Hey Foxy

[voice]

Can I make a request, you know a few years back you created a new section for the politically obbessed, could you not create a new section for the Islamobessesives who feel the need to post endless crap about Muslimzzzzzzzzzzzz. That was they could have the usual circle jerk and the rest of us could content ourselves with a wider look at the world and discuss things of import without having to wade through basicly the same thread saying the same old crap adnausium.

just a thought.

[Ian]

No

[ricklinc]

I don't think that there has actually been a muslim thread on here yet. Sweetsoul must have missed her morning paper today.

Hi voice <waves>

I spose we can always ignore those threads we don't want to be associated with; I actually quite like reading some of the anti-garbage that gets posted: I'm always amazed at Cobbrers and Sweet Soul for example who seem obsessed with muslim and immigrants. Odd, cos Cobbrers seems otherwise fairly intelligent.

i come here for debates and chat.
I do get slightly bored by some 'Muzzie ban Christmas' type threads but it's still news and people want to discuss it.
If we relegate the so-called Islamoloony threads then what about the 'Jews are running the world' thread posters?
And 'America and Britain deserved 9/11 and 7/7?'

Hi Foxy,

On a slightly different topic; the posts don't seem to be numbered or am I missing something?

[sweet soul]

No.











Muslim leaders warn Britain’s Brown
January 8, 2009

LONDON (JTA) -- Muslim leaders in Britain warned Gordon Brown of the dangerous effect of American policy in the Middle East.

The 13 Muslim leaders, who act as anti-extremism advisers to the British government, wrote in an open letter that the prime minister must use his influence on the U.S. administration and incoming president Barack Obama.

“We urge you to make concerted and successful efforts to convince the U.S. administration of the dangers of its current approach and to ensure that the incoming Obama administration forges a more enlightened direction," the British Muslim leaders warned in the letter. "The current partisan and simplified narrative emanating from the White House is of serious and direct harm to relations between the U.K., North America and Arab countries. It is also potentially undermining our national interests.”

“The anger within U.K. Muslim communities has reached acute levels of intensity. The Israeli government's use of disproportionate force to combat threats to its security has revived extremist groups and empowered their message of violence and perennial conflict. For Muslims in the U.K. and abroad, we run the risk of potentially creating a loss of faith in the political process,” they added.

In the letter, the leaders also demand that the British government take decisive action against Israel at the European Union.

“We believe the time has come to suspend the E.U.-Israel upgrade process until the present conflict has been brought to an end," they wrote. "The U.K. should make clear to Israel, publicly and privately, that genuine and lasting improvements in the occupied territories are a prerequisite for continued political support.”

The Muslim leaders concluded by asking for a meeting with the prime minister, making clear what they expect would be the result of this meeting.

“It would provide us with an opportunity to subsequently inform our national and global networks of the U.K. government's efforts to hold Israel accountable to its obligations under the peace process," the letter said, "and to ensure that effective negotiation triumphs over violence on all sides.”

I post from news sources, more often than not, the BBC. If articles appear with 'muslim' content, then I will post it. SS does exactly the same and provides links. This is preferable to some of the garbage that rightly belongs on chit-chat sites. This is a news site and like it or lump it, the Daily Mail is a much read newspaper. If the lefties find that unpalatable, then tough. They may wish to dwell on the collective thoughts of Rude Eric

Woops...I was missing something. That was the 6th. today!


I'll have another coffee.

hi guys!!!

Lol at wetking ... though i must say the font is a bot tiny where it says 'reply #6'

Yea posting from news sources with a link is fine.

Please try and keep the copied bit to a sentence or two. There are copyright issues - which are soooooo complicated - it's best to copy just enough to give the gist of the article.

[Ian]

I bet if we did have a Muslims only board it would be the people who moan about Muslim threads in there posting the most.

[voice]

I very much doubt that Ian, after all loads of good posters left the old board cos of the Islamobsessives clogging the place up day in day out

[radge]
