spooky3 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 In general bad - riots tend to imply zealotry and extremism which tends to put off the sane and stable majority. That's the thing, over the last three riots i've lost empathy for them each time... I'm sat now watching some moron smashing the windows of the supreme court!

Mecky Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 It doesn't matter if they are good or bad, what matters is it's happening now and people will stand for what the believe to be right; nobody ever wins an argument. It was expected to be honest and there are going to be a lot more shortly and not just from students either. You can only push people so far before they begin to fight back.

That's exactly right these politicians have caused the violence by there own actions just like in Iraq and Afghanistan and 7/7 then they like to shift the blame onto Muslims or in this case Students.

That's all your sort can do is throw labels around because you can't argue against the facts. I am Muslim I'm neither extreme nor anarchist.
