Stick my season ticket on the living room wall. Take my dog out with a St Mitten coat on even when it is sunny. My car is painted black and white stripes while the day before matches I camp outside the gate so I'm first in the stadium for match days. That is extreme hope that helps. Whilst that is pretty extreme behaviour , it is unlikely to injure anyone or offend them (perhaps the occasional Mor*on fan) even. It is not illegal to have extreme views in this country but it is illegal to plan and perpetrate acts of violence against people for whatever reason . . By the way , I don't care how big you are , my tent was there first. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed you picked up on the scenario WRT a ISIS returnee driving school buses, but I noticed you overlooked or chose not to answer probably the most important part of my post. Would you Faraway Saint want to have a known ISIS Jihadist living next door to you.? Because the fact is, they're going to have to be someone's neighbor.

Of course it IS simple. Your scenario if Internment was in force may come to pass, but maybe not, or to a lesser degree as they do not have the support of their community, as the IRA did in Northern Ireland. GET THEM OFF THE STREETS!! Yes, it would be difficult and measures would need to in place - vis a vis a judge's decision if the weight of evidence points to an individual being a grave danger to the innocent. GET THEM OFF THE STREETS!! You guys are hilarious. Oh hang on.... you are actually serious?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that suggestions like internment are so utterly brainless and have proven to be brainless through decades of experience in Northern Ireland that they deserve to be laughed. To be incapable of understanding that introducing internment would turn moderate muslims against us, making a bad situation considerably worse, is laughable. Solutions are definitely needed but you running around a forum screaming "GET THEM OFF THE STREETS" is not one of them - especially when you don't have the guts to actually articulate that when you say "THEY", you effectively mean that we should target people with brown faces - predominately immigrants. For the benefit of doubt, because you seem confused, I am laughing at you personally because your 20 seconds of thought into the problem really deserves nothing more. Only an idiot would think I was laughing at genuine solutions to stop people being murdered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously have your own views, as you believe ours are "hilarious" Of course I have my own views but you won't like them. The key to this is for us natives to be as genuinely welcoming, inclusive and friendly to people who choose to come here to live, work and holiday as it is possible to be. We need a lot less "tolerance" and a lot more acceptance and inclusion. Hatred, division, suspicion and fear are the tools which cause the problem we are seeing. Intelligent people know this which is why you are being laughed at. When people feel included and welcome they tend not to shit on their own doorstep. Many muslims do not feel as welcome, wanted or valued in this country as they should do and this is a stain of shame on our country as a whole. We don't to "educate" muslims. We need to start educating ignorant people like you and vambo. I am not afraid of terrorists. I am more worried about ignorance amongst the non-muslim natives in this country because IMO they create the conditions which ISIS exploit so easily. Cut off the supply of isolated muslims and you deal with the source of the problem. Edited June 27, 2017 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russian Saint Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Wow........ what a retort. Let me pick through the bones of your statement.1. This is the most important one in my view. We're not talking about Muslims, we're talking about extremists, we're talking about those that left to take up arms in the Jihad and have returned to the UK to walk our streets.2. Education of ignorant people such as myself and Vambo57. I can only speak for myself here, but I've worked and lived in many Muslim countries (Egypt, Qatar, Bosnia, Chad, Bangladesh and Kazakhstan) to name a few. So please don't try to tell me about Muslims, as I have many Muslim friends and know a helluva lot about their beliefs. Can you say likewise????3. "I'm not afraid of terrorists" Really??? Well you should be. It's people like you that make so proud to be British (that was a bit of sarcasm there)4. Not that I really care, but who's laughing at us???? Vambo57, can you hear anyone laughing?You're argument, well you don't really have one....... Do you.As Dennis Thatcher once said. "It's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought of as a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt"Vambo57. I'll tee them up, you knock them in.

salmonbuddie Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 You're argument, well you don't really have one....... Do you.

If they were all peaceful people bar one known extremist that had fought in Syria. If that one extremist was taken off the streets, you're telling me that by doing that the rest of the community would feel alienated?????Do you not think the peaceful Muslims would be more than happy to get the bad apple out of the barre?

Do you not think the peaceful Muslims would be more than happy to get the bad apple out of the barre? You've missed out the term "internment" which, just to clarify, was more of a hindrance than help as it allowed "them" in Northern Ireland to be arrested and jailed without trial. Operation Demetrius was a British Army operation in Northern Ireland on 9–10 August 1971, during the Troubles. It involved the mass arrest and internment (imprisonment without trial) of 342 people suspected of being involved with the Irish Republican Army (IRA), which was waging a campaign against the state. No one is saying any person known to be posing a threat shouldn't be "off the streets" but the generalisation being used is rather disturbing. Also there are many people seen as "extremists" by one group and only speaking their mind by others. You posted earlier about Tommy Robinson, seen by many as an extremist, jail him? We have to very careful or we, UK, could become a country where freedom of speech is clamped down on, mainly on Muslims if some had their way. The authorities are doing what they can, regular reports of possible attacks being stopped are generally overlooked, but it's an impossible situation to stop all attacks.

I think that suggestions like internment are so utterly brainless and have proven to be brainless through decades of experience in Northern Ireland that they deserve to be laughed. No, I think Brainless is the ability to have only one standpoint, one term of reference, that is presumed to be utterly correct and resort to abuse of those who disagree with you. To be incapable of understanding that introducing internment would turn moderate muslims against us, making a bad situation considerably worse, is laughable. No, Have you EVER considered that you're assumption is wrong? Solutions are definitely needed but you running around a forum screaming "GET THEM OFF THE STREETS" is not one of them - especially when you don't have the guts to actually articulate that when you say "THEY", you effectively mean that we should target people with brown faces - predominately immigrants. Who is the racist here? Not once have I even alluded to your definition of "THEY" Anyone that knows me will vouch that I am anything but a racist. Please believe me when I warn you that: if you accuse me of Racism again, I will see you in court. For the benefit of doubt, because you seem confused, I am laughing at you personally because your 20 seconds of thought into the problem really deserves nothing more.

Guest TPAFKATS Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 As I said earlier in the thread, the current legislation is sufficient to remove those known to be a threat from the streets. Therefore there's no need for internment to do likewise.Of course, the authorities have been made aware by the local community of guys such as the Manchester bomber and chose to let him remain at liberty.

Indeed, things, as they stand are in place but, regarding your last sentence, it's well near impossible as the authorities will have been made aware of many people and it's impossible to take everyone "off the streets" although there are plenty white UK citizens who I would gladly take off the streets.
