But still we have wacko lefties in government pushing these rules down non muslims throats, which will only make non muslims dislike muslims...
But the real problem is saudi money funding islamic schools to teach their islam where the jews and christians are pigs! Now to a young mind over time he/she will take that as the truth... Land of the kuffar.

Some Jews and Christian's were turned into pigs according Quran at the time where God revealed the holy book to them, but they rejected the messengers, started worshiping a man than the creator, corrupted and changed the text of the books, in which Allah turned these generation into Apes, just read the book in context man. Anyway notice how Allah makes link to human and ape, which evolutionist says humans share 98% of DNA of Chimps. The statement in Quran has also scientific basis.

Its all really pointless and annoying. I don't care about what Muslims do and where, but we shouldn't have to aswell. What really gets me is the toning down of Christmas plans and less Lights and street decorations as it might offend people :rolleyes:

Xander 03-09-2008 09:04 PM

No, why should we?

I really do not care about Ramadan, and why should I, I'm not muslim, this isn't a muslim country although with the rate of bloody immigration there will be more than christians at this rate. So no, I don't care, why should we have to adapt our lives for immigrants, which at the end of the day is partly true.

So your saying that the quran contains scientific facts? Hats off to the Quraysh tribe.

All this really comes down to is the arrogance of Christians thinking their religion is better than others'. If Christians had a fasting period then they wouldn't want Muslims throwing food in their faces during that period, and so they should give Muslims that same respect.

Thank you for coming in here, and Ramadan Mubarak

We understand that Ramadan is obligitory on muslims, that is not in question

However the initial reports were that the labour leader of the council and his deputy who happen to be muslims, did issue a memo which appeared to be imposing the fast on non-muslims, which was what the fuss seemed to be about.

The person objecting is a Liberal Democrat, and she has two members who are muslims who said the memo was not right.

The concern is that the rules of the Ramadan fast were being imposed on Non-Muslims, and that was what I was wondering about. Is it Islamic to impose Islamic fasts on non-muslems?
Any man that has faith would like to share his faith with others... I said to a muslim what would make your day, he said "for you to become a muslim"
andy ... your a fruit loop ... every post of your is trying to incite HATE... hehe
for staters you didn't ask a muslim "what would make your day?"... 2nd.. we're not basing any arguments on the answer for ONE fictitious muslim person who I think you've made up made.
This is a great debate about HOW tolerant and understanding a society should be ... let's talk about that..... you seem to rabbit on about "Oh the "muslims" want to take OVER". We all get who you Andyman. .. now get back into your dark little hole and ssssh.

My cousin used to be vegiterian and had no objections as to what other people wanted to eat infront of her.
I don't mind it either but my dad used to get KFC chicken then eat it going "MMMMMMM!" really loudly and "Oh, this is just great! MMMMMMM!" and exaggerating his chewing and such. I found this to be a bit rude. This isn't just how he eats, he only did it in front of me as a way of shoving in my face "Haha, I don't agree with what you're not doing, and look, I'm doing it and you can't stop me!" So for the same reason I would never eat in front of a Muslim during fasting. "Mmm... this food tastes so good, shame you're fasting because it's really delicious... MMMMMM! YUUUUM! Soooo good...." Come on. Is it REALLY such a huge deal to wait just a couple of hours to eat so as not to do it in front of a Muslim? It's not THAT big of an inconvenience, and I've never heard of buffets at meetings anyway. And let's face it, if your religion called for fasting you wouldn't want others throwing food in your face either.
Then what next? It will be more rules to please muslims, but this is a christian country with christian history, the PC nutjobs would rather we have islamic history!.. One little rule leads to another... and another.

*winter lights* ....... *winter gifts*...
"the PC nutjobs would rather we have islamic history!"
you are OFFICIALLY a nut job ... come get it stamped on your forehead :tongue::tongue:

ange7 08-09-2008 04:56 AM

the prob in England is you have no ******ING clue what mulitcuturalism is. It's not just tolerance ... ( to tolerate ...to put up with to have to suffer someone...lol). Mulitcuturalism is about UNDERSTANDING a different culture or sub culture and then through that... respect it.
That's hard work!! VERY HARD and it would be nice with people made an effort to understand where others are coming from ...lol but some couldn't be @ssed and would rather hide under a rock ...and if they did JUST that then great,...problem is that they peak their nasty heads out from under those rocks everynow and then.... to incite hate." they are trying to take over!!!", "I spoke to one today and he said blah blah..".."Should non muslims be forced to fast" mahahaha ....
Respect for something DOESN'T mean you become IT. Should it be legislated? no way ... should people be forced to respect others? ....no!! It's should and will evolve. That councill ( being a coucil) voted on it and decide yes let's do it.... let's not eat infront of our Muslim council mates ...fine ... but to turn that into sticks's "will we all be forced to observe fasting" is amazingly stupid. ( oh and please don't respond with "oh la dee da your being ever so rude" ... I didn't start a HATE thread like this one!!.
Respecting others is PC .... forcing it on people IS ... and it's a waste of time .... changes like this ie RESPECT ... can't be forced from the top ... it has to graw and be nurtured. My advice is GET OUT OF THE HOUSE and meet some people .. and not just the same types everytime.

Well said!
No surprise that Sticks didn't bother to respond. :)

Sticks 10-09-2008 04:05 AM

This thread was based on a memo that was issued by London Borough of Tower Hamlets, which Muslims in other parties on the council were against as well.

It was directed at the PC industry, not the Muslims, that sets it self up as their champion whether the Muslims asked for this or not. (They did not)

Took ages for a response ... what happened to all you passionate "pc haters" hehe which is code for rednecks lol.
Sticks...YOUR the one on the stake out of your local halal KFC and reporting their closing times....mahahah!! ridiculous!!!! ...how does that fit in with your lie of 'I'm going after the "PC industry, not the Muslims"'. Your racism is WORSE than Andyman's because at least andy comes out and says the crazy rubbish out loud you on the other hand hide behind this anti PC line and no one would be more surprised that your racist than YOU. hehe. Sticks.... you have heard the nut job andy trying to turn this debate into "hey they all want to take over!! ...yeah I spoke to one and that's what he confided to ME" ..lol. You didn't pull that sickening fool in line did you. Your silence told ME where you're coming from.

Idiot Rednecks ALWAYS hide their hate behind "oh it's PC gone Mad"....oh the "good'ol'days" when I could act like a total *****w*t and not have to worry..."oh it's all so confusing nowadays". That's not to say all those for a less PC society are racists ... .. but it is where alot of rednecks hide their racism.
We all know when the PC stuff goes too far....it's heart is in the right place but trying to force people to love or respect others via legislation often only results in resentment... which in turn is fodder for more hate crimes.

This isn't a story about political correctness ... these councillors VOTED to do it themselves. When YOUR political reps vote to FORCE you to do it respect other races, religions, the handicapped etc then that SOMETIMES is political correctness gone mad.

oh and come on andyman .. come out from under that rock ... let's here it hehe

Sticks 10-09-2008 08:22 AM

I could not respond earlier due to other things I had to attend to, and this discussion got moved down the to-do list

I actually like to have good discussions at my Halal fish and chip shop with the proprietor there, a devout muslim, and he has even given me a copy of the Koran which has pride of place in my library. Hardly Islamophobic.

As for other races, I have been a member of a black afro-carribean church in my time, and our currant one has a number of nationalities. I have even entertained people in my flat from different parts of the world. Hardly the actions of a card carrying member of the BNP.

The councillors did not vote for what was in the memo, it was in essence a dictat, which implied that non-muslims were to be told to observe a muslim fast. Even our resident Muslim proponent agrees that this fast should not be imposed on non muslims. Coupled with this, at work we were given instructions about "Ramadan" ettiquete which lead one to wonder if certain powers were expecting non-muslims to do what even Muslims were saying is wrong.

The PC industry in it's new cloak of Diversity Awareness has taken on Stalinesque powers, and got a lot of people anxious that they might be stomped on for the slightest infraction of rule of the PC lobby.

ange7 11-09-2008 03:44 AM

Sticks your silence while andy had his "musilms want to take over!!" rant spoke volumes VOLUMES mate! end of!!
...certainly more than your nice story about where you buy your fish'n'chips... lol ....if that's your best demo of your cultural openness then god help you. ... oh and then the guy at the chippie gave you a Koran ....(or Qur'an mate?) ...clearly you can't see it from where it has pride of place on your library other wise you'd be able to spell it's title. Leads me to think you made that all up ..anyway sounds like your trying to back up Andy's point about Muslims wanting to convert us all.

"Even our resident Muslim proponent agrees"
2 points here .... one ...pointless I did say IT was pc madness to FORCE RESPECT .... so the above was of no relevance and was just more "filler" argument.
Secondly our "resident Muslim" ( what??!!) HE isn't the last say on this stuff simply because he is muslin. If you have an argument kindly bring it on and don't resort to trying to trump an argument with the age old redneck cliché "yeah but THEY don't mind" hehe.
"it was in essence a dictat"
A "dictat" was it!!??.... or is this you fanning the flames. It was hardly an ORDER! ..you Sticks have ramped that word up.
"certain powers" .... what certain powers sherlock? ... this isn't the DaVinci code and your NOT on some kind of quest trying unravel a conspiracy... lol
"PC industry in it's new cloak of Diversity Awareness"
again all the "cloak" and dagger conspiracy theory stuff ... oooh but Sticks is on the case... thank ****** for that hehe. ... and since when was cultural awareness NEW in terms of what is or isn't PC. ... have you been living under a rock for the last 20 years?
"got a lot of people anxious" ... no just rednecks.

Summing up ...your a scary born again Christian or a wing nut who thinks there are powers at work behind the scenes working through the PC "industry" who trying to take over lol.... either way .....you scare me silly.
