It is no more silly than trying to reason with you. That was the point. Refusing to admit that Greenland is a colony is no different from the pet shop owner refusing to admit the parrot is dead.

It is not a colony. It is an autonomous territory and prefers it. In your strange mind wrongly calling it a colony is an excuse to steal it. You know who agrees with you? No one. Find a single (serious) news article that refers to it as a colony.
 
No one is proposing that.
Imams are being invited to speak in Catholic and Anglican churches. There is a organisation in Africa called Chrislam, which is a merger of Muslim and Christian beliefs. Many call Islam an "Abrahamic" religion. That is entirely false.

The 1953 Constitution of Denmark ended Greenland's status as a colony, integrating it fully into the Danish state.

The parrot is still alive.
 
Hold it a second, are you seriously telling us that Trump is wrong to want to control Greenland and you don't even know why? LOL Wow.

Didn't you hear that both Trump and Hegseth pointed out that during WW2 they did control Greenland for strategic reasons to fight the war.

I'm not interested in teaching you the strategic value of Greenland in WW2. So instead I used up 5 seconds of my time to get this from the internet

During World War II, Greenland held significant strategic military value for several key reasons:


Air Routes and Aviation Greenland sat along the great circle route between North America and Europe, making it crucial for transatlantic air operations. The island provided essential staging points and emergency landing sites for aircraft crossing the Atlantic, which was particularly important before long-range aircraft became common. The U.S. established several airbases there, including the critical Bluie West One (now Narsarsuaq) and Bluie West Eight (now Kangerlussuaq/Sondrestrom).


Weather Stations Control of Greenland's weather stations was vital for predicting weather patterns affecting military operations in the North Atlantic and Europe. Weather systems typically moved from west to east, so Greenland provided early warning of conditions that would reach European battlefields. Both the Allies and Germans recognized this importance and fought a little-known "weather war" with competing expeditions trying to establish and destroy each other's weather stations.


North Atlantic Security Greenland's position allowed monitoring of the Denmark Strait and other northern sea routes, helping to protect convoys from U-boat attacks. The U.S. presence there also prevented German occupation, which would have given the Kriegsmarine valuable bases for submarine operations against Allied shipping.


Cryolite Mining The mine at Ivittuut produced cryolite, a mineral essential for aluminum production and therefore aircraft manufacturing. This was one of the only significant sources worldwide, making it strategically vital to deny it to the Axis powers.


After Denmark fell to Germany in 1940, the U.S. effectively took control of Greenland through an agreement with the Danish ambassador, establishing a precedent for American military presence there that extended well into the Cold War.
Something that Mr Trump seems unable to comprehend: "agreement with the Danish ambassador." America has form of course. Mexico can testify to that.

Second time I have had to print a retraction today. Yes, it is true, they are no longer a colony. But apparently the way "citizens" of Denmark that live is Greenland are treated, it would be better off being a colony. Perhaps the real reason that Denmark doesn't want to lose control of Greenland is that the truth concerning their horrific crimes will come to light.

After hearing this, that I just stumbled over, I would say Denmark should take it's hands off Greenland! Margret Sangers dreams being realized. Now I really do hope the people of Greenland choose America.

Ummm you skipped the little part about "after Denmark fell to Germany". So you are saying we should wait until Denmark falls to Russia and China?

The first is ecumenism, to build understanding. Some years back our police visited a mosque and listened, does not mean they want to combine Islam and the police. Christam is some weird religion and they are plenty of those. It is not the first wacky group.
 
If necessary, yes. Why should America become like the other nations that have no respect for human rights? Russia is doomed, by the way.
Have you seen the post about what Denmark has done to those who live in Greenland? How do you see what they are doing to those people and then just ignore that? The US is not perfect, but definitely better than what Denmark has done.

Subsidize their living standards? Awful.
 
they rob them off their children and declare they are unfit to be parents.

No they do not. You realize they are half Denmark and half North American, right? I'd call them indigenous, but they really aren't. They'd occasionally wander into the west side of the island while Denmark had colonies in the east, unaware of each other.

Do you not get it? Greenland gets to decide, not America. It's not the 19th century. Do you how many countries oppress their own people? Is America planning to annex them all? Mr Trump has yet to honour his promise to help the people of Iran. Denmark is not slaughtering the people of Greenland. Greenland has a great deal of autonomy. Do you not yet realise that not everyone in the world wants the American way of life? It's the main reason that America has messed up Afghanistan and Iraq. America is about to screw up Gaza if it gets its way, for the same reason.

There is nothing to understand. Islam is Antichrist to the core. Did the police get to preach in the mosque? Chrislam was formed to try and reduce conflict. It's a fool's errand because light cannot have fellowship with darkness. That has not stopped the Catholic organisation inviting Imams to preach.

That is a good attitude about people in a community. The goal is to address the hatred and lack of understanding about others.

Did the police get to preach in the mosque?

That would be grossly inappropriate. They observed and listened about the community because they serve that community.

That has not stopped the Catholic organisation inviting Imams to preach.

Catholic organizations do not invite imams to preach. They will not be allowed to speak at a Mass (service). They may be invited to meet at a community center but not to preach.

I've been reading up on so-called interfaith dialogue. I've read what the catholic hierarchy has to say. I know what the Bible has to say. Friendship with the world is enmity with God. Islam is darkness. it can have no fellowship with the Light. Except the Catholic organisation rejects that truth.

It's nothing personal. My heart specialist is Muslima. The cardiac ward senior physician likewise. I had a Muslim anaesthetist for one procedure. All nice enough people. But fellowship? No. Impossible. They reject Jesus. "Who is not for me is against me". That is antichrist.

No, the Catholic Church does not have the same opinion as you. Most other mainstream Christian groups do not share you opinion. There is nothing wrong with having greater understanding instead of shunning people because you think they are evil. There are only a handful of bigoted small groups that promote the idea that certain people are evil and cannot be spoken with.
Now I believe that Islam is evil and disgusting. That does not mean I refuse to enter a mosque or simple dialogue with a person who believes differently than I do.

It is not "fellowship." I think you are missing the point. It is about being able to discuss faith without being a jerk.

Oh yeah how stupid of me, Greenland gets to decide. Throughout human history it has always been that way that the land with 50,000 people gets to decide, not the country with 350,000,000. My bad, I should have studied human history in school.

Putin, is that you?

You cannot simply take the land of people. How do you live with yourself saying stuff like that?
