Re: Race Protests in Manchester
^^ Reason how do you have so much time to write such long responses?
The header refers to "now muslims demand..."
I would not even notice the DE until i caught the front page with that in bold big letters across it.
If you read about the Holocaust you will see the exact same things happened to the Jews ie the subtle public brainwashing.
It does not matter what muslims do they will never be mentionned for doing antyhing good. Its ironic how over 2 million muslims ignore and dont even know what Shariah Law is yet we are judged by the a very small minority, who are not even that vocal until the Media gives them the loudspeakers.
Why should we have to set up counter-marches - the fact that 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999% of muslims igoring the march for shariah is not enough for them?
Why should we behave as apologists?
The article clearly refers to them as "radicals", "fanatics." This presents Muslims in the UK with a great opportunity to show that most UK Muslims reject Islamist demands for shariah. How? Organize a counter-march. There are two weeks, which are certainly more than enough time to do so.
The reason Islamic nuts are in the UK news while nuts of other religions aren't is obvious: there are no Buddhist, Jewish, Taoist, Confucionist, Shintoist, Hindu, Mormon, etc. "religious" organizations holding rallies calling for bombing the UK, overthrowing the government, and imposing medieval Arab (and Roman--Justinian Code) shariah law on the country. Sheik Omar Bukri Mohammad has publicly called for the murder of all "kafirs" with the promise of heaven for anyone who does so. There are no Buddhist monks saying that. Confucianists are not calling for imposing a legal code based on 1,000+ year old Chinese concepts in Britain. If you criticize Judaism you don't have to be put under 24/7 police protection forever because you get hundreds of death threats within days of making any such public statement. You guys should know: 200+ years ago Thomas Paine wrote *The Age of Reason *denouncing all religion, but especially Christianity and called Moses the worst person in human history in it while in the UK. He was criticized heavily on both sides of the Atlantic but these were peaceful criticisms; there were no threats to his life--he even lived in the White House for a month when he moved back to America.
The media--especially the Rupert Murdoch media virus that infects all English-speaking nations-- indeed does at times inflame tensions in an effort to sell newspapers, increase ratings but the fact remains the fundamental problem is internal. This is the Paklinks forum. Look at what has happened to Pakistan at the hands of Salafists and Deobandis--and things are constantly getting worse. Is that because of Fox News or the Daily Express? Is anyone blowing up hospitals or bazaars because of Bill O'Reilly or because of an ideology that was created in the 1920's (I understand there are some here who are completely ignorant of historical time-lines, so for their edification: Islam was created in the 600's. This new ideology has little to do with Islam, which is why such an ideology did not exist for 1,300+ years. Their oldest antecedent is one, albeit very influential today, writer from the 1200's)?
Instead of a letter writing campaign complaining about coverage about a group, how about fighting the group itself? Write letters to Muslim organizations in the UK, such as the Islamic council, and organize a counter-march. What better way to show that UK Muslims reject these Salafists than to have the Salafist rally itself denounced by a much larger group of Muslims standing on the other side?
