    Your running away from the Elephant in the Room .

    A very large amount of the Homophobia in Britain is from the Islamic Community .

    When that Elephant knocks you down then maybe you will have to face it .

    Fingers in ears and fingers over eyes ain't going to cut it .

    Islam is hugely homophobic . Just look at that School in Birmingham . High Court orders need stop Muslim Intimidating staff at a School teaching very mild stuff about two mummies and two daddies .

    Don’t let Islam Intimidate you it will only encourage Violent Islamic Intimidation .

    Of all the posters in this thread it seems you are the one most intimidated by islam.

    All the Abrahamic religions are homophobic. Also Islam has little to do with this particular case so don’t see why you’re bringing it up constantly

    I would like them to have published the ethnicity of the attackers. Clear enough for you?

    So you can have your bias confirmed?

    I understand that you cannot be cow-ed by Violent Intimidation . It only encourages more violent Intimidation .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,065 ✭✭✭Christy42


    So we have reached the point in the thread were the attack was definitely most certainly not homophobic.

    Buy if it was then it was all down to the Muslims obviously. After hours is a parody of itself at this point

    As at 5 April 2019, 14 countries or jurisdictions, all of which are Islamic and ruled by sharia, impose the death penalty for homosexuality. These include Afghanistan, Brunei, Iran, Mauritania, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Yemen, the United Arab Emirates, parts of Nigeria, parts of Somalia, parts of Syria and parts of Iraq

    What has this got to do with this thread?

    The argument has moved on from “it wasn’t homophobia and even if it was whatabout it - happens to straights all the time” to “what about Islam”

    There’s probably no arguing with stupid, but we struggle on.

    I'm not sure you have to have a huge interest in women's rights or LGBT rights to find yourself speaking out in defense of them.

    There are of course bigots who will use aspects of religious faith to further their own agendas. But there's also an incontrovertible reluctance to openly and forcefully confront the culture of contented ignorance and intolerance among a significant number of Muslims and the implications of how that adversely impacts on the freedoms we currently enjoy as citizens of a socially progressive society.

    Being a European encompasses far more than simply attaining a right to residency and bagging yourself a passport. It's having an understanding of who we are, how we've reached this point in our societal development, a shared appreciation of the values & customs we hold dear, a respect for the secular rule of law and finding that common form of neighbourliness, most often expressed in a loyalty to the nation state.

    You can rule out Catholics then, a common argument from the likes of paisley was it was that we're ruled and only have allegiance to Rome.

    It’s a definitely not homophobic attack of the type that happens to straight people all the time caused by Islamic homophobia.

    I think Khan is a slimy careerist little sh*t but the idea that he alone is to blame for the crime is simplistic and stupid to be blunt about it.

    Crime occurs in a context of social factors. The Tory government has slashed police numbers to the point they’re ineffective. On top of that austerity has seen youth centres and initiatives and sports cut across the board. Schools are excluding record numbers of children because there are no more resources to help deal with them. Couple that with overcrowding and absent parents due to having to work long hours because pay is so low you have a recipe for disaster.

    All of the above can’t be blamed of Sadiq Khan.

    As a famous leader once said… the buck stops here.

    I was a response to another posters one-liner.

    I guess the totalitarianism of the left , extends to intolerance of how people should discuss this topic.

    Maybe post up the discussion rules that you deem we should all obey
    or on the other hand ... maybe go on a holiday like the other poster and get a bit woke...
    Why are you using lgbt people to justify your bigoted islamophobia?

    This is interesting , the lgbt community defending a religion that would execute them in 14 countries, defending a religion that just a few miles across the water is protesting against the teaching of same-sex relationships.

    Its akin to 2008 and when the black community in California overwhelmingly supported Prop 8, 70% of the black community voted to ban same-sex marriage, helping prop 8 pass. LGBT community never really wanted to or was willing to get to grips with the thorny issues that raised.

    Theres all sorts of contradictions which the left is having to face up to these days. They dont know who or what is on their side, they are fighting for so many causes many of which have opposing end goals.
    I think much of their angst , as demonstrated by their TDS, calling everyone raycist , fashist and adding phobia to every second word they speak is cos they are confused by the contradictions of whos on their side and whos not.

    Plenty of People in Britain have been the victims of homophobia many of them victims of Islamic Homophobia . If you want to stop Homophobia in Britain then it is necessary to stop Islamic Homophobia .

    Stopping Homophobia is very Important . Denying that Islamic Homophobia exists is hiding your head in the sand stuff . It is of course not the only Homophobia but it is a big part of Homophobia in Britain .

    Do not let Islam Intimidate you .

    Delighted to see the victim call out the media for using the pictures as clickbait. Fair play to them. The media are shameful and people eat it up.

    How it has made the news I have no idea. I knew a lad who had a limp and was heckled on a tram and called crutchie. They threw a ball at him and his face smashed off the pole and bust his nose.

    Wonder would that get an article in the paper? No is the answer.

    Amazing. You yourself admitted a few pages back that you've never given a sh it about sexuality. Yet suddenly homophobia is the most important thing ever in your worldview.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
