Should have put this in the 'religion' thread.....but never mind eh?

who is he?

Not sure mate, the link was sent to me by an American friend of mine over here.......gotta admit though, the guy in the vid does have a point.

[Mr Ed]

He makes a lot of valid points. Wonder if Boris will be any different to Red Ken.

[Jason James Gairn]

He makes some valid yet obvious points IMO. BUT he makes some very bigoted ones too. Particularly about the mosque. Is Westminster abbey a massive faith based building? I wouldn't want to say no to British Muslims when the apathetic Christians of London have such a huge building already.

Unlike the man in the film I don't fear Muslims. I do fear hatred, violence and terrorism. these things belong to all faiths and all races, and to some extent to a greater degree. The SAS were training the Khmer People's National Liberation Armed Forces how to plant land mines in paddy fields to have the greatest effect on the population. That's terrorism right there, sanctioned by the British government. The terrorism of Tony Blair in the former Yugoslavia and Iraq is well documented. I could go on but the point is made. this man should be campaigning for peace and love not encouraging the divisions that already exist. He's no doubt a member of UKIP or the BNP a Daily mail reader. please ignore his polarized tabloid politics.

That's an excellent post Jason.

 

From an American who wears the scars of terrorism disguised as awards for service, all sanctioned beliefs use the power of influence from fear and concerted efforts to "appease" or "win the hearts and minds" of people elsewhere, or differing beliefs, is no different than a training camp for Al Queda hiding in Pakistan.

 

When nationalistic pride or ecumenical emotion is co-opted to further the efforts, one can see how easily we fall victim to supporting terror. There's no difference from wearing a backpack of explosives into a marketplace than dropping a democratically elected village mayor out of a chopper at 5 thousand feet - or poisoning rice paddies with Agent Purple - all to make a point. Here we documented our government sending smallpoxed blankets to Indian reservations late in the 19th century, precluding what we like to think was an inexcusable event on 9/11/01. What we haven't done was admit the action, Bin Laden had the honor to usurp us.

 

No, religion's history is cause d' effect of violence and wars, the larger the following the easier it's been to let blood help it's growth, having the gift of thought has only been an obstacle, to be punished so no one else can question God's "authority".

Yeah coz they have huge churches and cathedrals on every street corner in Pakistan and Saudi, those muslims are just so tolerant of other faiths in there own countrys....

 

 

90% of the general public agree with this bloke! hopefully some day we'll get a leader with a backbone, a person who will take the power away from the liberals and straighten this pathetic country out!

[Lee Winger]

Well well! not a single church in Saudi Arabia http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7302378.stm

 

They have churches in Pakistan , but they tend to get burned down http://hem.passagen.se/dpaul/

 

Oh they do that in Turkey as well http://www.compassdirect.org/en/display.php?page=news〈=en&length=long&idelement=4620

 

 

 

Oh dear Vicars are attacked in Bradford and churches set on fire by moslems http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/1640518.stm

 

 

How very tolerant!!

[Dean Lofthouse]

That is one gripe I have, that Mosques now outnumber churches in a lot of areas.
