Diversity??

[ToraToraTora]

Why is it that Muslims can throw a gay man off a building and the right on brigade do not bat an eyelid? If I use a less than PC term or dare to criticise a gay issue I am pilloried? You can throw gays off buildings just as long as you don't criticise gay marraige.

[jackthehat]

Apparently so...

[naomi24]

Indeed.

Tora Tora Tora. I am neither a leftie or a rightist. I simply ask you that when you address us all on here you will please use the Queen's English so that we can ALL understand what you are saying, it is to say the least getting a little tiresome trying to work out your abbreviations in order to follow your trend.

Lets tone the question down a bit then. As an example, self proclaimed anti-fascist groups in the UK use violence and other tactics to oppose reactionary groups like the EDL & Britain First etc but remain silent about ultra-right Islamic groups who overtly promote homophobia, sexism, anti-semiitsim and non-muslims & so on. Is this a case selective liberal bigotry ?

[ToraToraTora]

very snappy orderlimit! why not start another thread?

[Orderlimit]

I prob wouldn't get time to contribute Mr T, and then I would get sent to the naughty corner for something :)

'promote homophobia, sexism, anti-semitism and hatred against non-muslims & so on. Is this a case selective liberal bigotry ?

[Pete65]

Thank you, Jackthehat, for your explanation, at 10.00.

[ToraToraTora]

not so much liberal bigotry more selective acceptance. Liberals accept anything in Islam as normal but woe betide anyone else who steps off the thin PC line.

'Liberals accept anything in Islam as normal'
Do they? I hope you have some specific examples.

[Orderlimit]

It certainly seems that some sections of the left/liberals accept the above listed forms of hatred whereas it's a different story if certain other groups express them.

[ToraToraTora]

"'Liberals accept anything in Islam as normal'
Do they? I hope you have some specific examples. " - well of course they don't say so directly but they always interject with the excuses and ridicule those trying the fix the situation. Someone comes up with a story about some atrocity or other and rather than condemning it they try and make excuses." "it's there culture", "it's a minority", "their country their rules" yada yada yada. I will stop calling them F0D/J etc when they start condemning these evil low lives for what they are.

[Zacs-Master]

'well of course they don't say so directly'

Pah!

//no one has condemned the 99 deaths at Bataclan on AB //


I believe I did at 2101 last night on PiedPipers post in Society & Culture but it's hardly worth comment by some who hate to see the good name of Islam tarnished. :-(

[ummmm]

Retro...regardless of what you think of left wing posters...Islam does not have a good name to tarnish.

[retrocop]

Then there are some who think differently to both of us on here. :-)

I agree with TTT that there seems a selective acceptance by the left where Islam is involved. Why aren't the anti-racist campaigning as hard against their racist hatred of Jews or Gay rights groups campaigning against its homophobia. Surely liberal beliefs should be across the whole board and not accepted as religious freedoms.

[Peter Pedant]

retro I also raised the point somewhere that no one had condemned Bataclan but I also supposed no one really wished they had attended the concert

so I clicked on your link to see what you had said about it at 21 01 last night etc

and couldnt see anything - Ni liked your post at 21 31 on the link but that mentioned Bassingbourn in cambridgeshire where erm I dont think 99 people were shot

just a point
