Does Sheffield Forum reflect..

[donuticus]

its the same "****" bashing thats gone on since the 70s

 

It just seems so much more vociferous now though.

[uppercut]

I don't think "Sheffield" as a city is like this. I see the city as a welcoming, tolerant & accepting city compared to others parts of the UK. Yes, you get your odd numpties/group who are anti blah blah "blame them for everything yaaada" but like with everything else they are a minority thank goodness & not everyone else thinks with such negativity or hatred.

 

such people are a minority in most parts of the uk however I'm interested to know which other parts of the uk you refer to as less tolerant and welcoming?

I think Sheffield is far better than the Barnsley's and Rotherham's of this world but what you've got to remember is Sheffield is in an area of the country with a higher than average level of ignorance and bigotry towards ethnic minorities in general. I do not live in Sheffield anymore and I'm not from there originally but went to secondary school and college there. It's not the most Islamaphobic or bigoted place in the uk but it definately has an irrational fear of anything ethnic minority especially Muslim.

 

Yeah, that'll be why there are all those mosques in sheffield including the massive new one with the two minarets and the huge green tit on it. Because we're all primed to kill on sight if we see a muslamic.

 

Ingrate.

people like you only reinforce the stereotype. Most urban areas of the uk have Mosques and although Sheffield doesn't have edl and mdl clashes and riots and rarely makes the headlines for this type of thing it definately has an irrational fear of anything ethnic minority especially Muslims. Some of the places that make the headlines do not have that irrational fear they have a small group of extremists coming to thsoe places to stir up tension and disrupt the multi cultural multi faith atmosphere which exists there. Places like East London Luton and Birmingham are prime examples.

So places that do see clashes between the EDL and others are not big nasty racialist horridnesses, merely the victims of far right and islamist random targeting of their oasisis of calm tollerance?

 

but Sheffield which by your own admission has not seen any such nasty behaviour by either the far right or islamists "definately has an irrational fear of anything ethnic minority especially Muslims"

 

Lets be honest, you're a chippy little bigot aren't you?

Your post sums up your problem.

 

You should not expect respect.

 

Your should earn it.

Did you fart or is it the stench of yer bile?

 

 

Now...as you agreed earlier. BE NICE

It is a shame critiscism cannot be levelled at Islam/Mulsims without it being "Islamophobic". There have been plenty of threads in which Christianity and theists in general have took a kicking, yet none of that is ever given a "Christianophobic" or "theism-o-phobic" tag. I can only assume this is an attempt to stifle legitimate critiscism and debate about one particular faith, whilst the othersare seen as fair game.

You're being a little ungenerous scuba.

 

As a subject matter, anti Muslim threads are easily the most prevalent in the General Forum, many of them conceived by people with a vexatious agenda and based on untruths or half lies.

 

I could count the number of positive threads about Muslims, or started by Muslims and telling lies in order to promote Islam on the fingers of one hand, yet we hear all the time about how they want to Islamify Britain, well its only been Christians of various hues and persuasions who've ever banged on my front door on a Sunday morning trying to convert me to their lifestyle.

Another muslims are hard done by thread (rolls eyes)

..........And soon we'l not be facing East when on the throne anymore:

 

 

An ODA spokeswoman confirmed that a 'percentage of general toilets would not face Mecca' out of sensitivity.

She could not say how many toilets would turn away from the East.

 

 

So what? Seems quite reasonable to me.

 

You'll notice that the Daily Hate Mail, as usual, isn't in possession of the full facts here, but still feels this constitutes a 'story' - because that's what racists like 1ofTheseDays want to hear.
