It's not an Ace card. You are a racist. The world hasn't stopped turning. There are loads of racists like you. It's not interesting in any way.

Islam isn't a race.....

Thanks for pointing that out.

Well, no. But then there's no scientific consensus on whether race even exists. Islamophobes and racists in arguments like this tend to be interchangeable. Apologies to the Devonian bigot above if I've contravened any site rules.

[Stirchley Villain]

Xenophobe would be more appropriate... For what it's worth.

And you can im

Thanks for pointing that out.

I thought I'd save you the trouble.

Not at all - its a common mistake.

I don't see what is racist about suggesting that the refugees would be better settling in wealthy countries where the dominant religion ( albeit there are various sects ) is the same as the majority of those who are desperate to leave their own countries ?

Or do we want to see European countries become Islamic ?  May not be a worry to you while you are knitting lentils whilst reading the Grauniad, but sure as hell our children & grandchildren wont forgive us.

Are you sure you're not a racist?

This thread isn't and shouldn't be about race.Its about people needing help.

Evening Nigel

Thanks for pointing that out.

Ha! And so the great tactician allows us a glimpse of his strategy. Lots of people have genuine concerns/a massive fucking problem about/with the damage religion does. When they let that intellectual anxiety spill over into indifference about the plight of human beings in desperate situations then you can be pretty sure that the person concerned has a problem with the people, not their religion.

[SavoInDevonia]

Who said I was indifferent ?  Saudi/Dubai helping out would be good all round, No ?

Good standard of debate on here though, surprised nobody has called me Himmler yet ? Oh hang on, the Germans are the good guys now, so I cant be him..

No, not EDL either, we have no need for them here in England.

Nigel ? Do you mean that Farage chap - actually he was the first politician who said we should take in Syrian refugees ( he was bluffing though as he's a racist aint he ) - yes I have voted for his mob, as well as Labour & Tories at different times. Never cast my "X" for the Greens though so I will never be popular on here 

Heres a bit of bedtime reading for you all - although its at times laugh out funny, and other times its your worst nightmare - America Alone by Mark Steyn ( albeit a few years out of date now ).

Ok what are you gonna call me now ? I can take it, sticks and stones and all that.

Man reads book. Assumes that confers status of unimpeachable genius. Wins argument. Remains a racist.

[SavoInDevonia]

Man reads things in others post that aren't there, remains away with the fairys.

Exactly this.
