Saint_clark Posted 4 January, 2010 Share Posted 4 January, 2010 (edited) "Some" Anjem Choudary quotes........... He roared: “We do not integrate into Christianity. We will ensure that one day you will integrate into the Sharia Islamic law. Our eyes are on Downing Street.” “That is why the British are so afraid. It would be easy for us to declare Jihad in Britain and each one of us could become a time-bomb waiting to go off. But we are not people who betray.” ‘The mob bayed and cheered as he said: “About 500 people in Britain become Muslim every day. “The Home Office say there are 1.5million Muslims but there were 1.5million ten years ago. Since then our brothers in Bethnal Green, Whitechapel and other places have had eight or nine children each. Eight children here, ten children, 15 children. There must be at least six million people. “It may be by pure conversion that Britain will become an Islamic state. We may never need to conquer it from the outside.”’ What's most worrying is that he's right. Not about Islam being superior of course...

RedAndWhite91 Posted 4 January, 2010 Author Share Posted 4 January, 2010 Christianity was around before Jesus was born........buy a Bible, it is actually a good read!!! Think you'll find there was Judaism. Christianity began as a Jewish sect based on Jesus' life, teachings, miracles and what have you. Most of the old testament relates to Jewish faith and can be found in Hebrew bibles and it 'foresaw' a prophet. Judaism foresaw a prophet. Then Jesus was born and was considered to be the son of God... Followers of Jesus (disciples and others) began to worship him as the God incarnate and the sect of Christianity was born, as it were, after he died. It then continued to grow and grow into what we have today, becoming dominant in Europe in the 5th century, after it became the main faith of the Roman empire in about the 4th century, over 350 years after Jesus died.

RedAndWhite91 Posted 4 January, 2010 Author Share Posted 4 January, 2010 Islam came before Jesus, or so I was taught!!. Wrong, again. The Prophet Muhammad (founder of Islam, if you didn't know) was around from 570-632 AD (had to look that one up ) and that is obviously over 500 years after Jesus. Jesus is one of the original prophets that Muhammad (also a prophet) based his religion on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile on main street Posted 5 January, 2010 Share Posted 5 January, 2010 I think "let them get on with it and ignore them" is a bit idealistic. It'd be great if, to use an obvious example, sectarian marches in Northern Ireland and Glasgow were something people could just "ignore" but it's not that simple. The reason political/religious groups march is so that people can't ignore them. They're doing this to make a point and get a reaction and they'll doubtless get one.

It would certainly be nice if the national media took a bit of responsibility and toned down coverage of events like this for the good of everyone. After all, the only reason Islam4uk came up with this idea is because they knew that the tabloids would scream the place down. Without the coverage it would just be a few dozen oddballs walking down a mostly empty street with some placards. Unfortunately the media aren't there to do the responsible thing, just to get people to watch their programme/read their newspaper. So in a few months there'll be another stunt like this, and the reaction will be exactly the same. Sigh. I've used up my three posts all on one thread see youse tomorrow.

Trust the BNP to jump on the bandwagom, I don't find it all suprising that they don't mention the fact that this group are a radical group and don't represent all Muslims. Ho hum. Absolutely right, Islam UK is thought to have less than 100 members and they do have a track record of announcing demonstrations that gain a lot of publicity that they then don't show up for. Look back at the so-called "March for Sharia" planned for London on 31st October last year, they released a press statement, calling on all Muslims to join the march, the Daily Express put it on their front page under the banner headline "Now Muslims demand Sharia law" without mentioning it was a tiny, completely unrepresentative group of idiots. Islam UK claimed that 5,000 people would march - what actually happened... nothing. The day after the planned march, Islam UK announced that it had been cancelled due to "security concerns" which was about as believable as the excuses Pompey come up with for not paying players. A previous poster said that you shouldn't ignore small groups like this. I agree, but the way to deal with them is to not to give them excuses about how they are persecuted, but to show everyone where they stand. Islam UK remind me of the Westboro Baptists, a very tiny bunch of intolerant bigots who want to get us to overreact. They should be laughed at as we get on with living and working with our friends of all faiths and none. Don't hate Muslims just because Islam UK are idiots.

OK, but surely you must see the similarities between why both tne BNP and Islam4UK are found to be offensive, yet you only choose to protest against one group? The views or Islam4UK and other fundamentalist muslims should be as offensive if not more to you and those in your organisation than say the EDL, so why do the UAF turn out without fail to protest against the EDL, but have NEVER protested against anyone like or Islam4UK or anyone similar? I know you can't protest against everything you disagree with, but surely you can see the hyporcisy there? The irony is if you did protest against Islam4UK etc, it would massively take the wind out of the sails of the EDL and BNP, same way if there was a decent sized demo by moderate muslim, would help to shut up the EDL.

However, it really does not suit the agenda of those on the left such as the UAF etc to protest against them, absolute hypocrits the lot of them. Then why have some left wingers, myself included, spoken up against this march idea? Why have I signed up on Facebook (despite it being populated by people posting BNP crap, which the group originator states would be removed)? Too generalistic mate, far too.

Sheaf Saint Posted 6 January, 2010 Share Posted 6 January, 2010 He/they is much more than that. Just look at the storm they have managed to cause with this. It doesn't necesarrily matter is it is one bloke or 1million, if the UAF were genuinely concerned about race relations in the UK today, they would realise that Islam4UK/Choudary etc are as much of a threat to stability and cohesion than the EDL or BNP. They're the EDL's and BNP's biggest recruiting tool, but if you're happy with that then fair enough........ I think you do them a great dis-service by claiming that they do not. Just because they aren't shouting from the rooftops about it doesn't mean it doesn't concern them. And I haven't seen or read anything about the UAF condemning the EDL or BNP for what they proposed to do if the march went ahead either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

National Front get popular, the Anti Nazi League is set up in response. National Front spin off into the BNP, the Anti Nazi League join up with other groups to form Unite against Fascism. The BNP moan that Unite against Fascism are always in opposition to them and it's not fair. One bloke (Choudary) says that he wants Sharia Law in Britain and an Islamic dictatorship. The BNP and their EDL offshoot jump up and down about it and cause a stir that Choudary could not have created on his own. So what should UAF do? Do what the BNP wants UAF to do, which is completely abandon it's opposition against them and mobilise it's supporters against one fringe nutjob? I don't see the point of that.
