Thread: Russian Politician wants Russia to use the Euro, to "save" it....

And, Hanna, what's so nice about Sharia law?

Not everything about Islam is bad! It has some good points. A friend of mine is moslem and she explained it to me. Some of it sounded both sensible and good. I don't hate it at all.
I just don't want large numbers of moslems in Europe and I think that the moslems who come to Europe should adapt themselves. I wouldn't mind it at all if they became Christians.
But what religion they have and how they apply it in their own countries is not my business.

Gosh nothing escapes you! It was 60 years ago! But yes, I've heard about this... but I thought the people in question were Estonian Nazis....? But regardless, I agree that handing them back to the USSR while Stalin and Beria were still alive was wrong. Several of them seriously harmed themselves because they thought that would delay things. They must have been really scared. Tons of Nazis went to Sweden after the war, these would not have made any difference. Or they could have simply been thrown out, but not to the USSR.

Sweden later "made up" for this by trying to "rescue" some Baltic people from prison in the USSR. The USSR handed over a bunch of people who they said were political prisoners. But as it turned out, they were absolute gangsters and definitely belonged in prison! They started up a sort of Baltic mafia that smuggled all sorts of stuff and ocassionally killed people on the Baltic sea ferries. My grandfather was the manager of a terminal for Baltic sea freight ships and had lots of trouble with this gang.

It seems you're mixing up Islam and Sharia. I totally agree with you about European Muslims having to integrate, though.
