PetitFilou that is one of the most stupid and ignorant posts I have ever read on MN.

PetitFilou · 26/05/2013 08:58

limiedperiod, obviously the people involved know better than to say explicitly the attitudes that are revealed implicitly by what they do say.

Clearly the real perpetrators here are people who can't spell on FB, probably because their school's resources were being focussed on 'English as a foreign language'.

Meanwhile the MC mums (who didn't go to that kind of school), would be joining in the calls for deportation or capital punishment, if only it turned out the Islamic warriors had emotionally abused their wives or gone to strip clubs.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 26/05/2013 08:59

That is the second most.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 26/05/2013 09:01

dear god petit .

EduCated · 26/05/2013 09:11

I'm not MC or a Mum. So you can stop musing about me, dear.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 26/05/2013 09:13

Can now imagine Petit's FB posts Wink

limitedperiodonly · 26/05/2013 09:20

You've spelt my name wrongly just to get my middle class, Fairtrade goat haven't you, petitfilou?

I'm not rising to it Grin

PetitFilou · 26/05/2013 09:20

EduCated I never said or implied that everyone MN was.

I said 'the middle class women on this site' not 'middle class women on this site'.

Look it up dear.

EduCated · 26/05/2013 09:28

I thought it was fairly implied.

As is the fact that this is a vile, horrific thing to have happened. Can you point out to me where people have said it is forgivable? This thread is simply calling out the racism that's sprouting up left right and centre in the wake of the murder.

namechangeofshame · 26/05/2013 09:43

Ignoring Petit as my brain won't decelerate that fast...

Squeaky very interesting post and actually totally agree up until the point he lost me...

*Now Islamic prayers have been introduced into Toronto and other public schools in Ontario , and, yes, in Ottawa too while the Lord's Prayer was removed (due to being so offensive?) The Islamic way may be peaceful for the time being in our country until the fanatics move in.

In Australia , and indeed in many countries around the world, many of the most commonly consumed food items have the halal emblem on them. Just look at the back of some of the most popular chocolate bars, and at other food items in your local supermarket. Food on aircraft have the halal emblem (see the attachment), just to appease the privileged minority who are now rapidly expanding within the nation?s shores.

In the U.K, the Muslim communities refuse to integrate and there are now dozens of ?no-go? zones within major cities across the country that the police force dare not intrude upon. Sharia law prevails there, because the Muslim community in those areas refuse to acknowledge British law.*

The halal emblem is on not as an appeasement but as a sales tactic and working in the meat industry this media belief of all meat being halal is total bollocks. In fact anything with "Quality" connotations is definitely not halal as it ruins the taste of the meat.

There are no "Islamic prayers" that could possibly be introduced unless the population of the school was taught Arabic as standard, you cannot translate, change or write islamic prayers, they are set.

I don't believe there are areas where the police won't go if necessary or where the law of the land doesn't always come first if and when necessary. They may allow Sharia courts to discuss things like divorce and community issues, and these courts may take place secretly without ever informing the authorities but no non-islamic government is going to nod sagely and say "yes you can try that murderer, no worries we won't get involved".

Finally unlike Japan, Germany etc, Islam isn't a country to rise up under the power of one government, we will war with islamic countries but unlike the pope, there is no one "leader" of Islam. There is no head to the snake so there can be no total conglomeration.

On the flipside of that we must remember that all muslims are muslim first and their nationality second. However they also have individual beliefs and as the presence of muslim soldiers, policemen and politicians shows they will live by their belief of their religion, not by the dictat of fanatics.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 26/05/2013 09:44

Of course noone defended the murder.

Petit is either being really unbelievably dim or wilfully disingenuous.

Just out of interest, has anyone got any Experimce of reporting racist stuff to the police?

I reported a sickening tweet yesterday using an online form provided by the Met Police. Just wondered if anyone knows how likely they are to act on it/contact me about it?

Phew that was gone quickly

EduCated · 26/05/2013 10:17

Oh. Wow. I literally have nothing to say to that, apart from the fact the a lot of it is calling out racism, because unfortunately many of the people I've seen have been too cuntishly thick to distinguish between race and religion.

EduCated · 26/05/2013 10:18

Did I just imagine that?! Confused

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 26/05/2013 10:19

Sadly not, I saw it too.

Anifrangapani · 26/05/2013 10:22

Having read the whole post I can't see where anybody has said anything other than the act was deplorable. At no point has ther been an iota of sympathy been expressed towards the perpertrators. What there has been is a lot of people saying that the anti muslim backlash is unwarranted and mis guided. And this backlash seems to be taken up by uneducated people on facebook, with some often repeated vox pops on the rolling news channels.

KateBeckett · 26/05/2013 10:23

Oh dear lord petit I don't even know where to start...

I personally want the suspects to be treated in hospital, so that they can be put to trial and answer for their crimes. I am assuming that they wanted to be shot and killed considering the way they charged the police, but I would rather they were tried and convicted. Also, you do realise that doctors, paramedics etc dont get to choose who they treat?!

As for comparing islamophobia with feminism... The mind boggles. It truly boggles Confused

Anifrangapani · 26/05/2013 10:23

Well that learns me for writing a wordy reply.

limitedperiodonly · 26/05/2013 10:32

Drat! I missed that. I bet it was very inciteful Wink

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 26/05/2013 10:41

Yes..I suspect we may not hear from that poster again

namechangeofshame · 26/05/2013 10:41

Ok pm with what that was please!

LadyBeagleEyes · 26/05/2013 10:45

That was the quickest deletion ever.
