mattlollar Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 So I am sure everyone heard about that crazy guy in Florida, which funnily enough is where I am from, Terry Jones. Yah, he is the pastor who was going to have a public burning of the Qur'an until he was talked off the ledge by the public, media, president, etc. Well, I was stood outside Highfield Trinity Church off of London Rd on Friday as I am a professional photographer and have a small office inside the church. Highfield is not the church I attend but simply work from. After only just arriving a taxi which was full of what I think to be Pakistani Muslims men drove past and started shouting and swearing at me because they assumed I was a Christian like Terry Jones. Some of the worst things you could have heard came out of their mouths. The funny thing about it is they then parked about 200 yds from me, all got out in their muslim dress and went around the corner to the big mosque for prayers. Well I would just like to say a couple things about all this. 1 - Not all Christians are psycho's who would openly like to offend millions of other people just as I don't believe those men represent all Muslims or Pakistanis. 2 - Not all Americans are psychos and like to start wars. So I guess the lesson is, before we assume the worst about people because of what other people from the same race, religion, sect, neighborhood have done, think again!

They probably didn't like their wedding pictures mattlollar! Sorry couldn't resist that, it's inexcusable behaviour. If you'd had your wits about you, the police would have been interested to receive a complaint and follow it up via the car registration number.

kipper Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Sorry to hear of your ordeal I dont think it will be on Sheffield Forum for long though as they dont allow anything that is anti Christian or anti white to appear. I saw a runner heading towards a dead end on a long road so I told him about a path that comes off near the end. He started swearing and signing at me various numbers of fingers where he didnt get to three. I think there must have been something wrong with him mentally and just come out with it. Maybe these fellas you talk of have the same affliction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 It's all very sad, isn't it? When I am proclaimed God (or Allah or whoever) I will immediately ban all religions on the grounds that they have caused more death and misery than anything else known to man, including sex and money.

I think you meant to say 'anti Muslim'? Threads of that nature are ten a penny here, so not sure where you get that idea from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also, muslims have a "habit" of blowing stuff up but you don't see us going to their mosques and abusing them do you? :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js2012 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 They probably didn't like their wedding pictures mattlollar! Thats right. Make light of it.

boyfriday Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Oh please, the police wouldn't have done anything. How do you know that? The fact is until you make a complaint and an audit trail is completed you'll never know what the police might have done. And also, muslims have a "habit" of blowing stuff up but you don't see us going to their mosques and abusing them do you? :hihi: No, of course we don't, this from the 10th September- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8247718.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
