milquetoast1 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) The title could more accurately include the word "Some". Yes, perhaps. But the irony of listening to various Muslim community "leaders" complain on the News that the entire Muslim community has been tarred, whilst simultaneously claiming to represent the entire community and calling for the entire community to boycott the police, was not lost on me.

Andy76 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 It must be very annoying for normal muslims to have all these self appointed 'community leaders' claiming to speak on their behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they think if you are going to treat as one we will act as one? I'm not sure what this will achieve but I can understand their anger, as much as I can understand other peoples anger over the original abuse in the first place. Nothing good will come of any of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 As a community leader for Sheffield forum (self designated), I want to urge everyone to not be a d!ck. No specific time or place, just all the time. If you can manage that, then the world will be a better place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exxon Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Not a punchy title though. ---------- Post added 27-10-2015 at 10:46 ---------- Where did you get this from, just out of curiosity? It was on Look North yesterday. The guy from Rotherham Muslim Community Forum Alliance called on muslims to boycott co-operation with police. So I'd say a pretty influential muslim compared to the guy who runs the kebab shop. Edited October 27, 2015 by exxon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowfealt Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) The top cop and the head muslim agreed to talk things through, live on radio sheffield today. Excellent result. Let them sort it out, and this thread be closed in the meantime so as not to derail any sensible solution.

mort Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 That is a very sensible suggestion. Thread closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
