W When the far right start blowing up tubes trains and beheading soldiers in broad daylight in London, I will agree with you. The tolerance that has been displayed from the british public has been astounding. You do people a great disservice equating the two, in terms of level of threat.

It doesn't matter what I do but it has taught me in my working life that racism and being judgemental gets you nowhere. I cannot afford to be part of either. But part of what I do is around cultural awareness and acceptance of difference , to ensure people don't have accidents and die due to...

Why because people who have generally have a better understanding of the current dynamic than most westerners. It's apparent on here that people often view it as an area still hide bound by western influence and domination, rather than a region that is disproportionately financially and...

You ever worked in the gulf mate?

We are responsible for setting up the gulf region free from ottoman oppression and giving them financial independence, to our detriment. how they view their responsibilities to their liberators from that is up to them. We owe nothing.

There are plenty of societies or groups who you could blame for contributing to swelling the numbers of their oppressors or aggressors against, if you take that tack. A tactic widely used in Central Europe in the thirties. Often generally blameless, if truth be told. This current narrative...

I think we have to differentiate between believer and adherent. There are many religions (again a catch all term that doesn't truly reflect the range of systems societies subscribe to) that do not necessarily focus on a rigid value system with punishments for those that veer from that. We are...

Religion has also been used to encourage spiritual growth, to rationalise the world around us, and to promote harmony. The current mantra from certain circles of all religion is as bad as each other, is as idiotic as saying all politicians are in it for themselves. There is plenty of good in...

a lot advocate non intervention. so i wouldnt say that.

yeah its really strange when they talk non stop about islam and want to build a global caliphate, and europeans leave their homes to join them. i dont know how people could make the association, rightly or wrongly, either. baffling. oh yes thats right its because people are thick again.

this simply isnt true. there are many religions that are far more introspective and based on spiritual growth, rather than punitive laws and codes of behaviour enforced to the degree of the abrahamic ones we are more familiar with . most admittedly incorporate ritual and other commons aspects...

first one of the morning. wasnt that some nutty family that no one would have ever heard of if it wasnt for louis theroux.

t are they going to sort out the problems of our own citizens supporting this, or acting on their behalf in Europe? Leaving this thing alone so it hopefully leaves us alone is not a realistic option or a likely successful strategy.

not taking your words out of context but expansionism from Arabia, and consequent Ottoman excpansion in all directions, is the basis of this current issue. not dissimilar to imperialism. The original caliphate was founded by Turks, culturally different from Arabs. This is a multicultural...

did that not happen in 1945, more or less, at least in the allied sectors of Germany?

no doubt someone will bring up that whatsitsname baptist church now as some sort of insane desperate comparison. *starts clock*

what does that even mean?
