Prejudice is not a joke : Comments

By Irfan Yusuf, published 12/10/2007

The parallels between the rhetoric and attitudes of yesterday's anti-Semitism and today's Muslimphobia are striking.

MAC,

Common sense is rare, dont bother wasting it on leftist bean bags like these clowns, they are predisposed to eliminating thier own kind from the planet in favour of a coffee coloured ANARCHY that will transfix all our social and environmental ills into one monumental mess that will spell the end of civilisation as we no it.

I'd like to bet that a lot of these leftist bean bags are POM's escaping little Pakistan in the Middlands and coming here and trying to tell us what racists we are, isnt that right Pericles.

Let your white guilt be your own!
Were Not Sorry For Nothing!

To say that there are similarities between the prejudice against the Jews in the past and the prejudice against Muslims in the present is just stating the obvious. All prejudice is basically the same no matter who the perpetrator is and who the victim is. Prejudice is just a dislike or distrust of people for irrational reasons. All of us have been victims of prejudice.

The real problem for the Muslim community is to deal with the fears of non-Muslim people. These fears are very real and quite rational. Certain Muslim people have been responsible for the deaths of many citizens by terrorist acts. When asked why these terrorist acts were committed the terrorists or their representatives say they were doing what their religion tells them to do. Anyone who declares themselves to be a Muslim will immediately come under suspicion of non-Muslims because they could possibly be a terrorist. It is easy to say that not all Muslims are going to perform terrorist acts and this is true but how can non-Muslims know which ones will and which will not? It is not like terrorists wear a badge or a uniform or belong to a clearly identifiable section of the Muslim community. Witness the profile of the London bombers. What was there to distinguish them from any other kind of Muslim until they had blown a train to bits and were then proclaimed to be terrorists?

Non-Muslims are suspicious and afraid of the Muslim community in general because there is always the possibility that one of them may emerge without warning as a terrorist.

Muslims are not victims of prejudice any more than anyone else. They are victims of their own choices. They choose to be a Muslim and so they will always be greeted with suspicion because from within their ranks come terrorists who strike fear into any peace loving citizen. Muslim people have two choices. They can either weed out the terrorist element from within their religious group or they can stop being Muslims - then others will stop being suspicious of them.

Let me give you this point. This world is dieing. And you know it! We need to build a life boat status we can run too. Think about this! some may think its pointless but some would think this would be the absolute way to go. If something was to go wrong with our planet whether it be by our hand or by the hand of nature, to not think upon my lines of thinking we will simply become extinct, and go the way of the dinosaurs. This planet is very unstable and all hell could break loose with any tick of time. Charles Darwin has said this "no species lasts forever". Do you really think 6 billion people is sustainable!

What we need to do is all pull together, every continent, every nation, every walk of life. What I'm trying to say is, we need a planetary, self providing and self existing, plus sustaining space station. If we build this life raft we can ensure that if anything goes wrong we will have somewhere to go. But at the moment if paleontology was to hit the fan we are just going to go the way of extinction. In global matters that's a fact. If anyone else has a better idea please put down your thoughts.

This video clearly PROVES who is right.. who is wrong..and where prejudice comes from....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOdAmGexeZ4&mode=related&search=

Seriously now.. attacking prejudice is good.. but using such an attack to mask danger to the community is another.

There is no way in this wide world that anyone is going to convince that to attack National Socialism and its followers is 'wrongful prejudice' but you can bet that all Nazis would PORTRAY it that way.

Notice how the article and the responses are not tackling this aspect.

So far all I see is 'Prejudice against Jews'.. 'Prejudice against Muslmis'.... but what about prejudice against western values and westerners.. against Christians.. etc etc ?

There is something very ominous and wierd when such things are not 'got'.

yes, Scotty

Any one who takes the moral high ground should make sure they have something to stand on. Liberal secular democracies provide, by far, the best protection for minorities and dissenters. How many Moslem shoolgirls have been murdered, forced conversions, mosques burnt down in this country? In the name of reason, Mr Yusuf should stop whingeing and drawing fase analogies!
