To be angry that parents won't allow their children to go on school visit to local mosque?

[ptangyangkipperbang]

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 .

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

'These people'

Oh dear

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

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

oh please lighten up. one persons opinion thats all

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?

Oh please fuck off.

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

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....

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

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

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...

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.

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

ha ha so easily wound up

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

yes i am off now bored with all you do gooders

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.

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

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.
