The muslims I have met, and working in london schools I meet quite a few, are all intolerant of muslim extremism and ashamed of what happens in the name of Allah and the prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him. Sure, there are a lot of reformist Muslims in the UK.....But again, you're not recognising that mainstream Islamic belief does also carry a lot of support for apostasy and Sharia law as well. Enough to call it mainstream. Did you see many Islamic people complaining about the schools in Birmingham? I'm sure there are some but their are pretty quiet to me. Like I say Nick, read Irshad Manji.....She is a Muslim and she tells it like it is......Maybe you should listen. There's a lot more than meets the eye to the Trojan horse affair - enough to warrant its own thread. All sides are in some respect culpable. I shall check out the Irshad Manji, thanks for the heads up. I think you should worry a little less about muslims and more about what this current lot in power are doing to our way of life.
Your apologist dogma makes me sick.
Please explain to me how David Cameron makes people blow up tube trains. Please explain how David Cameron makes middle class Asian kids go to Syria and kill people not aligned to their viewpoint. Please explain to me how supporting an outdated set of ideals which makes women walk four paces behind their husband and not be allowed to have an education is somehow better than what women in Britain are allowed to have. Please explain this and how David Cameron is responsible for all of it.

You said that the government is more dangerous to our way of life than Muslim Extremism, followed by a typical apologist statement that you know many Muslims, all of whom abhor extremist violence. I think both statements are bollocks and are just part of your agenda as a contrarian. I think that ignoring the rise of Muslim extremism is very dangerous and apologists like yourself hold double standards. You profess to hate discrimination yet apologise for extremists who want to see women marginalised and gays stoned. Hope that clears it up for you Gusset.
Here we go. The problem is Gusset, it is very difficult to believe someone who trots out the classic racists excuse 'some of my friends are [enter ethnicity to suit argument]'. I am not saying you are a racist before you twist that, I am saying your argument is cliched. I have answered about the Cameron comment and you either don't wish to understand what I said or understand it. You are apologising for extremists. You state that the government is more dangerous than extremists to our way of life. That is total bollocks. Gusset, you are a middle class contrarian rebelling against the state because you want too. Your argument on this subject, like so many others, do not stand up to scrutiny. However, sticking your head in the sand is your business and your choice.

I don't know how some of you lot would have coped in the 70's with IRA bombs going off in London every other month for years. Muslim extremism is a hundred times the danger to other muslims in their own country than it is to us lot in Blighty. pakistan, Nigeria, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan - pity those poor tens of millions of souls wanting a peaceful family life not conflict and stop wetting yer pants about something that is not going to happen to you. Top 10 terrorists groups worldwide in 2012. 6 were Islamic fundamentalist types 4 were not (FARC,PKK, Indian Maoist, FLNC)
Do you remember your rant about UKIP where you said the problem would be in ten years time when millions of racists will be unleashed into the political hierarchy as a result of voting for Nigel Farage? Do you not apply the same logic to Muslim extremism or does that not count for some reason?

Think this thread might have run its course. Interesting at the beginning, but has devolved into another childish 'he said, she said' saga.

I suppose if Adolf were alive today with a bushy beard and having been brought up in Algeria his 1930's speeches about land and race and superiority could effortlessly be mirrored today with him shouting about the greatness of a Maghreb Union, killing Infidels and the one God Allah. But, then again, if he'd been born an Ultra-Orthodox Jew or a fundamentalist Christian or militant Buddhist then he could also be talking about ideological/religious enemies, land grabs and other Gods in terms of acceptable violence against those who beg to differ. An extreme nutter is an extreme nutter whatever their hue. Worse case scenario is a massive fundamentalist Muslim link up from pakistan all the way to Morocco. Is it a big problem for us if that did happen? Could just leave them to it and forget about democratising them. Only about 750million Muslims who aren't nutters would want to come here.
So whilst the vast majority of religious nutters threatening the west are of a wahabi influenced muslim persuasion there are other religious groups who are not muslim but are engaging in similar acts in Asia and Africa. Namely the killing of people who are not like them. They be religious nutters too and no point in pretending otherwise just because there are more Muslim ones.
I think even I as a Christian can confirm there are nutters of all persuasion Kerm, but there is clearly a much bigger problem with Islam right now, and around the world as well.

Rather than liken Islam to Nazism, it is probably more accurate to draw parallels to the western past in general. It seems to me that Christianity, centuries ago, carried out much the same sort of atrocities, i.e. Catholic/Protestant & Christianity/Islam. As a race we seem to be incapable of learning the lessons of our own past.

Your post is atypical of those on the left who push forward the approach that Islamic extremism here is overblown. It's a problem here....much more than for any other religion and us taxpayers have to pay through the nose for our security services to watch British Islamic nutters. I don't think anyone is saying that there isn't a problem with muslim extremism. But I do think that reaction to it is overblown. Much in the same way that Orwell used 2 minutes hate towards Emmanuel Goldstein in 1984.

--We're leading growth in the G7, but this time we're not pissing the money away.-- As the gap between rich and poor continues to grow along with the concentration of capital this 'growth' is meaningless to all but the very top rung of society. And no, they aren't giving away any of it.
