Weren't you the guy that said he isn't allowed to wear a skullcap in treorchy because of the threat of muslim attack? That'll be Treorchy with a population of 7,000 where the muslims control the streets. Is this the same somewhere you aren't allowed to say Happy Christmas? I don't find that entirely credible. As that's the only bit of your end of days doom laden stuff I can personally assess, I'll have to treat much of the rest of it with the same amount of credibility. Yes, there are dangerous places, yes there is crime. It's a serious enough situation not to have to go full fantasy drama queen. There are plenty of strong points that can be made about security or liberties. But I do not recognise the end of western civilisation as you describe it. To clarify this i may live in Treorchy, but the nearest Synagogue is in Cardiff and there has been anti-Semitism in Cardiff from Muslims. I also travel to see my folks in Telford and Birmingham, which is just the same. Treorchy as yet does not have a mosque and long may it stay that way.

I work in Cardiff a couple of days a week and live just up the road, where's this area that's too dangerous to be jewish? You're not going to claim Cyncoed is super scary are you? Or Howard Gardens? I must walk around with my eyes closed. As for going to synagogue in Cardiff but hoping there is never a mosque for muslims in Treorchy, well, I'm struggling to come up with a constructive response. There's a whole mindset there that I struggle with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a british muslim born in balsall heath with lots of family in Birmingham including alum rock. That is just bollocks. Like Guzzy Bear (guy in the vid) I have never come across anyone with these views. Ever. You can be damn sure I know more muslims than the majority on here. Apart from maybe Tony! It's very hard for me stand up against someone I don't know and will most probably never know. They may be anti west in terms of foreign policy but that is a big leap to terrorist. Wait maybe someone should tell Theresa May that. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Oh, don't get me wrong, there's a history of anti-semitism alright. A history of it, anti jewish riots across all the major valleys towns, a catalogue of incidents. From Merthyr, Tredegar, Aberdare. Famous riots before the First World War, violence in the 1960's. None of it, incidentally, by muslims. What I don't recognise, is a Treorchy with aggressive islam driving the jewish community away. But apparently that's happening in Cardiff? Again, I don't doubt there are problems. I see the fascist stickers on lamp posts as I walk in to town. I see the EDL stickers up Albany Road. I know people in the EDL. But again, they aren't muslims. I don't doubt for a second that in a major city of more than a quarter of a million people there are muslims with vile views. I don't recognise a town with no go zones, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 yeah, I wasn't getting you wrong, just still getting to grips with the quoting system. yours was just the last comment in the line. Id have added a smiley face but considering it was anti semitism it somehow didnt seem apt. either way, however tongue in cheek I meant it to be, my statement was definitely one of fact. Having said that I feel I should quote this just in case so it cant go away 1 hour ago, chrisp65 said: If western civilisation is diminished one iota in 5 years time, I'll stick a bunch of flowers in my arse and do a naked jog up Queen Street.
