[Antioch]

Fun moment from the evening's debate in the Netherlands: Geert Wilders calls Mohammed a pedophile on live TV. Amazing, to be honest. If I were Dutch, I would definitely vote for his party.

Well, I didn't

...Facebook should start preparing Dutch flag filter...

[Sheb]

So, when can we expect exit polls? Is it like France, where it's illegal to release them until then end of polling?

[Bralbaard]

yes.

Expect exit-polls after the voting has ended, at 21:00 local time.

[Sheb]

If they send Wilders to the wilderness I swear I'm paying a round tonight.

Doubly ballsy when you consider that Dutch people who speak up against Islam have a history of being assassinated.

Best of luck to the Dutch, here's hoping they stand up for their country and its culture.

Yup. Pretty sure Wilders has constant police protection because of death threats and risk of assassination by immigrants and their descendants with barbaric iron-age beliefs.

I hope that last bit is being said ironically or sarcastically......

It's also inaccurate, Islam arose in the early Medieval period, about 200 years after the fall of Rome, not the iron age, which would be the period that Rome ruled, roughly.

Not at all. It's completely truthful.

Nope.

[smjjames]

BTW, Christianity arose in the iron age too and the Catholic chuch haven't changed their beliefs much since then either. Want to call them barbaric?

Gladly, and I will gladly do so when the context demands. But we're not discussing them right now, and this smacks of whataboutism.

[smjjames]

I was just noting the hypocrisy.

Also going offtopic into the Religion thread.

[Pwnzerfaust]

What hypocrisy?

[smjjames]

Also, while I agree that Islam does need to get over it's intolerance in general, some bad actors (or apples, if you will) don't represent the religion as a whole. Just like the Westboro Baptists don't represent the whole of Christianity.

[Pwnzerfaust]

I'll feel that way more readily, when Westboro Baptists start assassinating people on the street in broad daylight and pinning a note to their chests with knives for insulting Jesus or whatever.

The simple fact of the matter is that Muslims in Europe are far and away more radical, and more dangerous, than Christians in Europe.

WB numbers 40 people and is yet to do a single jihad
I get the point but it's not really doing the argument service compared to Newrope
