Pretty far I'd say. But you're an objective person. I think it is possible to understand these people if you put aside all of the horror. Look at their situation, what they have grown up being told, or what they have been exposed to.

That's what's terribly sad. When faced with an event that challenges his own preconceived notions, this is how he reacted. It's unfortunate.

I took a class on global terrorism about a year ago and the definition is pretty much a variable depending on who's giving the definition, I like the broader definition personally because most people think that Muslim = terrorist, especially here in America. But they forget that white people can be terrorists too, especially the far right, what with bombing abortion clinics and **** like that. Murdering abortion doctors in church, ffs...

I was lucky that the school I was in, an elementary school that was Christian mind you, after the 9/11 attacks actually took time to teach us what Islam really was, looking back I didn't realise how important it truly was to learn about it that early.

People honestly know dick about Islam, I feel that most people don't even know that because of the government in Middle Eastern countries forces the schools to teach the more Fundamental kind of Islam.

I thought it was. This is pretty reminiscent of the time the BNP managed to get their token coloured guy to join the party as head of international correspondence or something.

He too was a bigoted moron.

BNP signs its first non-white member... - UK Politics - UK - The Independent

Help For Heroes have refused to accept a donation from the EDL. Tommy Robinson has called the decision "political correctness gone mad".

Yeah, cause HFH are really gonna welcome a donation from an organisation that has responded to the murder of a serving British soldier by inciting violence.
