If you read the testimony in court of the Bolton plotters this is their own words ?Terrorism is our Religion?. I posted their words on Facebook and my post was deleted. Add to that SEPARATE Muslim schools with segregated ***es and if that does not worry you I reckon you are standing in the middle of railway tracks with a locomotive bearing down on you at full speed with horn blaring. Yes there are plenty of good Muslims and yes some Christians and Jews who are not but Islam is an ideology that is a direct threat to democratic values. You may not agree with that but you must also concede people should have the right to criticise Islam. Labour want to now ringfence Islam with a blasphemy law that will certainly be used to shut down legitimate debate. Certain Muslim pressure groups are already complaining the Rape Gangs enquiry and reporting of its findings are racist.
Well said outwood. The problem these days is that 'they' (whoever 'they' are) feel a need to label everyone and this is very prevalent in the political domain where they try to protect 'their interests' by labelling those who conform or do not conform.
As a Veteran, head of a 'Service' family and involved in the Armed Forces Community as a Voluntary caseworker, I have friends of all races, religions, colours, gender, monarchists, republicans etc., etc. all over the world, however, the way that the UK has been going for quite a number of years is worrying because there is a lack of respect for our country and its laws.
