Ping!

"Faith-hate"?

If the Muslims feel they are not liked sufficiently, they might begin decrying the activities of their more enthusiastic members.

Or they could simply go back from whence they came.

[thoughtomator]

I can see how a person might lose faith in a process that responds to the bombings with making criticism of Islam illegal.

[bill1952]

I don't see that, Ivan.

A bunch of politicans will do a little, and then there will be a pause until the next attack.

Welcome to the joys of multi culturalism.

Remember folks... In order to make the koran two-ply, just tear out two pages at once.

[TomGuy]

Curious directionalism.

When the actions are against certain groups, they are labeled as hate crimes or race crimes.

When the actions are by cerrtain groups, they are not labeled as hate crimes or race crimes.

Beheading civilians seems hate-based.
Blowing up buses with civilians on them seems hate-based.
Blowing up trains with civilians on them seems hate-based.
Plowing hijacked airliners filled with civilians into buildings populated with civilians seems hate-based.

Maybe it is just my perception.

Perhaps we need a better PC definition of what hate-based is from the PC crowd. They seem rather one-sided in their accusatings of what is 'hate-based.'

I'm hoping the spirit of King Richard will invigorate the "final" Crusade.

[Mr. Mojo]

But last week [Muslim leaders] were criticised for failing to do enough to confront extremists within their own community.

Legitimate criticism. In fact, this is a world-wide problem and the main reason so many folks don't buy into the "it's just a small group of extremists who've hijacked Islam" bullsh/t.

Gee, I wonder why?

[indcons]

That headline is really exciting. Great news.

It is difficult for me to gauge the temperature of British public opinon about the bombings, in that I know only what I've been told by media. Do you believe there is enough anger to devolve the situation that far? And is that anger present in many Britons, or just a violent minority?

[Txsleuth]

I must say that having read quite a few articles about the multitude of Muslims in England, and their propensity to "speak out" about their beliefs,

have made me nervous for you and snugs, (and any other Brit freepers) for a long time...I see that Blair is trying to close that barn door, after the terrorists got out...

kind of like we have had to do here.

But, I have decided that both countried need to make it POLICY to profile from now on....and if the Muslim community doesn't like it, maybe THEN the so-called "good" Muslim leaders will finally speak out...

Until then, I am afraid that more such attacks will happen here and there...and I am so sorry for what ya'll went through last week.

this situation may slide into anarchy

They have survived worse crises. The system of state is the best in the world; it even has accountability, something the American system doesn't. The slide to chaos won't last long or go far.

[Originalist]

A counter-terrorism bill due in the autumn will create a new offence of “glorifying or endorsing” terrorism. Two further offences being drawn up by the Home Office will mean extremists who provide or receive terrorist training would face prosecution, as would those committing “acts preparatory to terrorism”, such as fund-raising or providing safe houses.

Sadly, the fall may be too late. Also, while I may understand the sentiment behind the "hate crimes", spitting on women and burning mosques needs to be stopped.

[CzarNicky]

If the women don't want to be spit upon perhaps they might stop wearing tents and adopt a mode of dress more common to the land in which they now dwell.

[NY Attitude]

I just wonder if the muslim community ever heard of the payback in spades delivered to Dresden?

[FreedomSurge]

The Muslims are a bunch of little girls. Can dish it out but can't take it.

You are not usually prone to hyperbole.

"Rise in anti-Muslim attacks"

It is not unprovoked.

Terrorist attacks by Muslims= Rise in anti-Muslim attacks.

Every measure of deterrence against future terrorism is needed.
