Yet more demands for special treatment from muslims

[pastafarian]

when you look at these particular threads you always get one bloke saying its the same people over and over again being "offended"
when in fact no one has actually said they have been "offended"

 

[Soulman]

These threads are always about a group of people that seem permanently offended. The supporters of these permanently offended people then get offended when the position of the permanently offended gets challenged. Thus making the challengers out to be the offended.

Just out of interest, when on NSC do you only see the banner adverts for 'meet single Muslims'?

It always comes up when I've had a look at the current debate, but for me it goes again quite soon only to be replaced by 'meet single cyclists', again.

 

[Soulman]

So really it is those that are offended for the group of permanently offended that seem to be more offensive to those that challenge the group of permanently offended.

Whingers complaining about whingers is funny Soulman. I tend not be offended by people that make me laugh

It had Algarve villas when I joined it, piqued my interest, as im headiing there soon, otherwise, I doubt if I had even noticed it.

This story makes me sick. It’s been spun and portrayed in such a way to provoke the kind of frothing at the mouth behaviour so typical of those who, IMO, struggle to appreciate the complexity of life.

If you took this story at its most simple face value and fail to scratch beneath the surface and actually think, as many seem to be, it’s another example of white British Christian/Catholics, being treated as second rate citizens in their own country, with brown Muslims being afforded rights that belong to the white British Christians.

It could actually quite possibly be spun as a story of the brown Muslim wishes being disregarded and the white British Christians getting their own way; after all the white British Christians got there deceased buried exactly where they wanted, despite the wishes of the brown Muslims. The brown Muslims may well have been lied to and told that this would never happen, only for the white British Christians to come bounding along demanding it another way and getting it.

It’s probably both and neither of those scenarios, but that doesn't prevent the frothed at the mouth group of people getting even more rabid.

Yes, clearly you have an agenda. You take the murder of 3 muslims and your default position is that it was specifically because the murderer was anti-muslim (your words). If you had just read a bit more about the murders you'd see that the murderer had a problem with ALL religion not just Islam. You didn't though because of your agenda.

What's your agenda?

I think this says it all.

If you only read/see media sources that will only cover these slants on stories you have been manipulated.
I guess some people don't ever get past their childhood bigotries.

I think this post of labelling Muslims as ''brown'' and Christians as ''white'' as being the worst part of all. Colour is irrellevant. My apologies if your post was of reference to the article as opposed to your personal interpretation.

 

[pb21]

Colour is irrellevant.

So is religion.

Thread title says it. Muslims (plural). So according the well rounded, well informed and un-biased views on NSC that means ALL Muslims now want to dig up graves if they don't like who their family are burried next to. Not an isolated event at all and by jove ALL muslims are to blame. It's political correctness gone mad!

Firstly I have never heard any stories of any other faith making unreasonable demands in a grave yard

Secondly, I saw my Muslim neighbour leaving the house early this morning with a shovel.

Case closed.

It fits nicely into an agenda and therefore is deemed newsworthy. The question is, if this story did not involve Muslims would it have made the national papers?

Wouldn't have happened 20 years ago , couldn't care less who's burried next to who, what makes Muslims in this country so special then, aren't we all meant to be equal

Yes it does, well done Das top marks for literal interpretation.

Next, try some inferential understanding.

Always seems to be the same faith wanting though doesn't it. From 2007.

It is a peaceful resting place for 350,000 souls - an historic graveyard which now serves as a nature reserve.
But plans are afoot to dig up the ancient graves at Tower Hamlets Cemetery - and reopen it as a 21st century burial site.
Officially it would be known as a "multi-faith" cemetery but it is likely that it would principally answer calls for a Muslim graveyard in the largely-Asian East London borough.
The local newspaper has been bombarded with letters from historians and nature lovers declaring: "There is no way we'll allow them to dig up our ancestors."
But the Labour-controlled council's environment spokesman Abdal Ullah appeared to be in no doubt about the feasibility of the plan when he said: "To preserve the respect and dignity for everyone, I think most of the graves would have to be cleared out and we'd start afresh."

He said a corner of the cemetery would be reserved for Muslims who are buried in shrouds at a depth of 6ft and on their side facing Mecca.
By law, any graves more than 75 years old can be removed.
