Yeah, well, I happen to think that bathtubs are, actually, the bigger threat.



No kidding! Imagine all those that "fall and cannot get up" and hit their heads and drown, OR scald their ass in water thats too hot, I won't even GO into all the "tipsy" people that drown by passing out in bathtubs!!"

I guess the pair of you really do not want to hear about the extra deep old fashioned claw foot soaking tub Jewel and i picked out for the second bathroom, well with the four man shower in the main bath there really is no room for a tub.

Status: offline 		I agree that the war on terror is a nonsense but just because more people die in accidents, doesn't mean we should allow terrorists to roam freely through our society and kill innocent people at will because the numbers aren't big. People understand the tragic nature of accidents and accidents don't create fear like terrorism does and which is the whole idea of terrorism.

There is a terrorist problem and we would be better treating terrorism as a criminal act rather than elevating it to a war. However, as is being proved in Britian now, there is a trend amongst young muslims to become terrorists and to ignore that fact is stupid. How many muslims are waiting or going through the courts in Britain now, fifty or sixty with security admitting to there being potentially one thousand? The muslim communities really do need to look at themselves and say that these young muslims are harming their interests, rather than saying while they don't agree with Islamic terrorism, they understand its reasons. Muslims have to choose, they are citizens of western nations or they aren't and if they aren't and think they should fight, they should go to the ME and take up arms there. We in the west have a right to police our society and root out terrorists.   

MC, to me, your posts lack consistency.

What has happened to your principles of innocent until proven guilty? The way Britiain is heading at the moment I would not be offering the fact that some people are in court as evidence of guilt and a trend. We have a Government trying to introduce ID cards, shooting innocent people, using forged documents to support their policies. For someone quick to point out the failure of Government and the establishment I'm surprised you're so quick to accept that being in court in the UK = guilt.

Also, what trend? 4 convicted muslims and 23 suspected in a population of 2 million. So, 0.01%. Shouldn't we be giving the 99.9% the benefit of the doubt considering that, as far as we know, they are guilty of nothing?

Having said the above, what I find must bizarre is your consistent posts that muslims need to take a look at themselves. Once again, a spokesmen from the Muslim Council of Britain was on tele this morning denouncing terrorism and violent protest to Islamophobia and bigotry. It must have been the 100,000th time! Yet, you keep posting "they are not being vociferous enough", "they need to be more outspoken" - what do you want them to do pay you a personal visit and present their case to you personally?! Instead of calling for people to repeat themselves over and over again why doin't you take a look at yourself and try and understand a) what is driving your views b) why you are so insistent that the 99.9% have to defend themselves because of the 0.01% c) why you keep calling for the British muslim community to denounce terrorism when they have been over and over again!

Regards

Status: offline 		I take your point. However, many reasonable muslims give comfort to terrorists and potential terrorists by saying 'I don't believe in terrorism but....'. The west has to win hearts and minds and I agree with them that western foreign policy is wrong headed and I have no argument with British muslims wanting to change it, I want to change it.

So, you think British foreign policy is wrong headed, I think it is and British muslims think it is. You and I are allowed to say British foreign policy is creating terrorism so why can't British muslims also voice this? You're contradicting yourself in your post above i.e. you know the damage caused by British foreign policy yet you don't believe British muslims have the right to point out this damage. Strange logic and it's simply spewing the government line that British muslims need to adapt to British foreign policy rather than vice versa.

Regards

We have a Government trying to introduce ID cards

While I don't agree with ID cards, I live in a country where I have to carry one and
I am still waiting for big brother to knock on my door. So I wouldn't condemn a government wanting to introduce ID cards as being malign, just misguided in my view.

shooting innocent people

A gross exaggeration. An innocent man was shot by the police, maybe an unfortunate case of miss identifying someone, maybe gross negligence on behalf ofg the police. However, implying the government ordered the killing of innocent people is total and utter hogwash.

Using forged documents to support their policies.

Not proven that it was the government who forged them but no one really believed in them in the first place but we do know the government is happy to use dodgey documents.

For someone quick to point out the failure of Government and the establishment I'm surprised you're so quick to accept that being in court in the UK = guilt.

OK, the guy filmed checking the half of ton of fertilizer in a warehouse in London might have had a big garden. We'll wait and see what the jury decides.

Well it is difficult to convict the London bombers since they are enjoying their virgins now but they must have had back up. How else do people learn to construct bombs?
 
If you seriously believe that terrorism is limited to the immediate perpetrators of a terrorist act then you are naive in the extreme.
 
Accusing people of Islamaphobia is becoming a knee jerk attack on people who question certain behaviour in the Islamic community in the same way anti-semiticism is used to attack people who criticize Israel.


a) what is driving your views b) why you are so insistent that the 99.9% have to defend themselves because of the 0.01% c) why you keep calling for the British muslim community to denounce terrorism when they have been over and over again!

Having lived for ten years in east London I can tell you there is very much a substantial minority of muslims that are hostile to western cultural there. Now I'm not saying they are terrorists or potential terrorists but they wouldn't recognize a terrorist in their midst because they would hold the same views.

Viewed in isolation maybe but in the context of the manipulation of information (such as using forged documents to present a case) it is a very dangerous road to be going down - one more nail in the coffin of civil liberties.

2 innocent men - hence the term "people". I'm not implying the government ordered it, I'm saying we live in a climate where it can happen and be legitimised to the extent that most people have forgotten it happened - it shows how little we have come to value our civil liberties.

Not proven that it was the government who forged them but no one really believed in them in the first place but we do know the government is happy to use dodgey documents.
 
The Government did not forge the documents. However, they knew they were forged because the CIA told them they were and advised them to take them out of the dossier. However, they were the cornerstone of the case they were presenting as they had nothing else - hence they had to be left in. 

OK, the guy filmed checking the half of ton of fertilizer in a warehouse in London might have had a big garden. We'll wait and see what the jury decides.
 
One person MC, it hardly supports your claim of a trend.
 
Well it is difficult to convict the London bombers since they are enjoying their virgins now but they must have had back up. How else do people learn to construct bombs?
 
By all accounts, it is not that difficult to make a crude bomb and can be done via the internet and with very little experience. I like your use of the term "enjoying their virgins" - it betrays your prejudice.

If you seriously believe that terrorism is limited to the immediate perpetrators of a terrorist act then you are naive in the extreme. 
 
You are continuing your theme of guilty without a trial by pointing the figure at invisible accomplices. Feel free to tell me why if  the anti-Western sentiment is rampant among muslims, and they want to blow us up, why have only 4 muslims actually doen this and 23 suspected?

Accusing people of Islamaphobia is becoming a knee jerk attack on people who question certain behaviour in the Islamic community in the same way anti-semiticism is used to attack people who criticize Israel.
 
The only people I'm accusing of Islamophobia are people who use the actions of a tiny minority to support their prejudiced views on the majority. If it was aimed at the black community it would be racism, if it was aimed at women it would be sexist, if it was aimed at the gay community it would be homophobia - just because the muslims are the bogeymen doesn't mean this sort of prejudiced thinking is not Islamophobia.

Having lived for ten years in east London I can tell you there is very much a substantial minority of muslims that are hostile to western cultural there. Now I'm not saying they are terrorists or potential terrorists but they wouldn't recognize a terrorist in their midst because they would hold the same views.
 
We always seem to come back to this MC, you can't deny the fact that only a tiny minority of the 2 million British muslims have been involved in any overtly anti-Western acts. So you fall back on anecdotes.

P.S. BBC news today reported a gathering of bathtubs at a skip. While some commentators pointed out out that the bathtubs were at the skip purely for disposal the BBC were keen to point out that regardless of the motive behind this gathering it will come back to haunt us if we don't set plans in motion to combat this upsurge in bathtub activity. The rapid reaction force and forensic experts were seen inspecting the bathtubs in full protective radio-active suits and they took various items away to be tested (including a tap that was said to be particularly menacing and unresponsive to being turned on).

The government have announced that due to this worrying situation no-one is allowed to have a bath, leave their home and enter into conversations with the next door neighbours. Also, all bath-instruction manuals must be handed over to the government for burning.

BBC news also reported escalating tensions. Armed (pitch-forks) mobs were seen bearing placads with slogans such as "the devil wants your bathtubs" and the Prime Minister is busy praying to God for a peaceful resolution.

You heard it here first.

Status: offline 		Have you ever tried to buy half a ton of fertizer lately? Do you have any idea of how much half a ton weighs? To have that much fertizer in your possession you have not got it legally and you have not put it there on your own.

4 dead bombers, 23 accused terrorists in custody, another 14 in custody, the ones on trial now. Now go around Europe and count all the people waiting trial for terrorism or giving material support to terrorists, conspiracy to cause terrorist acts (and not all European countries have conspiracy laws) you will come to a worrying number that must rely on some support in a host population.

I had written a big reply but deleted as I can't be bothered. If you really don't think there is a muslim terrorist problem fine, if you don't think that many who live here aren't anti-western fine. The next time a bomb goes off and kills someone don't complain that the police have failed in their duty.
