As the number of Muslims in Western countries continue to increase there will be more clashes over the role of women in society and tolerance of non-traditional genders and sexual preferences.

In some areas, Muslim children are over 50% of the population.

Their traditions and viewpoints need to be taken into consideration.

What do the thugs do when there is a stabbing in Scotland ?

Burn the distilleries down ?

Scotland has a high rate of knife crime.....and a lower rate of Muslim citizens.

Long overdue. A society and culture begins to fight back over the outrageous crime done to it by government. “Peaceful silent vigils” are sops to the public. This now is something else entirely.

English Defence League is a busted flush, disbanded a decade ago.

There is little doubt that such "thuggery" such "hate" manifests itself in on UK streets 2024.

In the capital, in Southport, in Leeds, because of a toxic elitist metropolitan political class infesting Parliament, abetted be a willing media to fudge, refuse to apply to the Judiciary, to afford the public a honest open transparency to this atrocity.

The full circumstances of/to the alleged killings

They are children attending a "Taylor Swift" fun day.

Does it not follow that the narrative of secrecy, of diversion, would create the poisonous speculation now potentially about to engulf communities/society?

"Enough is Enough" is a product of a Parliament that has lost touch with UK people.

The 17-year-old attacker will appear in court Aug 1. Police requesting no reporting should be made to ensure he's given a fair trial. Charged with three murders and ten attempted murders.

It will take a long time to heal the hearts of the people.

Irrelevant to the discussion I’m afraid. This is not a random stabbing or two thugs having a brawl, this was murdering children. It’s orchestrated fear, planned out by a youth who was being monitored and should not have been allowed to do this.

Seems most are talking about blaming right wingers and EDF at moment, distracting us from the real tragedy and victims of this brutal attack.

Endlessly conditioned that “tolerance” is of the utmost importance. Who cares about the deaths of children? Another opportunity to burn candles in public and sing. Disgusting.

Yeah, yeah, what does this even mean? I get it, it’s what is always said after these outrageous crimes, but really for what purpose? To soothe and dumb down a victimized society until the next time.

The assailant is British born and comes from a family where both parents are, according to accounts in the US press, Aftican Christians. But, lo, the assailant has dark skin so he must be a Muslim, and then the mob attacks a Mosque.

And then you get a comment like this:

"Long overdue. A society and culture begins to fight back over the outrageous crime done to it by government. “Peaceful silent vigils” are sops to the public. This now is something else entirely."

Hello. The assailant was raised "Christian". Maybe go burn a church? Or better yet pull your head out of your rectum and learn the facts before you say or do something stupid.

It doesnt matter what his parents are. The point is what is he?

And no need for your usual insulting verbiage. I’m sure face to face you’d be much better mannered, eh.

Who are the EDL? Far right group believed to be behind Southport riot

It is suspected that the riots in Southport that saw 39 police officers injured were organised by the English Defence League

English Defense League. Ulster Defense Association. Not much difference. Groups of reactionary bigots using any justification to beat up and kill people. Why? Because they are sick thugs who like to kill. Just need a thin justification for it.

Not heard of EDL killing anyone they don’t like especially children. Do you have links to murders they have committed please?

are you a supporter of the EDL?

The English Defence League (EDL) could be proscribed as a terror organisation in the wake of riots in Southport, Angela Rayner has suggested.

But they do terrorize non-whites. In London last night they protested and attacked the police. In Southport, they rioted burning a police car and looting shops.

Falseflag

Ive heard about them demonstrating and I guess harrassing people but I haven’t heard of them committing acts of terrorism on anyone. No knife attacks or bombings or such like. I remember the NF who were much more extreme and were violent against immigrants and wanted them all out. They were known as criminals but the word terrorist never used, I think it’s thrown about too easily these days.

People like to hand out terms like bigots, terms, Nazis these days to many including some who aren’t, been called those names in this site myself before.

Also, unlike the NF and BNP they have members who are from ethnic countries, they are mainly against Muslims who don’t integrate.

English Defense League. Ulster Defense Association. Not much difference. 

There is a big difference between the EDL and the UDA.

"The Ulster Defence Association is an Ulster loyalist paramilitary group in Northern Ireland. It was formed in September 1971 as an umbrella group for various loyalist groups and undertook an armed campaign of almost 24 years as one of the participants of the Troubles."

"The UDA/UFF were responsible for more than 400 deaths. The vast majority of its victims were Irish Catholic civilians, killed at random, in what the group called retaliation for IRA actions or attacks on Protestants."

You'd have to ask the attacker about why he chose to be a Muslim.

How would a person born in Cardiff Wales to a Christian family from Rwanda be a Muslim? Why are you erroneously calling him a Muslim? The local Muslim community also issued a statement saying he wasn't a Muslim.

People who spread those erroneous lies light the fires of trouble. Like the EDL.

You mocked the US media stating he wasn't a Muslim which then you believe he is.

This outburst of frenzied speculation just feeds dangerous emotional responses leading to the violence in the streets, a tellingly stark contrast to the massive peaceful demonstrations protesting the deliberate killing of tens of thousands of innocent children. I expect to hear that the young Southport attacker had at least mental issues and perhaps even some political motive was a trigger in his confused mind.

There is a big difference between the EDL and the UDA.

If the UK government doesn't arrest EDL members and prosecute them now then they will soon enough have a rap sheet as long as that of the UDA. The exact same bloody minded unthinking bigotry and resort to violence that motivates both. It's the same very British bigotry that informed American Jim Crow laws, the KKK, voting rights restrictions and all the other institutionalized racial bigotry that infects the US. You see this everywhere the Union Jack flew.

How can you even make that comment? As I pointed out the UDA is an armed and organised terrorist group that killed and bombed people just like the IRA did. You don't seem to have any understanding of the troubles if that is what you believe.

The UDA is not anti-foreigner, just the Irish from the south. The Troubles was never about racism.

EDL members do get arrested and prosecuted when they break the law. The EDL is not anti-Irish, north or south because they are whites.

The exact same bloody minded unthinking bigotry and resort to violence that motivates both.

It does not.

It's the same very British bigotry that informed American Jim Crow laws, the KKK, voting rights restrictions and all the other institutionalized racial bigotry that infects the US. You see this everywhere the Union Jack flew.

I'm afraid you have gone so far off the mark you have lost me.
