    i think it's an insult to the people of the town in england where the planes carrying the dead soldiers from Afghanistan land bringing them back to their families; the insult is that the Moslem's want to have a protest march against the english troops in afghanistan. they have a right to do their march but they are trying to make the insult as big as possible. they preach integration but this belies their preaching. fk em dont let them have their march.:mad:

    Thread in politics forum about this.

    No it's not an insult to English people, it's a protest against a pointless war

    Let them march and then as they parade up the street


    Bang, bang, bang........an airstrike.

    They'll not know what hit'm. besides the bombs


    Actually what I said above is quite mean. Maybe a little water thrown on them will do

    But then the water will freeze muahhaaaaaaa

    Who are the Moslems ?
    Are they Muslim Wombles ? At least they'll clean up after the protest.

    What the frick is a Moslem? and what the frick are you talking about?

    I think most people expect these topics to have a link to some source material. Or at least be somewhat coherent.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,164 ✭✭✭seahorse


    No. I would say the British occupation of Muslim nations is considerably more insulting.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 861 ✭✭✭KeyLimePie


    it's not the moslems it's some moslems................

    A lot of people protest the war. It would be a bit off to do it while there are funerals going on though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 94 ✭✭quinnie123ie


    why is "Irish Paddy" concerned what the English think? In my opinion i was insulted by English People refering to me as 'Paddy' when i was there ... Let the Moslems do their thing... why should the english be allowed land their army planes and march their 'decorated' dead up and down the 'moslem' streets in the UK... multi-cultural my @55!

    You were nearly funny there. Moslem is an acceptable spelling of Muslim.

    I agree with the OP. It is an insult, and is the testing of the tolerance of English society in a very distateful fashion.

    How about we march the English and American dead along the route to Mecca?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    They are spitting on the deceased who died for their country. Most Muslims get easily offended if any negativity is thrown in their direction. This particular Muslim is no more than a scumbag.

    Who is this you are refering to?

    Islam4UK are a bunch of extreme fundamentalists.

    Islam4UK != "all muslims".

    Distasteful and downright stupid. Surely they know they are delivering Christmas, Easter and everything else in one go to the BNP? But then, they quite possibly do.

    There is a near universal tradition in any kind of conflict that respect be shown to the soldiers on either side who have fallen. That the names Fred Phelps and Micheal Stone come to mind when I consider those who baulk at this tradition doesn't reflect well on those that organised this protest.

    Not according to Wiki.
    So the OP has insulted the Muslims with his spelling and us with his punctuation.
    Wiki wrote:
    The ordinary word in English is "Muslim", pronounced /'mʊs.lɪm/ or /'mʌz.ləm/. The word is pronounced /'mʊslɪm/ in Arabic. It is sometimes transliterated "Moslem", an older, possibly Persian-based spelling, which some regard as offensive.

    They died in the name of their rulers, most English people I know are completely against British occupation of Afghanistan

    To say they died for their country romanticizes the whole thing.. would they have died if no British soldiers were sent their in the first place, or would their 'freedoms and liberties' be endangered?

    Sounds a bit American to me

    Hardly the point of the topic?

    Most English and Welsh I know fully support it. We must move in different circles. You are getting onto the subject of why the invasion happened, which is off topic.

    Do you agree or not that it is insulting to the dead soldiers?

    I don't agree that it is an insult. If it was a group of English anti-war protesters would it still be as big of an insult?

    I don't necessarily think that it's not distasteful to protest like that though

    And supporting a war is supporting the death of young soldiers.. so it's vaguely hypocritical to lambaste those that want to prolong the lives of the people been protected by those who got them killed in the first place

    I think you miss the point. It is the location of the protest and not the fact of it than some find objectionable.
    And supporting a war is supporting the death of young soldiers
    Happily such quaint hippy notions weren't widespread in the Europe of the 1930s. :rolleyes:

    Obviously it's there right to protest, but to act like this isn't an intentional attempt at provocation by those doing the protesting is to put one's head in the sand simply because you disagree with the Iraq War.

    One can see this possbily ending in violence, something that will be partially on the heads of those who organised and partake in the march.
