That's the problem though, there are people out there eg. BNP and EDL members/voters with half a brain. Look at my first post of the thread, it started when I questioned the use of a phrase, which I genuinely didn't know to who it applied to, Muslims as a whole, which would've been racist, or...

If that's true, that's the backlash I was on about, and also a terrible crime that will no doubt only increase divisions in society, a dark day.

What a load of bullshit this is, you simply do not know what you are talking about, this thread moved away from the crime in question long ago and it wasn't me who took it of into another direction. A) I said that the crime was disgusting, I don't know why people are missing this. B)...

We do though. You seem really nationalistic, why don't you mention the English Civil War amongst things we should celebrate, after all, that was a great moment in our history, like the French have their Revolution as too with the Americans. Much better sign of national pride than St. George's...

Interesting question, yes and no. I didn't think he should reintroduce private property, although it was inevitable because it was a state capitalist economy but his reforms of restructuring the state are what I believe in scrutiny of government, pluralism and democracy free and fair...

On Gorbachev in what way do you mean? I haven't really studied Russia in depth past the revolution, accept I have read Trotsky's critiques of Stalinism and I know a bit about Stalinism (considering I haven't done it at school) but past WW2, I'm no where near as strong, I'm aware of Glanost...

It's publicised at the anniversary of when it happened, what do expect? It to be thrown down our throats every day in the paper and on TV, that doesn't even happen in the USA.

We do remember 7/7 anyway, hence there being memorials and TV shows once every year since it happened, so that point is incorrect. Out of curiosity, what evidence do you have that suggests this.

Such a sweeping statement, in what way? On a lighter note, I got a better quote for your signature ;)

Unfortunately.

It's always a small minority.

That post was directed at a comment about 7/7 being on par with 9/11, which isn't really, so I don't know where this comment has come from.

1) The damage had been done 2) I never said the UK or USA targeted those countries because they were Islamic 3) Hence there are also terrorist plots in other countries, and I think UK and USA were biggest contributors so it seems obvious that we'd both get it. 4) Amateur mistake, I was just...

That's not as relevant now, if anything the Zionist movement has intensified the feeling in the Middle East, the long term issue for this, and short term has been the gulf wars, I'd be pissed, as I'm sure much of us on here would be if foreign troops were in the UK, it gives the extremists an...

And those 'terrorists' who did that are in the 1% as well - does that make it better? It doesn't to me.

Stalinism isn't socialism, Marx/Lenin would be turning in their graves if they were to visit DPRK or state capitalist countries such as China or the former USSR. Well, I must have received those traits from my Britishness then.

India and China aren't Muslim countries and you explicitly said that 'You are an ill informed fool all Christians in muslim countries are a persecuted minority', where's you examples of what you say? You also conveniently ignored the part where I clearly said it has happened to all religions...

Did you miss the 'which has spread part'?

Doing their jobs? Some are, some aren't, but some servicemen have committed war crimes and your comments are terribly ill-informed. http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2012/mar/29/afghanistan-british-army-crimes

So the Iraq and Afghan wars have nothing to do with the growth of extremist Islamist groups in the Middle East, which has spread.
