Quoting peace train:

btw At the end of the links I put the statement "People can make their own minds up" but I deleted it in error.



Dear Peace Train,
Off topic means OFF TOPIC! It does not have to be about Turkey.

PS. I meant to write "your posts are so self-righteous and dull that I think you have finally succeeded in driving me away!"....but I deleted it in error! lol

Quoting AEnigma III:

Dearest Peacetrain,
Thank you so much for revealing the untruths in the video I posted. Apparently they were all actors and the speaker was held at gun-point to utter those words. (I hear the crowd scenes are up for an OSCAR ). It was not filmed in the largest mosque in Birmingham at all, but at Universal Studies!

People who complain of "bad editing" are ones with something to hide. You can "edit" some speakers all you like and find nothing which says words like the speaker in this video.

Thank you for your application to have this thread locked. Erdem needs vigilant members like yourself to assist him in eradicating any violation of Turkishness.

(Is Channel 4 considered lesser? As far as I am aware they are subject to the same broadcasting laws as the BBC - and have won many awards for their programming)



Absolutely not considered lesser at all. It's only that I know you like to have sources quoted correctly. I can't see how the police have anything to hide. I can't see what the queen had to hide either. You know as well as I do that such editing goes on. I wasn't defending the people in the programme or the makers of the programme either. I thought I made it clear, I was not giving a view on the content, that's why I gave the example of the Queen too. My point is we need to be careful about what is posted and I gave some alternatives just to emphasise the point that argument for or against anything can be found in unlimited supply.

You are welcome to my time (if there was an emoticon for taking a bow, I would) . Perhaps you could provide me with a reference and explain to the moderators how conscientious I am

Actually, from reading your links it appears that the MAIN objection to the film was that it would "stir racial hatred" which is rather rich considering the speakers in the film are doing exactly that!

Editing is always a nice excuse peace train. Please don't try to tell me that any amount of editing could put false words into that speakers mouth, or the words from the Saudi Arabian video link. You could film me talking for 24 hours a day (a horror in itself!) and NEVER be able to put such words into my mouth by clever editing

Your point was NOT that "we need to be careful about what is posted" and to put forward to opposite view. If that was true, you would not have asked this thread to be locked on the basis of my link.

You are, like the UK establishment, carrying out Political Correctness in the extreme towards people who have no respect for YOU until you convert to Islam.

.....
So you're basically not getting it alameda. Oh well, didn't expect you to anyway.
People like you is exactly what's so evil about islam. They take NO RESPONSIBILITY!!!!!!!!!!!



Just how do you see that? Do you have any suggestions as to how to remedy this situation? Is not an understanding of the chain of events that led to it not in order?

I find it very disturbing that you think I am evil? I have not said I in any way support or condone these radical mosques. Rather, I have tried to explain the chain of events that have led to the current situation.

I have never said anyone should be forced to adopt any religion. To do so would be counterproductive. Each must find their own path.

i think i anwered ur all questions detailed,but seems you decided to think with ur prejudiced freedom&human rights thoughts??and now a bit more clear then 1-Secularism is the best system for keep all different beliefs in peace 2-To manage a country or people with religion rules impossible or not productive 3-Law rules have to be objective and its fountain must be sciencentific searchs ,and never place for any phobias on law rules 4-women have to same rights as the men since birth till to end 5-life doesn't tell same things to everyone depend their economical,social,cultural,traditional etc... positions and we have to be respectfull to all this diversities unless they don't give any harm to social order or peace 6-religion ,race,nationality,gender never a privilage reason in a real democracy 7-we all have to support all sort freedoms in law borders 8-Each culture has their own specialities ,we can crtisie all diveristies but haven't forget each culture has hundereds years backround and not easy to change some wrongs with a few words..

AEnigma,

You may accuse me of anything you like, if it pleases you. I know what I meant and I'm only sorry you didn't understand my point. I WAS telling the truth and I am NOT an advocate of extreme PC. Even CH4 allowed both sides a chance to speak when they reported the investigation on their news programme. Giving two sides enables people to make their own minds up, especially people who do not know the UK, which many people on this site don't. I don't think that is extreme PC.

I do NOT agree with incitement of racial hatred under any circumstances.

My own personal experience is that my circle of friends are Muslim and non Muslim and we frequently socialise together and have the utmost respect for each other. Nobody is trying to convert anybody.

My place of work is a multi ethnic state primary school and we regularly have Muslim parents choosing to send their children to our school from schools where there are no non Muslims. They make the move because they want their children to grow up in a multicultural environment where mutual understanding and respect is cultivated. Of course I know that this is not happening all over the country, but it's happening in many places.

Peace Train I am completely unable to respond properly to your post, sorry - I just can't enter into dialogue with you lol

You completely misunderstand my point, and you are in denial about how the MAJORITY of muslims in the UK live (i.e. a completely separate life with contempt for "westereners").Of course you have muslim friends who are not like that - so do I. I am talking about the majority here.
