DaveK Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 As soon as the 'muslim' word is mentioned thats it... I could go on, but i've lent out my soap box!! Yes - but equally, as soon as he expresses an opinion on a muslim related thread, a lot of people immediately have a go - even when other people have expressed exactly the same view in the same thread. I'd suggest some people are already on their soapbox when it comes to anything muslim. If I was him, I'd also have issues with some of the attitudes on this board.

Think it was the sarcastic attitude that started it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Not a forum for 'freedom of speech' then? You want freedom of speech then start your own forum, debate and racism always seem to run close together on these threads and when its the mods that have to pick up the pieces and do the bans then we prefer to stop it before it gets too far. play nice people otherwise the thread will get binned off.

DaveK Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Oh dear!! I'm curious - what do you think was wrong with the statement? Maybe it's just me - but although I don't dispute the fact that most of the terrorism in the UK is carried out by muslims, several comments in this thread do seem to head in the "all muslims are terrorists" direction, which is not quite the same thing.

jamesmark Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I'm saying nothing more on this subject in case I get banned. Wise choice. Constructive is the key or walk on egg shells, not so much with the mods to be honest. Good plan. Nothing like having polarised views and then being afraid to stand by them. I just think it may come down to some things cannot be said, as it is a quieter life to silence the views of the majority or even the minority whichever.

JB Yes I do...this topic is close to alot of peoples hearts and minds at the moment... I agree that there is no room in society for any kind of racial hatred or abuse. However, whenever the minority are brought into question, the racist card is soon waved. The sooner this Country wakes up and unites, the sooner we can kick terrorism out!!

The sooner this Country wakes up and unites, the sooner we can kick terrorism out!! always nice to see the BNP making a policy statement on the forum. Just had a look back through all your previous posts and Im not that pleased with what I see. I would suggest you choose your answers carefully and maybe avoid threads where your views may be miscontrued as being racist. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 The sooner this Country wakes up and unites, the sooner we can kick terrorism out!! I personally see that as being racist. You are saying that the country should unite against the muslim terrorist threat and to do that you want to kick em out and rebuild Hadrians wall!! how do you suggest we identify them outside of them being muslims? You have questioned moderators decisions in the past. If you feel you want freedom of speech then you need to find a different forum more to your liking. I have asked you nicely to behave yourself. I tend not to ask twice. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 How odd. Imi simply seems to be agreeing with these two comments : Exactly why is he on his soapbox and Phoenix / Charlotte are not? Good grief, I didn't say anything about muslims or anything... I made a comment about the fact that could it be a conspiracy that we are now at higher state of alert.... Not at any stage did I mention ethnic origins or anything. Chill people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the point I was making - I know you didn't. Charlotte agreed with you - as did Imi. But because Imi is muslim (I assume), suddenly people interpret his comment as something different.

Branners Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 plainly there are, but my point is that this is NOT a forum for discussion about how to eradicate the terrorist threat. All discussions around the terrorist threat head down the same route and then we have to spend time sorting out the pieces and putting in place bans when people over step the mark. Peoples comments get taken out of context (exactly the way I decided to take your comments) and it carries on from there. I have had exactly the same sorts of discussions with other members when the racism card is played. Theres an interesting mix of people on the forum, dont ever expect their views to be the same as yours and dont be surprised if some of those views appear extreme. This is not the place to discuss them though. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
