jeff leopard Posted 18 September, 2009 Share Posted 18 September, 2009 Fark being in a trench alongside Bearsy & Pancake eh... Ahhh, that's nice everyone's friends again. So children, lets go over what we've learnt today. Only people who have served in the armed forces can say which days people can and can't protest on. The reason behind this is far too obvious to state. And people can only protest as long as its not against the armed forces, which sounds fine to me, and lets face it, anyone who isn't in the armed forces is a coward. If in doubt remember the equation, white people shouting at coloured people - so british it makes my heart sing, coloured people shouting at white people - the worst insult imaginable. And the Nazi Party/NF/BNP/Black Shirts/what ever they call themselves these days are all lovely people who definitely aren't racists. Agreed? Good, lets all move on with our lives. Join us next week for another episode of 'extremists say the funniest things!' p.s. I love all of you. p.p.s. delldays, sometimes I think I love you a bit too much. i've got some photo's if you're up for trading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's far too sensible for this forum warwick. When I returned home from the Falklands in '82 - there weren't any protesting Argentinians on the quayside. If there had have been - I've no doubt whatsoever most (if not all of us) would have given them a good slap & thrown them over the dockside in the sea. How times change.

OldNick Posted 18 September, 2009 Share Posted 18 September, 2009 Can I ask are muslims allowed to join or is it only for all others? This type of thing is more likely to make them more militant than not.If muslims feel margianalised by the wider populaion they may well move to safety in numbers and join in with their friends. Iam right wing in a lot of things but this seems a odd group. Surely we pay taxes for us to be defended and so it is already sorted surely?

Bentley Posted 18 September, 2009 Share Posted 18 September, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks everything which leads up to topics like this is because of certain media outlets? C'mon people, I think we all know that Muslims mostly don't preach DEATH TO THE UK without being arrested, like anyone else would. Most have quiet peaceful protests about certain issues. Just newspapers and the internet jump on it so fast that the situation isn't the same one once they are finished editing it. You always here about "Oh, we can't say it's Christmas anymore, as it will offend people", that usually is one over-zealous think tank council member who's idea gets shot down by the others at the first sensible opportunity, but people read the stories that the newspapers have spun, and thus is born ignorance. Please people, let's get a ****ing clue. This 'solution' won't help one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The group seems to have an issue with one protest which was very poorly attended and happened ages ago. I don't know where people get this idea that our culture is being worn down or threatened by Muslim extremists. It is not the real world.

badgerx16 Posted 18 September, 2009 Share Posted 18 September, 2009 after it has been raised quite a few times and used as a counter arguement I have YET to see you have a pop at those who spill hate filled racist anti-british bile at returning servicemen....you just seem to pass it off as freedom of speech...despite some of the stuff being racist with undertones of treason in their vibe (which are both illegal) and I do know of some of the things chanted/said by those muslim whack-jobs that day.. that is utterly disgraceful IMO that is from someone who has done 10 years in the forces....utterly disgraceful Surely the question that has to be asked is, if the 'protesters' were inciting hatred, or committing treason, or whatever else they might be accused of; why were they not arrested and charged ? There were plenty of Old Bill on hand, and surely some senior officer at the scene should have been able to judge whether their 'freedom of speech' crossed the line ? Notwithstanding that, we all saw the pictures on the TV, and saw the press reports. If any of them committed a crime, arrest them, charge them, and bl00dy well prosecute them using the Law on the land. And the same would go for the EDF mob as well.

Crab Lungs Posted 18 September, 2009 Share Posted 18 September, 2009 I have Radio Lancashire on my alarm, it goes off at 6:00 every morning; never heard the call to prayer though. Nor have I ever found an Islamic teashop. Why not complain about the 'Sikh-isation' of parts of So'ton or the west midlands, of the Hinduisation of Leicester, or the cultural isolationism of Chinatown in Manchester ? There are streets in Blackpool where the To Let signs are in Polish - they even have a special Polish foods section in TESCO. If you want to be xenophobic and alarmist, please be consistent. Your point is flawed. I'm unaware of any radical Hindu, Chinese, Polish or Sikh groups who are openly (or secretly) peddling extremism (though the Polish are a bit, well... extreme in some cases - don't see many of them marching with banners wishing for our soldiers to die in Iraq, Afghanistan etc) So it might be worth being consistent. I do believe there are many, many people who are feircely (rightly) patriotic about their country from all creeds and religions - and I believe alot of people's perceptions have been tainted by the appearance of some of the demonstrators. A skinhead does not automatically mean a Nazi. Neither does any man of asian appearance automatically mean they are an extremist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKgK-0HwN30&feature=player_embedded#t=16 "They don't want equality they want superiority'' Now this is a worrying comment in some respects but what if it there is an element of truth in it? Regardless, I think the people on the pulse are neither the left or right wing (obviously) but those on the middle ground and who are unaffected by media reports either way. One personal viewpoint is the problem lies within the local and national governments who are too afraid to say "no" to inflammatory organisations and shut them down. Organisations of this nature, regardless of their political leaning only have one objective - to stir hatred. The UK is too soft on extremism and we do need to adopt a hardline policy. Britons by nature are accepting and tolerant people but the same cannot be said for some middle eastern and asian nationals who are hellbent on this bizarre idealism of radicalising the world and peddling hatred. I can't imagine a Pakistani or Lebanese police department allowing a pro-Christian demonstration in their own backyards. The EDL will have to be careful they don't get infiltrated by the BNP, or their message will soon become more distorted and whatever credibility they have left will be lost.

The Shoe Bomber and Exeter Bomber were white, but still extremests.

I visit one of the local mosques after prayers on Fridays as part of my job and ordinary Muslims are scared, but not of the Far Right Brits, but of the Far Right Muslims. They fear of being tarred with the same brush as the "Taliban" and of speaking out against them. What I do find ning boggling ist sot some on here seem to think Neo-Fascist Isla thn the streets = free speech but scream like hysterical children when their opponents take to the streets. I happen to agree that the far right are playing into the hands of the far right Islamists but to dismiss, out out of hand, the concerns of a large swathe of the population of these isles is ignorant and best and suggests a closed mind.

By "our" I mean this country Once able to label another as an aquaintance, surely you would expect them to be welcoming ? Prejudice/ignorance is inherent, when those that make up a community commit acts of terrorism it becomes difficult for those not of that community to differentiate and as a consequence easier for the extremist within that community to gain influence.

It is about race, regardless of the ethnic identity of particular individuals. The EDL is racist and the Salafists are racists. (Richard Reid, the shoe bomber is not white, by the way). The EDL are racist agent provocateurs trying to create their own rivers of blood and the Salafists are actually disgustingly contemptuous of whites. Who are the 'some on here' that you talk about? The usual straw men? And you're wrong about the far right playing into the hands of Salafists - they both need each other in this particular fight, and they both know it. Both know that violence on the streets is a recruiting sergeant. The victims are the people caught in the middle of it. Because of the chosen battlegrounds, almost all of them are Asian.

That's just adding fuel to their fire. Of course the question there would be how DO you counteract them then? I'd argue that in some circumstances "tolerance" and "sympathy" can be the worst things possible. Do you think every single German in 1933-1939 really hated jews, slavs etc. and wanted them to be exterminated? Do you think all and every single one of them were right behind Hitler and the Nazi's during their rise to power? Course not but the problem was whilst the majority or at least not every single one of the German people probably didn't honestly want a genocide to take place; they DID sympathise with the Nazi feelings of being oppressed and hurt by the war guilt clauses, being ashamed of their nationality and as a result tolerated their far-right, highly nationalist views. Blunt truth? At some point, tolerance and symapthy really do have to go out the window and make way for "THAT is an unpardonable sin and YOU must be stopped" Now - intimidation and seperation of asians or indeed anyone who doesn't meet a given criteria of "Englishness" I don't think is the way to handle things at all. But something has to be done, and a head-in-the-sand approach is just as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona Posted 18 September, 2009 Share Posted 18 September, 2009 I can't tell who's being ironic on this thread anymore. :-s FWIW I think the EDL preach a fair enough message, i.e. supporting British troops and denouncing Islamic extremism, but in reality it is never going to function in civilised society. Whilst most members I am sure tollerate liberals of all races, a group like that is always likely to attract the far right Combat 18 types who just want to chuck bricks at Muslims. I will not be joining that group, but that doesn't mean I do not support our troops or that I am a 'left-wing mussy-loving' nutcase etc. Seems to be a lot of people putting bullsh*t words in other people's mouths on this thread just to discredit the 'other side'. Nobody is saying the behaviour of the extremist minority at the soldier's parade is acceptable. Nobody is slating Islam as a religion or saying they don't belong here. It's sad that we can't have this debate without such petulance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasiak-9- Posted 18 September, 2009 Share Posted 18 September, 2009 Conducting foreign policy in a way that doesn't **** these people off, and supplying the means to give populations educaton, information, etc.. means they are less likely to become radicalised. See this is the trouble Nearly all of our foreign policy ****s these people off. Intervening in Iraq where millions were slaughtered by an evil dictatorship ****ed these people off. Our very presence in the "holy land" to protect the lives of innocence ****s these people off. non-muslim women not wearing burkhas ****s these people off. how far do you pander to their demands?

bigtonesfc Posted 18 September, 2009 Author Share Posted 18 September, 2009 Whoever said I was neutral, or that I was supposed to be? I'm impartial when it comes to disagreements between members, and I'll moderate threads with an impartial air, for sure, but I won't and don't have to remain opinionless. Tone, no one is on the side of people who cheer when British soldiers are killed, that's actually highly insulting of you, but rock-throwing, neanderthal pressure groups are absolutely NOT the way to counteract these people. That's just adding fuel to their fire. I find it equally if not more insulting that i have to explain why im so angry with the scum who killed our lads,and have family waiting in our towns to abuse the men that fight to allow them to live here to carryon abusing them!But you carry on supporting them!I couldnt live with that on my conscience.
