I hear the BBC is being sued by Sikhs who object to "Asian Gangs" when the vast majority (maybe all) of the indicted are Muslim Pakis and Bangladeshis.

Good for the Sikhs! I hope they win.

Patrick, I notice that NYTimes is using the word "terror" but only in quotes and only after "police are calling it" so everyone is certain it's not them doing it on their own free will.

Still no sign of either of the other two words you mentioned above.

And still zero mention of "Muslim" or "Islam" in the NY Times article about the Islamic attack on random innocent people by a devout Muslim motivated by Islam:

Wasn't an article posted on this site that showed Hindus a Sikhs do not want to be called "Asian" because it puts them n the same boat as Pakistani Muslims, who commit most of the crime and terrorism?

Rashomon says

Maybe you can also give a thought to the reported 33+ civilians killed in Syria when a US plane dropped a bomb on the school they were sheltering in.

That would be a cogent argument against Hillary Clinton's campaign promise to escalate the war in Syria, which she had helped start following "Hillary's War" in Libya, all on behalf of her corporate and Saudi clients. It is not an argument against Donald Trump's travel ban, however: as he said, "Islam hates us." We keep seeing more evidence proving he was right. The real question is, of the different things he suggested, how to encourage him to do the ones that were right:
1) get out of Syria;
2) ban Muslim immigration.
The NATO/Saudi policy of invade&import served the Clintons' corporate and Saudi sponsors at the expense of everyone else. If you support that, then YOU must really hate Muslims, because they're the ones getting slaughtered in the largest numbers. If you had any compassion, any decency at all, you would encourage NATO to do the two RIGHT things, not the obviously wrong invade&import policy they've been doing.

Strategist says

So nice of you. I wonder how many thoughts you have given to the Saudis and Pakistanis every time they bomb civilians.

No doubt considerably more than you.

Here's a better example, King Leopold in Africa ..

I can see why you are interested in him.

Western Values are wicked, too many are open to the ideas of the Kuffar, Secular Muslims are Shirk and Haram. Also, AIDS is Allah's gifts to the LGBTQ community, may they burn in hell. - Abu Izzadeen

I don't get your point. So he's a vile example of a human being. Such people live in every country on earth spouting their particular version of hatred against others. And their right to say such things is one of the corner stones of your country.

I just need to know 2 things.

1) was he an illegal immigrant ?

2) Is he Islamic ?

If neither of these are true, I have close to zero interest in this story.

Rashomon says

I don't get your point. So he's a vile example of a human being.

It's a simple point. The vile human being is a good Muslim. He is merely stating the beliefs of his vile religion.

She looks upset. She's probably texting family about what happened, no doubt like many others around here were doing. Why don't you comment about what the old lady is doing behind her? Oh, that's right, she's walking past that group of people as well.

marcus says

2) Is he Islamic ?

Yup. I can answer #2 in the affirmative. He is a good Muslim who follows his religion.

Rashomon says

The old lady seems to be standing, offering help.

Can you say that Islam is a hateful fraud perpetrated by a dead charlatan, which it is? Or are you afraid that your Muslim "friends" will kill you for blasphemy, as per Islam?

You're British, yes? He happens to apparently still be in prison for Hate Speech and Encouraging Terrorism. He was radicalized by a Syrian Sunni Muslim, the kind that are the backbone of the Jihadi Insurgents there.

If Britain had not let in Omar Bakri Muhammed in the first place, the Jamaican kid would have never been radicalized. Maybe instead he would have become a fanatical Arsenal Fan instead.

As for the United States, we have never allowed dangerous ideologues immigrate to the USA. Anarchists and Communists, and that law has always been upheld. Political Islam is another ideology that can be banned.

Once they're here, we're stuck with them, which is why we should greatly restrict entry from Countries that are, or recently have had, large scale Political Islamist Violence.

There may be cockroaches in every kitchen, but that's no excuse to feed them or not have the exterminator get behind the cupboards and oven periodically.

He's adhering to a certain interpretation of his religion. Unlike you, I know a lot of Muslims. I don't know a single one who would say he was a good Muslim.

Rashomon says

They might not say it to you, but he is definitely following the Koran and would be eligible for 72 whores if Islam weren't a hateful fraud perpetrated by a dead charlatan, which it is.

I thought about this today.

Many Snobby people work with minorities, but they work with thoroughly "White-ified" minorities. For example, a flaming gay Kenyan "Muslim" man who goes to wineries with the Gals in the office on Autumn Weekends. Neither he nor his white upper middle class co-workers have any idea that an Italian kid from Bensonhurst runs a gamut of White Hating Black kids waiting to kick his ass, everyday going to school.

In their minds it's inconceivable since they have never had the experience, but they "Know" about the history of lynching Blacks. Therefore the lived experience of a Tommy Robinson - or his poor Italian Brooklyn kid equivalent - must be false and based wholly on evil prejudice and racism.

Or maybe he would have been radicalised by someone else. I don't have any problem booting out people allowed into the country who then espouse hatred and terrorism. I do have a problem barring people who need help, refugees from wars brought about in large part by interference by the West, simply because they are Muslim.

Rashomon says

This is the "This cigarette probably won't give me lung cancer argument". Rejecting all cigarettes, or smoking as infrequently as possible, is the true solution.

White Working Class pays for the wars, dies for the wars, and then it's social services and job opportunities are overspread to make the Middle Upper Classes feel better about themselves over the war. Not many Sudanese Refugees in Islington, I imagine.

Elementary Class Warfare.

Yeah, except I've lived and worked in the Middle East for getting on for 20 years and have dealt with a whole range of people as you would. I haven't had any (religious based) issue with any of them.

Rashomon says

I haven't had any (religious based) issue with any of them.

..because you are slavishly devoted to defending their hateful fraud, even their censorship and dress codes, while criticizing the infidel west. Why should they bother killing or subjugating you, as per Islam, when you're already doing their work for them?

BTW, do you pay jizya, or are you named Rashid so they think you're Muslim (except for the few to whom you've confessed, secretly)?

And I bet all the good Muslims you know do nothing to stop the bad Muslims.
I have never met a single Muslim who would admit a 56 year old man having sex with a 9 year old child is immoral. I bet neither have you.

No, it isn't. You deal with the radicals, the people actually pushing this agenda. Being a Muslim isn't a race based issue. Anyone can choose to become a Muslim. You need to deal with the causes of this radicalisation. Castigating an entire religion of 1.6bn people isn't offering any answers.

Who do you think is doing most of the fighting against ISIS in Iraq and Syria?

Rashomon says

I add links after commenting, so you won't have long to wait. Meanwhile, you can answer the questions, since you know:
1) can you say that Islam is a hateful fraud perpetrated by a dead charlatan, which it is?
2) are you paying Jizya, and/or named Rashid?

Bonus question: when you say you've been working for them 20 years, yet you appear to spend all your time online defending Islam and criticizing the west, is that what they're paying you to do?

Strategist says

Probably because it wasn't that unusual to marry a child in pretty much any country around the world in the 6th/7th Century. I don't know anybody who wouldn't say it was immoral if it happened now.

And against the innocent Sunnis, the innocent Shites, and innocent Yazidis, and innocent infidels. It's always the Muslims, isn't it?

1. I'm an atheist, so I have a similar outlook about all religions.
2. No

I've just woken up and am filling time before going to work. I spend far less time on here than many others who post on here (247 posts under the new system...), though I probably have more free time than most, so no is the answer.

Next questions.

Rashomon says

You largely work with the top rungs of those countries. Most of whom would be highly secularized or westernized And not with pickpockets from Marakech or goat rustlers from the Atlas Mountains. I always remind college students they're not meeting Muhammid Malaysia or Tony Tanzania. They're meeting the top 5% of those countries, who generally have a globalist, Westernized, Secular and elite outlook and DO NOT represent the majority of their nation.

Pakis weren't a problem in the 60s/70s because there were two few to ghettoize and most had a multi-generational relationship with the West and Britain, and British-inspired education before they ever arrived in Britain.

Many of the Pakis who arrived starting in the 80s did not have such a relationship. And indeed, encountering clean British Streets and Women in Mini Skirts made them defensive and the crap in their own country. Like the Arabs began postulating in the 1000s, "They musta been robbed by the (Crusaders, Turks, Mongols) Only recommitment to Islam will work." This is a recurring theme in Islam (nor unique to it) and is not new.

What do they say about UK expats "More British than the British". Many Muslims become MORE fervent when they live in the West because their identity is threatened or challenged.
