UK Election. Results for the PR Moaners..

I can see how Islam could be a peaceful religion...the provision for jihad is to rid the earth of the "infidels", so if EVERYONE were to convert to Islam, it COULD be a peaceful religion without any infidels to eliminate.

Yeah...not much chance of that happening, so those who proclaim that Islam is a peaceful religion must be, as you said, Jim, acting in a distinctly unpeaceful way.

Shame on them!

...so if EVERYONE were to convert to Islam, it COULD be a peaceful religion without any infidels to eliminate.

Uuuuuuuuuh...mebbe not, Doug. I would suggest probably not. How many Muslims have died - and continue to die - at the hands of other Muslims because they were/are members of the wrong sect, or whatever?

Killing people appears to be a cornerstone of that religion.

 

[Doug S.]

Right you are, Larry!

...infidels, infidels, infidels EVERYWHERE, even within the religion. MUST dispense with the infidels...they must do it right of DIE!! (...at least, that's' the word on the streets!)

Cheers!

Here's the source I forgot to post regarding Mr. Miliband. He apparently is quoted as saying that a future Labour Government is committed to outlaw the scourge of Islamophobia by changing the law and making it an aggravated crime.

Anyone got a spare corner of their garden for a slab of stone ?

That's a very good question Andrew.

What a waste of money anyway, but good business for the stonemasons.

That 'stone' (cement?) slab brings to mind something Gen. George S. Patton reportedly once said, which would, in a way, apply here: "Fortified positions are monuments to the stupidity of man." Slightly 'tweaked' to better fit this situation, that would be: 'Political promises set in stone are monuments to the narcissistic arrogance of overly presumptive politicians.'

Well...I guess that does go a wee bit beyond "tweaking", duzzunit...but, you get the idea.

It's terribly badly written with factual inaccuracies, and I'm certain it wasn't reported elsewhere. It feels like it was written by someone who's mother tongue is not English...

Anyway, he lost and so it's all bollocks.

What are the inaccuracies Keith? I've not seen the article disputed anywhere except your post indicating your confidence he didn't say it.

If Mr. Miliband was your guy, I certainly didn't intend to trespass on sacred ground but his (your??) Labour Party certainly hasn't gone away.

And it's certainly been reported elsewhere:

Hi Pat, yes it seems it was reported elsewhere, just not in the newspapers I read!

Factual inaccuracy: On the so-called Trojan Horse scandal that failed to find virtually any evidence of extremism or radicalisation, the Labour leader said the reality is that the “root of this problem lies in proper accountability in our schools.”

This is the agenda of several schools in the Midlands, that via the School Governor system, of inserting pro Muslim curricula instead of the standard secular system.

It was, and is still, a threat. It doesn't necessarily have to be radical or extreme to be a threat. That comes later...

The whole preposterous idea which and may just have lost him the election seemed to have been a last ditch attempt to garner Muslim votes. Thankfully, it didn't work.

However, sometime in the future, I can see the nation going down this road..

Mr Milliband is my guy like Benedict Arnold was America's friend...
