I have kids at Glasgow Uni and would much rather take the train up to see them but it is so much cheaper to fly.

Don’t worry. I’m sure that they have factored that into their passenger projections.

No my perception is around men. Do you think that non Muslim rapists hold women in any higher esteem than Muslim rapists? It is an issue around gender, not religion. The far right seize on the religious aspect of it as it suits their purpose which is to demise foreigners. The far right make a much bigger deal out of sex crimes committed by foreigners. Yes there is an issue with Asian rape gangs. There is also a bigger issue of non Asian sex offenders. Every day hundreds of women are sexually assaulted and raped but they either don’t report the acts or don’t follow through with a prosecution because they are intimidated by our own criminal justice system. Surely this is equally deserving of our outrage? But apart from the occasional media report, no one really cares other than the victims and their friends and family. An Asian gang rape is much more outrage worthy than the far greater number of solitary rapes that are carried out every day. Why? Because they are carried out by “foreigners.” If they groom and rape 20 girls you will hear about it. If during the same period 100 solitary non Muslims rapes happen, you will not know about it. That is not unanimity. A rape or sexual assault is far more likely to be carried out by someone the victims knows than an Asian gang. We should be just as outraged with that. Oh, and I don’t follow a Tommy Robinson or any other right wing nutters on social media. Unfortunately these people spill out on other forms of social media, yes, even here. I didn’t even know who Tommy Robinson was until I read about him on a thread here.

I agree with your point about having sex with under aged girls. John Peel, David Bowie, Bill Wyman, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and many more famous people from the 70’s have all had sex with under aged girls yet they are still seen as heroes. Ok for some and not for others?

No ambiguity? Why then does a Muslim rapist get more grief than a non Muslim rapist? I don’t see Tommy Robinson standing outside the court when alleged white non Muslim rapists are being charged. Kiddy fiddling has been going on for years and is still going on for years in the Christian church and is still going on. Would you say that the outrage shown is on the same scale? Of course there is ambiguity. Muslims are told they need to do more to stamp this out in their communities. Fair enough, but you don’t hear the same said about sex crimes committed in non Muslims communities by non Muslims. There is a clear prejudice against Muslims just as there is against Jews from some quarters. The difference seems to be that anti-semetism is seen as bad whereas Islamaphobia is seen as more acceptable. And before the usual suspects get all offended you only have to look at the last election where Corbyn got grief for the anti-semitism in the Labour Party yet the same outrage didn’t occur for Johnson for the Islamaphobia within the Tory Party.

You clearly didn’t read my post where I said that terrorists should get life sentences?

White blokes do groom and rape people. It is sickening whoever does it. Why do you right wing types feel the need to twist someone’s words? Just trying to cover up your prejudices I guess. I will ask the same question I asked the other Muslim haters. Is a Muslim rapist worse than a non Muslim rapist? If so, can you tell me why?

Yawn

If I have a problem it is that I do not see a difference between a Zmuslim rapist and a non Muslim rapist. Neither do I see a difference between a Muslim murderer and a non Muslim murderer. If that makes me in your eyes not very bright, fine. I’d rather be not very bright than to judge someone differently just because of a religion or the colour of their skin.

I made a comment about the type of posters on a twitter feed. They didn’t have to respond did they?

I wondered where Turkish got his information from so I googled it and was directed to a twitter feed. If that makes obsessed so be it. There were a number of unpleasant responses by people many of whom had Union Jack flags along with their names so I commented on it. Funny how you right wing types get all sensitive over something apparently so unimportant whereas I am obsessed. I am not a betting man but would happily have bet my mortgage on the usual suspects tripping over themselves to respond.

And while we are at it, in your opinion is a Muslim rapist worse than a non Muslim rapist?

Let’s approach this from a different perspective. You say that youR wife has Muslim relatives. Are any of them or their friends rapists or terrorists?

I don’t follow anyone.

Once again you make something up to deflect from your own prejudice. All I have ever said is that all rapists are the same and being a Muslim does not make them worse. I have never said that the West caused them to be rapists. If you are going to take some kind of right wing agenda high ground get your facts right first.

I think you are becoming senile Whelk.

I don’t do Twitter but I have just read a Twitter thread about this. Are all Twitter users homophobic right wing reactionaries? It was like stepping back into the 70’s.

Which means what exactly? That mankind has always been an inherently species but those nasty Muslims came along and changed all that. You seem to be the one ignoring the specific’s, like how the West’s intervention in Middle Eastern affairs has had a knock on effect on our streets.

What on Earth are you prattling on about? Are you a parent? Don’t all parents want to be proud of their children and how does that work for them if their children end up maiming and killing people? Perhaps there are some that think “that’s my boy” if their child beheads someone, but I am guessing that parents living in mixed racial UK would have a problem with that. I know you Daily Mail readers might be hard of thinking, but try to put yourself into someone else’s shoes for a change.

He has made some appearances from the bench in the last few games but wasnt in the matchday squad the other day. It didnt say if he was injured on not.

Ramirez scored 2 goals in Sampdoria’s 3-1 win. Yoshi on the bench and didn’t get on.

Weren’t Everton in the same position recently?

Don’t know for sure, but there must be some kind of building regs that govern leg room? I am 6ft tall so not huge, but have always had trouble with stadium seating and leg room on planes. I don’t know if they go for an average leg room?

Which is what it all comes down to. We have never been and never will be a peaceful species that can cohabit without doing dreadful things to each other, no matter what label is put on a particular tribe. The only upside is that we are constantly trying to find ways to finish ourselves off before the sun burns itself out and will probably succeed. Happy days.

I’ll retract my comments about his wife having just seen several of the newspapers front pages.
