I generally agree not to generalize, but I don't blame these European posters for not wanting mass immigration in their respective countries. The criminality rate of Maghrebis in various European nations (excluding the UK) is so disproportionately high for the percentage. European governments allow low-class workers into their country to perform menial labor for a pittance, which subsequently leads to these issues. Also, North Africans are definitely not among the most liberal; far from it. The balkan Muslim nations are, as well as other regions...The case of Arabized "Arab" immigrants in North America is dramatically different, though.North Africans in France have plenty of reasons to be resentful of the extremely xenophobic French population. That doesn't justify murder, but nothing justifies generalizing an entire group of people (incidentally, North Africans are among the most liberal of all Muslim cultures) as being a bunch of violent barbarians either. Certainly, adding on MORE racism in France and other countries against them isn't going to solve sh!t. Not to mention that you wouldn't be hearing these kinds of comments if the killer was a white or East Asian.

[QUOTE="Nayef_shroof"] I myself am an agnostic theist raised in a Muslim backgroundhippiesantaI hope ur dad chase u wt machettee when if finds out Are you a Muslim? Anyways, he wouldn't do that. Unlike those deluded dumbasses who genuinely believe that "apostates" should be punished for leaving Islam, my father is an educated individual/professional who properly understands the tenets of Islam.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of OT is ignorant about Islamic theology. I myself am an agnostic theist raised in a Muslim background, but it's laughable how ignorant most individuals are regarding the basic definition of shariaDo people not understand that Sharia law encompasses a broad array of subjects that go well beyond cutting someone's hand off for stealing? Everything from criminal code to civil matters such as inheritance, divorce rights and regulations on the borrowing and lending of money is included. It is these civil aspects that being approved (at least so long as all involved parties agree to have the case settled under such laws) in the UK, not the criminal law aspects. And again, the UK has done the same thing for Jewish religious courts for a century now.

If two parties want to settle their civil disputes following Sharia law then why shouldn't they be able to?

So I was on the Injustice Gamefaqs forum yesturday and made a topic about the game needing more African characters, as Black Adam and Cyborg were the only ones. I asked for someone like Vixen.
Then People started saying how Cyborg isn't African, he's African American, then I said yes So he's African then they all started saying how he wasn't African at all but African American, so i asked how could you be both but only one at the same time. Then they started going on about ho it was ignorant to think all African people come from Africa? Which then confused me.
If someone is of African descent they are African right or am I crazy?

Let me help you with American definitions.
African- A black person who lives in Africa.
African American- A person who's black that lives in the United States.
Middle Eastern- Anybody who's brown that lives in a desert or arid country.(That includes North Africa)
European- Anbody who lives in America who's lighter then the tanning mom except Asians.
Asian- Anybody from Asia that has an Epicanthic fold.
What a terrible elaboration on classifications. Some of those "definitions" are quite inaccurate. Also, what about South Asians (Indians, Pakistanis, etc)? Anyways, Middle Easterners do not all live in "desert" countries or have brown skin. There are a lot of individuals in the Middle East who have lighter/fair complexions (Depending on the region). Going by your definition of European, my entire family (extended included) is European. Conversely, a much better definition of European would be anyone who has predominantly (more than 90%) European ancestry.
