There is no way that any Abrahamic religion (Christianity, Islam, Judaism) can possibly be banned in any European state. The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) prevents it. Even if the UK backed out of the Convention (an unlikely scenario in spite of Cameron’s rhetoric) you still wouldn’t be able to make it work.
The very thing that sets UK apart from theocracies (religiously run states) like Iran is our tolerance. Without that we’d be just as likely to end up as a Christian theocracy which, by the way, could be just as barbaric. Have you read the bible lately? It’s every bit as brutal as the Koran, which is hardly surprising since it’s based upon the same God of War.
Of course, many EDL supporters might complain that it’s different in Christianity – modern Christians are usually pretty moderate. And they’d be right – many Christians are moderate, but so are many Muslims. Have you ever wondered why so many Muslims choose to live in less radical countries like UK instead of Islamic strongholds? Have you ever taken the trouble to talk to a few Muslims and ask them? I have. Many Muslims are moderate – that’s why they’re here.
Of course there are some Muslim extremists in UK – but there are at least as many extremist Christians. I know – I used to be one.
Here’s a challenge for you. Go to your local Pentecostal, fundamentalist Christian church and ask the local congregation what they think about male dominance, about the wife being subservient to the man in all things. Ask them what they think about women speaking in church or about the rights of homosexuals. Ask them if the rules in Leviticus are to be obeyed (that’s a real eye opener) and then disregard their bigotry.
The fact is that there are bigoted Christians just as there are bigoted Muslims. But the Muslims that don’t like those rules – those awful prejudices – are the ones most likely to come to countries like UK where they can be free. These people are much more like you than you might imagine.
Just as you reject the more ridiculous rules of both Islam AND Christianity (you know – the bits about keeping slaves and stoning raped women to death), so do they. That’s why they moved.
And these Muslims have something that can be a great asset to UK society – they understand what religious oppression is all about. They understand it and they want no part of it.
Of course there will be exceptions. But then there are exceptions among the Christian community too. There are Catholics who oppose contraception and Christian fundamentalists who oppose sex education. There are Christian creationists who want our children taught only creation instead of evolution and there are Christian bigots who oppose equal marriage as though what other people do in their own bedrooms is any of their business.
There are also people who believe the world is flat because the bible tells them so but they’re hardly mainstream. So it is with Muslims.
And there are other things that we know about Muslims too.
• We know that many Muslims are hardworking and peaceful.
• We know that many Muslims are devoted to their families.
• We know that many Muslims hate terrorists and report extremism to the UK intelligence services when they turn up in their Mosques.
• We know that many Muslims are just like the rest of us.
So here’s a challenge – ask yourself just what it is that you hope to achieve by standing around in car parks and police kettles shouting obscenities about someone else’s God. And when you ask yourself – answer honestly.
• Is it about the people in your local Mosque or is it about your need to blame someone, anyone for the fact that you’ve been knocked back by an oppressive society?
• Are you really sure that you’re attacking the right target?
• Are you really sure that your methods are the right ones?

I advocate peaceful integration and legal penalties for those who disrupt the peace. As do most UK citizens.
And yes I advocate education – how else will you know whether you’re making good decisions?
Read a book!

I’d have thought advocating prosecuting criminals who come from the ranks of MDL, EDL, BNP, MAC (now proscribed) & other extremists from all sides is fairly well balanced actually. Wouldn’t you?

What’s your objection to reading a book or two anyway?
LikeLike
it would be, if u would also convict islamic organisations but u being a typical lefty wont recognise the problem so u decide to slate the patriotic organisations instead, an i have nothing against reading a book but to read a book is well simply reading a book, why dont u go out onto the streets everyone once in a while and take a look or look at what laws are being changed for these people thats faaaaar more powerful then read a book

Have you actually read my last comments at all?
It really is depressingly circular trying to debate with someone who is so ill-equipped to participate.
So in the intereats of fairness I’ll refrain from exposing your inability to reason any more until (& unless) you come up with something that isn’t either:
Old ground;
Unfounded assumption;
Clearly inaccurate;
Such extreme evidence of stupidity that it would be unfair to challenge it (like fighting an unarmed opponent).
Come on now – try to come up with something at least superficially intelligent, if you can.

You may not realise this but MDL & MAC are muslim extremist groups. Now please stop being so silly.

Read the last post. Forgive me laughing as you struggle through the task of encoding the meaning of written English (obviously not your strong suit).
If you come up with a question that makes sense I’ll answer it. In the meantime I’ll just carry on giggling at your nonsensical, comments.
I’m sorry if that seems hard – I shouldn’t laugh at the ‘hard of understanding’ – nature has, after all, disadvantaged you quite enough.

I had actually answered your question before you asked it. And then again after you asked it.
Also you complain that I ‘come on here’ and tell you stuff. This is actually my blog. You’re the one who chose to jump in.
But for the record – and for the last time – I oppose all extremists and I loathe all 3 Abrahamic religions (I have said this several times). I advocate prosecution of all those who assault, intimidate or murder others regardless of their religious or cultural backgrounds.

Nope – sorry. You’re still talking nonsense, I’m afraid.
You’re asking me for details about a premise you have raised that I have already demonstrated has no substance. There are no details to be given because the initial premise (the idea that I don’t oppose muslim criminals) is demonstrably flawed.

When you find someone to discuss this with perhaps you’ll explain to them what you mean by ‘your own people’ as I’m clearly too stupid to understand (unless, of course you’re making a very arbitrary discriminatory point).
Anyway – bye then.

You should join the UAF.
Sounds like your sort of thing.

Not my thing. The UAF is too ready to be violent themselves.
I believe Fascism should be beaten by peaceful means so although I sympathise greatly with the UAF’s motives I don’t support the methods of any group that uses street violence.
