Islamic conquest of Persia: VII century. 

Islamic revolution: 1979.

 

So... no, don't worry that Europe will be like that in "the next century". 

 

Anyway, I don't accept the premise that "Islam = oppresive regime and lifestyle" as a start but meh, in this forum everyone is a xenophobic right winger lately so I have to follow that logic to discuss this.

 

Hmm... living in Argentina makes it all look oh-so easy, right? South America is probably the last continent that has to worry about Islam tbh. Poland only escaped the Soviet occupation 30 years ago, we're not exactly thrilled to see these Muslim immigrants now. Let the colonial powers pay their own debts first.

Btw , there's nothing called islamic revolution , this revolution was even started by communists per my info who were opposing shah policies , but they wanted from the start to give it an islamic view and they told people that Shah was against Islam and he was a very bad person , just like what happened in Egypt in 1952 , some military officers made a coup against King Farouk and then they called it a people's revolution and many other examples in other countries 

 

that's somehow true. not entirely though. it's hard to say when it started but we had Constitutional Revolution half century before that. people was probably just tired of having a "shah" and then that Coup detat (thanks to western countries) which prevented Iran from slowly overthrowing the Shah and makes things worse by encouraging people for a big revolution. but that was a real revolution. at the time 99% of the Iranian population was supporting the revolution . even though most of them could not predict what's going to happen.

 

btw Shah himself was very religious and that was his weakness unlike her father.

Yeah, but like a working socialism, both are sadly fiction :(

Perhaps thankfully we're dealing with economical wars in the XXI century. Just look at the tarriff stand-off between China and USA. Communism is largely dead in Europe and most modern day wars have started due to ideology and economical differences. Islam is the last ideology which can wager on a new global war IMO.

Politics is run by money these days anyway. Even the communists are flooding the global market with it. But I'm cool... Poland ain't building any new mosques anytime soon.

Well, polish seems to have a rise in white nationalism lately, so your statement doesn’t shock me

    • Yeah. It was pretty bad that they cancel the contract with the original creative director after 7 months of work. I feel like politics, in this particular context of the changing of prime minister and the cabinet, may had caused changes in organizational decisions regarding the Sea Games including the direction of the opening ceremony. 
    • That's what I figured.  Wouldn't be a proper lead up to an Olympics without some media-fueled fearmongering.
