Well, you said that:
@L-i-am said in Thinking of our Majid today:
I think that anyone who does not see that Europe is being invaded by a group that has no chance of integration is misguided and irrational
And I have to disagree. The official numbers are those I reported and believe me the reasons for the rage against government you are talking about raise from the problems which I listed, rather than the "invasion".
-
Honestly? Our knowledge of and exposure to situations in other nations is mostly fed by media and so called 'influencers' (Who frankly should not be considered more knowledgeable than the average goldfish).
From my standpoint I can only go by what I have seen and experienced. More and more so called refugee's who frankly are only here due to incompetence in government and profiteering by the gangs for profit.Italy is a point of entry into the eu, they shuffle them all the way to the channel and we kop them.
In the end it did for Merkel in Germany.
I do not hate these folk who are drip fed lies about the situation in the UK etc. I would like the situation changed to "How can the situation in poorer countries and those led by ultra nationalists or dictators be changed so they are safe in their own homes"?
Why risk life and limb crossing the channel in makeshift rafts and hoping?
We can do better, be better but it will take more thought than I have seen so far.
Have a great day folks, be kind to yourself and each other.

I mainly come here to read information about SketchUp, I very rarely participate. I am nevertheless surprised that in a thread hoping for the best for an Iranian user in these troubled times, some people are resorting to spouting their delusions about a Muslim invasion of Europe.
As well as being off-topic, I find this particularly distasteful.PS: No need to reply to me on this point, you can continue your stinking “debate” among yourselves. As for me, I'm just waiting hopefully for news from Majid, whose drawings I miss...
-
To which delusional Muslim invasion are you alluding to, no mention of any Muslim invasion here.
The stinking debate is probably between your own ears mate.

Mates, mates... You made me burst into tears. Internet blockage was severe, and it is somehow back (many new websites are added to "out of reach list"). A hole Iran is suffering a big trauma... many lives lost, brave, beautiful young people.... unlived lives.. unflourished futures... fighting for a simple life.. so that ends meet... is it too much?...
-
People may not have noticed but Majid upvoted some posts here today. So he is safe and has some type of internet connection.
This is a huge relief to know. Continue to stay safe Majid.
Regarding the topic being diverted into other arguments. I would like to remind everyone that there are plenty of places on the internet to discuss these topics.
Here we are focussed on Majid and his families well being and safety. Lets keep that support going.
-
No exact number/data of lost lives... ranging from 23000 to 40k+... even 1 life is too much letalone tousands... and they were mainly young.. I was out and saw familes all together protesting .. it was in silent at first, directed to violance...
-
Keep that head up Majid, you and yours. Tomorrow is another day and not Tuesday either.....

I'm so glad you're okay, Majid! My heart goes out to all Iranians. I had the privilege of working with an Iranian architect who worked on many government (and large) projects prior to the overthrow of the Shah, who came to the US with nothing other than his family. He did not speak english and his daughter (who did) came in to translate for him when he interviewed. Everything he knew about construction (very little wood framing in Iran) went out the window and he had to learn a new language and a new way of construction. Through it all, he was the most humble, sweetest person I'd ever met - never being down about what they were going through (or at least showing it). So full of knowledge, too!! After a few years he obtained his architects license. I'm sorry to say that I just found out he passed in 2023 .. a true loss in the world. Best of luck for both you, Majid, and the people of Iran.

Dear Majid,
I wish you wisdom and peace.

Great to hear from you Majid, brightened my day my friend

Islam, the religion of peace

Thanks @bep @l-i-am @mike-amos and @mtnarch for your cooncerns.
It seems this is gonna be the last presence of the US in the Middle East for at least the next 2/3 decades. It will not waste his time flirting with mullas.... Their ideology is dangerous. I hope that world takes Iran's story as a lesson, not letting an ideology (especially Islam) take over... IMO World would be a much better world if ruled by wisdom and knowledge. Islam (to my understanding) has never been the religion of peace.... When I see Muslem extrimist in EU or US, I feel upset, and wish EU/US prevents its growth.
@mtnarch people of Iran, mainly, like and admire US people. Many of my good/smart friends had to emigrate to your eminent land. Who knows, maybe I had to/opt to either... -
Wish you the very best Majid
