Vile. This is another reason why these terrorist attacks are so awful - apart from the obvious. Innocent muslims get attacked because of racist idiots.

'Scottish councils are adamant that the Paris attacks will have “no effect whatsoever” on plans to welcome Syrian refugees arriving in Scotland tomorrow, after far-right demonstrators clashed with refugee rights activists at the weekend.

Members of the Scottish Defence League gathered in the village of Monkton, south Ayrshire, on Sunday afternoon, claiming to have been approached by residents who were unhappy at speculation that refugees were being given emergency accommodation at a nearby hotel.

Fuad Alakbarov, a human rights activist from Glasgow, said that the SDL protest was drowned out by a counter-demonstration of up to two hundred people, attended mainly by locals in support of the resettlement plans.'

What I have noticed from the French is they are not blaming the refugees, and in Scotland too they welcome those who need our aid and life carries on as before.

Kizzy 17-11-2015 10:33 AM

She does make good points and I think this is really what needs to happen, more speaking out against ISIS from Muslims themselves and we should all be standing together, what ISIS is hoping is for stories like the one in this thread and the one about that salon owner, to divide us all even more and create hate and distrust

Some people are just *******.

Crimson Dynamo 17-11-2015 11:08 AM

There's a lot of cases of Muslims speaking out about Isis though but you don't see too much of it in the general media since there's more money to be made from demonsing Islam as a whole.

I don't want to speak for Dezzy but I would take him to mean Newspapers, TV etc as general media rather than Social Media which is where I saw this video :shrug:

I've seen that one before Livia, yeah I think maybe that girl should take her advice but I also understand it must be hard for Muslims in western countries too who feel blamed for the actions of the minority

That being that attention needs to be drawn to the problem of demonasation in communities... as seen in the OP.
It is this that finally the powers that be in the UK are beginning to realise is the biggest tool in the counter terrorism arsenal within the western world.

Right news right now?... bang on right

Yeah exactly. I mean I do understand her frustrations but she's not dealt with it properly imo She could have gotten the exact same point across without scolding her and probably further alienating her

Chaos, our lovely Caitlin, posted this a while back. So much sense, I thought it needed a re-airing.
