Do You Believe All Muslims Are Our Enemy?

[jake-the-peg]

I get the feeling quite a lot of people on here do just wondered how many

[naomi24]

hc4361, Plenty? You've mentioned two.

[RATTER15]

Mikey, read the question again, did you think everybody was going to love Muslims, I think the criticisms so far have shown the believers in a fairly good light, it is the faith that has come under fire, particularly by myself!

[jomifl]

Hc seems like a Mandy Rice Davis moment to me.

[naomi24]

Jom, Ha ha. Yes indeed.

@JTP

you posted the question, you define the parameters of "enemy"

[emmie]

if you check out and have time to watch a youtube piece i posted a little earlier, it was an interesting channel 4 debate on Freedom of speech and Islam, i have only watched half, its long, bit less than an hour, but worth a view.

[chrisgel]

hc4361 - You mentioned 3 people. That's not plenty is it and doesn't "They would say that" apply

[jim360]

It's dangerous to assume that you or anyone else knows what Muslims say to each other in private. More likely, like everyone else, they'll be fussing over the same day-to-day worries we have than secretly praising atrocities. I hope I'm right at least.

oh God answer prancer stop feeding the troll and or rattling the monkeys' cage.

Of course there are friendly musllims out there.

Bazzy Wazzie my dear wannabe fascist dictator, I wasn't TELLING you when to post! I was just wondering, don't wet your panties!

[arwyn]

jomifl 18.55 I agree with every word.

The truth is we will never know the true figures.

If anyone say yes to j-T-P's question would it be removed? If not my reply is yes..

[DaisyNonna]

No. Certainly not.

[bazwillrun]

"Bazzy Wazzie my dear wannabe fascist dictator, I wasn't TELLING you when to post! I was just wondering, don't wet your panties! "

is that the best you can come up with ? no racist or xenophobe, is facist dictator your new catchall ?

Pffffftttt.....

[bazwillrun]

"oh God answer prancer stop feeding the troll and or rattling the monkeys' cage. "

tut tut tut, fancy referring to monkeys, you'll be throwing virtual bananas next

[Answerprancer]

"is that the best you can come up with"
I wasn't attempting to "come up with" anything better, I've kind of given up trying to make sense out of you because you already seem decided where I sit socio-politically speaking.

[Answerprancer]

..btw well done for managing to leave *your* "catchall" out for once ("people of your ilk").

[Snafu03]

I beleive alot of Muslims, even moderate ones harbour allegiances and are sympathetic to a cause that are in direct conflict with non Muslims. Its only natural - but dangerous for the security of Great Britain.

Much like in 70s/80s with the IRA. Even though the small minority were actively involved in terrorism I suspect fellow Catholics wouldnt be likely to inform on their brothers.

[modeller]

Sorry to say this but I think it's a silly question because you know what the answer is bound to be.
However I wonder what you all think about the thousands of Muslims who jumped up and down with joy when the twin towers were destroyed and how the Lockebie bomber was feted when he returned to his own country. I could go on but you get the message. No I don't look upon ALL MUSLIMS AS OUR ENEMY but thousands are, and millions of them don't look upon us with friendly eyes.

Most Muslims are no different than us , that's the bottom line, but as long as they fail to speak out against their extremists they will be suspect in many peoples eyes.

[hc4361]

Some of you are deriding me for mentioning only two Muslims who speak out against atrocities in the name of Islam on a very prominent, mainstream perhaps middle class BBC Radio 2 programme.

I know lots of Muslims, personally and professionally, and have spoken to 7 today. All have condemned yesterday's murder, all are horrified and distressed. Some are genuinely fearful of reprisals from the likes of the EDL in the immediate aftermath, all are concerned about the effect on long term relations. None of them can relate to those two men who murdered the soldier, in the same way that I can't relate to EDL or BNP extremists even though I am a white Englishman, or rapists because I am a man.
