Tommy Robinson has had his facebook and instagram account terminated. Facebook says he has continually violated its community standards with hate speech against Muslims.

Is you use social media in ways that violate their policies around organised hate then surely you're a bad person?

"what changes? "

Society an cultural relevance.

[agchristie]

So Muslims interpret the Koran differently according to geography,pray differently,interact differently?

It's a nonsense Spath.

[spathiphyllum]

not according to geography... According to their personal perception and surroundings.


If you were in the middle of a field, and saw a sign that said the key to success, you may think of it as a kind of metaphor, if you were trapped in a cell and saw the sign, you'd take it more literally.

Spath, //You must admit Muslims living in Syria will consider "norms" differently to Muslims living in say, Leicester or Birmingham.//

Why must I when they don’t – and in reality can’t?

//"what changes? "

Society an cultural relevance.//

Nicely vague, Spath. I’ll ask again. What changes?

[spathiphyllum]

I think you're being deliberately obtuse.

[naomi24]

spath, //According to their personal perception //

What do you think their personal perception is?

[spathiphyllum]

I shouldn't have to try to explain how different people think differently and how not everyone's perception is the same, even if they're the same religion reading the same book.

[naomi24]

//I think you're being deliberately obtuse. //

I think you're speaking without thinking.

[naomi24]

spath, //I shouldn't have to try to explain how different people think differently and how not everyone's perception is the same, even if they're the same religion reading the same book. //

You've made unqualified statements. If you want to be taken seriously you should try to explain them.

[spathiphyllum]

I have done but your attitude is demeaning.

[douglas9401]

You're being played. Again.

[naomi24]

spath, No, you haven't - and this isn't about me so that old chestnut isn't going to work. When Muslims come here from other countries, tell me how they change?

[agchristie]

Assumptions and presumptions have often got in the way of hard facts on this thread Naomi

[naomi24]

Indeed ag. Unfortunately wanting it to be so doesn't make it so.

[spathiphyllum]

I've answered enough of your questions so you tell me,

When Muslims come here from other countries, tell me how they stay the same?

[naomi24]

Spath, you've answered none of my questions and you can’t qualify your claim. Okay.

[spathiphyllum]

How your environment can shape your thoughts, mood and personality

I wonder how a war zone such as Syria would compare to a 1st world country's city such as Leicester...

[naomi24]

:o/

[spathiphyllum]

There are more integrated Muslims in the UK than not.

[naomi24]

Righto.
