DS2 is going on a school trip to the local mosque. However, the school nearly cancelled it because so many parents have refused to let their children go. I have only spoken to one parent who won't allow her child to go but she said "I'm not racist but...why should they visit a mosque when we daren't get a plane or go to a shopping centre because of that lot". Not racist .

Just to reawaken this thread (sorry but I missed it yesterday evening).

Hippychick - a lot, but not all of the people who lost loved ones in 9/11 do bear grudges and they have a reason to, but you refer to Muselims initially and them Muselim extremists - 2 very different sets of people, under one broad banner.

Not all Muselims are terrorists - and not all terrorists are Muselims. Going back to the 70's/80's when we all lived in fear of IRA bombs - did you hate the Irish then?

Your attitude frightens me, and while people have opinions such as yours, however entitled you are to them we will never, ever have any peace.

isn;t a troll someone who you suspect is deliberately stirring up trouble for a laugh? Disagree with lots of people (saldy pretty publically recently) haven't called any of them a troll before

Desiderata · 12/07/2007 20:08

Hmmm .. without making comment on the particular subject manner (it bores me), it would seem that a troll is anyone who doesn't agree with you.

hippychick1971 · 12/07/2007 20:02

yes i am off now bored with all you do gooders

aloha · 12/07/2007 20:02

Are you going to fuck off back under your bridge now dear troll?

hippychick1971 · 12/07/2007 20:01

ha ha so easily wound up

hippychick1971 · 12/07/2007 19:59

any life taken by what ever means, or by what ever religion is terrible and the person should recieve the appropriate punishment.

we are in the grip of terrorism at the moment and the laughable thing is these people killing live and work in this country yet hate it and all it represents.

Kewcumber · 12/07/2007 19:59

yes ALoha agreed. Got to go feed myself nothing left for the hungry trolls.

Kewcumber · 12/07/2007 19:58

of course it a wind up - beleive me. Unless they are allowing wireless mobiles into secure units!

Sorry ALf - freedom of speech and all that...

aloha · 12/07/2007 19:58

Probably time to stop feeding the troll.
At least we now know to when 'Hippychick' turns up again.

lol - I think Alf is still reading the post running his/her finger along the screen...

KTNoo · 12/07/2007 19:57

I totally agree with freedom of speech but there's a difference between that and just being offensive. I am seriously wondering if this is genuine now....

aloha · 12/07/2007 19:56

God, not you KC, but you know that. I was adressing my comment to the neo-nazi troll.

aloha · 12/07/2007 19:55

Oh please fuck off.

Kewcumber · 12/07/2007 19:55

I think they feel anguished that their loved ones were killed, the same as anyone who is murdered. Do you think it is more painful to have a member of your family filled by a muslim rather an atheist or a chrsitian or jews then. A report in teh papers a few months ago said statisically more serious crimes (rape murder serious assaults) are committed by people who considered themselves to be christian than of any otehr religion or even no religion. Do you think that is a comfort to theor victims? That they were victims of a christian crime?

hippychick1971 · 12/07/2007 19:55

oh please lighten up. one persons opinion thats all

aloha · 12/07/2007 19:54

Hmm, either new or simply a troll. Inclining towards the latter atm. Either way, just fuck off and stop polluting the site.

hippychick1971 · 12/07/2007 19:53

no offence taken you are entitled to your opinion its called freedom of speech. something we seem to be losing

Troutpout · 12/07/2007 19:52

'These people'

Oh dear

KTNoo · 12/07/2007 19:51

(rather hesitantly enters "discussion")

No wanting to kill the debate, but apparently there is a Christian minority where we're going, although not sure what that means in reality. I don't like the phrase "live like them" though - what's that supposed to mean?

hippychick1971 · 12/07/2007 19:51

the people killed on 9/11 how do you think their families feel about muslim extremists?

Kewcumber · 12/07/2007 19:51

KTNoo - it depeds which moslem country you are going to. I sent 3 months in Kazakhstan and it was easy to find churches of all denominations in most large towns though synagogues probably only in the very large cities. They are extremely proud of their tolerance towards other races and religions and in fact have a public holiday celebrting the diversity of cutures in the country. We could learn a thing or two.

And meandmyflyingmachine, of course its a wind up - unless hippychick is Alf Garnett in thinly veiled disguise. Sorry hippy didn't mean to offend you with refernces to veils

aloha · 12/07/2007 19:50

"These people"? You mean everyone with a different coloured skin to you.
I find you utterly repulsive. I sincerely hope you lose your job. You are not fit to hold it.

meandmyflyingmachine · 12/07/2007 19:50

Which people? The Hindus/Muslims whatever?
