Exclamation A Debating Point

Hi Everyone

Came across this and found the content extraordinary and a trifle worrying:

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=418_1176494781

I will point out that I do not agree/disagree with the views and content but found it thought provoking and, hopefully, an interesting topic for debate in the Forum.

What do Forum Members think?

Well I'll say this: the only time I've ever had a knife held to my throat was by a lebanese person, in high school no less. So I'd really like to know the statistics of reported violent incidents specifically involving muslims, in relation to the total population represented by a "multicultural" society.

And I will say that he'll have a lot of angry muslims on his tail. I definitely wouldn't have the balls to say that and broadcast it over the internet!!

The only time I had a gun held to my chest was by the IRA in Catholic Rep of Ireland so that proves!!!!!!!?????
The man on the Video has a right to say it but broadcasting his views i think makes you party to them, I think care is needed

I said I'd like to know the statistics. I didn't say it proved anything.
I see you've changed your name to troll! LOL.

Wonder where that idea came from


For over two years i have had a very good Turkish friend who is Muslim. We have enjoyed some good times together and even though he has now moved back home we keep in touch regularly and I hope we will meet again and maintain the friendship. He is not at all like the way the man on the video described "muslims" and a number of friends he introduced me too were also very nice people. it is always dangerous to generalize about people especially those in other cultures that we really do not understand.
I am sure the common people of Afganastan and Iraq hardly think of the "Christian" country America as being peace loving!!

His rant started OK with a point I agree with - that religion is treated with exaggerated respect. But then he went of on a tired road of misinformed sarcasm and I tuned out.

On some points what the Koran teaches and the way that some fanatics interpret it are quite at odds.

I was also not so happy about him saying about the muslims looking back at this time like the Germans looking back at Naziism and laughing at it. I don't think so
