Muslims against Crusades

[Sussex Nomad]

Then try sending your kids to schools in the areas he mentioned , or see how many christian festivals are celebrated with as much enthusiasm by local authorities as opposed to muslim/hindu/sikh ones.

Everything in proportion, unfortunately we do not see this in the inner cities. And if [MENTION=11713]DerbyGull[/MENTION] thinks that everyone tends to live in Brighton on this forum he is even more deluded than his sweeping statements suggest.

where i live in france,it's common practice for muslims to change their first names in order to find work

i think your find england is alot more liberal than alot of other countries

Err............who led us into the Falklands and the first Iraq war?

Is Argentina an islamic country? Gulf war 1 was with general Arab League approval.

 

[El Presidente]

Someone with your level of intelligence should really not be comparing either the Falklands war, of the first Gulf war with the one that Blair took us in to.

The Falklands was fought to rally public support around an unpopular government, bit like TB in Iraq IMO.

As for the first and second Iraq wars, we both joined in to keep up our status as Bush's buddies.

First point fair comment.

 

[El Presidente]

The Falkands have zero relevance on this debate, I don't know why anyone has brought them up.

Me bad, misread the Loonster's orginal point!

 

[El Presidente]

labour always stick up for the indigenous British way of life?

What is the indigenous British way of life? Morris Dancing, domestic violence after the pubs close and bad teeth still exist as far as I am aware.

I would get round this by banning ALL religion from schools.

Having read his book, I really don't think TB cared what anyone thought when invading Iraq. Then again, with IDS in charge of the opposition you could do a lot of things in government and still not lose an election.

funny how cause and effect are distorted through the lens of history.

100% agree with this. Morals and ethics should be taught based on logic and reason, not the teachings of a book written a thousand odd years ago. I really resent that I was force fed so much useless fiction as a child when I could have been learning something useful.

This may provoke a discussion it may not, let's see.

Are the Muslims against Crusades and their anti British stance any worse/better than the BNP/EDL and their pro British stance? Just curious.

Idea for TV programme. Put them all in a squash court and televise. If you dont do it, Channel 5 will.

 

[daveinprague]

Put them both in a cage in a car-park of a non-descript provincial town......thats the normal way.

 

[juanpablotheseagul]

I think a few people on here need to stop reading the Daily Mail

 

[Randsta]

Just because a lot of old people go on them is no reason to be against them......

 

[Randsta]

Oh crusades I thought it said cruises

absolute rubbish. British sovereignty was invaded and by a fascist regime at that. If anything, it was the Argie junta that went to war to boost public support. The British Government would have failed their subjects miserably if we hadn't gone to war with the Argies.

shock horror !!!!

Fair comment - if you honestly believe a Tory government wouldn't have taken us into that Iraq war after George W requested our troops.
.

Impossible to make that call one way or the other but I don't believe that anyone other than Blair and his inner circle would have lied about WMD and whipped the public into panic by sticking tanks at airports. What Blair did was, I believe, uniquely dishonest amongst British politicians.

I agree with you about the Argentinian position, but a war was avoidable. Economic sanctions could have prevented 255 British lives being lost.
