If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends.
You talk to your enemies.

Quoting peacetrain:

It's 3 years since the 7/7 atrocity in the UK.

Has this sensless and disgusting act by so called Muslims (many will say that committing such an atrocity is not the action of a Muslim in the true sense of the word) and the ensuing way the media reports on Islam, caused mistrust/prejudice/hatred towards Muslim communities? And has this, in turn, led to Muslims (most of whom are peaceful)retreating further within their own communities and mixing less?

Two issues here:

1. For you they are "so-called Muslim", but for them and some others they are "true" Muslims. In their minds what they did was an act of faith and I don't think you should dismiss it simply by saying that this is not - in your understanding - a "real" Islam.



Yes I say "so-called Muslim" because I believe the moment they planned and did what they did they ceased to become Muslim. I've no doubt they thought they were Muslims, I'm not disputing that. My own opinion though is that they are not and they damage the very faith they commit atrocities in the name of. And of course there are those non muslims who will never ever choose to believe that the terrorists are not true Muslims because that wouldn't fit in with their own agendas.

These are my views and they obviously differ to yours, so we better recognise that now and leave it at that. As with other threads here, this could run and run in circles.

Quoting Catwoman:




Keep in mind that lying doesn't count:

[i]"And then we have quite a few Muslims whose statements in private or when they are among people they trust, fully contradict their statements to reporters from Western media.



And of course that makes all Muslims liers. Lovely.

Now, let's not go off topic, if you don't mind

Of course one of the precursers to the "chav" was the "Essex Girl"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essex_girl

A negative portrayal of females again.

"Essex Man" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essex_man

So what terms (to describe certain sectors of society) are used in your country?

I think it's a little sexist to single poor Vicki out. I can't find a male comical chav character, but these videos may redress the balance a little:

Fast forward 30 years . . . I wonder if a Chav will ever reside in Downing Street (address of British Prime Minister for those not familiar with UK)

Well said Canli. It's like being on a merry-go-round but not so merry.

I have an idea, how about each thread has a limited life of say 100 posts. It would be fun to see how the debate developed and who managed to get the last word in.
