Thread Name: Explosions in London
Subject: RE: Explosions in London
"Does it matter they were muslims? So your saying the police should ingore the avenue of religious fanatacism in their enquiries?

Please show me where I have said that. I think the police should investigate every avenue they deem appropriate. But we are not the police.

They should ignore muslims at finsbury mosque declaring jihad on western peoples calling for murder? They should ignore televised muslims celebrating the attack in London?

This is where you and your lieutenant the GUEST lost me completely. The two of you have posted articles about things that happened after the 9/11 bombings in the US, and pretended that they just now happened, in London, in response to the London bombings. I don't trust people who lie to me and try to otherwise mislead me. I don't see any reason to believe your assertion that there were televised incidents of Muslims celebrating the bombings in London unless I hear it from someone besides you and your henchmen. Others on this thread have said they did not see these things.

However, even if they did, you still can't hold all Muslims responsible for the acts of a few. Otherwise it would be correspondingly appropriate to hold you personally responsible for every act of violence committed against Muslims by people who are not Muslim.

You think all this should be ignored for the greater good of 'tolerance'?

Of course not. I think it should be put into the proper context, along with all of the hideous things that are done by people who are not Muslims, and dealt with accordingly.

And what I think you should do is to criticize all violent behavior, whether it is committed by Muslims against non-Muslims, or by non-Muslims against Muslims. Otherwise, you are a hypocrite and a hate-monger.
