Now, if with the trouble in Europe in a different post you are
referring to certain riots that have occured in Paris, certain
tensions that exist today between muslims immigrants and the rest of
the society, then you are right. But, talk about something being
destroying Europe appears to be excessive.

The definition of multi-cultural implies tolerance. This only means
that intolerant cultures need to modify their behavior to have a small
modicum of tolerance.

It is interesting to note that the poorest among us are the most
radical in their beliefs, regardless of their culture and have the
greatest propensity toward violence.

It's only interesting to note things like that if they're true. It is
not.

Osama bin Laden came from a very wealthy background. None of the 911
hijackers grew up in poverty. Extreme terrorist leaders tend to have
engineering or medical backgrounds.

Poor people are far too busy trying to get by to indulge themselves in
extreme political beliefs, or carry them out by violence. Poverty
does not cause terrorism, though in Europe, welfare seems to.
