Yeah Liberal works too, they are basically interchangeable.
No one has associated an advert with terrorist attacks, that's just something you've posted for some reason. My point was that Islamic culture (specifically the kind of culture we see in most Middle Eastern Arabic countries) isn't something that's compatible with Western culture on the whole due to the aforementioned points.
Think the problem is people conflate first generation immigrants with second and third+ generation Brits.
Yes, of course first generation immigrants are going to feel happier and gravitate towards eating the cuisine they are growing up in their home country, having friends they can associate closer with (form their own cultures), struggle with a language that is not their first and possibly have views that their new home don't like. Their children on the other hand generally don't have many of those issues, and their children's children certainly won't, unless of course you segregate them and demonize them, which is unfortunately what many people seem to want to do.
This pattern is the same whether we are talking about Muslims in Britain, or Brits in Spain.
Then I think you need to brush up on your homework, as they most certainly are not interchangeable.
Look up the political compass rather than then perception of a linear line.
For example : Stalin was 'left', a communist, but was certainly not a Liberal, but the exact opposite, being an Authoritarian

Firstly not interchangeable, the fact you use it so much and think its interchangeable is laughable.
As for associating it with terrorist attacks... there is a picture of the bombed bus on the first page of the thread...
Yes there's Economically Left and Socially Left, in this context I'm obviously talking about the latter. I assumed some intelligence on the part of the reader
It isn't quite as simple as that. Islam as a religion isn't overly liberal, it is structurally biased and discriminatory towards women, homosexuals and anyone not of the faith. Mainstream Christianity is moving away from this in the UK at least but is still far from perfect.
While freedom of religion is incredibly important from a liberal point of view there is a conflict when the religion itself is deeply illiberal.
U WOT M8? Christians and muslims do not have the same God, Jesus is God and in islam Jesus has a lesser role of prophet and not even the greatest one.
he was the son of god, apparently
“I and the Father are one.” We need only to look at the Jews reaction to His statement to know He was claiming to be God.

Ever heard of the Holy Trinity?
I've read about Ringwraiths in a book too, doesn't mean they are real.
And it's not like all of the Christian faiths agree on this point either, so it's just an interpretation. And isn't it that Christianity, Islam and Judaism are all classed as Abrahamic faiths, so the same core just with some different interpretations.
When are these idiots going to get in their heads that we DON'T care what they do or don't believe in.Religion should be a private matter not something you try to enforce on to others or change society to accommodate your ridiculous beliefs.I wont bend or change for islam ever and cannot ever respect it.
All religious people are looneys we'd be better off without.

Buses can jump over rivers...a bit. A driver jumped a bus a bit of the way over Tower Bridge in the 1950s. The bridge was rising as he drove the bus over and by the time he was close enough to see what was happening he decided he couldn't stop in time and then reverse back down the bridge in time, so he went for the jump instead. He cleared the gap with only a few minor injuries to the passengers and got a reward for doing so.
Strange but true.
That's only true when the immigration is on a small enough scale and the immigrants don't have a lot of power and a high enough proportion of them want to integrate. Which used to usually be true for immigration into this country. It isn't any more, not since the scale of immigration became too large and multiculturalism became the dominant ideology on the subject.
They do have the same god. Judaism, Christianity (Judaism 2) and Islam (Judaism 3) have the same god. There are many differences, but they have the same god.
Christianity also has the rather odd trinity thing, where that 1 god is 3 while being 1, but it's the same god.
