I don't think Gordie is doing much more than voicing what a lot of people are thinking ... a quick eyeballing of what is going on around the world reveals that a lot of bad crap is going on ... now, if one wishes to assign the blame to GW and American military and economic imperialism, one can make a point ... if one condemns militant Islam, one can make equally valid points. Or perhaps it is a clash of values, or the last gasp of Manifest Destiny etc, etc, .... but all Islamic states grew out of Islam, and in many cases it is impossible to separate their religion from their politics ... this identity of religion and politics can be found in some areas of the Bible Belt in the US (and the governor's mansion in Alaska), but it is not as wide spread, or as readily accepted as it is in the Islamic world. But I do believe that militant Isalm poses as great a threat to world peace as global warming does to the environment ... I realise a lot of people don't accept this, which is cool, .... but a lot of people don't "believe" in global warming either.

Careful Eric this is bordering on taboo.

dont think anyone is disputing "Militant Islam" poses a great threat Eric, just dont like the way he lumps em all in the same pot, in some posts, then not in others, that says to me, not wired up right.

Your singing from one hymn book to another.Your quote dont think anyone is disputing Millitant Islam. You have disputed basically everything I have posted.
Different posts different topics.That say`s to me you are the one with crossed wires.

I'm not playing any racist card, the fact is that people like you try to paint all Muslims with the same brush. We see it every day people making decisions that effect Muslims, but are not subscribed to by them, but by politically correct numpties, like doing away with Christmas and calling it winter festival amongst others. Only his morning its been reported that staff at Greenwood Junior School in Sneinton Nottingham have cancelled a nativity play and put it back to January, because it clashes with Eid. A mother who has two children at the school said that her children would be celebrating Eid for two days next week but couldn't see why the nativity play couldn't go ahead later, before Christmas. So if you think that things like this is playing the race card, just shows what a narrow minded view of life you have. The fact is that a lot of people having a say on this actually live here in Hyndburn and don't have a problem. The fact that you have said on here that you moved to Ireland because of what you say is a problem with Islam shows you up for what you are a bigot

Just take in what you have typed above regarding Nottingham it shows you up for what you are.You are no different from the members of staff at
Greenwood junior school and because I dont agree you say I am a bigot and a racist.Hundreds of thousands who are fortunate to be able to leave
Britain do so because of the worsening situation and you say the majority are happy with the likes of the example you stated in Nottingham.I can only say you must be nuts.

Did you read what he said backwards? I don't get the same meaning from his post as you seem to.

Why not go for a few drinks with your Irish mates and tell them what a wonderful job you thought Cromwell did?

You will soon learn about prejudice!

According to the United Nations Neil, racial discrimination can take the form of race or ethnic groups. Discrimination, of course, is a different ballgame, as against having a disapproval of such groups.

Maybe Kate but I see them as separate. You can dislike the members of a religion without disliking the race those people come from. Especially when members of a religion can and do come from many races.
