German central bank board member: Muslims are dumb

Everyone has a finger in the pie - so what? Blaming 'them' because 'they' are not like 'us' distracts away from finding any real solutions - if any are to be found.

What if having fewer of 'them' is a real solution? What if political correctness is preventing us from considering a truly effective solution to a real problem?

How could it be a solution if the division of 'us' and 'them' is a false one, which is is, as it was when it was the jews who were to blame?

How do we know it's false unless we've examined it?

Examine what? That holding a particular religious credo automatically makes one a threat to German society? Of course, how silly of me, Muslims are out to get us because we aren't Muslims.

What is so sacrosanct about religion that we automatically exempt it from scrutiny?

Nothing, that's not the point. If you look at the Muslim credo itself, adopting a Muslim credo is not a threat to anyone in and of itself. In other words, there are bad people what are Muslims, but being a Muslim does not make you a bad person.

Yes, but I did have a spectacular deep fried red herring.

Inflation that bad, eh?

There's a reason why in Germany the common currency is often referred to as the Teuro rather than the Euro.
