News flash:

" ...Nazir Ahmed, Baron Ahmed (born 24 April 1957) is a member of the House of Lords, and was appointed by Prime Minister Tony Blair in 1998. Along with Lord Alli, Baroness Warsi and Baroness Uddin, Lord Ahmed is one of the four current Muslim peers in the United Kingdom. Many of his political activities relate to the Muslim community both in the UK and abroad, and he has often attracted controversy. He was suspended from the Labour Party pending investigation of alleged remarks made at a meeting in Haripur, Pakistan, on 13 April 2012.[3] He was later cleared and re-instated. ... "

Your comment re grammar, whilst likely correct, is anachronistic.
This IS the internet dear boy.. and as long as a narrative is comprehensible..anything goes. Wink

Ummm because it was officially sanctioned by the highest authorities of those bodies.

What sort of ridiculous question is that?? What muslim leaders are telling Swedish muslism to go out and riot? What shred of evidence is there that they are muslim at all??

Oh, but there is no higher authority in Islam, remember? You always use this defence when people point out that violence is committed in the name of Islam.
The Inquisition was just about some misguided papal officials in Spain completely misrepresenting Christianity and taking the Bible out of context.

They probably couldn't read Hebrew and Ancient Greek, what?

Interesting snippet from the Pew Survey "The World’s Muslims: Religion, Politics and Society"
Quote:

the survey finds that even in many countries where there is strong backing for sharia, most Muslims favor religious freedom for people of other faiths. In Pakistan, for example, three-quarters of Muslims say that non-Muslims are very free to practice their religion, and fully 96% of those who share this assessment say it is “a good thing.” Yet 84% of Pakistani Muslims favor enshrining sharia as official law. These seemingly divergent views are possible partly because most supporters of sharia in Pakistan – as in many other countries – think Islamic law should apply only to Muslims. Moreover, Muslims around the globe have differing understandings of what sharia means in practice.

Seems its a lot more complex than the black and white view that the bigots here claim... Roll Eyes

Exactly - which is what makes your comparison with Catholics, Nazis and Chinese communists so absurd.

All we know about the riots is its carried out by some immigrants (presumably of Turkish and/or middle east origin). We know nothing about their religious beliefs or motives.

Thus I come back to:

What other news is there about Muslims?

Hmmm... let's have a look...

Oh, look at this one!

Where is the evidence that these people are muslims? Is that such an unreasonable thing to ask??

I cannot be held responsible for you rather poor syntax and grammar. If you can't string a meaningful sentence together which is easily understood, I'd suggest you need to perhaps brush up on your English expression. Roll Eyes

You know, you are a dream opponent, Yadda. You type your posts and prove my points for me, time after time. I don't have anything to do, you prove your a bigot with nearly every post! Grin

Hilarious.

In view of your many previous clangers I would have expected that even a slow learner like you would have learned from the last forum that when you attempt to prosecute pedantry it inevitably and hilariously blows up in your face. With a new forum and new start might be time to retire the magic dictionary, the “academic” persona and stop lecturing and correcting others. You aint equipped and when you try you look silly.

Nope, don't care either. Lets see you apply your teacher's mind to all posters. I think we all need edumecatin' !

So, you see any errors in DL's post? What about your post?

As far as I'm concerned, people in glass houses and all that. Grin

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes
