Ok, let's get explicit and honest statements from Shaf, because FD thinks he is hiding his true feelings. In Fight Club FD claimed that you are anti-Semitic and a terrorist in a suit. Ooh, a survey - just for me. :oops: Shaf, are you anti-Semitic? Do you wish all the Jews were wiped out? Hmm. 1. I ...

shafique

Thanks for answering Shaf. It is exactly what I thought after reading your posts over the past years. If some posters were in doubt about something you said in a thread they could have asked for clarification, but they seem to prefer to read their own interpretations into some of your posts. You're...

I totally support all the efforts to cut off funding to extremists - be they the racist EDL or wannabe Jihadist groups. But when it comes to real terror attacks, show me the stats. 99 real bombs in Northern Ireland is an official police statistic - that's a real threat. Imagining that the numpty jih...

shafique

Hey - welcome back Bushra. I like the analogy of the fishbone... I do seem to be a thorn in the sides of those who don't like facts being stated simply (and accurately). When it comes to different opinions over religion, political theory etc - my stance still is to respect other viewpoints and to st...

shafique

Agree with all the above - yes, I do think the increasing commoditisation of s3x is a sign of moral decay, yes I agree with herve that prostitution is rife in some Arab states (and I'll take it that there are 'real' stats which back up his claims), and agree with kanelli that tackling the demand fro...

shafique

I understand the belief that the thread from Jihadist numpties is the most serious terrorist threat in the UK. I just point out that the stats tell a different story. This is not to minimise the good efforts to stamp out the numpties and wannabe numpties - more power to these efforts. In a way, I'm ...

shafique

The official statistics have really nothing to do with me - so I wouldn't call them 'my statistics'. My point is that there were 99 real bombs made by UK terrorists last year who were not Muslim - but the perception is that Islamic terrorists pose the greatest threat. Has the United Kingdom kicked o...

shafique

:) I guess I was too subtle. NI is part of the UK. I referred to the threat of terrorism in the UK. Your question is moot. Why change the goal posts? I've been referring to terrorism threat in the UK (and previously Europe and USA) - and quoting stats relating to these incidence rates. (And besides,...

shafique

Well, there's a clear prediction from Dillon - Palestine won't be recognised by the UN unless there is a significant change in the mindset of Palestinian Arabs. Perhaps you're right - but the momentum seems to be behind the Palestinian diplomatic efforts, with only Israel and the USA it appears who ...

I can't argue with 'Mr Spock's' logic! ;) It's only logical: Mr. Spock supports two-state solution for Mideast peace by Haaretz Service http://www.haaretz.com/polopoly_fs/1.366475.1307411047!/image/2739535082.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_295/2739535082.jpg Leonard Nimoy.

Different plan, different opposition I'd say. The original plan had Israel taking up 55% of pre-1947 Palestine, the current plan has Israel keeping 78% of the pre-1947 Palestine. The non-Israel part of Palestine was therefore 45% and is now only 22%. In 1947 the Arabs objected, now it is the Israeli...

shafique

The last time I looked, Sym wasn't Palestinian - and as for the partition of Palestine being 'democratic' - that's a bit of a stretch of the imagination... but hardly worth taking the bait (take note Sym)

Mr Spock and his logic is unassailable.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

^Sym - I agree with the government initiatives to work with the Muslim citizens in the UK to combat extremism. It compliments very well other initiatives. Indeed, young eh - back when he called himself 'ikka', highlighted an initiative by British Muslims who took out adverts in Pakistan to educate t...

shafique

Sym, I'm not Palestinian either.

Dillon - I admire your spin and chutzpah. I guess by extension the annual UN resolutions against Israel's occupation are equally democratic... which brings us back to Mr Spock's conclusions, not only is it logical, it is democratic too!

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

shocking stuff. Clearly, not everyone making the threats were arrested:

shafique

Shafique, the problem is that SOME of those Muslims in the UK, coming from different backgrounds, got the wrong idea of practicing religion. They got the wrong religious education I'm more than sure. Based on Islamic judgement, those "ignorant Muslims" are actually the wrong ones! They ei...

Worth a bump - given the recent Fifa ruling on football attire.

Exaggerating the threat from these numpties by Islamophobes (by and large, they are numpties - and thank God for that) is a different matter. Cheers, Shafique But the threat from Islamic Extremists still remains to be the biggest threat to the security of Great Britain today. http://www.homeoffice....

shafique

Dillon - I've mentioned quite a few times in this thread that I support the Prevent strategy. I haven't labelled it as Islamophobic - but applaud the efforts to eradicate/mitigate/lessen the chances of numpties being tempted to carry out 7/7 type attacks. The Home Office site says the risk from Inte...

shafique

I couldn't see anywhere where the author said the numpties were Al Qaeda crack troops. Note that even the numpties in 'Four Lions' were 'inspired by Al Qaeda'. The statistics speak for themselves, that is why I give them more credence than 'interpretations'. 99 real bombs does make NI terror threat ...

shafique

Four Lions is certainly a piece of fiction - and very funny too. Fortunately they also are far more 'successful' than the real-life numpties we've been seeing so far in the UK in the past few years. My point has always been that 'phobes have over-active imaginations too - and the only cure for that ...

shafique

:roll: I support the Prevent campaign - and by definition it is targeting the numpties in the Muslim communities in Britain. The separate issue is whether this means (in of itself) that the biggest threat of terrorism in the UK is from muslim numpties. The stats suggest otherwise - 99 real bombs fro...

shafique

And indeed, if we take Likud's constitution (Article 1b) at face value - it claims that land east of the Jordan river as part of 'eretz yisrael' - and Likud is part of the Israeli government! I suspect that those ugly chanters in the video above support this aggressive view and are amongst those Isr...

shafique

Haaretz has released 'secret cables' which detail Israel's plan of attack to the diplomatic efforts at the UN. They seem a bit paranoid to me.. but you be the judge. http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/haaretz-exclusive-secret-cables-show-israel-s-battle-plan-over-palestinian-un-bid-1.366852 T...

shafique

Israeli human rights organisation, B'tselem provides a handy source of facts for the curious - including the numbers of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces and the numbers held hostage (including children!) under so-called 'administrative detention'. Just the facts, no hype. : http://www.btselem.o...

shafique

LOL I can only imagine the comments if I didn't support the Prevent campaign! The numpties are the wannabes who can't actually construct working bombs like the Irish terrorists who managed to construct 99 of them last year. I think it is a good thing that the wannabe jihadists are thus far so incomp...

shafique

:) You and your 'beliefs' again. I haven't qualified my support of the Prevent policy in anyway - so I'm not sure why you seem to think I have. Pointing out what the statistics of actual terrorists acts are is not a criticism of the Prevent policy. But seriously, let me ask the simple question again...

shafique

^err, I don't think it refers to angels, but rather 'pure companions'.. .and the 72 virgins thing is not in the Quran. Hazelton summed it up nicely in the following (well worth another listen):

Actual terrorist attacks attempted. Respective counts.

99+ vs ?
