		<description>has anyone noticed the preponderance of anti-israeli rhetoric and slogans at these anti-war marches? it&#039;s always &quot;iraq &amp; palestine&quot; - as if the iraq case wasn&#039;t enough to be made on its own. i mean, isn&#039;t it supposed to be about opposing the war in iraq, not about israel-bashing? seems to me that the whole thing has been completely hijacked (if you&#039;ll pardon the phrase) by self-appointed left-wing/fundie spokesmen for the palestinian cause these days. not that even if a jewish person wanted to join in one of these marches, the date being on a saturday will exclude most jews from it:

&lt;i&gt;In an unprecedented show of unity, thousands of Muslims from across the UK will march from Parliament Square to Hyde Park tomorrow [Saturday 10th December 2005] to demonstrate against the oppressive anti-terror laws being introduced by the UK government.&lt;/i&gt;

these marches are always on saturdays, you&#039;ll notice, because that prevents the most committed counter-demonstrators (ie, sabbath-observant jews) from staging rival marches. funny, that.

you will further notice that the only jewish people that are ever given a platform in these kangaroo debates (if that&#039;s the correct adjective) are those myopic glory hounds &quot;jews for justice for palestinians&quot; (as if the rest of us weren&#039;t in favour of this, rather like not being &quot;anti-war&quot; apparently means you are somehow &quot;pro-war&quot;). now, i know quite a few of these JFJFP characters personally and while most of them are perfectly nice people, they&#039;re not what you&#039;d call reasonable. rather than provide a principled workable alternative (like, say, the new israel fund, or rabbis for human rights, or anything that goes on in the dialogue world) they prefer to restrict themselves to trying to make out everything is israel&#039;s fault and excuse everything that is done against it. they&#039;re not quite &quot;neturei karta&quot; (those loony chasids that call for the destruction of israel and are always on any anti-israel platform they can find but they are incredibly dogmatic, angry people. they are always writing incredibly long letters to the jewish press (which for some reason never gets bored of printing them) and frankly they really don&#039;t do themselves any favours. it is highly understandable that MPAC, MAB and other members of the everyone-hates-us crowd feel that they are &quot;safe&quot; debating partners. you don&#039;t see them inviting anybody like michael gove or that one guy at the israeli embassy who actually speaks english (don&#039;t get me started how totally crap the israelis are at PR). frankly, my rabbi could make mincemeat of them - and from a principled, reasonable, humanitarian and moral PoV - although, so could my auntie, who has no such claim to fame. being the only likud voter on a kibbutz within range of iranian-funded hizbollah katyushas and in range of some very loud muezzins has given her a certain attitude, even for an israeli. hehe.

		<description>Great, waxon is spewing shit here as well.

It doesn&#039;t matter how many muslims in diffferent countries are standing up against the policies of al-qaeda or other extremist groups, the fact is that there are muslims doing it.

It has to start somewhere, and its good to see this happen as these muslims will gain more and more support as they aren&#039;t scared to talk out.

Very happy to hear about indonesia as it shows that these people really give a toss about human life rather that just muslim life.</description>

		<description>Of course, Yusuf Smith does not think Bukhari is a bigot - he is in deep sympathy with bigots like him and just wishes he would drop the teeth gnashing psychopathy towards other Muslims and only be nasty to the kaffirs and Qadianis - such is the mellow bigotry of Yusuf Smith the CULT quantifier.

Pigs in swill together. If only they&#039;d stop harassing fellow Muslims and stick to hating and justifying killing kaffirs, Yusuf Smith wouldnt be able to contain his erection.</description>

		<description>BevanKeiran: Thank you for clearing up your misuse of the word &#039;recant&#039;. 

Juan Golblado: Obaidul Haq was sensible enough not to hide behind the &quot;Not Muslims&quot; claim, even if he has more reason than anyone to claim the opposite. You see, the last bomb detonated by the bicycle bomber in Netrakona, Bangladesh was Hindu. A twist in the tale that is not going to prevent Bangladeshis in working against Terrorism as such.</description>

		<description>Bevan - Don&#039;t worry about it... 

El Cid / Juan - I&#039;m using very British Asian slang when using the term &#039;rudeboys&#039;. It simply refers to wannabe macho men / gangsters who possess little brain power and constantly talk about being powerful when in reality they&#039;re mummy&#039;s boys who live meekly at home.</description>

		<description>Siddarth, more disjointed corallaries. Unbelievable!
I did not allege that Yusuf supports MPACuk. 
Lets take this one step at a time.

recant-To disavow (something previously written or said) irrevocably and usually formally. Nothing to do with religious belief (especially in the context used).

 What did  Yusuf state!
&quot;I have never believed that MPAC are a racist or malicious organisation.&quot; 

So correction should be (statement or non-belief to be recanted)

Sunny, I apologise for this conversation as it makes crap reading. If Siddartha and I can come to a consensus soon, then feel free to delete related posts.</description>

		<description>The Bangladeshi cleric, Obaid ul Haq, said something about Islamist terrorists in his country which I wish we had heard more of here.  What we heard here after 7/7 and in the US after 9/11 was overwhelmingly, &quot;these terrorists are not Muslims&quot;. (Although this was usually not said in the literal sense of denying who did it, it played into the hands of the likes of waning Waxon commenting above.)

What chief cleric ul Haq said was &quot;These bombers are enemies of Islam&quot;.  That makes me feel like he is on the right side.

El Cid was asking about a transatlantic translation for  &quot;rudeboys&quot;.  Sartorially, think about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.elpachuco.com/pachucoindex.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Los Pachucos&lt;/a&gt;
Politically, think about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pimpcostumes.com/costumes/Pimp-Suits/Pimptacular-Blue/73,115&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;these guys&lt;/a&gt;.  Though Sunny may have had in mind &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rude_boys&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the originals&lt;/a&gt;. Sunny can tell you more about what he meant -- if he&#039;s still around. And may he have good relaxing holidays if not!</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;BD’s spate of terrorist attacks seems to be playing along the lines of class and sectarian warfare rather than part and parcel of a plan “to establish the Kingdom of God eveywhere in the world”.&lt;/i&gt;

Some of the latest threats by that terrorist org in Bangladesh extend to women who do not veil when they are walking around. That group does want an Islamic republic in BD while the country is happy being secular. Knowing how fiesty Bangladeshi women are, I doubt their threats will go down well.</description>

		<description>BK: You were not clear on what Yusuf Smith should &lt;b&gt;recant&lt;/b&gt;. To me, &lt;b&gt;recant&lt;/b&gt; means to renounce one&#039;s faith/religion/ecumenism. And I thought you were asking Yusuf to renounce his faith because a third person Muslim&#039;s prejudiced views. 

Unless you mean he should &lt;b&gt;recant&lt;/b&gt; his &lt;i&gt;alleged&lt;/i&gt; support of MPACuk. In which case, the word &lt;b&gt;recant&lt;/b&gt; would not be my first choice. 

Which one is it?</description>

		<description>Meanwhile, to comment on Sunny&#039;s original post.
The terrorism in Bangladesh and its susequent backlash by its Muslim population against this extermism is being played out as we speak. The differences in ideologies of Bangladeshi fanatics are a million miles away from &#039;Al-Qaeda&#039; 7/7. The only similarity is the ability for politically disgruntled Muslims to appropriate the &quot;ethos&quot; of terrorism for their own cause. The cause, however, for each group seems to be no relationship in time and place for each Islamic &quot;group&quot;.
BD&#039;s spate of terrorist attacks seems to be playing along the lines of class and sectarian warfare rather than part and parcel of a plan &quot;to establish the Kingdom of God eveywhere in the world&quot;. But we know that the only people who have their own specific agendae, and yes I&#039;m speaking about those bedmates: Hizbut Tahrir and Scott Burgess and his cronies.</description>

		<description>You manage to repeat the disjointed  corollary. The religion of someone who considers MPACUuk not &quot;racist or malicous.&quot;, despite the weight of evidence, is irrelevant.</description>

		<description>BevanKieran:
I thought a &quot;disjointed corollary&quot; was more than called for in response to your ridiculous diatribe in (7) where you asked Yusuf Smith to &quot;recant&quot; because of the view of a co-religionist.</description>

		<description>Yusuf 

The equivalence of David Duke/MPACuk is wrong but I was answering a question from Siddartha who excels in disjointed corollaries. 
  
I am not prepared to give slack to an organisation that describes itself as a &quot;predominantly, web-based group&quot; in the brochure, manages to swipe a few articles of the David Duke website, and then attributes this to tiredness and poor funding.

You did not convey Asghar&#039;s hysterical tone and use of bloody imagery in your review. I find your interpretation of MPACuk&#039;s methods interesting. Using the same analogy, that directing fear of the consequences of inaction for one group translates as some kind of hatred for them, and little for the &quot;other&quot;. i.e The B.N.P actually hate white Britons, and their hatred towards non-whites seems mild. 

Asghar loathes the &quot;passive (too spiritual, religous and not political enough)&quot; Muslim while Nick Griffin loathes the Briton who does not put his colour first. Both are trying to change that.

While you found Alan Hart&#039;s comment to you rude (which it was), I found Askghar&#039;s acknowledgement of myself and Mikey , as being part of the Zionist lobby, with phrases such as &quot;they are deadly&quot; and &quot;we will always be under attack&quot; a little scary, explaining our hasty departure at the end. 

What is the  &quot;Zionist establishment&quot;.</description>

		<description>From BevanKieran:

&lt;em&gt;“Today it is Palestine, tomorrow it could be your neck on the block. Remember Bosnia.” His further use of phrases such as “they are killing your mother and sister” (presumably “Zionists” in Palestine) hardly lends credence to your perception of a toned down speech. When the web of the “Zionist” lobby includes British-Fijians, MPACUK must really believe that there is a danger to Muslims in the U.K.&lt;/em&gt;

Well, I found it &quot;toned down&quot; compared to the tone of some of the mailshots they send out (as I said before, often unsolicited) to their Muslim readers, which are much more vitriolic towards Muslims.  I&#039;ve written about their attitude on so many occasions on IJB and the sentiments they express about their fellow Muslims make what they say about Jews seem mild.  What they really think about Jews I don&#039;t know, but they seem careful to distinguish Jews generally from the Zionist establishment, which is why I don&#039;t think they are racist.

As for David Duke, his roots are in the KKK and he has more recently moved into &quot;I&#039;m not racist, I just support rights for whites&quot; type territory.  You can&#039;t compare a group of juvenile Muslim activists with him or with Hindutva-type bigots.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The tides may turn, but truth prevails.&lt;/i&gt;

Or you can just believe what you want to believe and ignore any facts that get in the way of a good story. I would call you an eeejet but I have a feeling that you know exactly what you are doing. By whatever means necessary?
Luckily for the rest of us, the tides may turn but the truth does indeed prevail.</description>

		<description>Siddartha 

I won&#039;t be badgering  Yusuf any further.  It was a daft request anyway. The accusation was made because Yusuf explicitly stated  MPACUK were not a racist organisation in spite of overwhelming evidence.
If a white Protestant, or brown Hindu, or Asian Buddhist were to do the same and denied that David Duke/respective bigots were racist, anti-semite etc then of course I would do the same. 

In fact, when there are non-Islamist extremists (I guess by now that you think I have a problem with extremists of just one particular religion/race-Harry&#039;s Place deals by and large with far green and far red issues, so thats where the bias comes from) having a debate, in and around London, then tell me and I will gladly confront them.</description>

		<description>BevanKieran:
Yusuf Smith has still not responded to your demands to apologise/recant for his beliefs because of the actions of the racist clown Askhar Bukhari of MPACuk. Will you making similar demands from White Protestants for apologies and recantations for the existance of David Duke the ex-KKK racist?</description>
