Would you elaborate ? I didn't write anything about Indian music, I even stated that their movies ruled the scene her during the 70's. I also explained about Arab music and recommended it.

What's your problem ?

[Umfriend]

Dogbert: the Nobel prize is like 100 years old? Does not say a lot in my book. Popular knowledge (which can be wrong a lot of times) has it that the Arabs were way ahead in art, science and medicine when Europe was still in the dark ages. Empires/cultures rise and fall and on the ashes of one may rise yet another someday. I'll agree that I do not know of any significant contributions to the world to science from Muslims or Arab culture (or from Jewish, Italian, Polish, Mexican, Chinese cultures) over the past 100 years.

omegaRED: AFAIK (and that won't take me 100 yards), a lot of americans are ALSO proud of their initial heritage (Irish, Italian, Afro-American, Polak etc)? If it is only about language, I'll agree swiftly. I guess this is what I think: If you migrate, you take it upon yourself to learn the language and find the best way to embed your lifestyle into the one you are migrating to. It is up to you first to ensure that no conflicts arise. This does not mean that you must change your own. It also does not mean that in the development of that culture, your own may not affect it. Here we have a feast called "Sinterklaas" which is on December 5th (kids get presents from St. Nicholas). This year, the sugarfeast(?!?, end of ramadan) fell on Dec. 5th as well. Some argued that we should hold Sinterklaas on the 6th this year because of that. I say "NO WAY". I do not mind however that Muslims celebrate their own feast on the same day as well (and take their older kids to the mosque in the morning before going to school and missing out a few hours of school).

KvH: I need to think about you. J

At least give the quote for which you wrote this irrelevant criticism. I don't think you'll find in everything I posted anything against Indian movies or Arab music.

Even though there are less than 20 million Jews worldwide, 20% of all Nobel prizes were given to Jews...

Are you sure of that? Alot of Jews aren't recognised...

[omegaRED]

I`m not saying that they shouldnt be allowed to influence and change the society in any way, i`m talking about immigrants ENFORCING some beliefs, laws, rules and norms... because its how it was in their former country.

The language problem is the most apparent one. And whats worse, its not the INABILITY to learn the language, its the UNWILINGNESS thats the problem.

[Umfriend]

Dogbert, congratulations. I think a lot of them were born and lived in Europe and the US. So either they have learned a lot from the christian surroundings, or they have contributed to the esteem of Europe and the US. In both cases, clear examples of where integration and cross fertilisation (you could know what I mean) gets ppl. Also, their background comes from well developed countries, or at least richer countries than Muslim countries were, say 100 years ago. They'll need time to catch up, and if they directed them petro dollats to goo ends, it might not be that long. Indians will be faster methinks, maybe chinese as well.

The last "Jewish" contribution to math, AFAIK, is the estimation of PI at 3...

And what are you saying, that the jews are more intelligent than some other people, or that because of a good financial status the jews could/can afford a decent education, thereby giving the people the opportunity to achieve a goal.





Or was it just a brag list!!!!???

Until they get a Nobel prize? (j/k)

omegaRED: I'll agree with the ENFORCING bit easily. Think it comes from where you are that you encounter that. Don't think we have that here though. Re.: the UNWILLINGNESS, I say: "no mercy"
