In view of the terrorist attacks inflicted upon the British people in the name of Islam, have we every right to show fear, hated and prejudice against the Islamic religion?

i wonder if hypothetically muslims could vote into law sharia, how many would...

[Spicerack]

Steg, all those people you mention weren't racially or culturally very different to the original colonisers. Beaker people?

[Spicerack]

Despite the pathetic revisionism (lies) that are being foisted on us by despicable lefties, British people were homogeneous until Windrush.
Nobody asked us.

It's when you begin to feel like an outsider in your own country that animosity towards Muslims begins. When you are sitting in the waiting room of one of the biggest hospitals in Lancashire and you are surrounded by hordes of Asians .Or when you go shopping in Burnley, Rochdale, Accrington, Haslingden, Colne or Nelson. Burkha clad women, men in Asian dress, gangs of Asian youths .Most of the shops are Pakistani owned . Same goes for taxi firms,takeaway shops and computer shops. It's getting worse as time goes by. I know quite a lot of people who avoid these towns now . It's not fear or hatred against the Muslims but prejudice that a lot of people are feeling .

SR. Don't think that there were any followers of Islam on the Windrush.

Pixie, //I see a terrorist as a violent criminal (at best), if you see them as a "religious follower" then that is the difference //

But Islamic terrorists are followers of their religion - and devout followers too. Of all the people on board those planes on 9/11, whatever their respective religions, there were none so devout as the terrorists. They were not just prepared to die for what they believed, they were determined to die for what they believed.

//Do you believe that having people from a wide variety of racial and cultural backgrounds has damaged British society?//

The conversation moved on, Danny. Do try to keep up, old chap.

All of them - men and Boys (women have no say).

SR, This thread is about Islamaphobia. Read the OP and do try not to derail the thread.

[Spicerack]

Do you want a shovel, Danny?

[dannyk13]

Why , do you need someone to dig into your mind looking for a brain?

[AuntPollyGrey]

Do you two want to borrow my handbag? :-)

[dannyk13]

No, but thanks for the offer.

Very mature.

The current UK Terrorist Alert level has been reduced to substantial meaning- an attack is likely. I know that our Intelligence Agency s have noted a rise in right wing neo nazi activity but I cannot convince myself that it is they who MI5 ,Special Branch et al think are likely to be responsible for the next attack. I am sure,although still simmering,it wont be from across the Irish Sea either. Who else ?

[dannyk13]

Martians?

[retrocop]

No I don't swallow that theory danny. Dan Dare has dealt with them and the Klingons already.

[dannyk13]

Doh! I forgot about that Retro.

I watched the TV programme regarding Prince Charles as the Prince of Wales, he was congratulating the Welsh people on their
traditions and culture.
The English have had theirs taken away we aren't even called English now only Brits.
We are not even allowed to have an English national party.
