As for the specific Isaac, I can't say whether he has a history of being unfaithful or not, since I can't find a photo of him online somewhere😕
But here is what I’ve gathered from this thread so far:
1. Isaac is a Muslim (specifically, one of those Muslim "tourists")
2. Muslim refugees ruined several tourist seasons due to their behavior.
3. There is a suggestion that visas should be introduced for Islamists (though that's a different term entirely, and I'm not sure what the original post was actually getting at).
My questions, in order:
1. How exactly do you all know if Isaac is Muslim?
2. Regarding these claims—which I'm hearing for the very first time, though I won't pass judgment since I don't consider myself an expert—can anyone provide actual arguments backed by a methodologically sound sociological study of the tourism industry during the years '90, '91, '92 (if I recall correctly, that's when the refugees started arriving), '93, '94, and '95? I'm looking for a comparison with subsequent years, specifically factoring in the presence of those refugees and their conduct (I’d also appreciate it if we could define this "behavior" more clearly so we know what we're actually discussing). I ask because my family has been deeply 😁 tied to the tourism industry and seasonal trends since the 1970s. I have a pretty good grasp of how various seasons fluctuated—when things were "better," if we'll call it that—and when they were "slacker." However, I have never—and I mean *never*—heard that Muslim refugees had anything to do with it, let alone their behavior. In fact, tourists from certain countries are often stereotyped as being incredibly loud, uncivilized, messy, or cheap, yet I've never heard the argument that they impacted the industry in the way suggested at the start of this thread.
3. Can someone explain the relationship between Isaac, Muslims, and Islamists? What defines a Muslim versus an Islamist, and ultimately, which group does Isaac fall into and why (which circles back to my first question)? Also, how exactly would one "introduce visas for Islamists"? Which specific citizens of which nations are we talking about when we suggest implementing a visa regime for "Islamists"?
Let's start with answers to these before we move on.
