Christians and Muslims Clash in Luton, UK

[I_am_not_mafia]

Hehe prelude to war. What crap. Two separate fascist groups with no support amongst their communities not even meeting up to fight it out because they are cowards. Instead they harass and intimidate ordinary people just wanting to get on with their lives.

Totally. This is bullshit.

This is (meant to be) a secular country. Whatever fairy tale you personally believe in means jack shit, unless your invisible pal is actually going to show up and do something.

How about some of that Christians tolerance? How about some of that Islamic peace I keep hearing about? I expect reasonable people in both religions would be embarressed by this.

Are you talking about Britain here Rob? Because that's not actually true.

To me, its like 2 football team support squads fighting over their club. It is a thing.

Yeah.

Well, it kind of is meant to be. People pretend it is. It mostly acts like it is. If you bring religion into politics, you will be a laughing stock.

But I know technically it isn't at all. Hence all my guillotine jokes. It's just more secular, in practice, than some actual secular countries.

Maybe it will be, pretty soon, then the fucking church of England finally gives up the ghost and dies. It's dead already, it just doesn't know it. Like when Ken from Fist of the North star does his thing...

Do remember the Anglican Church has dedicated seats in the House of Lords. The Supreme Governor of the Anglican Church? The Queen. Who has the power to essentially veto parliament at any point?

You guessed it.

People like to think the UK, in practice, is relatively free from religious influence. I think the truth is quite the opposite.

What's our national anthem again?

[account_inactive]

Fuck them all. Fuck Muslims. Fuck Christians.

Simple.

Let's start an atheist patrol, guys.

I think an argument could be made a fatwa is called for. A given Muslim moving to non Sharia governed area demonstrates a lack of fidelity to Allah.

The proper way to do it would be to conquer the area, overthrow whatever government is there and supplant it with an Islamic regime, then colonize the area.


The Muslims in Britain now aren't doing it right. Lopping off some heads would seem to be called for.

How about Christians and Muslims and Jews all stop using our species planet of 7 billion for their childish game of "chosen people"?

[robvalue]

That would be awesome.

I agree actually that our government does pander to religion. It's just not Christianity any more. I'm surprised they haven't replaced the Bishops with Imams in the House of Lords. Our politicians, like almost every public figure, are shit scared of what will happen if they don't kiss ass.
