I brought this up on here a few months back, here’s another to add to the list. More violence at a mosque, another young death. Religion of peace my fkin arse. 
 

 

Has anybody other than right wing white people ever referred to it as the religion of peace?

Islam originates from the Arabic word Sallam which means peace.

I don't think he's saying literally, its that its normally mentioned in a perjorative sense.

Plenty of people other than right-wing white people have described Islam as a religion of peace

It was from that that the perjorative use developed

It's very much a British trait to use words in a sarcastic manner.

Usually as a result of observation of reality, not necessarily politically, although that no doubt will play a part.

Is it any worse than Millwall vs West Ham though? 

That's the way we do everything these days isn't it? 😉😁

Not sure this is inter-town rivaly though.

More like intra-town rivalry.

Just any normal weekend in Blackpool.

The bloke who threw the chicken nugget might regret his actions.

Slightly OTT one may say.

It's young lads fighting each other over tribalism. Whether that's what branch of a religion they were born into, which football team they support or what type of music they listen to - it's the same thing. 

Different story if they start shooting each other or blowing things up of course. But it does serve to show that you can't treat Muslims as one coherent monolith. 

Either way - that want shoeing!

With proper shoes? Or those curly-toed slipper things?

Did find it quite amusing watching some acquaintances decry the situation that were there prompt and present when United came back in the early 00s

no different to this is it

https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/5916073.12-arrests-as-rival-fans-clash/

A HUGE fight broke out between more than 150 rival football fans at Bolton railway station -- leaving dozens of passengers terrified.

More than 100 Wanderers supporters are believed to have spilled out of nearby pubs to fight with a 60-strong Manchester United mob following the teams' 1-1 draw at the Reebok Stadium.

There were 12 arrests, including one for possession of an offensive weapon, following the battle and one man was taken to hospital with a head injury.

Rail staff cowered behind their counters and passengers looked on in terror as United fans got off a train from Manchester and charged across a walkway from the platform below.

He was a game as a pebble the lad.

Where that lad was getting filled in for throwing the nugget was the exact place I had my front tooth headbutted out 25 years ago

 

See Kurt Kaz has made appearance. Collaboration with the pint guy.

What a time to be alive.

If that's all it was it wouldn't be so bad.

Just an indicator of a wider problem.

Moreover, just because football fans can sometimes scrap savagely, doesn't make religious based violence any more acceptable.

He mentioned it on the vid but All the folk he chats to from elsewhere who have moved to Blackpool really do sound like they're on some kind of register. Kind of have to feel sorry for the place

Almost heart-warming to see things are no different than they were 25 years ago. The only real difference is cigs have been replaced by vapes.

All the far-right lot finding Jesus lately. All performative of course.
