I'm not making a direct comparison with ISIS though but the fact that since the latest terrorist atrocity there has been an upsurge of what is quite simply ill informed braindead racist propaganda against Muslims in general. Yes, it's a minority and yes, it's on social media and the best thing to do is ignore and de friend or whatever but the fact is it's nonsense. If all Muslims are terrorist then by the same token all men are rapists. Or if the next high profile child murderer or *****phile happens to be an Englishman then all Englishmen are child murderers or *****philes. Fact is though, all Islamists aren't in ISIS. And if you don't think there are utter scum in this country then you can't have looked closely enough.
I'll get off my soap box, I'm more annoyed by some of the ****e 'friends' have been asking me to 'share' or 'like' on Facebook than by anything written on here. If they are to generalise then so can I and the people who are anti Muslim are union jack flying council estate dwellers who contribute the sum of absolutely **** all to this country and complain that immigrants get so much benefits. Which they do of course, but no more than those making the ****ing complaint in the first place. 'Like if you think this country should be Muslim free!!!' No, **** off and die somewhere you scrote piece of dirt. * NOW I'll get off my soap box*
Theres scum everywhere, in every country, every religion and every race. One set of scum is no excuse for another though. There is plenty of anti Islamic stuff about. Facebooks full of ****s too. I have the same issue. Some racist morons and some who actual post stuff praising isis for standing up to the worlds government. Mental.

I think the thing is that if someone changed the name of English Defence League to English Scum it would come across as a slight on all English people. An offensive phrase to anyone who's English. It's the the same with the term Islamic Scum. It's a poor choice of wording to be honest and not very bright either. If they had changed Islamic and kept State, I think it would probably get a thumbs up from everyone e.g. Imbecille State But I feel that those who chose to keep Islamic did so deliberately...probably for the reasons Chief said.
You would have to be very sensitive to be offended by someone saying English Scum imo. I doubt anyone would actually care. Are you offended by the term 'white trash'? Personally, any religion that needs protecting, isn't compatible with civilisation. Just so happens that applies to every religion. Sooner its gone, the better. I stick by my statement that religion is the most evil thing man ever created.
White trash is an American term so I personally wouldn't be no. I'd be a tad pissed off if I got lumped in as scum because of something not connected to me though, purely because I happen to be a white Englishman though. Which is why referring to Islamists or Muslim in one blanket term is not only offensive to them but should be to to anyone really. Not that that's what I'm saying you were saying, I'm talking in general terms really. Nor would I use to term offensive really but you get the gist. I agree on religion though. Each to their own but it really does create more problems than it solves as far as I'm concerned and is the root of most of the worlds problems when used in the extreme. Again, I'm sure the vast majority of religious people use it as some comfort to them but it's the minority who use it to cause the ****e going on in the world. Or, in the case of the USA and Britain, use extreme religion as an excuse to invade countries and 'save' them from themselves.
I did jump on it. We're having what's known as a conversation here, there's no reason for it to get heated.
No, not really. Putting yourself into the same category as a religion is a bit rich. I can't really see Chelsea fans bombing the tube or sending planes into the shard or something at this (joking) slight. Much the same way United fans won't burn down Liverpool cathedral because we were called plastics.
Would do a bit of reading into Turkey's politics and military since kemalism before you embarrass yourself. Nani is about as safe in Turkey as he is anywhere unless he decides to live along the Syrian border.
