Bbc & Muslim Council Very Quick To State Islamiphobia

[dieseldick]

listening to news this last 30 minutes or so, bbc news have been very quick to state that this was an islamaphobic attack ( finsbury park mosque )
the word islamaphobia has been used every single minute, hate attack , white , direct attack on muslims.


what about the many knife , machete and axe attacks carried out, not to mention the jihadi rapes against our children by " muslim men " against white europeans ?

I do prefer your predecessor

actually, the last Ed had one strict rule: don't diss the Ed.

I miss that.

Tit for tat killings are an unwelcome development, but not entirely unexpected. After the killing of Lee Rigby, many mosques were attacked.

I doubt this attack is part of an organised campaign of terror like the fanatical Islamic attacks in Manchester and London. I expect it to be an invividual with sympathies to the far right, who will turn out to be not very bright. I wouldn't be surprised if he has previous convictions for hooliganism.

But Islamaphobic is entirely the correct term for someone attacking strangers just because of their religion.

// but... why have we not seen reporting on muslim men killing white christian europeans , " muslim " rape gangs raping white european children in uk and sweden //

Obviously Rochdale and Rotherham have been widely reported. You cannot say they have not been reported on or hidden.

That's easy: they weren't caused by islamophobia, that's why

//Rochdale and Rotherham have been widely reported.//

Well, Gromit, only two in your book. Not every major conurbation with a mosque and a Labour council, then?

Read Andrew Norfolk's investigation?

[jackthehat]

Look like this is the only 'terrorist attack' ISIS aren't eager to claim any credit for...

[vetuste_ennemi]

Quick off the blocks there, JacktheHat.

[ummmm]

DD...I'm not excusing anything.

[murraymints]

these folk are criminals..murderers irrespective of faith...

[Gromit]

// Well, Gromit, only two in your book. //

Don't be more of a prat than usual VE. Just because I gave 2 examples does not mean I do not know there were others.

Your claim that every major conurbation with a mosque has had muslim rape gangs grooming our children is of course a gross over exaggeration. It is a genuine concern that needs addressing by the Pakistani communities, but over stating the crime does nothing for the truth.

...ps..I luvs ya ED xx

//...every major conurbation with a mosque has had muslim rape gangs grooming our children is of course ...gross//

Forgive the editorialisation, Gromit.

No exaggeration.

By the way "Pakistani" is not the common theme. In Bristol the gangs were mainly not "Asian" but "African". Somali, perhaps?

Gromit, //I expect it to be an invividual with sympathies to the far right//

Why? It could be someone with no affiliation to right or left who who’s just sick of the slaughter committed by the farthest right that it's possible to be - radical Islam.

//But Islamaphobic is entirely the correct term for someone attacking strangers just because of their religion. //

No it isn't simply a term for someone attacking strangers - it applies solely to attacks - or even to perceived attacks - against Islam. No other strangers involved.

ED
" I am not sure about your OP Dick.

Do you mean to say that attacks on muslims for being muslim shouldn't be classed as islamaphobia?

Or that you want a word like it for the attacks on non-muslims by muslim extremists/terrorists? "

the post is very clear to me. again, the bbc and world media are very very quick to state terrorist attack , very quick to get the words extremist & far right broadcasted. when we all know that the same news was very slow to name the many many previous terror attacks as being committed by " muslims "

then just now i hear some wan***r on the radio talking about far right extremists such as tommy robinson, how to hell is tommy robinson " far right " so now we are classed as far right for opposing only islam even though we have many black, chines , asian, indian friends ?

what complete & utter BS nonsense !!!!

[ToraToraTora]

well if it's islamophobia then I assume that the countless acts of Islamic terrorism are infidelophobia.

Cheers for your clarification, Dick. It honestly wasn't entirely obvious to me what you were getting at.
