Soldier butchered in street in Woolwich

muzzies - racist, just thought I'd point that one out.

That is not racist. It is a shortened term for muslims. If I meet someone called Robert, and I call him Robbie, does that mean I wish he was dead or that I hate him?

Stupid fucking world is so politically correct now they are frightened to offend anyone. They're just words people, get the fuck over it already.

and Paki is?

....also not a racial slur because it describes people from a certain country and not people of a certain race

[El Kabong]

why does everything have to be taken as a racial insult? You PC Nazis need to chill the fudge out. Yes I just called you a PC Nazi.

A word with an extremely ridiculous amount of power. Yeno if someone looked at me and called me a horrible ginger bastard, do you think I look at that guy and question if he hates ginger people? No, because I'm not so pathetic as to be overly sensitive about an adjective.

Getting back on track; this sort of thing is another reason why Muslims need to sort their Islamic laws out too as well as stopping future terrorism so that we can start to see them acting as they preach, a religion of peace.

well you go shouting that round Bradford and see how far that gets you

It's not about being PC anything, it's about acknowledging that words are loaded with meaning and if you're so ignorant to wilfully ignore that..

Miles,Kirkland,Lyle,Vendettos,IamInuit,Andre, etc. Who the hell made two British born people spokesmen for Iraqi or Afghan civilians ? By their actions they have shown a breathtaking arrogance, self righteousness and callous ignorance of anyone's suffering and took it upon themselves to be the very embodiment of evil. They should bear the responsibility for what they have done, not innocent Muslims or British Citizens. They wanted to butcher an unarmed man to death on the streets and in doing so should have forfeited any right to a voice. Trying to imply that their predictions of a war on British streets between scum like them and everybody else is imminent or in some way justifiable is playing right into their hands. They are a shitstain on the arsehole of history not a turning point or a call to arms. Common criminals,and murdering scum nothing more.

Well done Kirkland in making excuses for the cowardly barbarous murder of civilians. You can't legitimise 9/11 by saying killing civilians is the fault of anyone but those who carried it out.

I'm not making an excuse for anything or trying to justify anything.

Let's say me and you are going to a football match. We're seated outside a pub before the game enjoying a glass of chilled chablis and watching the world go by. On the other side of the street X, a big bugger in stylish blue polyester, is walking down the street. Y, a smaller man clad in red ployester, is walking the other way. As they come up to each other X punches Y right in the dish. Y falls to the ground, gets up, takes a knife out of his pocket and stabs Y with it, killing him instantly.

Now lter we're talking about the incident. I say to you that if X hadn't punched Y in the face in the first place then he'd never have been stabbed and killed. I might also comment on the nature of violent acts begetting further violence. I see this as reasonable speculation about the incident and violent acts in general. Neither of these two arguments negates the fact that the stabbing was a reprehensible act of murder, excuses it or justifies it in any way.

" And it's that kind of thing that pisses Muslims off and causes them to bomb your skyscrapers, sporting events etc."

Those people had an agenda. That agenda was not to draw attention to an injustice suffered by innocent civilians at the hands of indiscriminate carpet bombing by allied forces. Their agenda was the propagation of extremist ideology and the glorification of violence. So clever is this agenda that you and thousands of well meaning people like yourself have now been used to propagate it. To call them Muslim, and this is where both you and Lyle agree, is to further heap insult onto the civilian victims of extremism who would not raise their hand in violence.

Miles who like yourself, I would in many instances defer to as having superior knowledge on politics, economy and history comes to the same conclusion as you and it surprises me considering his distaste for religion. These same religious extremists are often responsible for agitation and the escalation of sectarian violence within Muslim countries. Their war is not just with Britain,America and the West but with moderates in their own countries who would condone the mutilation of women, the burning of books and the execution of ethnic groups they deem to not be pious or totalitarian enough in enforcing their own twisted brand of religion.


If we are really interested in justice then how hypocritical is it to enjoy the benefits of living in a flawed but basically decent democratic society and then turn our eyes away from those whose own liberties are trampled on by despotic leaders who seek to persecute and wipe out those who seek nothing more than the human rights we hold dear ? You can pretend that the Iraq war was all about Oil but that is a gross over simplification and misrepresentation of a conflict prompted by much more than that and at it's heart represented a universalism and willingness to stand alongside others who wished for nothing more than the opportunity to aspire to liberal ideals.


The Left has let down many oppressed people in these conflicts by deluding themselves into thinking that groups like the Taliban can be reasoned with or that the victims of such nutjobs should be allowed to remain subjugated in order to ease their own uncomfortable feelings about the harsh bloody realities of liberation. I say this as somebody who I consider to be way farther to the left than either yourself or Miles. Pacifism does not work and the kind of socialism that busies itself only with the interests of it's own members due to something as arbitrary as nationality is acting in a far more self interested way than the most hard hearted of Capitalists.

Getting back on track; this sort of thing is another reason why Muslims need to sort their Islamic laws out too as well as stopping future terrorism so that we can start to see them acting as they preach, a religion of peace.

How is what happens in Saudi Arabia getting back on track ? Saudi Laws are Barbaric and there is no justification for that regime or the laws that govern it. If people in SA or the UK choose to use a weird perverted form of Islam to justify themselves carrying out the most barbarous of acts then what more can moderate Muslims do but condemn it vocally and vehemently oppose it ? I don't doubt that there are many who feel fully justified in exploiting a religion for their own twisted agenda but I will not pretend that it is OK for them to use it as an excuse to hide behind. Religion is poisonous. It relies on hypocrisy to rule people by fear. All the way back to Moses this is evident, in that immediately after declaring one of the ten commandments was "Thou shalt not Kill", Moses instructs Aaron, along with the sons of Levi, to take their swords and slay everyone who worshipped the calf, that Aaron a son of Levi, had made.

The only way to way to combat irrational hatred, depravity and barbarity is to reject the Idea that God, or anything that People claim he said, is in any way relevant to the behaviour of human beings. It's not an excuse, it's not a reason and it sure as hell is not a defence for things that society and individuals know to be innately wrong.

They are the lowest of the low. Scum.

Yeah and the ironic thing is that you said the words were and I quote "racist" when in fact Islam is a religion comprised of followers of many races and Pakistan is a country....this whole "words are loaded with meaning" bullshit is just for people who are looking to be offended by something. My advice to the PC Police is to grow the fuck up, it's childish to run around offended because someone called you a name....go back to kindergarten if you want to be offended "Teacher, teacher, little Billy called me a name!" why don't we just dial 9-Wah-Wah and get the Wahmbulance out for you bunch of God damned sissies.

[El Kabong]

If Paki is truly a "racist" term then Missy, miles, and Kirkland at the very least should be banned for all the horrible things they've said about Americans.....how's that suit you morons?

It is a racist term and has been used by far right thugs in attacks on anyone who looks Asian, Indians included, so it can't really be compared to terms for Americans who come in all colours, shapes and one size. Xtra large.

Agreed it is an offensive racist word but if anyone called me that then they would not get any reaction from me because that is what they want to see.

[Dark Lord Al]

I don't see how Brit is short for a Britain .
However Paki is short for Pakistan , but to call a Brit British isn't racist , but to call a Pakistani a Paki is racist ? Who makes up these rules , fucking stupid if u ask me , one rule for one , one rule for another.

In case you are wondering , and start to call me racist , my nephew is engaged to a girl of Punjabi stock , and we are great friends.

I just think as a country we have become to politically correct , madness.

The offensive word has been offensive for years, so do not tell me you are surprised. You say that to your nephews girl and you will see.

and thank god we can go back to calling niggers, niggers again!

[Spicoli]

I remember as a kid someone telling me being called "colored" was much worse. Of course I wouldn't know, I'm just a inbred cracker. Paki sounds similiar to the way Jap was thrown around, minus the world war and shit.

You do what you feel like just if you're going to be offended (and you are, bless your stupid little heart) then at least attempt to understand the difference between religions, nationalities, and races before labeling something as "racist".


Maybe I should help you understand what it's like when people are reading between the lines of everything you post looking for insults that aren't actually there.

You spelled God with a lowercase 'g', that offends me and every other follower of the Judeo/Christian faiths....you bigot! I'll continue just until you have walked a mile in my shoes.
