That's surreal. In my country where there's two pretty active and violent Muslim fundamentalist groups. You still don't hear them rant like that in public. It's an invitation to get beaten up even by their own people. Imagine what our police will do if you start talking like that. I can't believe you Western folks stand for this sh!t.

Well - that's more moral equivalence, because we can find some other religious nutters, that means we do not have to confront the menace of radical islam. We have a lot more of a problem with islamic nutters than the nutters from any other religion right at the moment - dont we.

We sure do.I really see western Euro liberalism and the large Muslim population in the west as a big problem.The population bomb scares me more than anything because I know where it will go. And this example can stand on its own without Islam and that is Kosovo.One group hostile to the host country walked away with land.

My comment was simply that not everybody who happens to be a muslim is driving around ranting through a loudspeaker and confronting the police who are simply doing their jobs. Thats all. You should not try to turn my posting into something that it isn't. Be constructive for a change!

Once again you generalise my post into something it did not say and then accuse me of making PC motherhood statements. I will say that Muslims make up 25% of the population of the world. You want to take on 25% of the population of the world which is what you will do if you confront them? Thats just daft. Problems and differences are resolved by dialogue and agreement.

The Dutch AIVD once set up a entire fake extreme left/communist party, just to get intel on what the leftist elements were up to, during the cold war. Leftists are still scared of the AIVD :).
Obviously doing the same with Islamist cells would be rather difficult, but they are trying to nail people like the hofstad group on everything possible, since the court found that the evidence was not good enough to convict some of the less hardcore members(the guys that used violence are serving sentences varying from 15 to life in prison).
The remaining members are now even getting hammered on not paying their speeding tickets on time or something insignificantp-). Of course they don't go protesting on Dam Square like these morons in Londonistan, but still, it shows you that intelligence agencies often can pull massive strings within the judicial machine...

we don't have to confront all muslims just the ones in western countries.
muslims can be as barbaric and backwards as they want in their own countries, i have no problems with that.

Ok, but stating the obvious is a bit condescending, isn't it?
If it was a bunch of bone heads proclaiming the superiority of the Aryan race, would you feel the need to warn us that you have white friends but all aren't the same?
I posted this video about a dangerous trend of people that happen to be Islamic, bullying their way in full day, in the middle of I don't know what ville, threatening cops, and who happen to be of the same religious affiliation than a bunch of UK citizens of foreign descent who committed a series of terrorist attacks in their own country and abroad.
And all you got to tell us is that there are Muslims who are cool?
Thank you, we knew that already, but maybe it's time your Political correctness and your cool muslim friends start to do something about those thugs, call a thug a thug, and if it happens to be a muslim thug, call them for what they are, denounce them, so maybe you can stop this terrible phenomenon before it is too late.

25% of the world's population, does not live in the UK and have protests. If confronting radical islam means, confronting the world's muslims, then fine. But I doubt that they would all join together.

I'm not talking about intell groups. The people themselves, hell the Muslims themselves will gang up on anybody who goes retard like that on the streets. But I guess it's just temperament. You all get the Arab & Pakistani Muslims. We've got the South East Asian, tropical Muslims who are more laid back.

I think some people like to broaden the dispute for their own purposes. Islam itself is split between people who believe the front of the Koran is more important (tolerance, peace) than those who believe the end of it is (jihad, kill the infidel, sons of apes and pigs...).
What percentage of muslims divide the whole world into the House of War and the House of Islam, really accept that no non-muslim can ever be a friend, and that, all other religions must be crushed, with a theocratic state being established instead of democracy. I don't know the answer to that. There seems to be enough of them though, for this to be a significant issue.
And if you as a muslim, are committed to Sharia law, theocratic government, and the destruction of other religions - then you are not really compatible with the West. The Kaffir are liars, cannot be trusted and can never be the friends of muslims, according to the Koran. Not all muslims practice this..but - it is taught and accepted by many.
There is far more in the Koran and the Hadith to support the radical interpretation of Islam, than there is, to support the moderate stance of some muslims.

I see. No it isnt huh? Well the following quotes suggest there is some basis for what I had referred to. Whether that is what it means, is open to debate. But there are certainly phrases relied upon by radical islam to justify their position. I didn't make it up....
Non-Believers are Liars
[2.8] And there are some people who say: We believe in Allah and the last day; and they are not at all believers.
[2.9] They desire to deceive Allah and those who believe, and they deceive only themselves and they do not perceive.
[2.10] There is a disease in their hearts, so Allah added to their disease and they shall have a painful chastisement because they lied.
[16.39] So that He might make manifest to them that about which they differ, and that those who disbelieve might know that they were liars.
Don’t Be Friends with Infidels
No reference to dont be friends with infidels..except for the following.....
[3.28] Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends rather than believers; and whoever does this, he shall have nothing of (the guardianship of) Allah, but you should guard yourselves against them, guarding carefully; and Allah makes you cautious of (retribution from) Himself; and to Allah is the eventual coming.
[3.118] O you who believe! do not take for intimate friends from among others than your own people; they do not fall short of inflicting loss upon you; they love what distresses you; vehement hatred has already appeared from out of their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater still; indeed, We have made the communications clear to you, if you will understand.
[5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
Jihad in the Koran
And yes, no Jihad in the Koran, except for the following....
"Slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them captive, and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." (Qur'an 9:5).
"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued" (Qur'an 9:29).
[9.5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith. But if they cease, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. (2:190-192)
O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about [Pickthal and others: "who are near to you"], and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him. (9:123)
Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah, - He will never let their deeds be lost. (47:4)

Incredible, or all your supposed intelligence, you seemed to miss the fact that I lived and served over 21 years in the Irish military, where we had our own little problem going on with regards Northern Ireland and the Nationalist and Protestant communities, still I did not see anybody advocating that the South go North and exterminate all the Protestants or vice versa.
You have one hell of a Right wing chip on your shoulder and seem to think your people are the only people who have suffered (particularly since the creation of the State of Israel in 1948).
Europe to has suffered its share of conflicts over the last few hundred years as well. Try reading deeper into European history and not just select bits about carpet bombings.
As for the moral high ground at least I know the meaning of the word, I suggest if you are not finding people to agree with your views on this forum, then go look else where for like minded people, in my opinion you and the small band of like minded people do not do anything to enhance the lives of the people in Israel in fact you do the opposite.

Bambi huh? Not that its a competition, but do you even know anything about the Troubles? Read a bit.
Saying things like you have, is likely to 1) antogonise the people who know about the Troubles, or who lived through them, or have had relatives who did; 2) make people think you are largely ignorant.

The bomb targeted the infrastructure and economy of Manchester and caused widespread damage, valued by insurers at £411 million, to buildings in the commercial centre of the city (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_City_Centre).[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_Manchester_City_Centre_bombing#cite_note-1)

Details of the Bombing
It occurred at 11:16 a.m. (GMT) on Saturday 15 June (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_15) 1996 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996), when the IRA detonated a bomb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomb) containing 1500kg (3300 lb) of explosives. The bomb was located in a Ford lorry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorry) parked two hours earlier in Corporation Street, between the Arndale Centre (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_Arndale_Centre) and the city's Marks and Spencer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marks_and_Spencer) store, close to the centre of the city's shopping district. It was the largest IRA bomb ever detonated in Great Britain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Britain), and the largest bomb to explode in Great Britain since the Second World War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_World_War).
Although warnings had been received in the previous hour and had allowed the evacuation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_evacuation) of the area, 206 people were recorded by the ambulance service as having been injured. Most windows in nearby buildings were blown out, and falling glass caused the majority of the injuries. No one was killed. The blast was audible over 8 miles (13 km) away in residential neighbourhoods.

1984: Tory Cabinet in Brighton bomb blast
There has been a direct bomb attack on the British Government at the Conservative party conference in Brighton.
At least two people have been killed and many others seriously injured, including two senior Cabinet ministers. The blast tore apart the Brighton Grand Hotel where members of the Cabinet have been staying for the Conservative party conference

It was a lot more than aland dispute, Ireland and Britain's problems stemmed from the right to self rdetemination and self rule, compounded by Religion and Political divide.
The Irish could never carry it out, (war of extermination) not enough equipment, people or motivation, nor do they even today, enjoy the support of the entire population of the Republic of Ireland, (a fact well born out by the IRA political party Sinn Fein, never getting more than a handful of members elected in the recent Republics Elections,) also to many Irish are connected to Britain by blood and work over the last 200 years.
Your definition of a war of extermination again assumes that all Arab people want to see Israel and all the Jewish people exterminated, without giving any evidence of proof, if such a situation was in evidence, then their would be more than a few home made rockets landing in Israel, and the odd terrorist bombing, the main purpose of terrorism is to terrorize, seems they have got you well terrorized seeing you advocate mass extermination by carpet bombing of the people of Gaza, followed no doubt by the West Bank, then all points of the compass.

I see. No it isnt huh? Well the following quotes suggest there is some basis for what I had referred to. Whether that is what it means, is open to debate. But there are certainly phrases relied upon by radical islam to justify their position. I didn't make it up....
Non-Believers are Liars
[2.8] And there are some people who say: We believe in Allah and the last day; and they are not at all believers.
[2.9] They desire to deceive Allah and those who believe, and they deceive only themselves and they do not perceive.
[2.10] There is a disease in their hearts, so Allah added to their disease and they shall have a painful chastisement because they lied.
[16.39] So that He might make manifest to them that about which they differ, and that those who disbelieve might know that they were liars.
Might wanna read that again. Its pointed at those who claim to be Muslims but yet breach the very laws of Islam. Does that not make them liars?
Don’t Be Friends with Infidels
No reference to dont be friends with infidels..except for the following.....
[3.28] Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends rather than believers; and whoever does this, he shall have nothing of (the guardianship of) Allah, but you should guard yourselves against them, guarding carefully; and Allah makes you cautious of (retribution from) Himself; and to Allah is the eventual coming.
[3.118] O you who believe! do not take for intimate friends from among others than your own people; they do not fall short of inflicting loss upon you; they love what distresses you; vehement hatred has already appeared from out of their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater still; indeed, We have made the communications clear to you, if you will understand.
[5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
Does Islam Forbid Befriending Non-Muslims? (http://www.theicuc.org/msa/public/node/394)
Jihad in the Koran
And yes, no Jihad in the Koran, except for the following....
"Slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them captive, and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." (Qur'an 9:5).
"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued" (Qur'an 9:29).
[9.5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith. But if they cease, Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. (2:190-192)
O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about [Pickthal and others: "who are near to you"], and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him. (9:123)
Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah, - He will never let their deeds be lost. (47:4)
Verses that were written in times of war, particularly the battle of badr.
The Quran to non-muslims is an fictional book that stems from how Muhammad percieved the world around him. It sets guidelines on how to treat others, how to act in times of peace and war and how to live one's life as an follower of Allah. I believe its as simple as that.
In this day and age I would like to see for every country out there to have an seperation of religion and state when it comes to governing their nation. But the Quran is not at fault for the problems we face today, its alot bigger than that. The Quran is just an excuse.

By the way it looks, Britain will be preoccupied with it's own Hamas movements in a decade or two. I wonder if there will be time then for the leftist elitists to concentrate on the Zionists? :)
LOL you guys are truly 'hysterical' you're like the reds under the beds paranoids of the Cold War era.
As for being a leftie I will think about your comments and smile to myself as I drive to the golf club tomorrow in my brand new Merc :)
You kiddies wouldn't know a real lefty if one dropped on your heads.

Certainly they would, because all the leftist elitists, our own a_very_ex_STAB and other British, who are still stinging from the resounding defeat suffered by their beloved british trained, armed and led Arabs, will be assisting the British Hamas in circle jerking, and on special occasions even taking it up the arse on all Zionist issues.

Judging by Israels rather special demographic time bomb in the making I think its much more likely to be you guys playing hide the sausage with HAMAS :roll:

Keep smug arsehole, Israel is a Jewish State, England is what? My heritage is British but fast becoming anything but what my grandparents remember. Next time you ride the tube in London, the underground railway (of course, circle jerker) check out the the backpackers....

woot
This is exactly the message that is missing.
Majority of Iraqis and egiptians, western turks don't trouble and I hope aren't troubled much in the western Europe. The problems lie in the so called second generation who being taught by illiterate and culturally isolated mothers are bond to fail, and being failures they seek excuses in misunderstood 'imperialism vs anti imperialism' rhetorics and look for help in some 'home' values.
I find it very ironic as exactly these values and troubles they cause made these people moving in the first place.
But even the existence of these fanatic 'delayed' circles is not a real problem.
In the thread about France: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=134109 horizon made a very good remark:
"...But for the(rich) elite from the left, these people should stay violent and rebel just to "annoy" the right and the system they despise, while gaining the utmost profit of it..."
This problem is much richer and more serious than any immigration or poverty issues all together.

True but they did make a concerted effort to bring down the UK economy by repeatedly targeting the financial centres of the City of London.
As I'm rather materialistic I regard that as being a significant threat to our way of life in the UK.

Keep smug arsehole,
It will be interesting to see if the banning standards are applied consistently in this instance ;-)
It appears that 'arsehole' (when used by a fanboy) is less offensive than 'asshole' (when used by someone else) on MP.net - how wonderfully hypocritical.
