Reply to: Explosion in Manchester

There was talk about integration on this thread particularly among the right and the Tory voters yet it seems from reading the Conservative Manifesto that they're in favour of more segregation! Page 50:

‘We will replace the unfair and ineffective inclusivity rules that prevent the establishment of new Roman Catholic schools, instead requiring new faith schools to prove that parents of other faiths and none would be prepared to send their children to that school.’

What the manifesto is saying is that the Tories are determined to lift the 50% cap on selection of pupils by faith that was introduced 10 years ago to prevent the education system becoming ghettoised. In other words, they are encouraging segregation in the playgrounds.

It will be interesting to see what comes out of this:

Teachers and religious figures in Manchester who knew Abedi raised concerns about his extremist views on multiple occasions and over several years.

Perhaps the 'Muslim community' is a reliable partner against radical Islam.

I went to a local shop yesterday and met some guy - muslim. He was overly helpful and was looking at me as if he was trying to compensate for recent events. Hmmm

Maybe you'd left your cock hanging out and he felt sorry for you.

Maybe he thought you were shop lifting?

Nice anecdote.

Whereas in a Christian country this happens. All part of the balance of free speech and 'public morals'.

Bonkers.

So the moderate muslims allowed the statue and the less moderate ones got it removed.

In this case, the government is that of Bangladesh. A Muslim country. Not a massively surprising (nor disturbing) occurrence.

Wasn't the IRA about freeing Ireland from the UK originally?

Not going to happen.

When the hardliners do this* you know it's going to be a long painful road ahead when a religion has enough hardline support to cause governments to kowtow to their demands for the sake of 'keeping the peace'.

* Staged protests as idolatry is offensive to Islam, until the Greek goddess statue was removed.

The fact remains this lunatic was on the radar. And we welcomed him back to he U.K. from Libya.

Why is it?

Two completely different cultures and situations. One has just come out of a war, highly unstable and this is a way of life. Ours isn't. Because they are OK with it doesn't mean we should be. I get your point but I think it could have been much better put.

[NorthWestPerm2Contr]

No but that comparison is just utter tulip.

Why is it?
