whelk Posted 26 March, 2016 Share Posted 26 March, 2016 The peaceful religion strikes again. Let's hear the excuses for this one, of you go. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3509367/Muslim-shopkeeper-stabbed-death-hours-posted-happy-Easter-message.html Are you really saying that every Muslim wants to stab shopkeepers? I for one not sure I agree. Be interesting to see if SOG agrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerx16 Posted 26 March, 2016 Share Posted 26 March, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35903066 An article in the Sun that claimed nearly one in five UK Muslims had "sympathy for Jihadis" was misleading, the new press regulator has ruled.

sadoldgit Posted 26 March, 2016 Author Share Posted 26 March, 2016 Where is that implied? One or two posters may have stated that at one point but just for the avoidance of any doubt anyone who actually says that and believes it is a total idiot. I shouldn't have to point out something so obvious but I'm doing a soggy and pointing it out anyway so I can feel superior. You don't have to post anything in order to feel superior Hypo.

sadoldgit Posted 26 March, 2016 Author Share Posted 26 March, 2016 Do you really think that when someone says "they" they actually mean every single Muslim? Does every post on here have to contain the caveat that not every Muslim is a terrorist at every opportunity? I think we've been over this point enough times on this very thread that it doesn't have to be repeated ad nauseum. How much of this thread have you read? It would appear that some posters believe that we are at threat from Muslims full stop. Do you have anything to say about the Islamaphobes?

sadoldgit Posted 26 March, 2016 Author Share Posted 26 March, 2016 Even you can't be thick enough to think that anyone on this thread thinks or even suggests that all Muslims are terrorists. I know you love it, because it gives you the fish-in-a--barrel easy win for you to grandstand against an entirely fictional standpoint but for Allah's sake give it a flamin' rest. So this is it. Here's your recognition. Have a fu cking medal. Not all Muslims are terrorists. Well done. Jolly well done. What insight. What a brave position to take against all of no one that thinks that on here. So brave. You're so much more gooderer and superior to everyone else it's untrue. I've let the PM know and he's sending a car round in the morning. Your groundbreaking insight is wasted on this football forum when there are far knottier geopolitical challenges for you take on. Get out there and change minds. Got nothing to say about the Islamaphobes then Fry? Talking about fish in a barrel, do they come in your too difficult category? Nice to see you buddy post right after you. You make such a cute couple. Start digging out the people on here that deserve it and you might start gaining some respect instead of continuing your usual trolling behaviour. Neither you nor your partner have taken any of the clear racists on here to task. Why is that? I see to remember you getting all shirty about me not naming names. Well I don't have to because they have outed themselves big time. But you seem to have a bigger problem with someone who says that all Muslims are not to be feared. For someone of your fearsome reputation that shows a particular lack of backbone. I can understand Hypo bottling it by the great CB Fry? Sheesh.

Granted there have been a couple of obvious racists but they've already been dismissed earlier in the thread (no I'm not trawling through to find it- look for yourself if you like). The likes of sour mash may have posted provocatively but I don't believe that they've claimed that all Muslims are terrorists, simply that the proliferation of an Islamic culture in Europe has coincided with more terrorist attacks and may mean we are more at risk of this type of thing in the future. For the thousandth time that doesn't mean all Muslims are terrorists or that it's some novel idea to defend moderate Muslims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I agree with you there- certainly not the way you state it as a fact. As has already been stated, it is foolish to attribute the death to some anti Christian nutter before the motives are actually known. It's too premature to say that either way so in that sense it is an impulsive and ill advised post. I can't say it's racist or islamaphobic though, it is potentially another example of violence linked to Islam after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if you comprehended what was being said, we have clearly moved on from saying that all Muslims are terrorists. My reply was "I have seen some generalisations in my time but this takes the biscuit. "They" ??? All 1 billion of them???" So I was challenging the inference that not only do "they" blow people up but that all Muslim women cant leave their homes without covering their heads etc. "All."

Sour Mash Posted 26 March, 2016 Share Posted 26 March, 2016 Ultimately Islam is an aggressive religion at odds with Western civilisation. I don't hold same extreme views as others but it is a problem for the west and those who want to deny this are naive. How is Islam is an aggressive religion at odds with Western civilization They blow people up on a huge scale. Women can't leave their homes without covering their heads. Banning basic every day food and drink items.

There does appear to be a particular problem with Islamic extremism though which I think was the point being made (rather than any implied racism that you and soggy want to jump on.) To be fair, it's not just Soggy and I. If you look back a few pages there are a good few rational posters on here that share the same view of SMs posts in particular but he's not alone. I'm surprised that you can't see it to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 26 March, 2016 Share Posted 26 March, 2016 Still not answering the question then. Sorry, I can't take anyone seriously that thinks we have the same problem with Buddhist terrorists as we do with Islamic terrorists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoPints Posted 26 March, 2016 Share Posted 26 March, 2016 Sorry, I can't take anyone seriously that thinks we have the same problem with Buddhist terrorists as we do with Islamic terrorists That wasn't the question and that wasn't the answer. But I can see how you only see what you want to see. Any answer to the question about who 'they' are yet by the way? No, thought not but I think it's quite clear what you meant.

So you think there is more of a problem with Islamic terrorism than other religions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
