Anonymous Coward User ID: 62323787 ![]() 12/04/2014 12:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to edition.cnn.com] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 65731295 By Imran Awan Birmingham, England (CNN) -- Whether it's Mohammed becoming the most popular baby name, or one in 10 babies in England being Muslim or the fact that halal meat is being served in Pizza Hut, a Muslim story always tends to generate more heat than light. Indeed, Islamophobia is often perpetuated by fear and a sense that Muslims are taking over our jobs, our homes and our lives, thus leading to a polarizing society and the so-called clash of civilizations. And it's common to see issues such as the name of Mohammed being used by the far-right into vitriolic hate against Muslims. Take for example the Daily Mail headline in January 2014: "One in 10 babies in England is a Muslim: Those practising the religion 'could soon outnumber actively worshipping Christians.'" The article, which was accompanied by an image of two Muslim women wearing the face veil, showed this pervading sense of online anti-Muslim hate emerge with comments such as: "Surprise, surprise, ban the burka now before its too late!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and "This has to stop this is a Christian country the next thing sharia law."...50% rule oh good grief...there is anti muzlim sentiment because it is a totally fukked up religion and culture. Every predominately muzlim country that isn't totally awash in petrodollars is a 3rd world sh!thole |

LOLOL ISIS Tells Christian Children To Deny Christ Or Be Beheaded. Their Response Is Awe-Inspiring An incredible story of four young, Iraqi children and their encounter with the Islamic State has surface, and it should make every Christian in the Western world both outraged and impassioned. Christians in the Middle East know what truth faith and real persecution is. They know the meaning of dying for one’s beliefs, something so common in Muslim countries, yet so foreign for us. When ISIS insurgents gave four children, all under the age of 15, the choice of converting to Islam or being beheaded, the decision was simple. “Islamic State turned up and said to the children, you say the words that you will follow Mohammed,” Canon Andrew White told the Orthodox Christian Network. The demand for Christians to convert to Islam is nothing new, but the children’s response will leave you awe-struck: “The children, all under 15, four of them, said ‘No, we love Yesua (the Iraqi name for Jesus), we have always loved Yesua, we have always followed Yesua, Yesua has always been with us.’” |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1144360 This^ However, it is insensitive to attempt forcing your culture onto an established one. You know, expecting the laws to change or side with some kind of sheria crap. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 65152835 ![]() 12/04/2014 01:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Meanwhile back in the real world Muslims are causing trouble in nearly every country. It seems strange that a professor could be unaware of this particularly one interested in criminology. Blinkered I suppose. Islamic schools in Birmingham are segregating girls and have stopped music and are not teaching British values. They have also sent funding which was intended for one school to Pakistan. They say it is for a school out there. If you can believe that. I wonder whether they are funding Isis or some other terrorist group. I am not suffering from Islamophobia I just dislike groups of people who arrive here and try and make us become like them.I have no desire to wear a sack and behave like a monster. Perhaps they would find people liked them more if they took a proactive stance with regard to the violence of their members around the world. Even the Buddists are fed up with them. They are steadily becoming the pariahs of the world. In revenge for torturing little Christian children perhaps we should attempt Western type Shariah and demand that Muslims eat pork and desist from wearing their equivalent of the hoody, aka the burka while here. Being in the west has done them no iota of good and the females who have left the west for ISIS have shown that they are nothing but monsters with no compassion for any other non muslim woman. Strangely I have met a few muslims and quite liked them but find it very hard to tolerate their behaviour as seen in the news. |

Historically Islam has always been the aggressor against Christanity seeking to invade and steal Christian lands such as Constantinople, Spain, Italy etc. If it had not been for Charles Martel defeating an invading muslim army at the gates of Paris Europe would of folded to Islam. |

People who enter any other country around the world should be prepared to assimilate to the country's culture and values. Our western nations are degrading this when they make us change for them. That is not the way it is supposed to work. If I wanted to live in France, I would at the very least learn the language. Never would I be ARROGANT enough to expect the French people to live my way. Where is their respect for other cultures? Oh wait, how tolerant are they of us in their countries? Do they demand that their people change for us? Are we really being more evolved by making them feel more welcome or are we surrendering who we are to an enemy who cares not for our countries at all? |
