Unfortunately no. The UK has all but outlawed patriotism.

I thought France was bad. Now Hamas has a new operating headquarters...




France and UK are a mess. The longer this goes on the harder it will be to reverse

I can only speak to France (Paris) as I am part time resident. France doesn't have issues worse than ours. Yes, they have some immigration issues due to proximity , but so do we. I give, you S. Chicago, Dowtown.E. La, Detroit ect. It just looks different the French are extremely patriotic and take their culture seriously. The issues are on the outside off Paris and doesn't infiltrate the city. NYC is much worse. Just my take as a quasi local.

Thanks. The reports and data that I have seen make it look much worse

Maybe there is still hope for the UK. Huge public backlash for a job opening related to sharia law:

Unfortunately, they already have sharia courts in the UK. This positive sign might not have any further impact.

Very good to hear. Twitter makes it appear much worse

And I agree, NYC looks third world

Thats not what he said. He said they didnt teach English culture. Apparently, my guess is that American teens of the same age know more about British history than what he is being taught.

They assumed you already knew a lot about Christianity. Still totally bogus: a world religions class should include all five of the major historic belief systems plus as many of the others as possible.

I remember my Texas public school books talking about different religions in the early 2000s

Passages on Islam said "The Prophet Muhammed was a the leaders a religious community that expanded out from the Arabian peninsula" and things like that nature.

Just a given that he was a "Prophet"...not that he was claiming that...or that the early Arabs (some of them...not all) believe him to be a prophet.

While sections on Christianity always said "Jesus (who Christians believe to be a son of God) was thought to have lived.."

Explicitly stating that Christians just believe Jesus to be the son of God...even casing some doubt as to his actual historic existence...while Muhammed is apparently taken for granted as being a Prophet of God and being a undoubted real historic figure.

Of course there is lot of doubt about if Muhammed even existed at all...or was simple a creation of later Islamic writers and Arab mythos

I also remember very little discussion about Islamic conquest wars....map showing Islam's spread gave the reader the basic impression it was a natural process of religious growth and conversion in the region....and not the direct outcome of a rapid series of extremely violent and very bloody wars of Conquest against the Byzantines in the West (Christians) and the Persian Sasanian State (Zoroastrians) in the East.

Those books also gave a lot of time to Crusader wars against the Muslims and various Crusader led massacres....little on the other side to make you think they were anything other than being attacked without cause.

[the resolution, which purports lay out how current textbooks favor Islamic culture over Christian culture. Indeed, it counts them line by line, calling out one book for "devoting 120 student text lines to Christian beliefs, practices, and holy writings but 248 (more than twice as many) to those of Islam; and dwelling for 27 student text lines on Crusaders' massacre of Muslims at Jerusalem in 1099 yet censoring Muslims' massacres of Christians there in 1244 and at Antioch in 1268, implying that Christian brutality and Muslim loss of life are significant but Islamic cruelty and Christian deaths are not."]

You might be assuming too much: too many American teens know little to nothing about American history or any other history. Too often, what they "know", or think they know, about history and current events comes from Hollywood and social media. Both are terribly inaccurate sources of info. They are very good at propaganda, though. How else can one explain the numbers of votes for people like Joe Biden & Kamala Harris? (Other than massive fraud, which is also true).

That is one reason no doubt....and very outdated.

Almost half of young people under age 30 in the USA are not religious and grew up with very little practice or knowledge of Christianity in general.

Numbers probably even higher in Europe.

    [ According to a Pew Research Center study conducted in 2023-24, 44% of Americans aged 18 to 29 identify as religiously unaffiliated ]

My bad I only read the caption. But I agree with Historian, many young Americans know nothing about our history, they don't care to learn either

Young conservative men are an exception but the rest are in a bad spot. I feel like an old man but I blame the phones; kids are too distracted nowadays

The good news is that young Americans are shifting to the right. They are thinking for themselves and see through the lies of the fascists.

Even better, many people, especially younger people, are turning to Jesus Christ. We might be witnessing the beginning of another Great Awakening. How glorious that would be! Thank God!

Or the Arab/ Islamic slave trade out of Africa.

A vicious trade with endless war raids that went on for over a 1,000 years longer than did the European great powers slave trade on Africa's west coast

Their leaders govt have the spine to solve the problems they created over the past 20-30 years or more. Same with France, Germany, Canada, etc. It's absolutely insane that they have allowed this to continue so long and to get so bad.

It's the European version of the Great Replacement, what Biden & his handlers tried to do here.

They were suckered into it by the money of Soros and Open Society. "It's gonna be great, you'll love it. No borders, think of all the money you will save, people can come and go. You'll still keep your identities...just give us control and you won't have to worry about a thing."
