Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

It will be interesting to see the results of the "footballer's" appeal.
I feel that some of the media and other groups are acting vigilantes and elements are vindictive and hounding Evans for their own satisfactions.
I don't know his history, or if he had any previous criminal record or not, even so, if you believe in the law and its application the he has served his term as sentenced and allowed to get on with his life.
=======
I think the various clubs involved appear to be prostituting themselves for financial gain.
But that is capitalism for you.

I know plenty of Muslims and they are no different from anyone else. I know Turkish, Algerian, Pakistani and other Muslims. They lead normal lives like you and others. Some are very religious and some only follow a few rules the same way that other people who believe in other religions. They are not extremists, they don't agree with terrorism. They don't get excited if people mock Islam or Mohammed. To all intents and purposes they are the same as my Jewish acquaintances. They also range from liberal to devout. The same applies to Catholics that I know, Hindus even a Jain (similar to Hindu).

I would think that most Muslims don't know anything to report. People involved in terrorist acts are generally very secretive. The number of terrorist acts is very tiny. The numbers who might know is probably even smaller. You are talking about a handful of people.

Why should it take so long to deport or lock up those Muslim clerics who incite violence, the one with the hook and one eye is an example.

Trying to get a ballance:
"Volunteers for Spanish Civil war"
Between 1936 and 1939 over 35,000 men and women, from over 50 countries, left their homes to volunteer for the Republican forces. More than 2,300 of these came from Britain, Ireland and the commonwealth, of whom over 500 were killed
How many returned to UK or how many were more villainous before or after the exploits in Spain I don't know.
But I have a "feeling" that the rhetoric from the the government and media has stimulated more "adolescents" to react by "signing" up for the excitement of taking part in a "unfair" war. (Which side is fair, I haven't a clue, neither do some juvenile "revolutionaries".)
Not thinking that the 30s and 2010s equate, or that the dangers are of a similar order, but there are similarities.
I think sometimes a few less uninformed sounds bites would be beneficial and would encourage fewer to obtain fame and fortune.
(But with media set up, ratcheting up emotions for their own profit, it will be "grin" and bear it.)
I wonder if there is anybody producing plastic mementos for yesterday yet?

There are around 2.7m Muslims in the UK. If 1,000 have gone to Syria, that is about 3 hundredths of one percent. As I said a tiny number. That leaves around 99.9% plus who would know nothing about it
