well he shouldn't have made the claim then, should he have? This is what I mean when I say he's playing to people's fears and emotions rather than presenting serious policy proposals.

>people have been misinterpreting him
The reporter began the question by saying "you say the Mexican government - the Mexican government - is sending criminals, rapists, drug dealers across the border"
Trump nodded in agreement through all of that and did not say anything to contradict it.

>O'Malley
Okay, but if you like Trump's immigration stance, O'Malley's stance is the polar opposite. I'm just saying.

>Hillary
Okay, the woman card annoys me too but Fiorina has also played it on multiple occasions. And yeah, I'd much rather take Fiorina over Clinton.
However I don't think that's significantly different from Trump's "the media is out to get me" response every time he's criticized or made to look bad. Clinton is capitalizing on Democratic and female voters' disdain for sexism, while Trump is capitalizing on his base's distrust of the "PC liberal media".
Also, to be fair, the "schlong" comment might not have been sexist but I do think Trump is still actually sexist. I can give you a list of things he's said that have lead me to that conclusion, if you like.
Clinton's biggest problem by far is that she's untrustworthy.

>Sanders
Trump doesn't claim to support universal healthcare anymore, as far as I'm aware (do you?).
The education thing just sounds like more of Trump's "we're going to take a look at a lot of things" sort of vague rhetoric that he uses when he doesn't have/doesn't want to give a concrete plan.

Sanders wants to raise taxes on to high income brackets and on capital games, i.e. on individuals. For corporations I think he just wanted to close loopholes, which is the same thing Trump said. Outsourcing jobs when production costs increase is one thing, but taxes on personal income aren't the same as increased production costs because companies aren't financed out of the personal wealth of their CEOs.
I don't think rich people would actually emigrate from America in order to escape paying higher taxes on their income. America is still one of the best places in the world to live (and it's their home), and most places that have higher living standards also have higher taxes.
By the way, Trump has also indicated that he supports raising taxes on the rich, so there's that.

Also, our economy isn't bad. It's still the strongest economy in the world. The reason it was bad in recent years was because of the housing crash/financial crisis, which had nothing to do with taxes.

>trade deficits
We've had this discussion. I don't think trade deficits are inherently bad.

>he didn't have any evidence
>people have been misinterpreting him
You can say one of two things about his quote "The Mexican government is sending criminals, rapists..."
1) The Mexican government is directly responsible for sending people over the border. Meaning they directly tell people to go to America
2) The Mexican government is indirectly responsible for sending people over the border. Meaning they know people are going over the border, and they're refusal to do anything about it makes them at fault.
And I think that what he means by that is the second one. But if he does think the first one. I think that that part of the debate, he admitted that he didn't have strong evidence. But a bit after that part, he said that people from the border security have told him about it. I admit, anecdotal evidence. But it starts the conversations about the topic. What's frightening is how much we don't know about all of these things.

>O'Malley
I'm not in favor one way or the other tbh. He just seems like the only rational one in recent debates.

Trump's "the media is out to get me" response
That Salon's article disagrees. Also if you watched one of his rallies. He goes on and on for 20 minutes about how he doesn't take superpact funding. Which means that he is not controlled by other corporations. The only two people against receiving superpact funding is Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. Hillary Clinton takes in millions and millions of dollars worth of corporation money. And if you noticed, the PC liberal media slanders both. Admittedly it's easier to slander Trump than it is to slander Sanders. So there's not that much of slandering going on for Sanders. But if you read any PC liberal media, they clearly like Hillary over Sanders, even though I think a lot more people would like Sanders.

And before you go on about Trump IS the establishment. Congress and the Judicial system have lines in place to regulate the presidency's conflicts of interest. And I seriously doubt that Trump has enough money to bribe all of congress and all of of the judicial system in order to save a few measly million dollars.

Trump doesn't claim to support universal healthcare anymore
He does actually. Every single rally he did. He always talked about how he's going to replace ObamaCare with a better health care system. ObamaCare is a failure. It forces you to buy healthcare instead of actually giving you healthcare. He supports the same single payer healthcare system that Sander's supports. Well... at least I think so. Neither have given details about their healthcare system.

That's actually a huge flaw against the GOP choosing him as the candidate. He has never supported traditional Republican values. And they fear that he may be too left winged to be the Republican president. Hell, 10 years ago he supported abortion. Now he's saying he changed his mind

Whether or not you like it. If corporations are happy, we'll be happy. Our corporate tax rate is the highest in the world (depending on the state. If you look at only federal corporate tax. We're tied for third highest). The economics is really vast so I'll try to make it short. Every single company's interest is to better itself. So in a closed system, you'll find that a company will invest into itself (and by extension, the people), to grow at a faster and faster rate. If a company grows, then the amount of jobs it produces grows as well. Now, if you remove ~40% of its profits, then it can't invest into itself at all, or at least not as much as before. Think of this as a sliding scale. At 0% taxes, everyone can invest into themselves and grow rapidly. At 100% taxes, nobody will be able to invest any money into itself meaning the corporation would actually decrease the amount of profits they produce. Now, as a government, if you want more money, than there's a special number in between those two extremes that will give the government the most taxes after a certain period of time. You obviously can't tax 100% because companies will fail and you obviously can't tax 0% because you'll get no taxes. People have estimated that to be ~15%. So if our country actually drops 20% in corporate taxes, they'll actually get more money when equilibrium is reached. Now equilibrium can be reached in 10 years or 10 million years. In 10 years, the growth of the economy would actually give back 2 trillion dollars in taxes while the decrease in taxes would take 12 trillion. So it'll take slightly longer than just 10 years.

But unfortunately, this is not a closed system. This is an open system since we are living in a global economy. So what's been happening since ~2000 when Bill Clinton introduced a bill for open trade with China, is that corporations have been investing into China and other places. They have been sending their money over there. A closed system assumes that everyone has the same rules. People in China aren't playing by the same rules as people in the United States. They pay their workers **** and exploit them more than probably any major government in the world. And it's hurting the rest of us because corporations aren't investing into the people of the United States. They've just been investing into themselves and by extension, China.

>trade deficits
So, in order to make money at all, you need to do either one of two things. Sell goods. Or sell services. In order to sell goods, you'll have to do either one of two things. Buy goods or produce goods. In order to buy goods, there must be someone producing the good. The producer looks to a distributor to sell the goods to, in mass quantities. The distributor then sells it to stores who want to buy it in a smaller quantity. Now, the producer/distributor of the goods can be from a different country, and it definitely is. And I agree that countries can just rely on other countries to be the producer/distributors. But there's two problems with that.
1) Our economy would be much better by a factor of tens to hundreds if we have all three types of the countries. The producers, the distributors, and the stores.
2) We will never be self reliant. And that's a bad thing. Imagine if tomorrow, the hundred of millions of Chinese workers goes on strike. That'll just **** us up. Or if the economies around the earth starts to fall. If we are self reliant, we can only benefit from it. The United States Dollar would be much stronger because it isn't tied to any of the countries. If everyone is financially tied to China, that means China's economy is much stronger than us. But if everyone is financially tied to the US, then we'll benefit from it.

"Pure white Christian Utopia"

I'm afraid we've already missed our chance for that. Why did Germany had to attack Russia? They were already fighting on the border with France!

Also I meant about the "streamline" part. I knew he wanted legal immigration. I didn't know he wanted to make it easier for immigrants to come here

Most muslims (>61%) would prefer to be judged by shariah law.
In the UK they set up "no-go zones" that even police cannot casually penetrate.

That means they don't live by the laws of the host country buddeh...

Yep, I've seen the Pew Research stuff before. The Muslims that tend to support Sharia law are overwhelmingly in countries that already have institutionalized Islam to some degree. In other words, they support the status quo. The exceptions to that are, obviously, still pretty significant and reflect the fact that most Islamic cultures have no tradition of secularism or of separating mosque and state.

Here's a breakdown of Muslims' beliefs about what "Sharia" entails, which goes into more detail.

That "American culture" is a mix of European cultures. St. Patricks day is Irish, Santa Claus comes from the Dutch Sinterklaas and those fireworks you light up on the fourth, Chinese. But ofcourse, because this time they are muslims they don't deserve any of that.
