UK: Muslim groups warn of radical backlash

Radical backlash means they are going to bomb the crap out of British civilians, buses... and are giving the Lib media a heads up for the excuse to make for them.

[OpusatFR]

"...banning radical Islamic groups could fuel a radical sub-culture..."

Ok. That statement is just plain stupid.

[bboop]

OOOhhhh, backlash? Maybe they'll be mad and then they will -- behead people? Put up IEDs? Attack our buildings with airplanes? Blow up subways? Try not to make the muzzies mad, whatever you do.

[LibSnubber]

Nearly 40 signatories, including the Islamic Human Rights Commission and the Muslim Association of Britain, said new measures outlined by the prime minister could lead to Islamic values being "demonised".

Way too late for that, islamic values are being seen as "demonic" because they ARE demonic.

The closure of mosques accused of "fomenting extremism" would amount to a collective punishment of the community, the statement warned.

So get your community to clean up it's own cesspits then there won't be a problem..

Moderate Muslims = Fairy + Tale

fuel a radical sub-culture in Britain.

Um, this has already happened, hasn't it?

[Ashamed Canadian]

"However, we will not allow the demonising, devaluing or targeting of the concept of Islam which will we hold very dear."

Well we won't allow you to bomb the crap out of us.

[ncountylee]

Threats, whines, welfare abuse, mass murder...the Muslims are such a pleasant people and wonderful addition to the British Heritage.

[PeterPrinciple]

I guess I would say damned if you do and damned if you don't ..........so you might as well do. Appeasement only delays the war, it does not prevent it.

[cripplecreek]

It's not a warning it's a threat and it should be responded to appropriately.

legitimate Islamic values and beliefs

Name a legitimate Islamic value. Then tell me what makes it legitimate. Is it legitimate because it upholds the dignity of the human person as a creation of God? Or is it legitimate because "it's in the Koran"?

[Dark Skies]

The Islamic mind is the most circular in its thinking (if you can call it thinking) of any I have ever seen. They are essentially saying, "if you threaten to deport any of us or close down any mosques for fomenting terrorism, we will foment terrorism."

[PeteB570]

Agree;

I thought there was a "radical sub-culture" there already.

London bombings, anyone?

[Unam Sanctam]

The radical sub-culture already exists. The measures simply address that pre-exisitng culture. This statement is like a threat and call to appeasement.

[Kibbylou]

"We fear that recent events..."

Yes, dear, fear is what terrorism is all about...consider it the "boomerang effect"....or "instant karma".

[Tacis]

The backlash threat is as predictable as the cable company's rate increase.

"They wouldn't have done such horrible Muslim things if we hadn't been mean to them" is just another way of allowing then to blame their pig fat crimes on their victims.

[C-Note]

"On issuing today's statement, Massoud Shadjareh, chairman of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, said: "The British Muslim community has always been a law-abiding community and all its endeavours to create a just society have been entirely peaceful."

It's "endeavors to create a just society" is what caused this problem in the first place, genius.
