where exactly am i causing racial misjudgment...?
i posted a link to a site which is organising a march in a town that has shown great pride
YOU, are making the misjudged comments my friend, if you had read the post that accompanies the link.... you will notice at no point did i slander Muslims or Islam, but questioned the validity of the people, whoever they be behind this website
i have many Muslim friends, and fully understand that it is a minority that put an uneccercery burden on the majority of muslims, or any other ethnic group in this country
so what has me being club chairman, or military got to do with it, am i not allowed an opinion, or am i one of the child killers that goes to Afghanistan and Iraq....oh and Bosnia aswell
the post is about the proposed march on wooton basset, not for those with some racial issue to spout there poison......!!!
if you believe 100,000 men women and children have been killed in Afghanistan, ...................they are not proposing a March for inocent people, ..The group accuses British soldiers of "genocide" and fighting a "Crusade" in an incendiary statement on their website
the only people targeted are the militants who, for the majority are not from Afghanistan, and do not fight by any code of conduct, the military out there, regardless of which country they are from adhere to the Geneva convention (albeit there are a couple of idiots)
as i said the topic is about a proposed radical groups march on wooton basset
The local Conservative MP James Gray has issued the following statement:
"The people of Wootton Bassett who turn out in rain or shine, week in week out, to honour our fallen service men, and I have been glad to be there for most of the repatriations, do so out of respect for those who have been killed in service of their Queen and Country and obeying orders from their officers and ultimately from Parliament. It is my experience that those who stand with me down the High Street are expressing really no political view on the war at all, either in favour or against.
For that reason, I, and I hope most local people, will equally avoid taking part in the controversy over any such planned march. I suspect that the police will not allow it to go ahead anyhow. But if it does, I hope that the people of Wootton Bassett will ignore it, and just go about their business in the ordinary way.
Of course I disagree with what these people are saying and reportedly planning to do, but it is my view that the best antidote to it is to ignore it, treat it with disdain, contempt, or even mild humour. What these people are looking for is a reaction of outrage. We should not justify their foolishness by giving it to them."
