However they also are pro democratic. I don't like ukip either but again they are democratic and I find that acceptable. Groups like the EDL national action etc aren't, they represent a far right 'street' movement that aren't engaged in political discourse but acting out those prejudices Are the EDL anti democratic? I've had a look at 'national action' and what I saw wasn't very pretty...so yeah. I'll have a look at EDL.

My comment on this is that there should be a resistance to 'dumbing down' in general. It's important that the need to 'connect' with the layperson is balanced by the fact that these are disciplines of knowledge.....So a balance. Anything outside of this is sheer nonsense designed to censor people's use of words.....Activists and the media have a vested interest in keeping that repression going.

Or are referring to a kind of Athenian democracy where the citizens can vote, but not slaves?

It seems they do support the democratic process. Interestingly It seems that they have a Sikh division. Anyway this is their mission statement: From reading that, I can see why you don't like it because it's nationalistic. I'd regard them far more favorably than say the BNP.

Edited by Stirlingsays (13 Sep 2017 9.46pm) The two most recognisable Sikh fascists and racists in the UK are Rajinder Singh,[1] and Guramit Singh, the former who was a long-time member and supporter of the British National Party (BNP), who wasn't even allowed to join them until 2010 because he wasn't White; and the latter who was a founding member of the English Defence League (EDL),[2] who was also the head of it's EDL Sikh Division. Guramit was friends with another racist and ex-BNP member, and also EDL founder, Tommy Robinson (who's real name is Stephan Yaxley-Lennon).[3] The organisation was solely dedicated to hating Muslims, and terrorising Muslims in small anti-Jewish like pogroms,[4] reminiscent of those of early 20th century Russia. At one point the police were spending £800,000 pounds per rally in order to control up to 2,000 of their members from rioting and it spiralling out of control.[5][6][7] The organisation was also full of ex-convicts, terrorists,[8][9] child-groomers, rapists,[10] paedophiles and child molesters,[11][12] football hooligans,[13][14] murderers,[15] wife-beaters,[16] white supremacists[n. 4] and racists.[17] It even had someone who was claiming he was Muslim ("Abdul Rafiq",[18] although he wasn't well liked and mostly served as the uncle tom of the group (who could actually be classified as a vulnerable person, as he may have a mental illness). Why Sikhs join such organisations isn't entirely clear, aside from hatred of Muslims; the real reason may actually lie in jealousy or envy, according to one member of the Sikh faith, Bhupinder Singh.[19] Guramit Singh Kalirai was eventually jailed in 2013 in a botched robbery he committed with two additional accomplices (Andrew Wheelhouse and David Mura) in May 2013, in Nottingham, where they also threatened to slash their victims throat.[20][21][22] It took all three of the men to pin down the shopkeeper and force him to hand over the money.[20] Singh escaped, but one of his colleagues was caught by an adjacent shopkeeper.[20] Singh was also previously arrested for hate speech he had committed in December 11th, 2010 where he wished Muslims would "burn in hell".[23] Robinson at the time stated that "[t]he EDL are fully behind him" finding that there was "nothing wrong with his speech".[24] Sunny Hundal, who is Sikh himself, postulated that Singh's hatred of Muslims stems from past historical conflict originating in India which is now being imported to the UK[n. 5][n. 6] (whether correct or falsified), with also rumours of Sikh girls being seduced by Muslim boys and being "forced" to convert to Islam (another conspiracy theory having originated in India)—the evidence which as of yet still hasn't been produced by those making the accusations.[25] This hasn't been helped by the fact that the "Hindu Forum Britain" (an umbrella organisation which represents 300 Hindu organisations,[26] which has been overtaken by Hindu radicals[27]) has also bought into anti-Muslim conspiracy theories but has "produced no evidence".[25] Singh has also been condemned by Sikh organisations such as "Sikhs Against the EDL".[28][29] Rajinder Singh (b. 1932) is an octogenarian Sikh, who is a BNP (British National Party) voter and the only visibly known vocal ethnic minority supporter.[1] He is a retired primary school teacher who emigrated from India to the United Kingdom in 1967.[1] He claims his hatred of Muslims stems down to when his father was killed (by unknown assailants) during the partition violence,[1] where both Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus all died in rioting trying to emigrate to or from India and pakistan. When Singh became aware of the White supremacist BNP party, he said he began to vote for them thereafter in every election, whether local or general.[1] He even wrote a character reference for convicted anti-Semite Nick Griffin when he was accused of racial discrimination (it should be noted that the BNP are, ironically, openly and blatantly racist against all non-Whites including him).[1] In the May 2010 general election the party gained 563,743 votes, but by 2015, they claimed only 1,667 (a drop of 99.7%).[30] This is probably as a result of the voters moving over and voting for the UKIP party. It should be noted that in 2010, a member of the BNP was convicted to 11 years in jail for producing 54 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) which he planned to use against non-Whites, in West Yorkshire, England.[31] He was also armed with 12 guns. He was an ardent member of the party, with letters from the BNP and it's magazine found in his home.[31] Another BNP terrorist was jailed for 50 years in 2007 for killing two people, including a pregnant White woman. Lovely people then these fascist Sikhs.

Sorry, I forgot references, citations and evidence are irrelevant in this 'post truth' world of yours? Who said it was balanced? You said something along the lines of 'oh they've got a Sikh division ' I look forward to your response.

You said something along the lines of 'oh they've got a Sikh division ' I look forward to your response. 'references, citations and evidence' Heavily biased information about them using a source that opposes them. I urge anyone half way interested in checking out Nick's sources to judge on their reliability to check out the site. I have no way of knowing if that information is fair.....But then again I'm not the one cut and pasting stuff slandering their name am I....you are. That reality is worthy of comment....nothing more. The mission statement of the EDL looks reasonable to me, but as I don't know anything more about the group other than that I couldn't comment on it. Edited by Stirlingsays (14 Sep 2017 1.53am)

Should someone compile a list of incidents that 'have nothing to do with Islam', but have been carried out by Muslims? The fear is that the HOL IT Servers would not cope with the post.
We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |
