HIGH NOON…
By ATWadmin On November 30th, 2008Now here are the words of a British patriot. I refer to Sir Gulam Noon…
“After his father died when he was 10, he worked in the family sweet shop in Bombay until he had enough experience to start a chain. Within 40 years of arriving in London and falling in love with Piccadilly Circus he was producing a quarter of a million curries a day for British supermarkets and turning over £100 million a year. He supports England, rather than India, in Test matches but he has never lost his love of his birthplace, to which he regularly returns. This week he was staying at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel when it was attacked by terrorists.
As a moderate Muslim he is horrified by the rise of extremism in Islam. “This isn’t real Islam — there is no religion or caste or creed that believes it is right to terrorise people.” The British Government should, in his view, be much harder on extremists. “Britain is a soft target because we are mollycoddling these people. You start mollycoddling them and they take it as a sign of weakness. I have told all the Home Secretaries you send 50 imams back home and that will send a very strong signal. Forget about their human rights — what about our human rights? They don’t fit in my society.”
Excellent comments from a genuine BRITISH entrepreneur. You can be sure government will ignore him.
"This isn’t real Islam there is no religion or caste or creed that believes it is right to terrorise people."
Do you agree with him?
Sir Gulam Noon is wrong. There is one belief system (it’s not just a religion, is it?) which believes it is right to terrorise people – until their submission to the system, with emphasis on the word ‘submission’.
Sir Gulam comes over as a decent man who would not be a good muslim. Even if he supported India, I wouldn’t object and it wouldn’t make him less of a patriot. He clearly loves and appreciates the country which allowed his entrepreneurial talents to blossom.
Good to hear you separate Moderate from extreme David.
Hope you keep it up !!!
Of course you’d know better than him Allan! LOL!!!
As I have said before, I happen to know some Muslim people living here in NI for the past 30 years, running a good local business, salt of the earth. I do condemn Islam since it looks like a pathology rather than a faith but one must not damn all Muslims just because of their Jihad wing.
Quite a few people in Bombay know better than him, Petr.
Are you embarrassed that over these past few days more than one commenter has called for the extermination of all Muslim? Have you banned them?
Petr,
Have you decided to run ATW? If so, many thanks but there is currently no vacancy.
I’ll take that as a ‘no’ to both my questions. Interesting…
Yes Petr, very interesting. As far as I’m aware, only one commentator called for mass murder of muslims – and nobody supported his lunacy. On the other hand, I stated that muslims should be returned to muslim lands, and the apostates should stay – for obvious reasons.
I didn’t notice anybody disagreeing either. Do you think if somebody called for the extermination of Jews that there would have been more protest?
Didn’t see that comment, but for the record I oppose extermination of any group
And for the records, I’ve not seen any Jews flying planes into buildings, blowing up subways, or sawing off heads lately. Muslims have been doing many such things across every inhabited continent over the past couple of decades
They’ve not killed anyone in Anctarctica yet. Have to give ‘em that.
"They’ve not killed anyone in Antarctica yet. Have to give ‘em that"
I’m sure tis only a matter of time before penguins become part of the great zionist conspiracy and become ‘legitimate targets’ and a ‘root cause’…
There is one belief system (it’s not just a religion, is it?) which believes it is right to terrorise people
Allan, a belief system can’t in itself believe anything. That doesn’t make any sense at all. People can individually believe something – even in a belief system. But people do that individually. At present there are way too many who’ve chosen to believe that Islam justifies violence and terrorism. The responsibility for this rests with those individuals. I realize that your description of the belief system believing in something helps advance your, shall we say, peculiar viewpoint by presenting Islam as monolithic and Muslims as all believing the same thing, but anthropomorphizing a belief system is illogical. It’s the equivalent of those who blame the theory of evolution for the Holocaust.
The responsibility for this rests with those individuals.
And with the "holy book" that justifies most all of this ( suicide bombing being an exception ). And with the guy who wrote the holy book. Don’t let him off the hook.
Phantom too seems to think all muslims are monolithic. Ignorance is bliss as they say.
No, I have never said that. Its in your head.I know many mellow Muslims who would not harm a fly.
But I’ll bet you a quarter that the next time that there is an attack on a hotel or a plane hijacking or a dirty bomb going off in some place that it won’t be the Quakers or the Methodists or the Jews or the Buddhists doing it.
Excellent post David.
But I fear London (or Birmingham, or Manchester or Southampton, or Glasgow or Cardiff) will have to experience even worse islamic terrorism before the hate-preachers and their apologists are dealt with properly.
OK then, Neal. Let’s leave out ‘belief system’ and use ‘doctrine’ to describe islam:
