Deceased Forum?

[Harbal]

Because he is virulently anti Israel .

I suppose I've got a disapproving attitude towards Israel, but that is nothing to do with Jews or Jewishness.  It's because of the country's conduct, nothing more.  I don't know enough about Jews to have an attitude towards them, and I imagine a lot of people are in the same position.  And I wouldn't just assume that even an Israeli citizen was a supporter of their government's policy towards the Palestinians.  I don't even know how you would be aware that someone was Jewish unless they told you.  I'm not aware of knowing any Jews personally, but I could well know them without realising it.  I really don't understand this anti semitic thing; I just can't see any reason for it.  If Azz does have a thing about Jews, that is just another reason among many to dislike the tw&t.

I liked the member from Hull on that forum.  For the life of me I can't think of his name.
He got banned.


Wish he'd join here...

There is no rationality to antisemitism .
As you say unless Jews are wearing some obvious sign of identity and most do not how would you know ?

Can you think of any clues to help identify him, other than Hull??


Meanwhile, I miss Lionqueen and Longdogs, amongst others.

I don't suppose there is.  Just like there's no nationality to racism, Islamophobia, homophobia or bigotry in general.

[Muddy]

There is one heck of a lot of rationality in Islamophobia.
A phobia is a fear and it is only common sense to be afraid of Islam .

He was banned, apparently, so that probably narrows it down to a few dozen.

I miss Realspeed and his garden.  I would like to think he also misses me.  🙂

I've come into contact with quite a few Muslims over my working life, and not one of them gave me the impression of being dangerous.  You seem to assume they are all religious extremists.

[Muddy]

No I do not .
I have lived and worked with Muslims most of my working life in Islamic countries .
The people there were like people everywhere some good some bad but mainly pleasant .
But knowing pleasant seemingly mild people means very little .
They are irrelevant .
Not every German was a Nazi but they still caused and fought in WW11
Not every Japanese was a cruel sadistic murderer but they still committed terrible atrocities for the sake of an ideology .
And so is it with Islam .
It is a medieval reactionary brutal ideology .
Look what it has done to it to its own people , it own women in places like Iran and Afghanistan . And more nearer to home Pakistan .
Thousands of Pakistanis live in the U.K. and many have all the cultures morales of their home country .
Those who are not afraid of the rising power of Islam are fools .

Words that are likely to provoke hostility towards Muslims simply for being Muslims are also spoken by fools.  They are just making things worse.  Like it or not, we have to coexist with these people.

Didn’t Lionqueen have a terminal illness? And was she on here?

[Dextrous63]

I think you’re talking about Bathsheba, Jazzi.

Queeny lost her father (IIRC), and she sort of fizzled away from the forum after that.

[Dextrous63]

Carol, was it Floydy you were referring to?

Oh possibly, yes, seem to remember that now, about her dad.

No they have to co exist with us and whatever other land they invade but this is not the intention of Islam it is a proselytizing religion that seeks to dominate .
