hardly paranoia when 6 nasty terrorist atrocities have been stopped in the UK already this year by the security services, the threat is very real

Terrorists are constantly a threat, not just the ones currently making headlines. One group being the most prominent doesn't suddenly erase the existence of others.

And care to address the point of other acts of violence that are constantly being committed even by non-Muslims? We seem to hear about a new murder every day. Why exactly is having a Muslim removed from a coach at all a realistic step in remaining safer?

This seems way over the top, but also disgusting to say the least if thrown off for no other reason than that. But surely they can't just throw them off for that? so either there is more to this re the news item or something was looked for to use as an excuse to throw them off.

i have no idea what your point is about random murders in the UK and the threat of an ISIS type terror attack?

[bitontheslide]

I don't believe this is a genuine story. For one, if there was genuine suspicion that the person was a terrorist, he wouldn't simply have been told to go on his way and get off the bus. The police would have been called.

I believe he did probably have too much luggage

Same, doesn't turn me into a bigot though (not referring to yourself, the people on the bus)

My point (which I thought was crystal clear ) is that an ISIS type terror attack isn't the only potential violent crime we're in danger of falling victim to and treating all Muslims (and only Muslims) like potential murderers is absurd and a shameful example of bigotry.

there would be no problem if muslim terrorists were not killing people in the name of Islam

blame the source

And I've officially met the brick wall.

indeed

best to be vigilant and stay safe

Exactly, so why pick on the Muslim when the threat could come from anyone.

'Ministers must not ignore the growing threat of violence from far-right extremists in Britain in the wake of ISIS terrorism and crimes involving UK Muslims, a senior Home Office adviser said today.
The anonymous expert on right-wing extremism warned that the Government is putting an emphasis on the ‘global jihadist agenda’ while possibly ignoring the growth of the far-right at home.
The adviser warned of the importance of preventing a violent attack being carried out by the far-right in Britain in the future.'

Next month, the former leader of the English Defence League, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, often known by the pseudonym Tommy Robinson, will make his political comeback by fronting the relaunch of the UK arm of Pegida, the German anti-Islam organisation whose provocative rhetoric has prompted attacks on refugees

It's clearly becoming more widespread; I had a customer (a long-term regular) completely at random go off on one at an Asian guy who was just sitting minding his own business. It was awful; all "We're sick of your ****ing type, over here blowing up our people." and the classic "**** off Jihadi John". He also referred to him as "Mr ISIS". I have no idea how the guy stayed so calm - sadly I can only assume he's used to it. The guy wasn't even "foreign" (not that this would be an excuse) - he had an obvious Scottish accent and had literally done nothing at all other than, presumably, have the wrong features.

For obvious reasons, I asked Robbie Racist to leave and not come back. He left with his tail between his legs and hasn't been seen since.

To be fair to the wider public (for once) - there were quite a few other people telling him he was massively out of order.

He should have been made wear an Islamic emblem on his jacket.

I saw something similar recently. I was washing a quilt in my local laundrette when these two African women started on a Muslim couple who were, just like me, doing their washing. They wouldn't allow the couple to sit down and told them they couldn't use that tumble dryer or that one of the other one because they were going to use them. They then sat there, talking loudly about how these effing Muslims should feck-off home.

I reported them to the laundry staff and they did go and have a word with them and ensured this couple did have a seat and did have a tumble dryer.
