Quite a vivid question put by a presenter on BBC this weekend.
Are radical Muslims the new Nazi's ?
(Obviously, not ALL Muslims, just the few radical ones)
I watched the disturbing pictures this morning of around 200 Iraqi soldiers who were captured by ISIS whilst in their barracks. They were then all butchered.
The depravity of mankind seems to be bottoming-out with the atrocities committed in the name of religion, and in particular, Islam.
As Britain, (formerly, Great Britain), tiptoes around human rights, and swerves racism, and allows Muslims to wear full face-masks, not just in public, but in airport departure points, (something that wouldn't have been tolerated during the decades of IRA activity) Isn't it time to marginalise the radical groups/individuals ? In the IRA case, Britain even used internment. But how do you combat an enemy, who have largely blended into the population, whether on these shores, or in foreign lands, and only make themselves known once the suicide bomb has detonated, the kidnap has occurred, or the streets are running in blood.(tips a nod to Enoch)
Am I scare-mongering, or are these radicals a significant problem ? 9/11, 7/7, 'The Muslim Patrols' in London, and now the mobilisation of militia who are causing atrocities in the name of Islam in the power vacuum created by western military withdrawl.
Would I have a happier life if I stopped reading/watching The News, or would I be complicit in ignoring issues outside my own tiny sphere of influence ?

Having had the misfortune of reviewing the last 14 pages to find that this thread has descended into a cheap point scoring sniping at one another and only to find that not many posters have directly answered/commented on an interesting first post. (Where is sydtheeagle when you need him?)
Lets be honest since 1945, when this country fought a war to stop facist tyranny, all we have done is try to appease other countries/races/religions.
When I was growing up at school in the late sixties/early seventies, the only references to Muslim/Islam was when Richard The Lionheart led the crusades, it certainly didnt appear relevent to a country which was primarily still a Christian country with morals/respect for others way of life.
Since then we have relaxed our morals/respect and allowed Europe to control our laws.
We have allowed this to happen, or I should say our appointed leaders have.
Mass uncontrolled immigration was a mistake ( I beleieve even Milliband has admitted this).
We had no option when Amin deported those from Uganda but the human rights act which so many recently hide behind for political assylum is rediculous.
Now our current primeminister has stated that Isis wishes to strike against us on our soil and that some of these individuals were born and bred here.
So yes fundamental Islam which is at odds with its own people is the biggest threat since Nazism. There is as the op implied a hidden enemy within who have integrated into our society. If it kicks off here will you feel safe to see an ethnic Doctor, Dentist or even eat food that was prepared by Islamics ..... just in case!?
Rivers of blood? Was Enoch ahead of his time... or should we sit back, not worry and apease in case we upset someone?
Thank you CPFC2010 for keeping me interested in football, for me no Palace no football either. Come on you Eagles.
