"UK's failure to use its influence to end Israeli attacks on civilians are fuelling extremism at home."
Yep, no problem with Hezbollah attacking "civilians", opps I forgot, they are just apes!
They have serious issues of surreality in the UK but we have similar issues in the US with our apologist lefties such as Murtha, Kerry, Reid, et al. The core issue is our "disease" of tolerance for people who bring their religious and social intolerance to the free West to take advantage of our open society. They then take advantage of the freedom to try to force upon us their repressive forms of Sharia!.
It needs to be stopped!
Reading the article, the question in my mind becomes, "What is the difference between a warning and a threat?"
LMAO! Good for you!
Get us some good pics.
I miss NYC big time. I used to travel there every week. I once had a Cabbie take me from Time Square to Laguardia. He was screaming things out the window at the wackos as we went along. It was funny but I thought he was going to get us killed... I'll never forget it.
Stay safe out there!
Muslims shouldn't even BE in Britain, let alone express an opinion there.
They should all be shipped back - even the ones BORN there or naturalized there.
Has Blair thanked them for the help?
He's on holiday.
UK muslims, like immigrant muslims everywhere, never stand up for the country they have chosen to live in, but always protest against that country's efforts to maintain its identity in the face of muslim terror. They are not residents or citizens to be trusted. The UK is not a country of mosques, thus, they should be taken down immediately and their clerics just as immediately deported.
" The UK is not a country of mosques "
Been there lately , or France or Belgium ?
Its their plan to populate Europe . They themselves say so / The world is asleep my friend BIG TIME. The Muzzies use the freedom they find in the West to strangle the West . Their religion and culture , by it's very nature, is opposed to Western Culture. The 2 can never blend or exist together. This country ( and Europe) must begin blocking immigration from Islamic countries and start deporting all Islamic's who are not citizens . If we don't it's the end of Western civilization. I do not say this lightly.
You should have spit on him him . Good work though . I had the pleasure of refusing to shake Jessie Jackson's hand 2 years ago . He was VERY offended . Screw them both.
Err, what? My post was a factual comment on the political situation in the UK, but whatever!
I'm not so sure how pointing out that there is a large portion of the Labour Party who are very much opposed to the way that Blair has handled the situation with regard to Lebanon (feel free to provide evidence if you disagree with this) makes me an 'Islamofacist appeaser'. In big bold letters no less.
Translation: If you don't want to help us kill Israelis, then we will kill you.
Um, well that's a completely different piece of my post than you quoted the first time and which I replied to your comment on. Although I'm still not sure how any of it would make me an islamofascist apologist or whatever it was.
As I said previously, my main point was to highlight some of the nuances of the political situation in the UK which seem to have escaped you, namely that the people that the article describes opposing Blair's view include some of his natural political allies and some peoples who are actually members of the 'government' who, as you say, are ultimately responsible for the security services who uncovered the plot. And that the views expressed are also held by a fair number of other members of his Parliamentary party.
Fine if you think that's asinine, in boldy print, don't bother replying or considering it. No need to get your knickers in quite such a twist though!
"You pointed out that Blair's stance against terrorism is not wholly supported. This is the same dissembling, irrelevant, non-sequitor that these islamofascist appeasers use when they are called out for not condemning terorism"
No it isn't, it's a (fairly obvious and non-controversial) comment on internal Labour Party politics which involved no particular value judgement on my part. I'm not sure how such a thing can possibly be 'appeasing' anyone. I'm not even sure if you're saying that I should not be discussing the wider political context and implications of this opposition to Blair's policies from within his own party and own supporters. Or if you're saying that I avoid 'appeasement' by declaring that the whole of Blair's party is squarely behind him, even though the statement is clearly false and it's not like I care if the party implodes anyway.
" Lets see if an analogy works ..."
Not so much. Try:
1. Police catch rapist planning attack.
2. Various members of police force criticise policies of police chief as not being helpful in discouraging rapes in the area.
3. People with an interest in local policing debate the implications of this disagreement in the police force.
I'm not sure I really see the point of posting a thread on a political discussion board if you don't want to, well, discuss politics.
