That's okay, here's £3,000 for offending you.

jennyjoan - // b - would you believe I haven't read one post except the last perhaps 10 - all I know - Muslim, not shaking hand keeps irritating me in the latest posts. That's it. //

If it irritates you, why not ignore it?

Why, instead, are you perpetuating it?

[andy-hughes]

I appreciate that the nature of threads is that they wander here and there as people bring in different aspects and points, but here we are, heading for four hundred posts, and this is about as far away from the original point as it's possible to get!

I think it has given everyone who thinks that Muslims are the spawn of the devil, intent on taking over the world and murdering us in our beds - and everyone else who thinks that is bananas, and people should just calm down and take an objective look at what is really going on, a chance to really get their views expressed, argued with, dismissed, or supported.

So, starting Monday, why don't we aim for an entire week on the AB where Islam is not mentioned or argued over.

What do you think are the chances?

''why don't we aim for an entire week on the AB where Islam is not mentioned or argued over.''

Shake hands and make up kinda thing?

What do you think are the chances?

Two chances, no chance and a dogs chance.

This thread was a gift for abers to repeat, repeat and repeat again their views on muslims, not terrorists , Muslims .!!!

[sanmac]

And any muslim mucky-muck reading this thread is gloatingly wringing his hands and murmuring "Jolly good, we've got the accursed infidels fighting amongst themselves. Keep in mind, my brothers, one erosive step at a time. However, we must must punctuate our mission at times with the occasional blowing up of things and driving vehicles into random crowds. Also, those of you who are in still in the background and are not yet militant, your prayers and support are most welcome."

Sanmac, another way of asking the question of the Islamopanderers is "how many more of your sacred principles are you willing to concede to keep in with your current "allies" and your aspiring masters?

Body shaming ads on London tubes out. OK? Tick.
Polygamy OK? Tick.Mass rape OK? Tick.
No pork in schools? Tick.
No promulgation of trans/qwertyuiop and gender reassignment indoctrination to six yeare olds? Tick.

(Hang about. I agree with the last bit. Muslims have got that bit right. Will convert. VE will reappear on AB with an Arabic equivalent of "well past it, isn't life a ***".

Further to my earlier post which went without comment; Douglas Murray now informs us that Yesterday, the BBC revealed that they had got hold of a tape recording from a mosque in Didsbury. Not any old mosque, but the mosque that the Manchester Arena bomber – Salman Abedi – attended. The recording is from Friday prayers at the Didsbury mosque just six months before the Ariana Grande concert bombing.

It is possible, indeed likely, that the bomber who killed 22 people and gave lifelong injuries to many more was sitting in the congregation during this sermon. Abedi apparently bought a ticket for the Manchester Arena concert just 10 days after the sermon was given. In it the imam; Mustafa Graf, prays for the ‘victory’ of ‘our brothers and sisters right now in Aleppo and Syria and Iraq’ and clearly calls on his listeners to stop using just words and commit to action in the name of what two Muslim scholars who have listened to the tapes confirm to be ‘military jihad’.

Refusal to shake hands is the perhaps the least important aspect of our new so-called multicultural society.

" this is obviously a balance of probabilities - erm nearer 2:98 than 50:50"

andy-hughes to jennyjoan, //If it irritates you, why not ignore it?

Same question to you. No one else need be roped into your suggested week-long embargo.

//….Muslims are the spawn of the devil, intent on taking over the world and murdering us in our beds//

No one has said that. Careful….you’ll be scaring yourself.

Khandro, Abdurahman Kaabar, a friend of Manchester bomber Salman Abedi, and Badroddin Kazkaz, both from Sheffield have just been convicted of funding terrorism. Tip of the iceberg.

How will you do that, didn't you say:

/// The post, Jenny Joan, is about the ancient custom of shaking hands. It's usually attributed to strangers meeting and extending their right hands toward each to mprove they are unarmed. ///

/// A symbol, therefore, of trust, good will and mutual respect. ///

I can see now why hand shaking could be a bit of a problem in the Islamic world.

Shall we leave that up to Islam, it will be difficult, because most of us know that Islam keeps on giving.

Idealistic notions like that are only viable if everyone else wants the same changes.
