Learning from others......We should Take Notice

[MickeyW]

Figure out where we have gone wrong..?

* In just ten years? Hiroshima returned to what it was economically
vibrant before the fall of the atomic bomb.

* Japan prevents the use of mobile phones in trains, restaurants and
indoors.

* For first to sixth primary year Japanese students must learn ethics
in dealing with people.

* Even though one of the richest people in the world, the Japanese do
not have servants. The parents are responsible for the house and children.

* There is no examination from the first to the third primary level
because the goal of education is to instill concepts and character building.

* If you go to a buffet restaurant in Japan you will notice people
only eat as much as they need without any waste because food must not be
wasted.

* The rate of delayed trains in Japan is about 7 seconds per year!
The Japanese appreciate the value of time and are very punctual to
minutes and seconds.

* Children in schools brush their teeth (sterile) and clean their
teeth after a meal at school, teaching them to maintain their health
from an early age.

* Japanese students take half an hour to finish their meals to ensure
proper digestion because these students are the future of Japan.

The Japanese focus on maintaining their culture. Therefore,

HERE IS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING re Muslim Invasions


######################################################################
* No political leader or a prime minister from an Islamic nation has
visited Japan not the Ayatollah of Iran, the King of Saudi Arabia or even a
Saudi Prince!

* Japan is a country keeping Islam at bay by putting strict
restrictions on Islam and ALL Muslims INSIDE JAPAN.

1) Japan is the only nation that does not give citizenship to Muslims.
2) In Japan permanent residency is not given to Muslims.
3) There is a strong ban on the propagation of Islam in Japan
4) In the University of Japan, Arabic or any Islamic language is not taught.
5) One cannot import a 'Koran' published in the Arabic language.
6) According to data published by the Japanese government, it has
given temporary residency to only 2 lakhs, Muslims, who must follow
the Japanese Law of the Land. These Muslims should speak Japanese and
carry their religious rituals in their homes.
7) Japan is the only country in the world that has a negligible number
of embassies in Islamic countries.
8) Muslims residing in Japan are the employees of foreign companies.
9) Even today, visas are not granted to Muslim doctors, engineers or
managers sent by foreign companies.
10) In the majority of companies it is stated in their regulations
that no Muslims should apply for a job.
11) The Japanese government is of the opinion that Muslims are
fundamentalist, and even in the era of globalization they are not
willing to change their Muslim laws.
12) Muslims cannot even rent a house in Japan.
13) If anyone comes to know that his neighbor is a Muslim then the
whole neighborhood stays alert.
14) No one can start an Islamic cell or Arabic 'Madrasa' in Japan ..
15) There is no Sharia law in Japan .
16) If a Japanese woman marries a Muslim, she is considered an outcast
forever.
17) According to Mr. Kumiko Yagi, Professor of Arab/Islamic Studies at
Tokyo

University of Foreign Studies, " There is a mind frame in Japan that
Islam is a very narrow minded religion and one should stay away from
it."

The Japanese might have lost the war, but they are in charge of their
own country.

There are no bombs going off in crowded business centers, "Honor
Killings", nor killing of innocent children or anyone else.

Something to think about......

Of all the nations I visited during my Navy career and afterwards, Japan was by far the most xenophobic.

That, and I recommend that you visit Singapore, which is a Muslim city-state. It's a very, very peaceful and prosperous city...and it's as clean, perhaps even cleaner than Japan. It was one of my favorite ports of call.

I suggest you go check your Islamophobia at the door.

Thank you for your input on this.

I was just posting some facts .....that I wasn't even searching for....and found the above.

As you probably know....One Size Does Not Fit All. So, what works in Singapore will not in other places, the same with Japan, and many other places. I always say...follow the money. If money talks loudest in Singapore...Islam may be tempered somewhat. And I doubt you were privileged to see much of the oppression that takes place there........behind the scenes. I know that when I was being pleasured by some sweet, soft, native girl......that was all I cared about. Politics and/or religion ...were unimportant.

Ethics in dealing with people = banning all persons of a particular religion (?)

Character building = learning how to ignore all muslims (?)

If it works for them......who's to say it's a bad thing?

As stated above, much of the crapola going on in the USA and Europe....is not going on in Japan.

 

[Chaddelamancha]

That's more about proximity and involvement on our part. Latin America doesn't have a ban on Muslims, yet there's no attacks going on there.

Latin America is inundated with criminal activity and slums..........................I mean why would they?

When I went on port calls - after I learned to stop trying to find the nearest bar girl - I learned to buy local English-language newspapers and read them. I always ate the local cuisine (and paid the price a couple times) and did my best to resist the American fast food places. When possible I tried to interact with the locals, to learn a bit about them.

And I learned more than I realized at the time.

For instance, to further address the OP, I've got a house in Manila, and LOTS of family there. There's lots of Muslims in Manila...but they have zero political influence. The people are kind and peaceful (and IMO generally happier even though they are in poverty than are most Americans), but the government is incredibly corrupt - I once paid off a judge to get my brother in law out of jail for drugs, and my son and I have both bribed cops to forget our tickets.

Thing is, if the lack of Muslim influence is what the author of the OP thinks is the secret to success, then he should go to Manila for a while - the Catholics are in charge and have been for hundreds of years...just like they have been throughout most of the third-world nations of South America and in Mexico. Are we starting to see a pattern here?

Bear in mind that I am a strong Christian (but neither Catholic nor protestant), but I can say with conviction that the presence or absence of Muslims is not an appreciable factor when it comes to the success or failure of a culture or society.

What IS a factor...is the weakness of the democratic government. The weaker the democratic government, the less successful the nation generally is.

Very good GC. A person who has lived the life is a great source of information.

Why then, do you think there is such a vast difference in Muslim control in various countries....and the lack of it in other countries?
I've read somewhere in the last couple of years, that the Muslims have taken over a lot of the Philippines....or at least some of the islands.

Funny thing is, when I was having those experiences, I never realized how much they really meant until much later. Sorta like climbing a mountain, getting near the top, exhausted...until one looks down to see just how far one has come.

What most Americans don't get about Islam is that when it comes to government, corruption, and violence, it's really not that much different from mainstream "Christianity" throughout the great majority of its history. It's only within the past couple hundred years that mainstream "Christianity" has become generally less violent as a religious force (though one can simply point to the World Wars as evidence otherwise).

Just like "Christian" nations, Islamic nations run the gamut from deep poverty to astounding riches. It's not as different as one wants to believe. Next to Syria, the most dangerous nation to live in is very Catholic Honduras.

I should mention here is that I put mainstream "Christianity" in quotes because I am a Christian, and my beliefs differ significantly from the vast majority of "Christians" out there. No offense is meant, of course.

As far as the Philippines goes, the Muslims won't have much influence in the government itself for the foreseeable future. They may someday have a form of self-government in the southern islands, but not on the main island.
