Topics have been about the pigs IS, the pedos in the likes of Rotherham, Lee Rigby, may people around the world getting murdered / beheaded by these pigs, as much as some on here may think of my views, I do not pussy foot, but surely the Muslims if any that come on here must feel shame, sorrow, ashamed to be of that religion, surely they can do something to stop these evil acts? you can get a bad egg out of a Doz, but the amount of evil caused by these people must / can / be sorted out by these people & not by the likes of UK Government. I have / you have heard some of them say we will do this / that but still the evil occurs, one way or another they must be funded by someone, to my way of thinking, try and stop the funding, they will feel the result, Eg/ how many of us use their Taxi services? a lot Imagine, how many use their eating houses? one ell of a lot, when you have a quiet moment just think what the likes of Lee Rigby's family are / have been going through, maybe that will make them think, it may make you decide! decide what? decide not to fund them.

TWR,may I make a point here that really bothers me?

Your repeated use of the word 'Pigs' - I have held back till now but this is Chatterbank.

[andy-hughes]

If I thought for one moment that eating houses and taxi services were populated entirely by IS supporters, I would abandon both today.

But since the Muslim population of the UK is like the Christian population - millions of perfectly normal people going about their daily lives causing no trouble to anyone - and a few thousand head cases who want to wreak terror and havoc all over the place -

I find that such a gesture would not only be futile - it would be mis-directed.

Unless you are going to assume that all UK Muslim are IS supporters - and I don't - then you punish the innocent along with the guilty.

What's the good of that?

[sandyRoe]

Would you want to tar all British Muslims with the same brush?
The funding from ISIS comes from a number of sources. These include wealthy oil states in the Gulf, the sale of oil in the lands they occupy, and the sale of artifacts looted from museums and archaeological sites.
I can't see your taxi driver or kebab seller making donations to them.

Priceless! Not going for a curry and not getting a taxi home afterwards is going to make all the difference is it?

[B00]

I consider myself a christian, but in no way do I associate myself with the many,many, many groups which preach hate in the name of my faith and in no way do i feel shame when they spout their gobs off or worse for what they believe.

Why should any normal Muslim feel the same about the nutters within their faith?

And lets not get into what some nuns and catholic priests do undercover of their religion either!

[EcclesCake]

I'm in agreement with Mamya about the repeated use of the word 'pigs'.

[andy-hughes]

Well said Boo - a fine post!

[dunnitall]

An insult IMO to the poor animals (pigs) to liken them with those from IS etc!

[TWR]

I can not find a decent word that can describe these vermin, so if offence is taken, I will retract the future use of the word, & I apologise.

[Mamyalynne]

Thank you.

To return to the greater point,no larger group of people should shoulder the sins of the bad within them - as stated the Catholic Church ( amongst others) have a bad press, I as an RC born and bred take no responsibility for their actions.

I feel disgust yes but no part in what they do.

Living in a gritty northern town, I can well imagine me demanding a'Non Muslim' Taxi driver - my limited escape from being housebound would be complete and achieve nothing and alienate me from many lovely people I chat with regularly.

[Sqad]

\\ so if offence is taken, I will retract the future use of the word, & I apologise\\\

Oi! o1!........don't you dare back down and there is certainly no need to apologise............a "pig" can be the description of an unpleasant person....it was commonly used back in the post WW2 era.

[Mamyalynne]

Not everyone had access to a Thesaurus 70 years ago did they.

[TWR]

I repeat Sqad, I do not want to upset members with my wording ( I know it's not the best) I will not use the word again.

[Sqad]

^^^^Mamy

Yes, of course they did.

Try Googling the definition of a pig today 2015.

[Sqad]

TWR ^^^ oh! dear oh! dear.

[Mamyalynne]

I realise it can and is listed as a word with that definition , just feel it is wasted and spoils what may otherwise be a reasoned debate.


TWR, use the words you prefer and I shall refrain from commenting,maybe my love of the language makes me too critical.

[TWR]

Well Sqad, I get enough stick regards my views / comments, it was the way I felt regards these evil vermin, retraction of the word is the easiest.

[Mamyalynne]

I hope that apart from disrupting your thread I have made my point - do I have an answer to how to solve the problems - absolutely not.

[TWR]

Mam, the last thing I want to do here is upset people, It's just the way I felt about these Scum of the earth x

[Mamyalynne]

I understand.
