there silence is indeed fishy ernie

I've asked the Koi Keepers society for their view on the matter, but so far no response. In fairness it's been two years since their last tweet, so I'm not expecting a prompt reply.
I don't know if you have personal problems or work issues, and come here to take your anger out on others, but it's really obvious. Try reading your posts back to yourself before clicking submit, 'cause right now you're coming across like the angry man on a street corner shouting at dustbins.
This thread was about UKIP-style anti-Muslim sentiment. The general sentiment is that because of backwards policies in the rest of the world Muslims at home are being unreasonably targeted, despite the fact they despise what's going on in Africa and the remoter parts of ****stan.
Therefore their situation here is not being helped by the organisation that claims to represent Muslims in Britain keeping mum on the subject.
I didn't see the quote you're referring to; I merely looked on their website and Twitter feed.
Me angry ?!! 🙂
On the contrary, it amused me how you held accountable people in this country for something which they clearly weren't responsible for, and which happened thousands of miles away in a different country, hence my little joke about the British Koi Carp Society ..... you did realise that it was a joke didn't you ?
And to add further to my amusement was the fact that the claim you made wasn't even true ! How ironic !
But my leg-pulling and teasing has obviously made [i]you[/i] every angry and for that I'm sorry - it wasn't my intention 😐
And yes, I am aware what this thread is about - it's about people lumping all Muslims together and holding them accountable for the behaviour of a minority. I detect more irony there.
Until they get the message across to the great unwashed that the dark age practices in Africa have no place in modern Islam, they're effectively condoning the practice.
There's some seriously awful things being done in Africa in the name of christianity - torture and murder of children for instance.
I can only assume from the Archbishop of Canterbury's silence on the issue that he condones it - when will he speak up? When will ordinary moderate christians denounce it - their silence speaks volumes TBH.
When you stop thinking of people as individuals it's easier to demonise them.
I remember being spat on during the annual Whit Walks into Manchester as a five year old kid.
Odd, because all the Catholic families I knew along with our churches and schools were all regularly the loudlest and most passionate opponents of violence.
Made no difference, the ignorance displayed toward Catholisism in the UK, the most tolerant and fair minded of countries, is still staggering.
And we only lived in Manchester, what it must have been like in NI for all concerned I've no idea.
God knows how the majority of peaceful, moderate decent Muslim families in the UK must feel.
I'm an atheist myself, but to say that a moderate interpretation of the Koran is fundamentally worse than an equally moderate interpretation of the Bible is questionable indeed.
All religions are equally fundamentally flawed in theory, but the variety of interpretation is infinite.
And humans are very easily influenced.

I thought he came her eto give great insights and take the piss [ I am often blisfully ignorant to which he is doing at anyone given time but, tbh, I think that is may failing and not his 😳

Yes that is what some have claimed and they are wrong
Instead of ernie reading his why dont you google yours?

Even the atheists
Which is ironic, because Islam is designed to be a compatible religion- being launched into a crowded marketplace they couldn't take on the established products head-on so they did a cunning backwards compatability thing and declared that the "people of the book"- christians, jews and IIRC zoroastrians- are cool with them. Sort of like old vs new testament, "Yeah these dudes are basically doing Islam Version 1, they just don't know it, here's Service Pack 2"
Historically, thats always been if you submit to their rule though.
Morning, Cup of tea anyone? - Was a bit drunk last night and just sorting a bacon sandwich to soak it up a bit - Neither of which I could do under Islam.
I suggest you don't become a Muslim, then.

I know someone who considers themselves a Muslim who drinks booze and eats bacon. They are also gay.
Why?
If he hadn't drunk alcohol, he wouldn't have had the hangover.
