    Show me the fucking data then you muppet

    Oh, please elaborate. What data specifically are you asking for? No vague strawmen, but an actual argument and a specific datapoint that is something that is measurable?

    You’re arguing in bad faith to begin with, and then you go on and ignore all the arguments put to you. You talk about integration, but then instead of actually integrating, you advocate for segregation of the sexes and religions by ignoring the points that you’d have to actually build separate facilities for burka wearing girls to eat and they wouldn’t participate in PE or at least shower afterwards, which would be unhygienic.

    It’s downright obvious you’re trolling as hard you can to get me to say “we won’t accept blabla islam blabla”, but we do. Integration is always a compromise, and the compromise some cultures (which happen to also be majority muslim) have had to make is for instance stopping the genital mutilation of girls. That’s just illegal here, no matter what culture you come from. Sorry, but that’s unacceptable, no matter what you believe in. Burkas and Niqabs aren’t, but when it comes to education in Finnish schools, afraid there’s no room for them, for very practical reasons.

    Ramadan is accommodated, because not eating doesn’t require a separate space be built. But some veiled space where girls can be protected from the lusty eyes of… checks notes… elementary school aged boys? Nah.

        You literally ignore every other word from my comment saying that you’re ignoring everything, except the part where I say it’s obvious you’re trolling [because you’re constantly ignoring the actual points made].

        You don’t see the irony in your reply which ignores >98% of my reply?
