“why is it always seen as "everyone against the muslims?" i do not understand this... it could be any religion, if any religion committed so many terrorist attacks against other countries/religions, who would want them to have a piece of british land to commemorate their dead? yes they lost many people fighting for our country, but nowhere near the amount that britain and other countries have lost due to their revolting terrorist attacks... islam means peace? i ask you!”

“What about the terrible evenst going on in Somalia these days. A 20 year old girl stoned to death for adultery, pirate terrorists roaming the seas. Surely Somalia should be more of a concern to the Muslim majority, than the construction of some divisive monument to the past. Where is the Muslim outcry over Somalia?”

“People seeem to be missing the point of Farooq's article.

Muslims are vilified in society today. They are perceived as a threat, something new and terrifying which is suddenly in our midst trying to murder us in our beds. But Muslims have been in British society for generations. Muslims are ordinary men and women with ordinary lives, and in two world wars many of them made extraordinary sacrifices for this country alongside their Christian comrades. Those terrorists are nutters, and most Muslims think so too.

A new monument would remind us all of the contribution that Muslims have made to this country, and maybe some people would re-assess their attitudes. It doesn't matter that similar monuments exists already. Let's have a new one, with a high-profile public opening.”

“Psssssst!...............Don't mention Enoch Powell..........you'll have your comment deleted.
You ain't seen me, right?”

“Check Farooq's article in today's BEP. Apparently anyone who disagrees with him is IGNORANT. I think you'll find that's rather a large number of people he's just insulted. Let's just hope they all remember to vote the right way come election day!”

“QUOTE, Emel, a British Muslim lifestyle magazine and the Muslim Council of Britain have launched a campaign to have a permanent exhibition as a memorial for these men and women in the UK. I totally support that campaign to rightfully acknowledge those who sacrificed so much for our liberty. Unquote.
There is already a memorial,
Its called, The cenotaph, Its in Whitehall, London.
I dont think it says Non muslim only.

“Just read Siddique's piece in today's BEP. Pretty pathetic I thought, but what I would say is, "They don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring, they don't like it up 'em!"”

“Concerned UK person. Well said. The old traditions of our Christian country are being smothered. There are many stories of people not being allowed to wear crosses for fear of offending and even occasions where Christmas celebrations are omitted from schools for fear of offending some religions but we are critisised if we don¿t agree with others and are accused of ignorance or racism. If a British Christian moved to Saudi Arabia would they be allowed to protest that the Saudi Arabian religion and beliefs be hidden for fear of offending us ¿ OF COURSE NOT. It is a Muslim country and has every right to expect anybody else who wishes to be there to live by their rules. It is every individuals right to practice which ever religion or tradition they wish but in the majority of countries if you decide you want to live there then you live mainly by their rules and respect their views not try to change them to suit your own beliefs. Britain is a wonderful country with a wide range of races and religions on the whole living happily together. We as Christians do not object to the Muslim relegion or any other for that matter (even if we do not agree with the beliefs) ¿ what we do object to is having to keep silent if we do disagree. This issue is not purely about the Christian/Muslim debate. I personally find it totally over bearing when Jehovas Witnesses call at my door ¿ a few years ago they called at my house at mid day on Christmas day which I found to be totally and utterly disrespectful. I am not saying their religion is wrong ¿ of course relegion is only a belief and there is no right or wrong but I truly object to people not respecting my relegion as I do theirs. In conclusion ¿ relegion is a personal matter. Believe what you believe but DON¿T think you have the right to squash anyone elses beliefs. Practice your own relegion but don¿t try and stop others from practicing theirs.”

“I am becoming more and more concerned about the state of this christian country! Yes, I said Christian - it is not a dirty word - it is what I am and what this country is. This country is not a muslim one or any other kind. It is Christian. It seems that the people that we have put in power to safeguard us are no longer doing the job. This country is over-run by people from every other country in the world. We are a small island and a christian one and yet because we are kind and soft hearted we let anyone cross our borders and we are in grave danger of losing our christian roots and our own individuality! Why does the Government not listen to us and block our borders. Other european countries have blocked their borders and they certainly would not stand for muslims or anyone else taking over their country. We are being taken over by another country, quietly and stealthily without the bloodshed of outright war. We need to take back our country and be "great" again. We need to stand up for our rights. The BNP are too extreme in their views but we do need to have some politicians who will stand up for us and fight in government for our rights. The right to live in our own country, to have christian bibles and crosses on show and not hidden away out of sight in case it may offend someone. I am not racist I assure you. I am happy to live next to and work with people from other countries and religions but what I don't like is that these other people are trying to turn our country into their own. It is not their country, it is ours! We should not bow down to anyone. If people from other countries wish to live here for whatever reason then they can do so, so long as they do it quietly and do not try to take over our country and turn it into the one they left behind.”
