Batman Posted 5 April, 2016 Share Posted 5 April, 2016 Or: Hundreds of Muslims marched through central London at the weekend to call forpeace*and unity. Yet the organisers of the annual procession said not one single mainstream media outlet covered it because it was not "juicy" enough. Men, women and children were pictured and filmed waving brightly coloured banners during the UK Arbaeen Procession on Sunday. It is is organised every year by the Husaini Islamic Trust UK and according to their website is the ‘largest annually organised Islamic event in Europe’ the largest annually organised islamic event in europe. attended by a few hundred in the name of peace and unity. says it all really. And that is the largest in europe more people probably left the UK to fight for ISIS than those who went...or not far off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 5 April, 2016 Share Posted 5 April, 2016 some of that is 5 years old? come on some of that is part of single voices on social media. where are they in numbers stopping the traffic on the streets of the capital? Or any other major city in the UK? Plenty of voices, numbers and aggro when the EDL and what ever other scum are out....5 year old articles do not cut it I am afraid I'm combating the lie that there has been no backlash against extremists. There is certainly an argument that more could be done but CLEARLY there are Muslims out there condemning this sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is certainly an argument that more could be done but CLEARLY there are Muslims out there condemning this sort of thing. of course there are some out there. that is always the case but no where near enough is being heard from the whole community. Even the events/occasions we can find are that of a handful of voices collectively from the last 5 years. AT best, you get a few people showing their disgust on social media (and huge respect to them) or a few hundred turn up to an annual event. hardly a backlash from that part of British society with very recent events still on the radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonraker Posted 5 April, 2016 Share Posted 5 April, 2016 To clarify the magnitude of a counter reaction to an event that is unquestionably an attack on society the following Counter Reaction Scale is to be used. It must be noted that assigning a level of reaction force can be subjective and therefore the interpretation of the level of force understood by the majority should be accepted – forthwith the Scale shall to be known as the Societal Overview of Unilateral Reactions Scale Reaction Force 1: Polite Counter Response - > 20000 people Reaction Force 2: Polite Counter Response - > 50,000 people Reaction Force 3: Mockery Reaction Force 4: Disapproval Reaction Force 5: Ridicule Reaction Force 6: Contempt Reaction Force 7: Condemnation Reaction Force 8: Mild Criticism Reaction Force 9: Severe Criticism Reaction Force 10: Retaliation Reaction Force 11: Counterattack Reaction Force 12: Backlash Counter reactions of less than 10,000 people cannot be measured except where the counter reaction is by a smaller group of people or single person in a leading position of power and influence; In these cases the Mathematical Analysis Selection Hypothesis may be used. NB The Backlash level of Reaction Force must be used with extreme care due to risk of a counter backlash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 5 April, 2016 Share Posted 5 April, 2016 (edited) There is only one race you loon - the Human Race. As far back as 1950 UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) issued a statement asserting that all humans belong to the same species and that 'race' is not a biological reality but rather a myth. It makes no more sense to define someone on their skin colour or facial features that it does to claim that people with brown or blone hair belong to different 'races'. This is the conclusion of an international panel of leading anthropologists, geneticists, sociologists, and psychologists. If the idea of race is not really valid then does that also mean that there is no such thing as racism then? Not really, racism is alive and well alas - as this very thread shows - but what we really mean by the term today is that people like you (for example) hold views that are 'culturally racist' in nature. We could I suppose have a long and fruitless debate about the difference between culture and ethnicity, but this type of semantically tedious stuff is of little appeal and let's face it you are not really up to it are you? So methinks I know a racist when I see one - and I see at least one on here. Edited 5 April, 2016 by CHAPEL END CHARLIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suffering from a short term memory retention problem? You told me that that you were not a racist because Muslims were not a race. So if Muslims are not a race then this begs the obvious question which group do you think is? In reality you are obviously a cultural racist - I intend to abbreviate that term to just "racist" in order to save time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And having to have basic terms and definitions explained to you, I didn't need google or Wikipedia for that, sounds like you could use as much help as you can find though. And it all boils back down to my original point - the likes of you trying to shut down those pointing out the negative impact of Islam on Western Europe, so desperate you are to quieten such criticism, you cry "racism", make up definitions, post insults, anything to hide the issue that is being discussed. Why you're so desperate to cover these issues up, only you know I guess, don't understand or really care about the issue perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great Paul Simon once wrote the lyric "don't deny the obvious child" - advice you might heed.

It was your post that posted the link. Whatever you want to call it, whether it's islamaphobia, xenophobia or just plain racism, in my opinion, and clearly the opinion of others, some of your posts have crossed the line. You know it, I know it and clearly others do too. Trying to hide behind a narrow definition of racism does you no favours. I note you've dodged another question by the way, this time from Chapel End. It's a shame as your response might have helped to clarify your position on Muslims in the UK. You could quite easily say that you think Muslims have had a beneficial impact on the UK, you were after all provided with a very long list of Muslims that have contributed greatly to the UK before you subtly changed your question, but you don't seem able to bring yourself to do that. Why is that do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
