NEWS: More Terrorism in Britain

POLITICS: More Terrorism in Britain

This, too, is terrorism.

Well, yelling “Paki, Paki" at people who aren’t even from Pakistan isn’t terrorism, it’s just brainless bigotry. But firebombing a mosque? It’s no different from firebombing a church – which is something that happened a while back in Pakistan. Attacks such as these are clearly attacks on entire communities. They are far worse than other kinds of violent crimes because they can – and sometimes do – lead to sectarian civil war. See Lebanon and Yugoslavia for examples within living memory.

What could have sparked this outburst of bigoted hate?

And so it begins

Yeah, if they didn't want to be raped, they shouldn't have worn such a short skirt.

Or am I getting my blame the victim responses confused?

The bigotry and the hate were clearly pre-existing. Non-hateful non-bigoted people do not violently attack others solely based on their ethnicity or religion.

Some of us are aware that Muslims make up the majority of the victims of Islamist violence worldwide. I assume you're aware of this, yes? Look how many Muslims are killed by Islamists in Baghdad alone, not to mention Algeria and Sudan.

I wouldn't call it terrorism but they are a violent racially motivated attacks that should be equally condemned and I hope the local communities do their best to show that thet are not indicative of them and do their best to help bring the perpetrators to justice.

Ah, nothing like sitting silently and basking in the glory of watching people do what they seem to do best....

I'm sure it couldn't be retaliation for anything. According to you things like that never happen.

I'm not sure what the point is. It isn't justified in any case. and I'm sure you didn't mean to say that it was. it just doesn't seem topical to point out that people are pushed to respond to the events that happen in their place.

it's like the swell of hatecrimes against anyone vaguely of Middle Eastern and Indian heritage that occurred in this country after 9/11

fact is that muslims as a community have a responsiblity to weed out the bad seeds out of thier community, which they have refused to do. burning churches and mosks, or indiscriminate attacks are thoroughly unjustified, especially considering as one of you pointed out that terrorist are killing alot of muslims already.

Stockula makes a snide remark and you assume there's a point?

Yeah, like Stormfront.org, and the World Church of the Creator. When will muslims take responsibility?!

I do believe I read something to the effect that you said this sort of stuff never happened. I think you asked for proff of it. I am sure you would have preferred to have been proven correct. We all would have.

Again. Fire bad.

Stock, When a bear eats someone does it make sense for his family to fly up to Alaska and kill a few dozen bears?

Yep.

Killing and jailing the assholes only goes so far. So long as dickweeds like this

are not only supported by the Ummah but the British welfare system as well, dont expect anything different in the years to come.

If vigilante justice is unappealling to you, then stave it off by dealing with the problem. Throw the radicals out. Dont subsidize them. Spy and watch their every move and communication. If they complain, tell them them to return to Pakistan where they will feel more at home.

Look carefully at the soiled remnant of your soul, Mr Deathsquad.

Ballsy. Stupid but ballsy.

Counterproductive, the pair of them - stockula and Hamza. Don't encourage either one.

Stock, please stop pretending to care about things over here in order to talk rubbish.

Emphasis added. You obviously are unfamiliar with Stockula. That is exactly what he meant to say.

Oh and no use comparing it to the hate crimes here. Stock doesn't believe those happened. The only person I have ever seen in more denial was a guy who was convinced the Holocaust was fake.
