To think the Manchester terrorist attack today shows the growing Anti-Semitism

[Longingdreamer]

... and how Jews are not protected in this country.

Don’t tend to segregate themselves?
London Islamic School, Jaffaria Academy, Jamiatul Ummah School… to name just 3…
According to Google there are over 184 Muslim faith schools in the U.K.
That’s far more than the number of Jewish schools (136).
And whilst we’re talking about “segregating themselves” which you clearly use as a slur, there are around 2169 Catholic schools in the U.K. Do you claim that Catholics are segregating themselves? There are over 4630 Church of England schools in the U.K. Are they also segregating themselves?? Is it only a slur in reference to Jewish schools?!

Why can’t those of you wanting to demonise an entire group - be they Muslims or Jews see that YOU are contributing to the hate out there?

By posting your hate filled comments you are emboldening nutters like this and making such horrendous events more likely.

It’s not fucking rocket science!

By that logic the Zoroastrians deserve that land.

Obviously not ALL Pakistani Muslims here are bad. But it IS a huge problem. The grooming gangs are still going in now in several places. Over 1000 children were abused. These men were offering the victims to huge numbers of other Pakistani men to rape. There must thus have been huge numbers since these 'clients' have not ofc been imprisoned.

It's not just about crime but about community tolerance of crime. The groomers were afraid their peers would be angry they'd slept with a white person, not that they'd abused a child. Not enough Muslims are tackling these cancers. I respect people like Shabana who do, a lot.

Islam isn't a race. It's a religion.
I have a phobia of the religion.
Tell me which race of people I'm ostracising?

It’s a fundamentally antisemitic argument because the Jews of the world get blamed for the Israeli government that we have nothing to do with. Some of you seem to think this is a justification not an explanation.

This

There is a huge amount of hate towards Muslims, Huge.

I'm dismayed by the use of 'left' and 'right' in this argument.

Very few people on the left support terrorism. Radical far left maybe, but 'the left'... no.

Many people on the right abhor the actions of Israel in Gaza. Many British Jews abhor and condemn the actions of Israel in Gaza.

Vast swathes of people on the left and the right condemn both Islamophobia AND anti-semitism.

This isn't left v right, Labour v Reform, Pro-Palestine v Pro-Israel.

It's terrorism.

Most of those schools accept non faith pupils too.

It's more complex as most Muslim schools are not as good academically so non religious parents don't choose them. Others may be worried about extremism.

I have no doubt they were. But were all Irish? Or all Catholics? Because that’s the equivalent here.

All Jews being conflated with the genocide.

All Muslims (and to some extent all brown people) conflated with the murderous extremists.

Shame on you. Xenophobia. Bigotry. Call it what you want 🤷🏻‍♀️

Your comment isn’t worth a response. As a Jew I am horrified at this. Shame on you - 2 innocent people were killed by an Islamic terrorist today. Call it out or eff off with your racist “Zionist” rhetoric.

Agreed. Do people not have diversity in their friendships?

I’ve found that when you talk to people of different faiths and backgrounds, you find there is much to have in common than not.

On Sky News, it was good to see the Muslim leaders showing solidarity with the Jewish community.

@HavingYouTubeDoesntMakeYouAFilmmaker so you are ignoring my questions?

You clearly have misunderstood my original point

The Finsbury Park Mosque. It was an identical attack, against Muslims.

Some Muslim schools talk about welcoming non Myslims though. I suspect many non Muslim parents would appeal also due to potential language issued if pupils might generally speak a language their child doesn't.

This.

How the hell can you say that? There is a whole race of people being starved and wiped out. What way would you describe it???

we don’t hate on all Germans. Or all Sudanese for the current genocide in Sudan…. Or even all Muslims for the genocide in Sudan

Islamist extremism willcontinue to grow as long as extremist Zionism continues to attempt to ethnically cleanse a Muslim population. As long as the western allies continue to support this, there will be continued risk of terrorism

This is just abhorrent and comes across almost like a threat.

Oh fuck off

You need help with that phobia. Islamophobia isn't rational or healthy, and living your life full of fear and hate will limit you. I haven't read the full thread so I don't know whether you have had an encounter with one Muslim that has led to this extreme fear, and if you have, I am very sorry for that - but holding every member of a faith responsible for the actions of a few is not a healthy response.

Just like holding every member of the Jewish faith responsible for the actions of a few is also deeply unhealthy.

A war

@Jujujudo it's a reductive argument because that's what the far right argue.

GB.

I am well aware of the history.

Don’t assume everyone on the internet is uneducated. That’s foolish.
