    I have to question your judgement, subtle as it is, on this issue.
    While I accept that brown people=arabs, I pointed out earlier that the Greeks are brown too.

    How can brown people be European?



    Edit: Ok I'm a bit late there, but I'd like to add:

    I'd adopt Shakira any day of the week.

    There was a move a while back in Turkey to reclaim their place as the leaders of the Turkic world after some of the former soviet Caucasus states regained their sovereignity. Dunno what happened to that ambition, but it would make more sense for them - especially since they've been given the runaround by the EU for so long. And it would certainly not be poor what with all the gas & oil knocking about the region.

    It's got nothing to do with colour so don't dare try to call me racist and thereby deflect from the actual issue. Turkey and Islam are not compatible with the Europe I live in. That is not the same as being anti Turkish or anti Islam it is merely stating a fact.

    For whatever reason Islam is a violent religion which offers ZERO respect or protection to minorities be they woman or gay or disabled etc. The way ISlamic socity is set up is fundamentally different to how it is in Europe.

    White, black, yellow, brown, red people can be European but practising Muslims who are not secular can not be full Europeans.

    When was the last time you heard even the most right wing off the scale Christian say they want gays or unmarried mothers etc put to death - at worst they say they are going to hell.

    Right, but you seem to consider everyone in the middle east to be generic arab. I think this proves your opinion on these matters to be ignorant and ill-informed.
    I'll pay attention to your musings on the middle east when it's not a waste of my time.
