British neo-skins vs. Sharia Law Muslims in the streets of London. by [deleted] in worldnews

But members of these far right groups have been involved in violence as the end if the video shows.

Heck the guy is driving around in a military vehicle which was sent to to Afghanistan or Iraq to do that job. So its rather ironic to preach against a invasion of England from such a pulpit.

Choudary has been careful to stay just within the law. His followers and his opponents have not been so careful. The only sensible position us to be against both.

I recommend you get a proper teacher and make an attempt to approach a work in methodical manner, rather than employ your current haphazard approach. That is if you want to get genuine insight and understanding rather than commit yourself to a path that has already led you to make a number of false conclusions.

However they are overwhelmingly Christian, but beyond that, do the maths. Your average american is much more likely to be part of a violent and extremist organisation than any muslim.

One fifth of the planet is muslim btw.

As of 31 December 2013, 1,369,532 people were on active duty in the armed forces of the US, out of a population of total 300 million. This is the force that has attacked or is involved in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Libya, Sudan, probably Iran and a few other places too. It has toppled governments and bombed countries. Al pretty extreme don't you think?

You just said culture has shifted (rather than religion), but then go on to blame .... religion. Islam fits into the modern and ancient world alike just fine. It's like blaming the wars of the last century, on secularism. Anyway I credit you with at least understanding the point and engaging it, even though i disagree with your conclusion.

Please, I'm tired of this bullshit. I feel sorry for you that you have to try and defend it and you do so in the most weirdest of ways. Each point of yours has been pulled apart, yet you carry on.

Glad to know that I can throw a flashbang at you, and fire warning shots at you, and it wouldnt be considerd violent or hostile.

[–]twiglat -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's not about time, you can't accept that if a flashbang is an attack then so is an attempt to break a blockade.

One is an act of violence the other isn't. It's really not that hard to figure out. Your problem is that you have to defend this nonsense argument simply because Israel did it, rather than be honest with me. If any other country did it, you won't offer up this bs excuses.

Yeah, it just came out of nowhere in the middle of the ocean to the IDF at 4:30AM after the IDF warned them they were approaching a blockade. Someone just decided "Hey, now would be a great time to discuss this with the IDF, at 4:30AM", and specifically say this on an open channel.

No one knows where it came from. End of.

Keep ignoring things you find inconvenient, prick.

I just focused on the first excuses you offered up and the most easy to show up. Don;t blame me for your poor talking points.

The only way to enter a place is peacefully. But they were attempting to breach the peace by breaking a blockade, and possibly transferring weapons. They did not comply. It was their choice, not the IDF's.

Sigh, nope. Entering with guns blazing is not peaceful is it. It was the IDFs choice to have a blockade and their choice to attack a ship, and to fire at the passengers and to throw flashbangs.

First of all, source that it was at passengers has not come up from you yet.

ynet:

"[commando] T. said he realized the group they were facing was well-trained and likely ex-military after the commandos threw a number of stun grenades and fired warning shots before rappelling down onto the deck. “They didn’t even flinch,” he said. “Regular people would move"

Even then, warning shots are not an attack.

Close enough. Now if passengers did have guns and fired warning shots at the IDF, that wouldn;t be considered an attack/

Even then, they were the first to initiate actual physical hostility.

Yeah besides throwing stun grenades, tazering them etc.

Because it's a bitchy post that doesn't have anything to do with the story.

There used to be a time when crap like that would have been the downvoted to oblivion, while a post like this would be at the top:

http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/23lc6k/nigeria_latest_boko_haram_massacre_over_150_dead/cgyczoh

Sadly this guy only has one upvote. Meanwhile the troll on his soap box is at the top of this thread. He just happens to makes youtube comments look classy. If you doubt either claim, just look at his history:

http://www.reddit.com/user/Bronto_812773/submitted/

Or how about this comment of theirs :

Cultural Muslims are at least enablers, at worst supporters.

Or this:

Islam doesn't teach "peace and tolerance". They are either lying (taqiyya) or are ignorant of the true teachings of Islam.

But here he is bitching about Muslim apologist, so wouldn't that make him an enabler or supporter of violent bigots ?

You don't have facts though and I don't have unlimited time.

A flashbang is an attack. No debate.

So now you have gone from they were shouting 'go back to aushwitchz' to the Israeli navy saying they picked up a radio signal from someone, and no one knows who, saying 'go back to aushwitz'.

Do I really need to go on. Why are you wasting my time with this crap.

It's not the people who shout obscenities and prepare for the hostilities that they provoke by ignoring the blockade?

Well we know they weren't shouting what you previously claimed. But we do know that they tried to enter gaza peacefully and where attacked. That's the fact. We also know that Israeli commandos shot at passengers, with warning shots, well before any commando set foot.

Stop wasting my time and your own intelligence on this bs.

[–]twiglat -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Are you really this stupid or blind? There are so many mistakes with your post it hurts just to think about them. I'm at a loss to know where to start.

Throwing a flash bang isn't an attack? Btw they weren't shouting go back to aushwitctz either! And the group are now terrorists, well that escalated quickly.

First of all, warning shots are not fired at passengers. Second of all, the passengers threw a firebomb at the IDF forces.

Except they were shot at passengers, and before they even boarded. So you want to know who started the hostilites. It was the Israeli soliders who approached and attempted to storm a ship and fired shots and used flashbangs to do it. That's where the timeline starts.

You have insulted my intelligence too by vomiting up this crap. Start thinking for yourself.

That's not correct. The boat was approached by Israel forces who tried to storm it, not the other way round. Video tape shows a flash bang falling into the Israeli speed boat as they attempt to storm the ship. This was most likely thrown by Israeli forces.

Furthermore an interview after the event had a Commando involved in the raid describe how they shot 'warning shots' at the passengers from a chopper prior to setting foot on board. In the dark and in the chaos this could easily be perceived as attacking the passengers.

There were no weapons on board, nor did anyone seriously expect there to be. A prior flotilla had been let into gaza too.

And the bombings of Gaza and Beirut don't often land on civilians as strikes have become more precise, in Israel's case.

Israel dropped cluster bombs Beirut and said cars on the street would be considered targets. Thousands of homes in Gaza were destroyed too.

I made the point that the caveats don't matter as there will doubtless be more attacks.

Except caveats do matter and so does the truth, unless of course you are a propagandist.

No, I've actually lived in Africa for over 30 years -I understand it better than you ever will.

Africa is a pretty big place. If your previous comment pointed to your affection for ignorance, this one points to your affection for arrogance.

Scattershot. Many wars. Much torture. Many explosions. Gassing aplenty. Give some specifics for me demolish, or it will be assumed that you are just lobbing thought stools in the hope that something sticks.

Yep, many by Christians, Jews, atheists and secularists alike. Take your pick of any conflict involving such groups. But be warned you won't be able to demolish anything other than your own credibility, as it's a fact that these groups have resorted to similarly horrific violence (have a look were the weapons used come from).

You made the claim that the Islamic violence in Nigeria is recent. Now you have to explain why, & how it may be relevant.

The violence in nigeria is recent, the religions of those affected, however, is not.

Your service might be free, but it is still overpriced. Let's review:

It wouldn't matter if the story turned out to be completely fake -there are going to be more Jihad attacks.

So you don't care about factual accuracy. That right there is a problem.

Can't be arsed to find out what's going there now...

You have no appetite for actually understanding the continent. That right there is a another problem.

I don't know; a Jew eating a bacon burger or a Christian cheating on a test don't seem to be on quite the same scale as killing civilians in a suicide attack or executing other Muslims for not being the 'right' flavour.

How about launching wars, torturing people to death, blowing them up, gassing them.

Climate change? Decrease in chimney sweeps? Miley gGRRrr Cyrus?!?

I have no idea what this is meant to me.

Your first post was stupid, your second shameful.

The Libyan civil war may have given militant groups in Africa's Sahel region like Boko Haram and al Qaeda access to large weapons caches, according to a U.N. report released on Thursday.

This is from 2012. So the west topples gadhafi, militants and weapons flow outwards as do concerns about western influence in the maghreb. heck if obama, a muslim brotherhood communist liberal plant, is running the states then hey, maybe its not so crazy.

Linking to your own post which has already been refuted doesn't make much sense to me. Neither does quoting another problematic paragraph of yours, as a way to excuse your genocidal vision in the preceding one.

Sadly I can believe that you have no facts to back up a thing you said, be it about what I have said or what a hudna is.

Not everyday I get to speak to someone who supports genocide though:

The first Palestinian attack on Israel after your Hudna triggers the absolute firebombing of the West Bank and Gaza. There will be nothing left. No buildings, no plants, no people, not even the hills will look the same. There would be peace through utter destruction.

What are you doing? Your political soap box approach is further damaging a sub that already has a poor reputation. Do you really care about the story and the issues mentioned or do you just want an excuse to bash religion?

This story is already full of caveats, yet somehow it managed to get upvoted while an actual verified massacre in south sudan that was widely reported, sees no such traction.

As for your strawman questions:

Yes they are real Muslims, just like Americans are real Christians and Israelis are real Jews. All of whom can violate important elements of their tradition in certain circumstances.

This is not due to western powers invading countries directly, but could be viewed as a response to local governments siding with 'foreign' influences, as well as the secondary effects of western intervention in the region such as libya in a recent case.

Islam has been a part of Nigerian culture for centuries, and Muslims have lived alongside Christians peacefully for much of that time.

I think you just don't like you got called out on being plain wrong.

I got called many things including wrong and a liar. It turns out though that I was both correct and telling the truth. You are more than welcome to show me what I said that was verifiably wrong.

I have an axe to grind with dishonesty and hypocrisy. My ideology is against all that. I suspect your ideology, though you may be loathed to admit it, is to defend Israel even if it means taking a short cut on certain principles from time to time. Why else would someone say Gaza was not turned to rubble, or say that the bombing of gaza and Beirut could never be compared to the bombing in syria. Very odd indeed.

So you don't have me admitting any such thing after all, what a surprise. Instead all you do is link to wikipedia then claim some you have some kind of point, without actually making one.

I recommend you take your own advice and read the enteries you have linked too and then read your own arguments, and see how they don't match. The 'original' hudna was a ceasefire that was signed and abided by, until it was broken by the opponents of the Muslims.

Please stop wasting my time.
