In view of the terrorist attacks inflicted upon the British people in the name of Islam, have we every right to show fear, hated and prejudice against the Islamic religion?

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.

And nobody to speak up for the ABers,
Unless we all open our eyes,
And see the danger before us.
Pixie, //Just to get the genuine causes...//

There is only one genuine cause and I’ve given it to you.

If google is shy for you, it follows that it’s shy for the rest of us so asking the same question over and over is pointless. We don’t know.

maggiebee, //The majority take no part in it.//

We know, It’s already been said.
Just emphasising the point Naomi - sorry if it offends you
Statistics would not change my mind one bit. I am prejudiced against all Muslims and although I would never be openly rude to them will always feel uneasy around them. I am not apologising for how I feel, nor trying to convert anyone to my thought processes and neither am I condemning anyone who does not believe the same as me. This thread is not about psychology Pixie - where on earth did you get that from ?
I don't know if it has been discussed already, but it seems logical to me that radical Islamists are desperate to promote Islamophobia amongst the general population. The more Muslims have to face abuse and provocation from others, the easier it is to radicalise them.

By showing hatred or distrust to Muslims we are helping the terrorists.
30,000+ are on terrorist watch lists, so about 1% of their population, pixie. Don't see what difference it makes to be honest.
maggiebee, no need to apologise.
I noticed Andy got his dig in implying racism towards me.
Andy, you are a very shallow man, and that is not abuse, just simple observation based on the experiences of reading your desperate posts.
Desperate to promote yourself at my expense.
Why not give it a rest mate? Take a chill pill?
I applaud Naomi's common sense comments about this very serious threat to our nation.
I find it hard to believe that the Muslim groups that go out and feed our homeless (in my town anyway) secretly want to kill us and take over.
Reading some of the posts on here from Islamophiles, reminds me of Neville Chamberlain stepping off the plane in 1938, waving his bit of paper and announcing, "Peace for our time."
Well that went down well didn't it?
Ummmm - Tommy Robinson himself praises the many fine Muslims he knew in Luton, along with his friends and acquaintances from many diverse nationalities.
The issue is for sure a minority of Islamists, but that minority is a huge number, and enjoy the quiescent approval of many more.
Pixie, no one said they secretly want to kill us. They don’t. They want us to become Muslim - all of us.
Theland - // I noticed Andy got his dig in implying racism towards me. //

Racism is about race, this is about religion, so any inferred 'racism' is in your imagination, as usual/

// Andy, you are a very shallow man, and that is not abuse, just simple observation based on the experiences of reading your desperate posts. //

I think it is abuse, and i take it as such. Don't try and be rude, and then pretend you are not being rude - enough people have told you on your mealy-mouthed "What me? Rude???" thread, that are you rude, regularly, but as usual, you avoid proper debate there as you do here.

// Desperate to promote yourself at my expense. //

Don't flatter yourself! Your egotism is not Christian, your God would not approve of your arrogance.

// Why not give it a rest mate? Take a chill pill? //

Why not answer my question 'mate'? Try the courage of your convictions, about your 'white tribe'.

Theland - // Reading some of the posts on here from Islamophiles, reminds me of Neville Chamberlain stepping off the plane in 1938, waving his bit of paper and announcing, "Peace for our time."

Reading your posts on here reminds me that you have a shaky grasp of history, and how to apply it to a debate to bolster your even shakier arguments.
Theland - // I applaud Naomi's common sense comments about this very serious threat to our nation. //

I doubt anyone is shocked by that - but I equally doubt that anyone other than Naomi and yourself actually believe in the 'serious threat' that you bang on about.

Don't worry, surely your God will save you from the heathen influence?
The rise of islam is a very real serious threat to our country.
It doesn't help, spice, without the other answer. Anyway thanks all for trying xx
I posted a correction to my earlier post. It was to ummmm, not pixie, but goodness knows where it is. In the wrong section probably. That’s what comes of posting on a phone!!
Actually pixie, being unable to obtain statistics that appear to be unavailable is a pretty limp excuse for dismissing everything that’s been said.
