I would think the lack of an economy and real jobs to keep the remarkably large population of young males busy would be more of a problem. Idle hands, it seems, are Allah’s workshop . . .

“The Middle East needs strip clubs!”

Didn’t the 9/11 hijackers hang out at strip clubs? That did not calm their raging hormones! Maybe some really good whorehouses? A “Camel Ranch” in every jihadi camp? Maybe the UN could fund it-they have experience in that spurt of thing, you know.

Has Gillibrand been hanging out with Patty Murray? The dingbat who said that Osama bin Laden was building schools and daycare centers ?

One of the problems with the Chinese one child law is that too many people then select to have a son, and only a son. Now you have about 5% more men than women.
The problem hits when these guys hit 18-30. The richer guys can afford a wife for themselves or their son. But you end up with the “poor men who can’t afford wives / bare branches”. Prostitution and wife smuggling have exploded in China, to bring in Thai, North Koreans and Nepalese to meet the demand. India is seeing more brothers share a wife because they can’t get a second. And everywhere from India to China where they’ve aborted too many girls, prostitution is big business for guys who will never have wives to come home to.

The Middle East has the same problem due to polygamy. The rich guys take on second and third wives, purchased from poor families. Now you have 5% to 10% of the poor men on the bottom with no prospects, and no prostitution or wife sharing as an outlet.

The largest criminal cohort in any population is young unmarried men. China has a bunch it is trying to manage. The Middle East has just as many, and its solution - religious controls - is exploding.

That’s probably the biggest attraction for ISIS. Tell a guy with no prospects that he’ll go to heaven with 72 virgins if he dies, free choice of female captives if he is victorious and rape rights to the infidels as long as he continues Jihad.

“Of course no such thing is authorized by their religion”...and Western denial continues apace.

There are no reasons for insanity. The middle east is genetically screwed up due to massive inbred populations. This is also primarily why they raid infidel women and try to breed with them. Just trying to diversify their gene pool.

The symbol is an upside down wine glass, signifying that the status quo is off the table, and the party is over.

I read an analysis that another reason that cousin marriage is so high is because cousins are the only women a man can interact and escort with that he can also marry.
Hence, the only woman he could walk to the market or talk to in private that isn’t a sister, aunt or niece is a cousin. So he ends up being far more likely to marry her unless he’s rich enough to pick up a foreign bride.

you are the one saying there’d be no problems.

simple thing is not to let known infected people back into the country, period.

i don’t trust the experts to follow proper protocols because it’s been proven time and again they don’t.

I do agree: keep the infected with Ebola on the African continent instead of sending them to hospitals in Europe, America, Australia. Keep the disease on that continent instead of risking spreading it.
We’ve sent billions of aid there, we should get to use the hospitals we built there to treat people trying to treat the infected on that continent.

The last sentence in this extract tells you that this article is simply meant as yet another statement that the jihad murders and atrocities are not part of Islam. And that is BULLCRAP since the murders and atrocities are the essence of Muslim doctrine.

Wrong! Polygamy in Islam means that the sex ratio of single men and women is skewed. The violence is intrinsic to Islam.

That’s because they are contra-nature. And by this, will eventually self-extinguish....just like others who believe that nature doesn’t have a ‘critical role’ in their existence. It’s just sad what Satan does..to the minds, and hearts of MANY.
