Oh man Sky can't seem to get anything right on reporting this. Failure here, interruptions there, picture breakups here.... lol... amateurs.
I knew some Muslims, yes. These were the 'moderate' sorts that people always talk about, they liked football, didn't make a fuss about their religion and even tolerated my offers to get them bacon butties every other morning. They were good people and I have nothing against them.
However, the big wake up call for me came for me when we got into talking about serious matters and they started to say 'your people' and 'our people'. It was then I realised that even moderate Muslims didn't view themselves as being part of the British nation and that underneath their softly spoken words, they had a great deal of contempt for us.

So you'd combat an attack on free speech by limiting the press? Don't you find that a bit at odds with the current situation?
I very much doubt those comments will be taken on board by the authorities, don't you think?.
It's a bit of a silly article really. He says Geordies weren't asked to apologise after what Raoul Moat did, but that's because he didn't do it in the name of Geordies or because he was a Georgie, he had a vendetta against the police. He says Christians weren't asked to apologise after what Anders Breivik did, and that's because he didn't do it in the name of Christianity, or any God.
I don't specifically think Muslims need to apologise for these attacks, but I agree with what Portillo says in the video posted above.

"They want to die as martyrs".
I hope they are denied that privilege.
Amazing how willing they are to die, but like to hide like cowards. I hope the French police kill both of them.

What's with Hollande doing a press conference... whilst siege of killers and hostage situation continues? Why would he do that unless killers caught?
They were quite calm.Any thoughts on the claim that these guys are apparent stoners, whereas military experts claim this was the work of trained soldiers?

"When we win"? and what exactly would be classed as winning?
Really? You think this is justice? For them to be given what they want...
