I am sorry Sour Mash, you seem so entrenched in your hatred of Muslims that you don't seem able or prepared to accept that actually most of them are decent people and those who are British along with those who come here from abroad help to enrich our society. You asked earlier if I had a problem living with a mosque on every corner etc. I have spent three very happy holidays in SW Turkey and I can tell you now that I would quite happily retire there. The people were incredibly friendly and couldn't do enough for me and my family. It was a pleasant change to be in a place without religious bigots. We were welcomed into mosques and couldn't have been made more welcome. Oh and we spent some time seeing how they made their famous carpets - you know, the carpets that many people in the West like to buy and use in their homes. Just one small thing that muslims have provided us with to enrich our lives. I bet even you could come up with other things if you really tried!

Oh dear. I didn't write anything idiotic. I posted an argument about Islam and Racism and asked if you hade read it as you seem to think they are separate issue. You clearly didn't understand what I was talking about because you completely ignored the article and went off on one about, I assume, reading the thread. Not my fault. Read it yet?

Let me help you out here - immigration has been going on since time began and if you read any history you will see quite clearly the benefits that migration has had for virtually everywhere in the world. There was a very interesting programme about the Vikings the other night and how important their migration was to the rest of the world. I cant be arsed to talk about one set in isolation because the UK has benefitted from so many migrants over the years...Celts, Angles, Saxons, Vikings, Romans, Normans, Eastern Europeans, Africans, Asians etc. To say that Muslims (in all their racial incarnations) have not benefitted the countries into which they have moved is nonsense. Once again, you are confusing a small percentage of nutters with well over 1 billion peaceful people.

It isn't my fault you couldn't understand what I was talking about. I get a lot of barbed responses from you because you seem to have issues. Read the argument yet?

Let me get this right, you really don't think that we have benefitted from Muslim immigrants, or any other migrants come to that?

Yes I do realise. I also realise that it is a Hate Crime in this country if you slag off someone because of their RACE and or RELIGION. Yes I do think Islamic culture is a good thing. Not just for Western Europe. You need to divorce Islamic culture from the nutters who use Islam to excuse their barbaric behaviour.

Ok so help me out here. Is it okay to hate a religion but not ok to hate a race? Or are they both as bad as each other?

Muslim rape gangs? Surely you mean rape gangs?

I waas talking about the article I posted re racism and Islam. You are very touchy aren't you.

Did you read the argument? Religionist, Islamophobic, Racist, whatever you want to call it - I think we all know what we are talking about here don't we?

1. If you bother to look up the term racist you will see that it can be used as a term for those who are phobic about religious groups too. Either way, you are clearly Islamophobic so I don't see why you are getting so upset about a word. 2. Really don't care. I chose to live where I feel most comfortable and that doesn't include worrying about what the "predominant culture" in the area is.

http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2016/02/why-we-should-thank-immigrants-for-raising-standards-in-our-schools/ This is for you and Batman as he seems to have a big problem with immigrant too. I couldn't find the article from the Mail last week but this will do to be getting on with.

As I said, the term racist is often used in this context. Your are "racist" against Muslims even if they aren't technically a "race." So what do mean in your second question? Like do I think people would be happy if their town or city would be taken over by Catholics, or Methodists, of Protestants, or Mormons?

Then that makes two of us, because my recollection is the same as CECs. You clearly have a major problem with Islam and many people will use the term racist. Even if that isn't technically correct the term is often used in this context. Either way Sour you come across as being extremely Islamophobic and I am sure I have read a post or two from you asking what positives that Muslims have provided for our society.

No matter what kind of diversionary tactics you use mate, you are very clearly Islamophobic.

I didn't have a problem with him as a player but think he is not well suited to the Premiership.

In which case we both found them very easily then didn't we. I'll stop my racist jibes when you stop behaving like one. The number of those going to fight for ISIS is minute compared to the number of Muslims who chose to live in peace. Or don't you get that?

Do we know he was taken off because he wasn't fit? Perhaps it was just a tactical move?

We didn't lose because of tinkering. We lost because Long was injured and we were unable to put our dominance to better use in the final third.

http://www.m-a-t.org/ I could go on Batman but I have better things to do than to spend all day proving a bigot wrong.

Well you really cant ne trying very hard. It took me about 10 seconds to find this. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/5917267/british-muslim-youths-voice-outrage-of-isis.html There is plenty of other stuff if you could be bothered to look, but as we know, you don't care very much for "foreigners."

It is a squad game now and there are few teams like Leicester who have managed to luck out this season and haven't suffered with lots of injuries and suspensions. Nothing wrong with picking a specific team to do a specific job other than if you lose (no matter what you do) there are some who will think you don't know what you are doing. Clearly the injury to long wasn't helpful but Austin was meant to be a stellar signing and what has he done when he has played so far apart from the first touch goal? Is that Ron's fault? You may think he is a rubbish manager but I think he has done a really good job since he has been here. If we were Villa I might agree with you.
