holepuncture Posted 30 March, 2016 Share Posted 30 March, 2016 The 'moderates' couldn't care less about you lot, as you are not part of the disgraceful mob, frankly they consider you as beneath them. As for women, they consider you as nothing more than a domestic animal, like a dog. "Taqiyya" It is widely reported that around 15-25% sympathise or endorse extremism, that's a few hundred million problems for the rest of the world. "Taqiyya" They don't have any regard for me or for you, don't delude yourself to think otherwise. This will define us for generations, rather than squabbling, appeasing and sympathising, we need to think about the future. They're a danger to us all, they're a danger to themselves. We need to sort this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 30 March, 2016 Share Posted 30 March, 2016 Why does it matter where they are protesting? The fact that they exist and are clearly protesting openly is enough to fulfill the stated definition. So a handful of people wondering along with a few placards, no-where near, in sight or sound, of who they're protesting against is a backlash? If the people they're meant to be opposing don't even know about it? It's not a strong negative reaction. It's not antagonistic. However much you want it to be so.

Sour Mash Posted 30 March, 2016 Share Posted 30 March, 2016 You seem to be protesting about the failure of the Muslim community to respond to the terrorist problems in a manner that is open and supported by significant numbers. You also intimate that the lack of such a reaction is tantamount to condoning the Islamist extremists. Did you also take this view of the NI communities who failed to respond in the self same way as you demand? In such communities the fear of reprisals from the tiny minority of nutters is real, we saw real evidence of this in Glasgow last week, and the numerous kneecap pings and summary executions in Ni during the troubles was precisely designed to surprises any backlash. Your constant singling out of the Muslim community does your argument no favours and only serves to portray you as a bigoted ill informed, intolerant individual. I haven't said any of those things.

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 31 March, 2016 Share Posted 31 March, 2016 Just re-read and stand by my interpretation of your comments, your lack of clarity leads me to the conclusions I stated. You're quite right of course, but I have observed that he likes to skirt around his obvious islamaphobia with the intention of giving himself just enough "plausible deniability" to escape conviction. For example, he will not quite overtly state that he thinks Muslims make no positive contribution to society - but he will certainly imply it. He will just about avoid unambiguously stating that no muslims oppose the extremists, but he will accuse those who refute that of dishonesty. All this is transparent. When challenged on his racist views he will inevitably resort to either semantics, the "I didn't say that" defence, or as a last resort the old "deny everything" strategy familiar in police interview suites up and down the length of the land. That is what he is selling on here - thankfuly I don't see many buyers frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whelk Posted 31 March, 2016 Share Posted 31 March, 2016 From Charles Moore in The Spectator: The Lahore attacks reflected hatred of Christians. Why must we deny it? You might expect that the murder of Christians would excite particular horror in countries of Christian heritage. Yet almost the opposite seems to be true. Even amid the current slew of Islamist barbarities, the killing of 72 people, 29 of them children, on Easter Day in Lahore, stands out. So does the assault in Yemen in which nuns were murdered and a priest was kidnapped and then, apparently, crucified on Good Friday. But the coverage tends to downplay such stories — there has been much less about Lahore than Brussels, though more than twice as many died — or at least their religious element. The BBC correspondent in Lahore, Shahzheb Jillani, was at pains to emphasise that the victims were not solely Christians but ‘simply Pakistani citizens enjoying a day out in the park with their children’, as if that made it worse. Western European politicians rarely protest about the plight of Christians in Muslim lands or offer to help them. Such Christians are perhaps regarded as a bit of a nuisance in countries Islam dominates. The Jewish experience should warn us how insidious this way of turning the victims into the problem can be. Hatred of Christianity — as of Judaism — is central to the Islamist creed. In our secular societies in the West, we congratulate ourselves on our lack of zeal, and think that if we stay out of religious disputes, the angel of death will not select us. But the events in Brussels are a reminder that studied neutrality makes you weaker, and no safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the events in Brussels are a reminder that studied neutrality makes you weaker, and no safer. The motives behind the Lahore attacks are much more complex than knee-jerk reactionaries like Moore would allow. If he knew who 'the Christians' in Pakistan actually were, he'd see there's more to this than some stupid liberal-elite/BBC conspiracy theory about obscuring 'hatred of Christianity'. The vast majority of Christians in Pakistan come from families who were, pre-Partition, 'untouchables' or Dalits - the lowest, poorest and most despised caste in the Indian social hierarchy. That stigma persists in all kinds of ways: these people variously are enslaved (in 'bonded labour' in the Sindh and Punjabi brick kilns, mostly); are the victims of organ trafficking (many in bonded labour are promised freedom from slavery if they donate a kidney - then are not paid); are the victims of false 'blasphemy' charges which are in fact land-grabs by greedy neighbours; and are forced to live, at enormous cost, in slums (some of the highest priced real estate square footage in the country is in these slums). In Lahore, the Christian slum is right in the urban heart of the city. The two Christian slums in Islamabad are a bit more set apart but still pretty central. If there were simply the victims of religious hatred they wouldn't be there - it would be far too dangerous. In fact, they're there because they are both the most exploited social group in the country, and the most necessary (many are employed to keep the cities clean - one of the worst jobs possible, but essential to the functioning of cities with desperately weak infrastructures). The attacks on Christians in a children's funfair, of all places, indicates contempt just as much for these people's social position as for their religious beliefs. And in any case, the Islamists' real target is the Pakistani government - they want to discredit the state's ability to be a state, and what better, cost-free way of doing it is there than bombing women and children of a social group no one cares about?

Depends what your definition of backlash is. It would appear that you expect them all to come out publically maybe? You have ignored the evidence that their has been a response. You have ignored quite reasonable opinions that actually the atrocities have nothing to do with "normal" Muslims and that they have nothing to apologise for. Fair enough, That is your opinion.

moonraker Posted 31 March, 2016 Share Posted 31 March, 2016 Just read the links. So a minor meeting of Oldham West and Royton Labour Parties - Labour’s ‘Friends of Bangladesh’ appears to be segregated and UKIP provides narrative whoopee. Without doubt men are on one side and women on the other, with one exception all of the attendees appear to be of sub-continent ethnicity, and I would hazard a guess that those attending are more than happy with this arrangement. What would you have the labour party do, force them to sit in designated seats, would that not be an infringement of personal choice. Are you advocating that all events in the UK must ensure that the genders are equally dispersed, the Women’s Institute or the Mothers Union might struggle to comply? This may be a cultural and religious issue but it is definitely not a political one. So if all you can offer as evidence of Muslims having a hold on our country is a single, local, meeting organised by a predominantly Muslim group in support of secular political candidate you really do need to grow up.

Worrying to see that Muslim extremist have such a hold on mainstream British society and the current Labour party though. Just because you keep saying there wasn't a backlash doesn't make it true. There clearly was, you just don't want to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonraker Posted 31 March, 2016 Share Posted 31 March, 2016 I haven't told anyone how to live their lives. So, I'll ask again, moderates or extremists? Or will you just rant and not answer? Uh the answers in my last response moderates. Now will you answer the myriad of questions that have been put to you? Im not holding my breath. And as you are so keen on literal definition, neither I nor anyone else has ranted on this message board, ranting is verbal act not a written one.

aintforever Posted 31 March, 2016 Share Posted 31 March, 2016 Someone who choses what others may think and do within the law is a bigot . Like saying, "you're female - sit over there" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonraker Posted 31 March, 2016 Share Posted 31 March, 2016 Twitter and Facebook posts, what a backlash That'll show those terrorists and no mistake. Did you miss the official statements from respected and acknowledged Islamic institutions and leaders, no as usual you choose to ignore that which does not fit your bigotry.

Interesting that you think that gender segregation is just a normal, regular part of every day Islamic culture, which you want to see a growth of through the UK. Bizarre.
