Because it's not their homeland. It takes much more than just being here to claim our piece of land as your homeland. Only Slovenians have that right.

Who is the majority in Kosovo? It is part of Serbia as far as I know, though under UN administration. Are Albanians a majority in Kosovo? Are Serbs? Who forms an electoral majority in this instance?

Albanians do.

In Kosovo, is there a legal treaty or proposed treaty with Serbia allowing for a Kosovar state or ceding Kosovo to Albania? To my knowledge, no treaties exist between Serbia and Albania regarding Kosovo.

If Kosovo achieves independence, would it suddenly become Albanian homeland?

By my logic, Ireland's division is perfectly rational, and reasonable, as the majority of the people in the northeast of the country seceded from the rest of Ireland to remain in the UK. They were constitutionally and legally allowed to do this under the terms of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, and they did. They secured their homeland of then 300 years, Ulster, as a division of the United Kingdom. You must remember that the law does not allow for popular opinion to influence it, but is an objective standard.

You're missing my point. We had Germans living here perfectly legally, but still that wouldn't mean Slovenia is their homeland.

As far as an electoral majority of Moslems in Europe is concerned, when and if they take over then yes, they will claim Europe as an Islamic homeland, even if the native Europeans dispute this.

But will they have right to do this?

However, it is the task of the people's of Europe to prevent a Moslem Europe from becoming a reality, if they can.

Of course here I agree.

"The two-party-system and the artificial division between left and right is especially malign because it confines people into mental prisons, from which they are almost not able to get out. Even in a one-party-system it is mentally easier to be "in the opposition", "against the system". In the two-party-system (which is in fact one-party-system as well), on the other hand, if the left is currently in the office and you are opposed to the system, it is automatically assumed that you are a "rightist", ie. supporter of the party of the right. And vice versa. Most people refuse to see that the two major parties are in fact one and the same party. Thus the liberal democracy, especially in its venomous two-party variety, is the most successful system of totalitarian manipulation ever invented. Each of the two parties usually has a very dedicated voting herd, needless to say."
