Basically, I find that on AB many people get bluer in the face at groups protesting against extremism or protesting against child sexual exploitation than they do about the extremists or child rapists.

To many ABers the effect is uglier than the cause.




Best answer for Talbot
///"The narratives they push are now fairly similar to that seen being pushed by Britain First, [the minor political party] For Britain and Tommy Robinson: Muslims are dangerous; immigration is bad for Britain; and the British identity needs saving,” says Christopher Stewart, a Project Coordinator at ISDG and specialist in extremist propaganda and counter-messaging techniques online.///

Muslims are dangerous; Some are. All Islamists are (which is what the FLA are protesting against.

immigration is bad for Britain; Mass immigration is bad for Britain (which is what, etc.)

and the British identity needs saving,” Well I hope that line demonstrates the mindset of this EU, Globalist, Bankster shill.
/// Muslims are dangerous; Some are. All Islamists are (which is what the FLA are protesting against. ///

That may be true, but since the extremists don't wear a uniform, and most of those who carry out terrorist attacks in this country, reside in this country, when are we to address this problem what with the Muslim population growing in this country all the time?

Or do we have to wait until yet another murderous mass terrorist attack takes place, before more lessons will be learnt?

You can't counter extremism with extremism.
If anyone wants to peacefully protest against extremism then start a group and vet the people you allow to join.

Some people, and we see it often, just want a scrap.

They have to make themselves credible.

Gromit, thanks for the link.

From their website:

//Our Manifesto

We believe:

In making a safer environment and community for all of our children and grandchildren

In being inclusive and acceptable to all colours, creeds, faiths and religions

In holding our politicians accountable to bring about a change in anti-terrorist legislation in order to safeguard all communities now and in the future

We want to:

See greater restrictions placed on known terror suspects in order to protect our communities

Seek a fundamental review of current terror related legislation

Bring communities together

Ensure that the victims and families of all terrorist related incidents are remembered and lobby on their behalf for appropriate support from the government

Ensure that the members of our Armed Forces are given the appropriate respect and support when returning from operations and be given appropriate support as veterans, including raising the profile of homeless veterans and mental health issues

We know the following to be true:

All forms of terrorism are unacceptable

Terrorist arrests in the UK are at the highest level since 2001

The people need a voice in order to let the government know that a harder approach is required to prevent further terrorist attacks in the UK//

I can't see anything wrong with that.


neither can I
Me neither.
They aren't going to put out a mission statement that includes some of the nasty offerings that appeared on their ( so called secret )Facebook page - even I don't think they are that dim.

We all have our views, and that's as it should be.
I agree naomi.
Mamyalynne, I don't 'do' Facebook. What appeared on their so-called secret Facebook page - and why is it called secret if it isn't?
This is just one reference, there are many more to be googled ( I don't have the inclination to wade through just now), and comments such as the one I quoted earlier are brushed aside.

Some of their number may well be genuine but they have been infiltrated and the nastier side is coming through - frustration maybe - solution, no.

It isn't clear to me how an amalgamation of "football lads" is ever going to be a force to combat extremism. Usually they are a force for the opposite.

That will be a "I don't have any idea then"?
