- 25-04-2012, 09:14 #62Pedantic I know, but I knew one man who insisted on racially and religiously abusing his neighbour on the grounds he was a Muslim, when actually he was a Sudanese Coptic Christain. Never mind, dark skin and squiggly writing, all the same isn't it.From The Sun, but it seems our initial response of "It's the Muslim extremists again" is right.
1) "It's the Muslim extremists again", well since every threat report published by the government has said that the principal terrorist threat to national security comes from AQ-inspired terrorism why is that such as surprise?
2) Why is it pretty much always them? Well, did we ask that question between 1969 and now in relation to the Irish?
Please the nice clean shaven western clothed man below.A suspect’s neighbour said of the Muslim: “He’s a nice friendly guy who always says hello. I can’t recall him ever having a beard or wearing traditional clothes.”
3) Linking to The Trojan Horse. Why do you bring that up?
Would you actually like me to explain the salafist-jihadi world view, or do we just want to say "muzzie+brown=bad"?
PS-Discussing the specifics of a case where the persons have just been arrested is reckless at best. Do you at least see where I am coming from on that? I'm not trying to score points, I just think that it is highly dangerous to discuss individual cases and addresses at point of arrest! Innocent till proven and all that.

Yeah, that's why I haven't concluded definitively it is them yet. However I have not yet seen other news articles saying "Oh, actually it is the EDL". Have you?
More than I care to elaborate or that you presume.1) Do you actually know any muslims?
And of those percent maybe 0.000001% are actively trying to kill us. But as July 7 showed it is a few too many.2) How many Muslims live in the UK and what percentage does this army of 5 represent?
Secondly it is their growth rate which is of greater concern. Jihad is total war on all fronts - including conquest by demographics and taqqiya.

I oppose any form of illegal harrassment or abuse of Muslims. However the government must call on Muslims to clarify their position in society and we must hold them to account.
Maybe because they are such a threat to national security?1) "It's the Muslim extremists again", well since every threat report published by the government has said that the principal terrorist threat to national security comes from AQ-inspired terrorism why is that such as surprise?
They are waging war not only with bombs in the streets but also by demographic (higher birth and religious growth rates) and other conquest.
Well even the most extreme IRA didn't want to destroy the infidel now, did they? How is it possible to co-exist with someone who wants to destroy you for your beliefs? Where is the middle ground?2) Why is it pretty much always them? Well, did we ask that question between 1969 and now in relation to the Irish?
I detest racism, but we should have the right to criticise religion, which one believes by choice. Rowan Atkinson said it very well:3) Linking to The Trojan Horse. Why do you bring that up?
Would you actually like me to explain the salafist-jihadi world view, or do we just want to say "muzzie+brown=bad"?
BBC NEWS | UK | Politics | Atkinson's religious hate worry
He added: "To criticise a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous but to criticise their religion, that is a right. That is a freedom.
"The freedom to criticise ideas, any ideas - even if they are sincerely held beliefs - is one of the fundamental freedoms of society.
"A law which attempts to say you can criticise and ridicule ideas as long as they are not religious ideas is a very peculiar law indeed."We are just talking about what is on the news.PS-Discussing the specifics of a case where the persons have just been arrested is reckless at best.

I see that the Suns reporting is aimed at the intellectual level of its readership. They obviously managed to secure an interview with a Luton member of the quantum physics and philosophical debating society. Quote "A suspect's neighbour said of the Muslim: He's a nice friendly guy who always says hello. I can,t recall him ever having a beard or wearing traditional clothes" Absolutely priceless.
In other news the Sun reporter Piggy Malone interviewed the neighbour of a serial burglar, the neighbour said " He was a lovely bloke, i never once saw him looking shifty and wearing a stripy jumper and a mask".Political correctness, A discredited and dogmatic ideology, the antithesis of free speech,
championed only by those who stand to gain from division and disunity.

I like it when people start chucking that word about, especially when a "taqiyah" (or prayer cap) is more common than a "taqqiya".Jihad is total war on all fronts - including conquest by demographics and taqqiya
So do we now engage in collective punishment? I once hear a chap in the Ulster context referring to the breeding rates of Catholics as further proof of the satanic plan of the Pope in Rome.it is their growth rate which is of greater concern
It appears that not only the enemy has declared war on all front, but you have too. Even family is a weapon.
Funny, I would have thought you would have criticised one Islamist thinker (I think it was Ayman Al-Zawahiri) who declared that Jewish children were legitimate targets as they would grow up to become soldiers and Jewish mothers too, on the same grounds that they would bring up fighters too.
I am very worried at your comments, as you seem to be at the thin end of the wedge. When you loose the ability to accept that there are innocents on all sides, I think it is time to have a cup of tea and take a long hard look in the mirror.
Now if I have done you an injustice, I apologise. I think you are playing with some concepts there in those brief 4 sentences that are like matches in their potential for danger.

It ain't necessarily so:
Read more: Bottles and smoke bombs thrown at English Defence League demonstration in Bradford | Mail OnlineOne EDL supporter, a Muslim called Abdul Salaam, 40, from Glasgow, was escorted into the gardens by police under a chorus of shouting from opponents.
It was like that when I got here.

Police to arrest Twitter users who revealed name of Ched Evans rape victim - Telegraph
The above is a specific breach of law.
For the avoidance of any doubt:
What is done in cyberspace has real legal consequence.
I am happy to debate anything in general-but do not, repeat, do not encourage anyone to identify persons who may have been arrested or persons connected with a police enquiry for any reason, no matter how well intentioned.If we can establish the identity of even one of the arrested suspects (e.g. Mohammed Haji etc in name) then we have probably established the nature of the alleged terrorist group. It is unlikely the EDL would have a Mohammed in their group, and vice versa!
I don't care whether or not that seems fair; you can take your chances with the criminal law if you want to do any more, but this have been brought to your attention.
