Now there's a surprise, couldn't have anything to do with the the police having less chance of being accusing of institutional racism, could it?

Re-read your last post.

No-one seems to have considered the obvious - these ARE all Muslims IN DISGUISE!

[jno]

true, bainbrig, they could be, so to speak, whited sepulchres.

[bainbrig]

They’re really cunning, aren’t they?

[-Talbot-]

It's a fact that the terrorist is far more likely to be a Muslim rather than an Asian....so why highlight 'Asian'?

[THECORBYLOON]

TALBOT, some folk may ask, "Aren't you driving to the party?" I and many others would ask, "Are you not driving to the party?"

ANOTHEOLDGIT thinks that Asian is used rather than Muslim. By that reasoning, are all the white folk not Christians? You may have expressed it as, "Aren't all the white folk Christian?"

I hope that clears it up.

[THECORBYLOON]

TALBOT, if folk are to be identified as Muslims, Christians and members of other religions need to identified.

On this occasion, I think AOG is correct.


White suspects accounted for 38 per cent of terror-related arrests, followed by those of Asian appearance on 37 per cent and black suspects on 9 per cent.


If you go by the above figures black people are proportionately more likely to be a terrorist. Not something I would have thought to be true.

[jackthehat]

No.

[-Talbot-]

Actually, Asians would still top the list (not as many as I thought)

But the one thing that stands out for me isn't that the perpetrators of recent atrocities are Asian...it is that they are Muslim.

I have no idea why anyone should have trouble with pointing that out.

I'm not quite sure what colour of skin or race has to do with terrorism figures, why even log it and mention it unless you have an agenda?

Islam is a religion, people of all races and colours worship under it, just like all races and religions can belong to left or right extremist groups that operate terror.

It's a nonsence statistic.

Seems we'll have to simplify our language for Lefty. (they're none too swift, you know)
Anyway, talking of Tibet, the Dalai Lama has a message for you all.
"Europe for the Europeans. Refugees go home".

It could also mean that the security forces are spending more of their time seeking out white people than they are others.

[Zacs-Master]

Do you really think that’s likely?

[sp1814]

AOG

Are you saying that there could possibility be extenuating factors behind these arrest figures?

Factors that may not be under the control of those detained?

That the police and security services have an agenda which runs counter to us being kept safe?

If these people are arrested, then who cares what the colour of their skin is?

I’m sure that if I were to be caught up in an incident, my first thoughts would not be concerning the racial background of the perpetrator.

If white terrorists are being arrested, so what?

[sp1814]

Addendum...suspected.

[youngmafbog]

"It could also mean that the security forces are spending more of their time seeking out white people than they are others."

Could mean anything, perhaps white terrorists ar easier to catch?

Like I say it is a nonsence statistic but what I am suspect of is the motive for releasing it. A terrorist is a terrist and all should be banged up or swing from a rope regardless of race or creed.

Are you not happy that white terrorists are being investigated, ANOTHEOLDGIT?

Don't talk ridiculous, I was just using the same tactics that others have used over the stop and searches, didn't they manage to get the stop and searches reduced in numbers?
