They're wrong, I wouldn't defend their actions, any more than I would any group that attacks people who aren't a threat to them or attacking them. But this pangs somewhat of a 'well they're just as bad' as a justification. Its not, you can be wrong, someone else can be wrong, doesn't make anyone right. Trouble is when you look into something too deeply you tend to miiss the point. It was not a case of school playground politics as in " see they're just as bad as the others" na,na,na,na. So there!

Football hooligans are commonly banned from travelling around international tournaments: almost 1,500 had to surrender their passports for the World Cup this summer. Not a dicky bird about human rights was spouted about by anyone the left, the right, politicians and the media. Football banning orders can be issued not just to those previously convicted of hooliganism but also to people considered likely to cause trouble--because they socialise with known offenders, for instance. If this can be done to hooligans why not to suspected terrorists who use those websites or are associated with those spreading hatred or racism. Backnin the80s and 90sSocial/racial profiling was also used by the police to stop , arrest and question anybody white between the ages of 18-35 for being a suspected hooligan even though there were also black and Asian hooligans around. Again, human Rights were ignored. No organizations defended the rights of these football lads there was no "STAND UP TO PERSECUTING ORDINARY FOOTBALL FANS" . No, no one battered an eyelid. Roll the clock forward change hooligan to jihadist and its a completely different story.

Is that why these enemies of democracy hack the heads off people while being videoed and burn people to death in cages, throw gay people off roofs and stone women to death and chop off limbs - because they feel hopeless? New depths of idiocy have been plumbed by the apologists for Islamic terrorist barbarity Apologists? What are you on about? I am merely identifying some of the conditions likely to lead to more violence.

Letter to the Editor: Dear Editor, You posted a thread about general talk recently. I come on the HOL (rather than BBS) for a number of reasons.One reason is that historically,notwithstanding the majority have views well to the right of my own,I enjoy the craic and the personalities on General Talk.Its also a bit of a cop out to take part in a forum where your views predominate,no? The level of enjoyment has diminished recently.. NG is one of the best posters around (putting politics aside).He puts an unpopular view,stimulates debate by so doing,takes piles of pathetic sh@t from a bunch of tunnel-visioned w@@kers without reacting back with personal digs, and is generally courteous.And He's Palace to the core,giving his time to help with HOL radio.Does that mean I always agree with him or his analyses? Certainly not. The present cyber hounding of him is frankly pathetic..especially from those who claim they are in favour of traditionaL British values of tolerance and free speech. Any editor worth their salt would IMHO (speaking as a onetime magazine editor)be backing him for those reasons,not joining the moronic knocking...and taking the easy way out by blaming the wound rather than the symptom. Just an opinion. Wow, Made me cringe. This is a football forum not real life where decisions and discussions make an iota of difference.

I think it's a bit of a challenge to know from which people problems are going to come from though. After all, there's been a wash of people coming and going for a very long time. I doubt many rock up as ready made, foaming at the mouth kamikaze merchants. As mentioned before, I think it's likely conditions of marginalisation, fear, and desperation create lead people towards this. Yes, terrorists are disproportionately claiming to be Muslim at present, but it's still a tiny fraction of the population who have done anything. I guess you can argue that having diversity of thought or ideas itself creates this risk, but I don't think there's much you can do about that, even if you lived like a hermit kingdom. Not really. We have had hundreds of years of friction with Muslims and our foreign policy was not likely to remedy that any day soon. It was another example of short sighted short, termism that we have come to expect from self serving politicians. Now they will bombard us with positive images of Muslims and tell us not to worry as dozens more people are killed by terrorists.

How exactly do you create stricter guidelines for identifying Jyhadists, given you either have evidence or you don't. And you wonder why people think the FLA is a 'fascist front'. You're talking about the suspension of basic rights - remember you're talking about people who are SUSPECTED, and imprisoning them or deporting them, without trial. What constitutes extremist material. I read the German Ideology, Kapital (a punishment in its own right) and Mein Kampf (for example) - both of which could be construed as far right or far left. Also plenty of publications exist, in print, sold in bookshops, legally than contain various instructions for making bombs etc. One of my areas of interest, is European Terrorism of the 1970s and 80s. I have a large collection of books on Left wing and Right Wing terrorism.
Now I agree that it should be (and it is a crime) to access certain jihadist websites, and download material from them, for use in terrorism. But the world ain't as simple as it seems. You can't deal with a problem by imprisoning and punishing people without a trial. Not without becoming akin to the monster your complaining about. Sooner rather than later, you're going to have people who are innocent being deported or imprisoned (interned) without a just reason - and the system in these cases is always geared up towards protecting the state, not the individual. Internment did more for the Provisional IRA than any publicity campaign the Republican b******s could manage. Sure, Islamist terrorism is a threat, but a country that starts taking punitive measures against its citizens, on the basis of the say so of questionable evidence (and there is a reason why intelligence agencies do NOT have power of arrest) is implementing a police state. And will ultimately do far more damage to the way of life of British people, than any Islamist terror group. They can kill us, but only we can destroy what it means to be us.
yes you make some good points and i have to say i have not articulated myself very well. 1. Re The stricter guidlines of jihadists by that i mean we dont not let them back in or that they get a very long sentence/life imprisonment and definatley not pandered to after a short stay in prison where it is optional to take the reintergration programe.

Welcome to politics in the 2017. The last march I attended was Save Lewisham Hospital but I walked away because of all the SWP banners, Fcuk the Tories, Stop The War, jail the bankers etc. I guess what I really wanted was the hospital to close.

Wow.Just an opinion,about a football forum,expressed on a football forum about toleration of cyber bulling by people who rabbit on about the virtues of traditional British values..Nothing anyone should cringe about.But,if it makes you cringe (and each to their own),you may be the one taking it on a level over and above that of a football forum Edited by legaleagle (02 Nov 2017 10.27pm)

I just hate fascists.Not part of any organisation.Can't stand the SWP.Was handed a leaflet at the station this week by a nice middle aged woman.Like your granddad,my dad was at Cable Street (and no he wasn't a communist).By slagging people opposing fascists and chucking the usual anti-leftie bilge (and appearing to care more about that than fascist extremism),Mr Choo Choo shows that his opposition to extremism is perhaps less universal than he and the FLA might have us believe,and he engages in the same slagging tactics he complains about "the opposition" using.
