Preventing Violent Extremism

[bathseagull]

I've been told today that I've got £50,000 to spend on sports activities for Muslim groups, particularly aimed at young Muslims and 'preventing violent extremism'.

This has annoyed me because I have plenty of 'mainstream' clubs, groups etc. who are desperate for funding but I cannot give it to them.

Thoughts?

Buy them all season tickets at Withdean. We get the revenue and the soporific atmosphere will calm down any violent extremists.

This country is going to rat shit.

Spoke to a letting agent yesterday who told me that 60% of her business is now immigrants and of that number 50% turn up with a giro to cover their deposit and up to three months rent.

I abhor racism in any shape or form but these policies will only strengthen the core support for the BNP and other right wing groups.

It which case 50% of the immigrants are irrelevant to the argument ?

But 50% are...............

But 50% are...............

Well done

Point is Harty is that what would have been less sensationalist, would be 30% of her customers are immigrants having their rent paid by the state.

Or 50% of 60% if you like

Simple. You arrange for the Muslim groups to carry out these activities at the groups where you actually want to spend the money. The Muslim groups get minor advertising revenue, you spend the main bulk of the cash in upgrading the groups you want to spend it on, and when the Muslim groups lose interest or stop turning up, then the mainstream groups keep the facilities.

Sorted.

And that's if we accept her stats to be true. As discussed on another letting agents are wankers and most likely rabid-Tory-fuckers

If these groups are mainstream, why do they need extra funding?

 

[Nemesis]

Shouldn't the prevention of violent extremism come from Muslim parents and their religious leaders?

 

[bathseagull]

When I say mainstream I mean non-specific in terms of membership or provision. They are amateur sports clubs who all need funding to survive but because they are not Muslim-only groups or they don't focus on PVE then I can't channel money towards them.

Is this not positive discrimination?

 

[goldstone]

Use it to buy tickets for them back to their countries of origin. That will reduce the chances of "violent extremism" here.

What's the relevance of this to the topic raised by bathseagull?

Are you saying that all immigrants are muslims? Or even that most immigrants are muslims?

Are we talking about Worthing? If so ... have you forgotten the wave of immigrants who came to Worthing in past generations? Once upon a time, it was a destination of choice for Italian immigrants. Did they make the town turn to rat shit?

And do you REALLY think that a policy that tries to discourage young muslims from getting involved with extremism is a BAD thing? Why?

 

[Caveman]

Personally I'd like that 50k spent on the NHS. But you can call me old fashioned.

 

[sten_super]

I agree with bathseagull, it is ridiculous. The best way to 'prevent violent extremism' is inclusion. OK spend some of the money on encouraging the Muslim community to take part in community sports groups, but spend the rest of it on improving the facilities for the group, which will in itself encourage more people (including Muslims) to take part.

Send 'em home and give the money to some poor English kids! and if there is any left over I'll have a Big Mac, a Coke and some f***ing diddy do-nuts. woop wooop!!

 

[Munkfish]

can you not use it to bring the two groups together?

 

[Nibble]

What like a meal deal? Okay I'll have a Big Mac meal and an apple pie. The two groups, warm fat and lava heat fat are now together on one paper lined tray. Now hurry I need to get this brown plastic tray to my table before the apple sauce melts through and dissolves my feet. Can I see the nutritional information please? Nooo.
