This is also worth a read, if the usual suspects can be rational for a while, and not follow the Islamic fundamentalists down the non-rational, emotional path
Mehdi Hasan: How Islamic is Islamic State?
Whether de-Baathification was a ghastly blunder depends on what US goals were and are, i.e. genuinely wishing to establish a stable democracy, as they claimed, versus destabilising the Middle East or Syria anyway.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Xenophobia is fear of those from different countries and possibly cultures.
Racism is specific to race - now how you define race then makes that so much more fun because everyone is apparently a different race. Including Travelers and the welsh.
To make reasonable fear of change or concerns over safety appear unpleasant it seems many people chant racism whenever someone a little different is involved.
Working on that basis gets me through the day."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Racism to many covers all forms of xenophobia. On the other hand, when someone writes about Islam and also mentions the colour of skin of the majority of Muslims, then racism is probably correct. It's all fuelled by fear and hatred of the different, so does it really matter?
The migrant are majority from Syria and they are considered Caucasian, they are not so white like the British (not so appeal to British) but they are white and not from a different race, except the Muslim from certain parts of Africa.
In my point of view the word racism it's wrongly appliedComment

If someone who expresses hatred towards Muslims is wrongly called a racist, does that change the fact that the person is nasty little ****, whose noxious spewings should be shut down?

We've got a local facebook group and a couple of people keep posting about collections for the refugees in Calais and the thread always descends in to chaos arguing over migrant/refugee and invariably ends up getting deleted.Last edited by northernladuk; 9 August 2016, 12:42.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
