Gandalf started with a ring of peace. Now he is going with a barricade sandwich. He won't be making that mistake again.

You initially titled this thread 1000+ Muslims form ring


Forgive me for copying a news article from mainstream media. What is clear is that hundreds of muslims turned up, as well as many non-muslims. No one - not Soren, not his neo-nazi bloggers and not AFP/AP - have been able to determine the exact numbers - notwithstanding the BS that both you and Soren were trying on that you can "pick out" the muslims simply by looking at them.

...

notice the barricade? Notice any suspiciously "muslim" looking people?

freediver wrote on Mar 14th, 2015 at 10:01am:
You defended it for a long time, even after it was obviously BS.


Thats a complete lie FD. reply# 57 - my first post after Soren posted the first refutation of the 1000 figure. I acknowledged the mistake straight away. But rejected Soren's BS about only 20 muslims turning up in total - which he quietly disowned straight away. I also never persisted in defending the "ring" story - though I continue to think it is the height of petty-mindedness to think that such a detail matters.


freediver wrote on Mar 14th, 2015 at 10:01am:
Isn't that what you did?


I am assuming inaccurate reports from a news article don't come from sinister muslims because there is no evidence that it did. Do I really have to explain to you the most basic principle of burden of proof? This is just "muslims must be funding terrorists because I cant think of any other explanation" all over again.

The main thing about this "1300 Muslims form protective ring of peace" is that it is unbelievable.
If  your critical faculties are uncorroded by the constant PC tosh about Muslims you immediately know that the report is a lie, deliberate to some degree. There is no way that 1300 Muslims anywhere would unite to protect Jews. It is inconceivable.
So when you see an impossibility as a headline, you know it's not an innocent mistake but a deliberate lie.

Sure, I can pick out two of them, simply by looking at them. Fancy that.

polite_gandalf wrote on Mar 11th, 2015 at 11:08am:
the word was *WILLING* to form the line. Soren made the baseless claim that 20 formed the line and the rest "declined" to join. The BS narrative he is trying to spin was that there was an extraordinary small number of muslims willing to "stick their neck out" and make this gesture. The TOI article clearly explains what happened, and why Soren's narrative is BS - a decision was made to form a small symbolic line of about 20 people for the cameras. Behind that, behind the police barricade was a *SECOND* line  of hundreds of muslims and also some non-muslims. The decision to make the two lines was for logistical and security concerns - *NOT* because only 20 were willing to form a ring. Clearly hundreds of muslims turned up wanting to make a ring. But of course you would know all this if you bothered to read the TOI article I keep referencing.

So don't strawman me and say that I claimed there were more than 20 people in that first line.


Gandalf I am yet to see any photos of this second line of hundreds of Muslims. Only you are talking about the first line/second line thing. We are yet to see any decent evidence of any line of hundreds of Muslims.

Do you defend the barricade sandwich story? When the entire story falls apart because all the details are either wrong or reflect badly on Muslims, it does start to matter. When it becomes a demonstration of how few Muslims will come out to defend Jews from Muslim terrorists (and try to hijack a show of solidarity by non-Muslims and turn it into an Islamophobia Islamic victimhood protest), compared to the number of Muslims that will turn up to the funeral of the terrorist, it matters. The spin entirely contradicts the reality.

Quote:

If I countered by assuming they did not come from non-Muslims because I have no evidence on which to make such a claim, would that be a valid rebuttal?

Quote:

Yes, please explain how you stating that you know that none of the Muslims involved were responsible for the lies places the burden of proof on others.

So I guess what you are saying is that there is no evidence AFP/AP western news wires are not really covert muslim outfits.

Good point FD.

Is the photo you posted on this page the "second line of hundreds of Muslims" that you have been referring to?

I guess if there's one place where the hijab would be a very practical form of dress it would have to be Scandinavia in Winter.

Interesting how once the Queen would often cover her head  (And never mind all those hats she wears).

Note her attire in a religious context (head of the Church of England meeting various Popes)

So we've gone from a symbolic ring over over 1000 Muslims, to a line of 20 Muslims, back to a line of several hundred Muslims, to a bunch of people standing behind a barricade thinking liney thoughts.

You can call people standing in a big line people "thinking liney thoughts" if it makes you feel better FD. It really does make it all the more sinister doesn't it?
