/// Muslim woman in hijab kicked backwards off a bus to the floor. "This isn’t b***** Africa," they said. ///

What a very strange thing for these thugs to say.

/// Officers have today released CCTV photographs of two female suspects, who were believed to be in their twenties, following the attack on October 28. ///

Why have the police taken so long to release the CCTV footage?

Naoni...it was a strange thing to say because its a racist insult, and thank goodness we haven't come to the stage where everybody in Britain thinks it OK to yell ignorant racists insults at people in public.

Would you have made the same comment if two women in hijabs had yelled the same at a solitary black woman ?

Would that be strange as well ?

[jackthehat]

I'm not claiming ignorance....I know *exactly* why AOG made that statement.
Of course there is racist behaviour perpetrated by ALL races/colours/creeds and, again, I can't see where anyone is arguing to the contrary on this thread...

/// Well, surely you find that acceptable?
Otherwise why would you have included it in your
OP? ///

Find what acceptable?

/// You could have posted the link to the article and allowed people to criticise these two thugs but you preferred to add in a comment which you knew would provoke the response you really wanted. ///

If I had posted just the link, I would have received the usual answer, "SO WHAT'S YOUR POINT".

The way I mostly like to construct my threads is by constructing a certain headline or inclusion so as to alert response and instil debate.

But they are simply just that, and for that purpose only, but they are not an excuse for those who wish to read into them something I have never said or suggested, just so some can shy away from addressing the news story up for discussion, and turning the thread into personal attacks at the messenger.

retrocop, it doesn't make me uncomfortable to acknowledge that these attackers were black. They were - but I don't believe it emanated from a 'black on black' issue but from what these people see happening in the world today.

[jackthehat]

AOG - you actually as one question in the OP...about the length of time the police took to release the cctv.

But that's not what you really wanted to discuss, is it?

[naomi24]

Mikey, AOG has an agenda here. You must have missed it.

[mikey4444]

Naomi...of course he has an agenda !..when has he not had an agenda ?

[naomi24]

Mikey, in that case your little flurry at 13:02 makes no sense.

Well I have got up to

//I can't be held responsible for every ABers mind set, but I admit it must be a tough one for some, here we have a case that shows two black people in a bad light by attacking one of their Muslim friends.//


Now I must admit I have not read all the link (no time yet) ... but how do we know these two black women are Muslims or even friends of Muslims?

Or is it fact that if you're black you're a friend of Muslims because ... well just because?

AOG, //they themselves are black, so presumable their ancestors came from Africa, so what right had those two to tell their victim to go back to Africa. //

/// You appear to think that regardless of their ancestry, because these people are black they don't belong here and therefore they had no right to tell this woman to go back to where she came from. That's the long and short of it. ///

what are you on today, or are you just being *** minded?

How on earth can you reason all that from what I put?

I notice that you started off by saying "You appear to think" so straight away you have that wrong, it is you and you alone that 'APPEARS TO THINK'.

So we can now take it that this is what you think, and in the few words that I have put, no where does it suggest that is what I am thinking.

But if you still have those twisted thought going around in your head, this is precisely what I was referring to.

Being black themselves don't you think it was ironic for these two thugs to infer that their victim should go back to Africa, you see it is them saying that not me.

I am now rather fed-up and bored trying to defend things that I have never said or suggested, so I won't be trying any longer, except to say please question your own false interpretations before accusing me of either actually saying or suggesting them.

[naomi24]

-Talbot-, //....by attacking one of their Muslim friends.//

Another curious statement. I really don't these people were her friends.

[retrocop]

Any how. I really hope these black vile alley cats get apprehended, given a custodial sentence and deported to the shores of Africa when they finish their sentence.
There we are back on track and now the heats on me. :-)

[naomi24]

AOG. You say that because they are black, presumably their ancestors came from Africa, and hence you question their 'right' to tell their victim to go back to Africa. f I'm wrong in me assessment of your post, would you please explain what you meant by that? Would someone whose roots weren't in Africa have greater right?

//what are you on today//

Since you're interested, I have a cup of tea at the moment.

[naomi24]

*If I'm wrong in my assessment ...*

Blimey, this tea must be strong stuff! ;o)

/// AOG - you actually as one question in the OP...about the length of time the police took to release the cctv. ///

Good job that I backed it up with a query then wasn't it, because I think the question has only been addressed once, yet look at my query, now past the half century.

/// But that's not what you really wanted to discuss, is it? ///

Well I think you have all chosen that, I have no control over what some think more important to discuss.

[Svejk]

'Friends' obviously referred to the 'AB friends of Islam' who are conflicted because they believe only white people do anything wrong. (well, that's how I read it)

[mikey4444]

AOG ...you hidden agenda was about as difficult to understand and as subtle as a horse breaking wind.

[anotheoldgit]

naomi24

/// Mikey, AOG has an agenda here. You must have missed it. ///

Since you have accuse me of having an agenda, please tell me what my agenda might be?

But then everyone on this site has one particular agenda, so it can't be a bad thing, take your mate Mikey we all know what his agenda is.

The one agenda that is hard to point one's finger at is your own, well we all know your feelings about Muslims and immigration, so taking your remarks on this thread alone it must be 'don't criticise black people', you couldn't possible posses the darker skin yourself could you Naomi?

[fiction-factory]

Is this footage different to that that was doing the rounds in OCtober when you posted this thread, AOG?

Lordy...that^ is insulting on so many levels, AOG.
