WeX Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Come on, the march organised by a Muslim group attracted about 30 people. Are you including the press in that too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such things need to be done publicly. As for the organisations mentioned in the second link, they are not representative of the mainstream, being UK government funded, and hence, influenced.

ghost rider Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Why do we appear to be not getting anywhere in the fight against radicalism.Somebody will say we are but i have not noticed this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeX Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Oh come on, if I wanted to be pedantic I never mention state sanctioned execution but lets not go down that road as we can pic the nits for the next hour, or can you accept the point that if it is the countries political policy is not to give homosexuals any legal rights, in a country so violently hostile to homosexuals it is a de facto death sentence to be actively homosexual. OK, so what is apparent is you cannot be wrong and when you are you will not accept it and try to move the goalposts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Yes! I would! They need to disassociate themselves lest their silence be taken as tacit approval, if not more. ---------- Post added 09-06-2013 at 21:12 ---------- Heart-warming. I didn't see any of the Irish or Roman Catholics people I knew standing on the rooftops making sure everyone knew they didn't approve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was in public - there were cameras recording the condemnations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandr Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 But it was in public - there were cameras recording the condemnations.No, it was in front of cameras, i.e. stage managed. Not in public. And really, I meant in a public place, where the public can and do go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 OK, so what is apparent is you cannot be wrong and when you are you will not accept it and try to move the goalposts So you'd prefer to spend you time picking the nits, or maybe it's more about scoring the points?

WeX Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 I didn't see any of the Irish or Roman Catholics people I knew standing on the rooftops making sure everyone knew they didn't approve. BELFAST, Northern Ireland — Several thousand Catholics and Protestants united in a silent protest Wednesday against the Irish Republican Army dissidents who have put Northern Ireland on edge — and its peace in doubt — with deadly attacks that have left three dead since the weekend. More than 2,000 people gathered at lunchtime in front of Belfast City Hall to register their protest against Northern Ireland’s worst dissident IRA violence in a decade. Thousands more gathered in at least three other cities, including predominantly Catholic Londonderry and Newry, where dissidents have been active. http://tucsoncitizen.com/morgue/2009/03/11/111919-n-ireland-in-silent-protest-against-ira-dissidents/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
