It's the land of the free, man, you're all immigrants. Middle eastern people are statistically less criminal than most other immigrant populations, only falling behind east asians, they are generally a societal plus who add value educate their kids etc. They're not coming for your country, they're coming because theirs is gone.
I was a white boy raised in rural Ontario and surrounded by prejudice against basically anyone who isn't a white redneck. Started my own business, moved to the city and have worked with and alongside hundreds, possibly thousands, of people who are Muslim. By far the large majority have been super cool, nice and a pleasure to deal with while there have been maybe a handful who came across as assholes or people I wouldn't want to associate with. No more than any other race, culture or religion.
To be clear you are conflating two different things.
I used the word criminal in reference to any infraction on the law regardless of intent. You are far more likely to be shot outside an abortion clinic by some mook for Jesus than you are to be blown up by a jihadi at McD's, these are facts.
Yeah I'm gonna need to see some stats that back that up.
All of the Pakistani's I worked with were wonderful people who would regularly insist I came home to dinner with their families, people who put on Christmas for they're kids even though it had nothing to do with them. Who's number 1 priority is getting all of they're kids college educated.
When was the U.S last suicide bomb? Never had one, meanwhile most years people die in Christian attacks on abortion clinics.
I thought that was implied by the "blown up in McD's" but even taking that on board, it's one anomalous event, given the frequency of other events you are more likely to get caught up in one of those.
Your bro science isn't holding up, m8.
In straight numbers you are right, the chance is stacked the other way though, try keep up.
I will, I think.
The funny thing is that this is actually not that dissimilar to the "guns don't do crime, criminals do crime"-sentiment. Just that some people are on the complete opposite side of it on these issues.
Last time you baited me into a thread with some bullshit, which I didn't respond to either btw.
@Sophia_Helwani.
The problem is you are looking at numbers of death casualties alone and not taking frequency of occurrence into account, it's a big part of the equation when figuring probability. Vastly higher frequency of event creates higher likely hood of getting caught up in one. It's fairly simple.
After your real pic was posted in that Q&A thread outing your true identity as a model and the fact that I have seen the movie Zoolander, I'd say the Prime Minister of Malaysia should be freaking the fuck out about your future arrival in his country.
Thanks for sharing this, really good stuff. You sound like a stand-up guy and are probably pretty successful at what you do.
Where was this? I missed it.
Is that legit? This dude is dirty!
