    How are you showing me the "majority of the ones"? You are showing what a few idiots on a forum think. Are you saying that the comments in AH are a positive reflection of Irish society?

    I am showing you most Muslim's on most muslim boards hold these views, answer my questions please, why are the more extreme view's so over represented in the online muslim community? where are the moderates? and yes reading AH would tell you a lot about wider irish society, for example if I posted that thread I linked from that muslim forum about 60 ways to keep your man happy I would soon learn by the replys that women had a lot more respect and equality in irish society!

    I scanned it. A majority of abhorrent views should be easy enough to discern. If it took two days to form a judgement, it doesn't sound like you found any sort of majority of those views either.

    So in your world scanning it will form a more reasonable view than reading it in depth? what about the threads I have already linked?

    According to you the majority of posters are posting radical views. A scan of the site and randomly clicking into threads and posts shows this to be untrue. I have opened about 40 posts and have come across one that i would consider to be meh at best.

    Scanning it for 'a majority of abhorrent views' should be more sufficient. If you're arguing that filtering through, seeking out a minority of posts that you don't like equates to a majority view of that forum/community, then you're being disingenuous.

    then you and alastair are not doing it right! I will try to explain, if I say "most people on that forum hold radical views" and you read it and only see threads about "what isp do you use" or "favourite brand of chocolate" then you have not disproved my assertion, you may have proved that most threads are not about a controversial topic but even if there are ten treads about "what oil for my car" what if there is one about "should people who leave our religion be executed" and most of the people who also posted in the mundane threads mostly agree that they should be executed then yes most people in that forum hold radical views, do you understand?

    Ah right. So, rather than reading abhorrent views into the actual content of the site, you've instead employed some manner of alternative measure? Where's this thread where the majority of posters on the forum agree with the execution of apostates?

    So to save us a couple of days reading you should be able to easily point us to this thread where the majority of posters on that site post messages condoning the murder of all non Muslims.

    that was an example, here are a few threads that I feel show a majority of radical views

    http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthread.php?417642-Reporting-Muslim-children-and-family-to-the-Home-Office
    someone asking if a muslim family who smuggled children into the country should be reported, more say no with reasoning like
    "You're thinking of betrying muslims and breaking up a muslim family, and possibly sending the children to be raised by kuffar? breaking the laws of Allah is more desirable to you than breaking kaafir laws?

    And you think anyone here would approve of that? itaqillah and mind your own business."

    http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthread.php?417660-BREAKING-NEWS-Raqqa-Under-Bombardment-by-US-5-Arab-States

    interesting that the majority of Muslims in this thread are against airstikes on ISIS targets, a lot of anti West views espoused also.

    http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthread.php?407106-Refuting-the-Why-arent-the-mujahideen-fighting-the-jews-logic&highlight=apostates

    Again - no evidence of a majority view in any of those. As I say - you're filtering through looking for posts that are objectionable, and ignoring the fact that they represent only a small minority on that forum (let alone the entire religion).

    btw- I suspect that if you asked an Irish forum what you should do about an Irish illegal immigrant / non-documented family in the US, you wouldn't get too many advocates of reporting them to the authorities.

    man, you don't seem to get it, ill try and explain again, I said that the majority of people on that forum had views that we in the west could not reconcile, I did not say most threads are radical, again say nine out of ten threads are about favourite ice cream flavour etc and one out ten was about how to deal with apostates now say that the majority of people who replied to the ice cream threads also posted in the apostates thread that they believed the punishment for changing religion should be death then would you not agree that most people on that forum had radical views? If storm front had more fluff threads about favourite ice cream or Internet provider than "I hate black people" would you argue that the site was not mostly an intolerant sh1t hole?

    also, did you not read my post correctly? Your analogy makes no sense, it wasn't just an illegal family, they smuggled children that were not theirs into the UK, and most were against reporting incase the children went to infidels ffs I would imagine most irish people would have a problem with that!

    Actually you said that:
    most Muslim's on the site relish the prospect of killing the non believers
    and that they held
    majority views that most western people would find abhorrent
    Now - you've certainly not demonstrated that in your presentation of the threads on that forum. Which tbh - isn't very surprising.

    Ice cream aside, you haven't shown that any sort of majority on that forum favour death for apostates. You've shown that a few posters within a much larger cohort of forum poster believe so, and that this, in the broader community of muslims, becomes a much smaller minority. If you want to prove a point that this forum has a minority of bigoted posters, then job well done, but you didn't have to venture far to find the same sort of minority bigotry evident in forums, populated with a majority who don't share those views.

    The post made clear the children were family members. Most posters were not against reporting in case they were taken into non-muslim care - there was one singular poster raised that as a concern. One. :rolleyes:

    "Islam is a complete way of life and a perfect system. Why should it try to integrate into something which is imperfect and speaks for itself that it isnt working. There is no compromise is our deen, the truth never needs to compromise.

    Islam cannot integrate with the west, islam is a fundimentally opossed to most things western."



    "It should be the morally corrupt west that should integrate with Islam!"



    "It's your call sitar, if you want to make the priciples of the kuffar your primary principles and sharia your secondary principle then don't preach this as islam becasue this is NOT islam. Islam is simple and starightforward but when muslims get fooled by the kuffar propaganda they start portaryaing things which are completley against islam as islam.

    And what is this about hating the west and still living there? This argument seems to be used by kuffar more and more recently. There ar so many answers to this where do you even want me to start. Heres a few

    1:Where do you want us to migrate to, there is no khilafah inn the world today

    2: for those that are plannign migration somewhere, it's not a simple matter that you pack your bags and leave all your family here, it needs time and planning and for all you know the person you criticise could be in the process of planning and preparing for migration.

    3: Live here to detroy the west from within, no doubt there are many muslims doing this

    4: work here and avoid taxes as much as you can and send as much money as u can to mujahideen, becasue the money here as far greaer value than the rupees and dinars of muslim lands

    5: Do dawah to the kuffar"

    I'd have said you found it rather more confusing than enlightening, because you managed to come away completely misrepresenting the place.

    And in terms of muslims will never integrate into the west? Doesn't tally in my experience. Worked for a muslim boss for a few years, worked with muslim co-workers. Not a sniff of anyone trying to behead me, rape anyone in the workplace, or sign up for jihad anywhere. Very much a let-down on the whole hate-the-kuffar front.

    I was talking to one my Muslim friends a few minutes ago and mentioned what you said earlier about him and all other Muslims wanting to kill me. He left my home 10 minutes later still laughing. If nothing else you made a loving family guy very happy tonight.

    You are using figures from different polls, the demos one has a sample size of 42 muslims ffs.


    36% of 16 to 24-year-olds believe if a Muslim converts to another religion they should be punished by death, compared with 19% of over-55s
