An old friend once told me about his father (a deeply, devout Muslim), who would refer to Islamists as asylum seekers.. Because there wasn't a country for them to go back to, and there was no other country with the kind of laws they wanted.. So they were stuck hereOriginally Posted by Tawi2
When Geert Wilders was in London last week there were a load of Muslims protesting shouting "Down with freedom"(the very same freedom that allowed them to protest)one of them was interviewed and openly proclaimed they wanted the UK to be an islamic state,most in the crowd looked pakistani in origin,I have been to Pakistan on several occassions(I even know a pinay who lives there)small wonder they want to come to the UK,the country is f***ed up,sexually repressed,poverty stricken
Bit like Pinas,the rich are mega-rich,the poor are supressed,woe betide us if we are ever under islamic rule
And to a point, he was right! One of the principles of the Islamist movement is the so called "Caliphate", or world wide Islamic state. Now, most Pakistani people would go to war against such an idea. The Turks... Apart from having a disdain for the Arabs, their army would turn that country into a new Beirut if Islamic dictatorship took over, a full scale civil war.. So the Islamist movement is simply a pipe dream. Only a very small minority would even consider it!
But again, our freedom of speech allows these hateful people to say what they want. And to that extent, I support them. Until they start calling for death to those who insult Islam. When I hear them giving out that kind of rant, even I want to call them out and draw their anger. But I think a line needs to be drawn somewhere, and it should be made very clear. If you think your religious beliefs allow you to preach hate and violence? Preach it in Prison! Coz that's where we would send you....
