FAO sp1814

On Friday you posted a question to accuse Daily Mailers of spouting their usual Islamophobic rhetoric and somehow suggest that the contribution from Muslim and Commonwealth troops during the last two world wars isn't celebrated?

I don't know if you bothered to attend or even watch the Remembrance Service from Whitehall on Sunday morning? But if you had surely you could not have failed to notice the large amount of Commonwealth representatives, who attended and laid their wreaths.

Since your post was primarily set to state that the Commonwealths contribution was largely overlooked, can you now openly apologise for your error?

since sp1814's post was referring to this very service, he was hardly ignoring it. He appeared to be suggesting that it's not remembered on the other 364 days of the year. That seems correct.

Is this news?

//It's not remembered on the other 364 days a year//

Are you kidding?

It starts two weeks before and AOG is still going on about it the day after and probably will until the 24th of December.

I don't think he'll be happy until the country crawls on it's knee's to the cenotaph once a week publically wailing and beating itself with birch rods.

I guess it just shows what a heavy cross it must be to bear being a frustatrated wanna-be war hero!

Perhaps someone could apolgise to the Commonwealth troops who a little over twenty years after the war were described as "pickaninnies" fomenting "rivers of blood" in this country.

I have in the past had FAO posts aimed primary at me, and yet no one including yourself have queried the fact that they are not news questions.

Can we not loosely say that to sp1814 it is News?

Or can you suggest how can one post a reference to an old news question?

jake, I meant that the contribution of Commonwealth, and particularly Muslim, troops isn't remembered the other 364 days, as per sp1814's original thread.

Please feel free to accuse me of anything you like, (you normally do), but please get your facts right it was jno, defending sp1814 who said //It's not remembered on the other 364 days a year//.

And I was not going on about Remembrance Day 2 weeks before it started as you lyingly stated.

Also if I feel I have need to approach this subject again even until next Remembrance Day, I will, I won't ask you or any of your kind.

And don't you dare call me "a frustatrated (if you must use such a word please learn to spell it correctly) wanna-be war hero"

You wouldn't know what a hero was, the biggest risk you will ever take is trying to cross the road.

Thank you for posting a question directed at me. I feel honoured.

The point of my post on Friday was to point the finger at the dailymailers who (quite rightly) holler at every story involving black/Asian crime, but suddenly lose their voices when confronted by the heroism of the forefathers of the very same people.

It's an excellent opportunity to celebrate the very best of the Commonwealth nations and the loyalty they showed to Britain. I would've thought that you would have joined in with a bit of praise...rather than bringing up (quite disgracefully I might add), that some Muslims fought for the SS.

Tut tut...very cheap.

[sp1814]

However, you're correct in that the Commonwealth contribution IS celebrated and for this I apologize to whomsoever I've offended....but obviously NOT to the dailymailers...because they're not interested in any positive spin that can ever be ascribed to those of Commonwealth descent.

I mean - remember the stick that Sikh soldier came in for because he didn't remove his turban when he acted as a pallbearer for a fallen colleague?

I feel sorry for the fact that you still refuse to apologise to "The Daily Mailers", this is just your hatred for the paper and it's readers showing through.

You are a past master at ignoring positive things addressed by the DMers. I myself went to the trouble to research WW2 posters to prove the point that we did support commonwealth troops.

///.because they're not interested in any positive spin that can ever be ascribed to those of Commonwealth descent.///

This also is just a a figment of your imagination, that carries no substance whatsoever. I only post as I see it, for example, today I posted the sad news that a British couple on their honeymoon in South Africa had been attacked and the bride murdered.

The point that the couple were of Indian descent wasn't discussed, or any show of sympathy shown, only the fact that I dared to state that Africa was a dangerous place.

You are always ready to roll this chestnut out again and again. Well as I have said numerous times, it is our tradition to remove one's head dress in respect for the dead. Because he happened to be a Sikh he should not have been excused this tradition. Had the rolls been reversed and we were expected to respect a Sikh's tradition it would have been carried out with no objections.

Regarding the fact of some Moslem's who fought for Hitler's SS, this was not a lie but true, and if you had gathered such information to back up your argument you would not have failed to do so, just as you constantly attach the crime of paedophilia to whites.

[fredpuli47]

Was the removal of head-dress, to include the turban, a practice of Sikhs in the British army under the Raj, AOG ? What was the King's or Queen's Regulation, or other rule, which applied to it?

[sp1814]

AOG

Don't try to tell anyone that your post about the Indian couple was anything more than a thinly veiled dig at Africans.

Seriously - do you really think that anyone is fooled by your disingenuous posts?

Why do you think that so many people see through you?

I'm appalled in the way that you've lost the plot recently. You've suggested retiring your membership of AB. I don't think you should go that far - but you certainly need time off. Perhaps a holiday?

[sp1814]

By the way - the Sikh turban thing makes you sound foolish. I will try to explain this - a turban is not a hat. It's not a bowler. It's not a baseball cap.

Would you be disgusted at a Jew who didn't remove his skullcap in a church?

Come on - you really show yourself up when you post ill-thought out missives like that.

You need to get back on the ball. You're better than this.

Freoht for the S.S too, they helped defen Berlin to the bitter end, as did some Danes, Swedes and Norwegians, also the Lithuanians.
To deal with the Bosnian Liebstandarte, you have to look at Balkan history.
If you like I'll tell you about it, if you don't I won't, and you can wallow in ignorance.
