And another: "the left has a narrative for people like me; I'm the victim. I've been through the stuff that the left says people go through that makes them a victim- I've been through violent racism, I've been arrested at gunpoint at 15 and racially profiled. I've. Been imprisoned in the war in terror, I've witnessed torture. I am a brown Muslim and everything they say should make me a victim has happened to me but because my conclusions don't concur with their preconceived ideological script, suddenly my voice becomes illegitimate and it's incredibly patronising and colonial if you think about it."

Best part of that interview around 27 minutes: "the regressive left, you claim to care about Muslims. I'm a Muslim and downplaying the extent of this problem is only making them suffer even more. We've got to accept the level of the problem we are dealing with before we can begin to tackle it. We are faced with what I call a global jihadist insurgency frankly that's what it is and no amount of lying and pretending will change that we see it as clear as day in front of us. Somalia, Nigeria enslaving women, Syria, Iraq enslaving women. It's undeniable and any attempt to deny it can only be ideologically driven." There's a few on here who have some ideologically driven beliefs who would rather deny that this has anything to do with Islam even when more moderate Muslim voices like Nawaz say that the link is indisputable and that to deny the link does more harm than good.

I'm not reading all of that drivel. In the meantime, here is an eye opening video released today. Everyone who doesn't fancy being a close minded idealogue should watch it.

Answered on a number of occasions on here as you are fully aware. Search for it and it can be easily found.

Would be nice to get a couple of high value players of undoubted quality in rather like we did with players like vvd and mane. DM and a goalscoring midfielder are priorities for me.

Odd response. I dare say she's done a darn sight more than anyone else on here to combat the poisonous aspects of islam and at great personal cost to herself.

Why does calling for an end to apologism and the refusal to articulate the problems equal in your head support for bone head racists? I suppose your the sort who would call the likes of Sam Harris or Douglas Murray racist. Why are you so desperate to play the racism card? It does you no credit at all.

And as a very wise person said, a nice quote for soggy that demonstrates why his attitude of essentially ignoring the problem and refusing to recognise it for what it is actually does more harm than good: I cannot emphasize enough how wrongheaded this is. Withholding criticism and ignoring differences are racism in its purest form. Yet these cultural experts fail to notice that, through their anxious avoidance of criticizing non-Western countries, they trap the people who represent these cultures in a state of backwardness. The experts may have the best of intentions, but as we all know, the road to hell is paved with good intentions

You're pathetic. I have said numerous times on this thread exactly what I mean and yet you continually misquote me or make up things I have said because you have already made your mind up that you consider me a racist who has a "thing" against Muslims despite not being able to present evidence for this claim. You're a joke.

Lots have challenged you. Most gave up quite a few pages ago though because they no doubt realised that rather like Sour Mash, it's virtually impossible to have any sort of meaningful conversation with a close minded idealogue who seems most at home within their own echo chamber. The amusing thing is that you criticise Sour Mash without realising that you are the same as him, just on the other end of the political spectrum.

Why do you think you have been challenged so frequently?

I think wingers who aren't much cop for finishing are fine. As long as we get a goalscoring midfielder in the vein of sigurdson we will be fine.

Not sure what your point is.

I'm intrigued by this thread but simultaneously I have absolutely no idea what it's about.

Was it a Britain first fan? If the article is to be believed, the perpetrator has not been caught yet so how can it be established if this is a terrorist attack or not yet? If he had shouted somethibg like death to all Muslims then I absolutely agree it is terror related but it appears that the reason they are not treating it as one yet is because there is no suggestion that it is terrorism related other than the attacker being white abd targeting a darker skinned person. Acid attacks are cowardly and disgusting acts by the way and I hope the person who did it is dealt with swiftly. Edit: just seen they are looking for some Britain first thug. I expect once they catch and arrest him they will concede it was a terrorist attack. The authorities are pretty cautious about labeling such things early on unless its cut and dried like some of the stuff we've been seeing recently. Regardless, it's horrific and monsters like this bloke - if it was him who did it- need to be prevented from this sort of thing with just as much strength as Islamic fundamentalists should be combated.

Hold on, what exactly are you comparing here? The far left have been responsible historically for more deaths than the far right though in truth both ideologies are equally reprehensible. Nowadays the far right is mostly fringe groups widely condemned as racists who are a bit of a joke. The problem is that many get confused by what the far right actually is because idiots are so quick to label any dissenting voice a nazi or a racist. You understand that "Kek" is not actually racist right? The far left are in my view much more of a problem particularly in the west since they have infiltrated positions of power within many learning institutions and businesses. Members of BAMN and antifa have been arrested recently for arson and assault, people have had their heads cut open by bike locks swung by professors, been shot and heads have been caved in by these thugs.

Would you consider antifa liberal? Or BAMN? Or black lives matter? The authoritarian left is just as bad - if not worse- than the far right. The rest of your points aren't worth addressing because they have either been debunked in this thread before or you have just written stuff to try to get a rise from me.

Fair enough. The points it makes are still very fair though and worthy of discussion.

A really interesting article from a Liberal site that everyone- particularly people like soggy- should read: http://nypost.com/2017/06/30/the-tolerant-left-has-no-problem-bashing-those-who-speak-out-against-muslim-extremists/amp/

What sort of weird world do you come from where not wearing a tie equals a lack of professionalism? It's football ffs not dining at Buckingham Palace.

[emoji23] what on earth are you talking about? Some right nutters frequent this forum.

I didn't believe that but then someone showed me his belt buckle and it suddenly became so obvious.

It's bizarre. A thread about terrorist attacks is in soggy's world not allowed to discuss the biggest cause of these attacks (Islamic extremism) and their followers without first discussing every other criminal act committed by a non Muslim just in case people forget that non Muslims commit crimes too. It might be useful to use a disclaimer at the top of the page like "everyone posting here acknowledges that terrorist attacks and many other crimes are committed on a daily basis by people of every faith. Discussing the problem of Islamic extremism and the many attacks committed by these people does not change this fact." Maybe that would keep him quiet for a bit but I doubt it.

Thanks. I'll have a look at that and ask elsewhere.

I have an event that requires a sign up that I am advertising through Facebook. It requires a fairly simple landing page with a few details on it that I don't have time to create. I just wondered if someone capable fancied the job off here before I go to look for a media company- shouldn't take more than a couple of hours and I'll pay obviously. Let me know.
