Thread Name: BS: Non-Islamic Terrorist in Norway?
Subject: RE: BS: Non-Islamic Terrorist in Norway?
This was the context.
I have admitted to knowing nothing about the culture, and could not form such an opinion myself.
That opinion was expressed by eminent national figures, most of whom were actually members of that culture.
I reported that opinion in the thread, and was asked if I believed it.
Here is my whole reply, which contains no racist statements.
Remember, the suggestion was not mine but that of famously ANTI-RACIST Pakistani people.
It is my opinion that it is a reasonable suggestion.
The over representation is a fact that requires an explanation.
Something is predisposing them, and it is more likely to be something sexual in the culture than your alternative list. (wild generalisations?)
If it did give rise to just a slight predisposition, then only a tiny minority would succumb.
And that is exactly what is found.
It is consistent with the facts, self consistent, contains no logical flaws, and no alternative yet suggested.
