[Kromovaracun]

I've just seen a Tweet from Darshna Soni at C4 news:

"I have just spoken a mosque in Essex, who told me congregation was attacked by man in apparent "revenge" for Woolwich. More details to come."

I can't really think of a question, sorry. It just seems topical, and if more info comes out about it I figured it might be interesting to discuss.

The ever helpful EDL

// Scores of supporters of the English Defence League threw bottles at police and chanted anti-Muslim slogans in Woolwich hours after the murder of one man and the shooting of his two suspected assailants.

About 100 men, including some wearing balaclavas printed with "EDL", engaged in running battles with police for less than an hour.

A police commander said officers cited section 60 of the Public Order Act, which allowed them to stop and search individuals within a specific area without evidence of a crime being committed.

EDL leader Tommy Robinson said: "They've cut off one of our army's heads off on the streets of London.

The men congregated near Woolwich Arsenal station with flags bearing the cross of St George after plans for a protest were circulated on social media. Hundreds of police including riot police were stationed around Woolwich.

The first clashed began just after ten before the men were pursued and blocked in at a pub close to a local mosque. //

they are not helpful i agree, however this is a savage murder committed by two men on a defenceless bloke, their shouts of Allah is great and more besides. i did watch the footage last evening as the story broke, with absolute shock and horror. Yet another attack on our streets, i wondered when this would happen, almost since the last outrage of the bus and tube bombs.

[Gromit]

Curiously, they also quoted Matthew 5:38.

[emmie]

so what, they could have been jedi knights as well, that doesn't stop one thinking they are barbaric savages.

[Gromit]

I never said it stopped them being barbaric. I just found it odd they used a bible quote rather than the similar Quranic one. Makes one also think they may be of low intelligence.

[emmie]

so low on intelligence they used a car as a battering ram to knock the block over, then used machetes to hack him to pieces. All the while in broad daylight, didn't run away, maybe they were waiting for the police to take them out, then become martyrs to their skewed cause.

The Qur'an mentions the "eye for an eye" concept as being ordained for the Children of Israel.[18] The principle of Lex talionis in Islam is Qasas (قصاص) as mentioned in (Qur'an 2:178) "O you who have believed, prescribed for you is legal retribution (Qasas) for those murdered - the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But whoever overlooks from his brother anything, then there should be a suitable follow-up and payment to him with good conduct. This is an alleviation from your Lord and a mercy. But whoever transgresses after that will have a painful punishment.". Some Muslim nations, still apply the rule, in accordance with the Mosaic Law. In some countries that use Islamic law (sharia), the "eye for an eye" rule is applied quite literally.[19][20]

“In the Torah We prescribed for them a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, an equal wound for a wound: if anyone forgoes this out of charity, it will serve as atonement for his bad deeds. Those who do not judge according to what God has revealed are doing grave wrong.” (Qurʾān 5:45)

[Gromit]

That is my point.

He did not say "eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear" he used the Jewish version also used in Matthew 5:38.

A fantatical muslim who quotes the Torah? A murderous dimwit more like.

[emmie]

no, Muslim fanatics on our streets. You keep on calling them stupid, like the men recently, who tried to bomb an EDL march, had they succeeded there would have been large loss of life and much injury. I will see no apology for these creatures, they are as Naomi says enemies of this country.

[daffy654]

Just because the two men who committed this atrocity are a bit dim it doesn't mean they are not also terrorists.

[emmie]

they are not dim, why would anyone think that. Some call EDL or BNP members stupid, dim, but as far as i can see they haven't killed anyone, planted bombs on our streets. whilst i despise them and their skewed beliefs i have no care for those who think that we are fair game.

/// 99% of the Muslim community are law abiding ///

Just out of curiosity, what was the source of this quote?

[tonyav]

Mmmmmm, the words of the late Enoc Powell come to mind.

[daisya]

That is what I thought tony...

[tonyav]

Remember the things that Enoc Powell was called for that 'Rivers Of Blood' speech, seems that he may well have been right !.

[emmie]

these words were from a journalist friend who had worked in the ME for many years, that the threat to world peace would be between the followers of Islam and the west. This was said to me at least 30 years ago, and i truly believe this will come about.

[daisya]

It looks like it is going that way em that's for sure.
