IS that proof that a large amount of Muslims are interested in terrorism, or does it prove that people have been "arrested for terrorism" who are Muslims? There's a very big difference between the two
We are not really party to the facts behind Guantanamo plus that's the US military, not MI5.
I wouldn't say there is a big difference between those two facts, there have been surveys where support of terrorism was shown in certain circumstances but all people do is poopoo the survey.
So tell me more about how he's talking facts, and not taking things that confirm his "views" and using that as proof, just as you are.
Are we taking his statement as proof of anything? It's just his view point. How does one prove the UK is a breeding ground of anything?
I don't think these are entirely unsupported views, it's somewhat self evident that the UK has a terrorist problem linked to radical Islamists, this is not a situation that appears to trouble any other European nation for the reasons given.
and from experience, people who have the views that he does, and who present them in the same way usually have a load of racist views
Possibly, but stereotyping everyone in the same way is just another way to censor debate on this topic (
Oh he said Islamist, he must be racist)
Which only benefits one group, Islamists...
This is what puzzles me about GD, if you mention a beheading video then it's Ooo how terrible, if you mention Islamic terrorists then it's racism. But they are the same flipping people!
Now as badly worded as this person's post is, the viewpoints are not that significant, only if you make assumptions about him do they become suspect.
