Really good post. There needs to be an acknowledgement from governments that there are specific problems- some of which you have outlined- that are specific to Islam and many of those who follow it. Countering the issues you have outlined with" yeah well other religions have problems too" just isn't going to cut it any more. When these issuee are acknowledged and dealt with than I believe that many of those who are currently voting for populist parties will go elsewhere. The longer these problems are ignored or everyone is called racist, the more popular these parties will get. I hope it is dealt with sensibly by mainstream politicians because I don't think it's in anyone's interests for these fringe parties to gain power.

You've based your view on your own bias that conflated any sort of criticism of Islam with hatred of all Muslims. You're intellectually dishonest and not worth bothering with except to counter your blatant lies. I categorically do not have an issue with all Muslims and I absolutely condemn anyone who says that all Muslims are terrorists. Unlike you I have friends and family members who I love who are Muslim but I am glad that my wife is not a practising Muslim - chiefly because it would have been unlikely that she would be allowed to marry me. She agrees that she is incredibly lucky that her father was not a hardline Islamist, thankfully her dad loves Britain and the opportunities it has offered him and his family and he has never stopped her from experiencing life in the west but sadly not everyone is so lucky.

How do we know that's what he was doing? I can't see any indication that he was insulting him.

He's not being hailed as a great talent but he's been way more deserving of an extended run than someone like redmond.

Why would he not be happy? He's proved the manager wrong and shown his value in the process. It's a fantastic reaction imo.

That's true but I'm just happy to revel in a win for now. Should stave off relegation talk for a while at least.

Play romeu or lemina not both. Boufal instead of romeu for now should improve things.

This half hasn't been better it's been pretty poor.

Sorry but I'm at the game and that's bullsh*t. Thought we actually created some chances for once and played pretty well even if we didn't score. Starting to think it may be worth the price of a ticket which is a big improvement from previous games. It's jot like we are getting hammered - imagine being west ham! We can win this in the second half. I believe!

Disgusting. I hope they are prosecuted fully. That sort of violence if that account is true has no place in a civilised society.

Easy to snipe but what specific views of Sam harris or nawaz do you disagree with? Much easier to laugh at political commentators rather than to look at their conversations critically and think about what they are saying. Besides, my opinions are much more closely aligned to Jordan Peterson than anything specific to Islam.

What rot. Just because I prefer that my wife isn't a practising Muslim doesn't mean I have an issue with all Muslims what sort of idiot logic is that? I support the views of some practising Muslims who want a reformation within Islam and believe that more needs to be done by other practising Muslims to root out problems within their religion. I'm agreeing with Muslims who have written and spoken extensively on the subject. Islamaphobia is a nonsense fabricated word routinely used to silence anyone who criticises Islam. I reject its use completely. As to Sour Mash and his extremist views, I have continually said I disagree with much of what he believes albeit I support his right to hold those views because I believe in freedom of speech even for those views that I dislike or find hateful. It's only you that have invented that I agree with Sour Mash or that I have shied away from criticising him- I have not and there are plenty of examples in the thread if you want to go back and check. Kindly show me where I have attacked people who have supported non extreme Muslims? I already told you I support ex abd current Muslims who support a reformation and who call on other Muslims to do likewise. If I had an "issue" with Muslims as you put it then why would I wholeheartedly support these Muslims? Why would I have very warm relationships with my wife's relatives? Of course you choose to criticise a narrative that you've invented in your mind but the laughable thing is you don't even know any Muslims. As usual, try to base your responses in reality and respond to things I've actually said rather than things you think I may have said. I know it's a challenge for you but you'll get there.

I don't have an "issue" with Muslims. Again, you are conflating me with Sour Mash- two individual posters with differing opinions. Kindly stop doing it because it makes you look foolish.

The non alcoholic beer in the ground was cr*p

Let's remember also the rumours of players being unhappy too. I'm sure that had a significant impact even if it doesn't suit the narrative of how disgusting all our fans are.

Christ you're like a dog with a bone. People have a difference of opinion to you shock horror. Everybody understands you think that sacking puel was a horrendous decision whereas others disagree. Let's move on?

No.

So it's something work bearing in mind considering the poster in question has been seeking contentment through saintsweb

It's not going to make you less depressed...

No idea maybe you should aim that question at those who are saying that. The only beef I ever had with him was his interviews talking about players staying and then selling players afterwards. I don't have an extensive knowledge of people who do the same job as Reed but I imagine when he does leave we will do our homework and hopefully get someone in decent. I will say though that I think if he was ultimately responsible for the last two managerial appointments then he has messed up a bit.

And Woodward.

Let's be honest no one on here really knows his credentials. We have zero idea what decisions he has or has not been personally responsible for. Personally I wouldn't be pushing for his removal because I don't know what financial constraints he has been under.

Pretty much this. No one was begging for stuart gray to be given more time when he was clearly out of his depth. Like you I'd give him a bit longer but when nothing has changed from last year then what is the point in persisting?

I think the worry is with how easy our start has been, we could easily be sucked into a relegation scrap.

Edit: double post.
