Dear Chevelle,
I merely suggested treating Muslims in the exact way they treat Jews and Christians. I could have suggested we invade and demand all Muslims convert or die - which is the Islamic policy for non-muslims who are not "people of the book". But I figure they deserve the mercy they give to Jews - mainly, convert or live as a second hand citizen, paying the tax to support their oppression.
anonyMous...the economic sanctions were not lifted.
“None of Iran’s money held in restricted accounts overseas has gone to Iran, and we have not freed up any cash to Iran. Any notion to the contrary is false and misleading.” the State Department told The Post in a statement Sunday. “That money is held in restricted accounts overseas with strict oversight and in close coordination between the Departments of Treasury and State.”
The Iranian response was actually measured by design. And immediately after they made clear the matter was settled in their estimation. It's now up to Israel, hopefully an escalation can be averted.
According to the Office for National Statistics in 2021 there were about 4 million people identifying as Muslim in the UK - yes, but that is only measuring those Muslims who officially are in the UK.
Many asylum seekers come here and disappear into the black market. Many of those people are Muslims.
Does “many ” of “many” mean “millions?
St George of England said millions of Muslims are coming into Great Britain every year. I asked for a reference, of some sort, for that statistic.
If it is true then it’s still nothing compared to the billions of Shintoists coming into this country every week. ( haven’t got the reference for that one sorry. )
@peacefulpete: not sure where you get your information, but this is relatively easy to find:
The Biden administration on November 14 extended a sanctions waiver to allow Iran to access upwards of $10 billion in electricity revenue once held in escrow in Iraq.Nov 15, 2023
The Iranian government now has access to $6 billion of their funds to be used for humanitarian purposes as a part of a wider deal that allowed five Americans who had been imprisoned in Iran to go free. Sep 18 2023
Multiple reports also suggest Washington is allowing Tehran to trade $7 billion in International Monetary Fund special drawing rights for fiat currency.
US officials now admit they’re allowing Iranian oil exports to China to skyrocket with estimates ranging from 1.4 to 2.2 million barrels per day flowing in August — their highest levels since President Donald Trump ended America’s participation in the old Iran nuclear deal.
Conservative estimates put this sanctions relief at $25 billion in annual revenue. Iran is now eyeing the transfer of another $3 billion from Japan. (Sep 12 2023).
As far as what Iran did, it was an attempt at killing thousands of Jews, it was an unprovoked attack on sovereign territory, Israel rightly slammed back on Iranian territory in concert with the Saudi and Jordanian military.
Does “many ” of “many” mean “millions? - no, it does not.
But a large proportion of migrants (legal and illegal) are Muslim. This is changing the face and fabric of our society. Most countries do not do this. Can you imagine Saudi Arabia letting mostly Christian migrants into their country to stay permanently? No, of course not.
Changing the fabric of our society is pretty serious.
Will it change the UK for the better?
62% in the latest UK poll think arms to Israel should stop compared with only 16% who are happy to continue. Will government policy ever reflect public opinion?
