Equalizer

Well this is from a guy who has been raised along side Muslims in one of the most heavily populated Muslim towns in the north of England. The truth is that by categorizing Muslims into moderate and radical they are essentially creating a misconception. We all know there are peace loving Muslims out there, yes these are commonly known as moderate Muslims however this is just a smoke screen because in reality, yes a lot of Muslims do not condone the atrocities committed by the likes of ISIS, however what people are not told is that the principles and the causes ISIS are fighting for is inherently agreed to by the majority of these so called moderate Muslims. They are all hard line in their beliefs and this is the reason why blind eyes are turned within their communities. Our governments know that the majority of these Muslims can be radicalized overnight if the balance is tipped in the wrong direction. We are all sitting on a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. I was raised in a predominantly Muslim area and i know first hand what the Muslims believe. I also know that the Asian Councillors when asked this question have the same concerns.

There's a reason ISIS and AQ gets more recruits from the European countries vs USA. There are well over 20000+ muslim extremists born in Europe who true loyalty is to Islam and they openly aid, abet and travel to the middle east to fight for Islam.

Compared to them we have under 500 in the USA.

Why because in Europe they've been living in isolated ghetto like communities cut off from their country. They are resented everywhere and have no jobs and no interaction. So they turn to the mosques and radicalize and feel they're not part of the country they live in. They resent the state. They have zero loyalty towards their country. The mullahs tells them the cartoons insult their religion and families and look what happens?

Here in USA the number of extremists who are radicals are under a 500 and most likely under 400 counting false positives. Why? Because the muslim community feel they are Americans. have a shot at a good life, the American Dream. As a result they are honored to help protect and defend their country. Here's your proof:

If you change the equation and deny them their American status and freedoms, you will change the numbers and more will be radicals. I don't know about you but I'd much rather have The Department of Homeland Security trying to account for the movements and if needed arrest 500 radicalized individuals than over 20000.

Yes and San Bernadino has just thrown that pack of crap right out of the window hasn't it. It is the fundamentals of Islam that allows its followers to become aggressive in its name. You are brainwashed, you think just because the majority of Muslims don't take up arms they do not defend Islam in principle exactly the same as the Muslims who do? This is where you are all making the biggest error in judgement. Also you are wrong. You will find in any predominantly Asian ares new floodlit soccer pitches, The pavements are all new, the areas are heavily invested in for political brown'y points. If you want to see the ghetto's pal come and visit the predominantly white areas within these towns and where there are no new soccer pitches and the roads are full of pot holes.

Unfortunately he's a total liar. Today he posted on his twitter.. he has never seen any muslim sports heroes.. yet his website has photos of him with Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neil.

He is interested in two things and two things only: making people afraid of it and telling who's to blame for it. That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you win elections.

Even my father is now wanting to vote for him. I was stunned. I tried reasoning and asked my dad today who was to blame for the 2008 financial crisis.. he didn't remember and said Obama. Then I asked my dad who took care of him during his CABG surgery (I had taken a month off work to be the primary caretaker) and he didn't remember.. he said he did it himself.

I don't want to go so far as to call my dad a senile old man, but the fear is truly working..

Trump will probably become president. Conservatives rejoice!

"I know a guy who knows a guy who knows some "Muslims"..........

It's so sad that a sentient human being can actually post this sort of thing in all seriousness........what dark dismal cloud of ignorance e/she must live in........

Clearly not his own writing.

Clearly is my writing copied and pasted from another post i sent only yesterday. Thats Ctrl C copy Ctrl V paste FYI.

Well not all of us were raised in a picture post card English setting with thatched roofs and country lanes heading in all directions. Call it boots on the ground if you choose however no matter what you think these are HARD FACTS from people who are living among it. Integration is not about building walls however this is what we have, be it political walls, Religious walls, or cultural walls. This guy is me obviously!! and i was raised within these walls.

''All their identities have been known by the Thai police following information given by the arrested American Tyler Gerard''.

So whats the interrogators tactics here then? You give us all the names and we will broadcasts this fact in the newspapers. Now you can go home and spend the rest of your life in a police protection program.

I have lived here for 10 years, i have seen shootings, beatings, hit and runs, more suicides than WWII Japan, what fear are a bunch of ISIS terrorists going to offer me. Bring them on i,ve been in training for 10 years.

I would not panic too much however, the last thing ISIS will do is target a neutral country irrespective of the amount of foreigners. The idea is to kill the infidel of enemy territory. Thailand is not exactly top of the pile is this respect. They have the whole western world to target for this.

Let me guess….you run a bar, a restaurant or a gogo…..right?

No i dont run any of them and what on earth has that got to do with my post anyway

The Asian end of walking street is the worlds number one ISIS R&R destination so you will be safe drinking around there. I have bumped into some real hard core fanatics here in the past, one guy who was showing off his Bin Laden tattoo and giving me grief in one of those bars was told to leave once. I was also informed that the screaming loud music they play in those bars is all Jihad propagandize music. I would not panic too much however, the last thing ISIS will do is target a neutral country irrespective of the amount of foreigners. The idea is to kill the infidel of enemy territory. Thailand is not exactly top of the pile is this respect. They have the whole western world to target for this.

these bikies walk around pattaya at night with colours on stating who they are, not one single one of them would have the guts to jump in a ring here with a thai fighter and fight one on one

You must drink in Insomnia, you need to take a chill pill mate and get some sleep. Research Jesters Pattaya. Then you can call yourself an idiot instead of me doing it.

I was watching the Loy Krathong parade on Beach Rd a few days ago and I was surprised to see that a bunch of bikies were at the front of the parade.

They have a very bad reputation in Oz. A few years back they killed some guy at Sydney Airport in front of dozens of people including young kids. No respect for any laws.

I guess they are a good fit for Pattaya.

FYI the bike culture in Thailand and especially here in Pattaya is not the same as you are portraying, we have got the Jesters among others who have raised more money for charity here in Pattaya than any other organization in the cities history. They are mostly older guys with big hearts. We also have the annual bike week that attracts over 100.000 visitors each year, it entertains people of all ages and there is never any trouble. So i suggest you take your chicken basket and stick it where the sun don't shine.

As a fisheries manager myself all i can say to them is the solution to pollution is dilution. This must be your starting point.

Cheers this is the first time in 10 years of living here i can officially raise my glass to the man.

If they did introduce it, what judge would give this heathen foreigner a victory in court? I think any foreigner out there who is stupid enough to even attempt it will soon get the message when most cases tried with a foreign lawyer turn into a loss. Then who will employ them knowing you have no chance.

Yes it is going to be interesting when the facts come out that this girl initially made statements in defense of Jack and this resulted in the charges brought against them and then after his father had finished with her she retracted her statement and disappeared first class.

After going to investigate, the two security guards told police they saw five masked men beating another foreign man Hmmmmmm

Security, if they are security guards where is the registration number of the pick up????? They have to note the plates when any incidents within their grounds.

All of you saying that the British embassy should not have to deal with these British citizens, spare a thought for the 27 billion pound foreign aid budget. The main chunk going to Pakistan. So you are happy to see some anti western terrorists washed and clothed but you give grievance to helping a mentally sick man stuck oversees asking for help to get home. We have just sent enough money to Syria to pay for every flight this airport receives in one full calendar year.

Sounds like a sad story. British embassy wont want to get in the loop. Too messy. Call home its your problem.

A 35 year old doesnt become so depressed that he commits suicide because he cant afford a lousy airline ticket.

Obviously alot more to this story. Thailand... 1. Business idea gone terribly wrong. 2.Taken for a fool by a Thai girl or a farang conman? They would be top of my list.

Yes, it's always Thailands fault. He came here a balanced, healthy, wealthy... Seriously, have you any idea how inane your speculation sounds to anyone with a brain stem? What else is on your learned list O wise Sage?

Insane? Where have you been. He has given three perfectly legitimate possibilities, unless you with ''all the brain stems'' came here to become a monk. I have seen this place change people beyond recognition in the past so YES he has a valid point, pure speculation but extremely feasible.

I wondered why her tits where so droopy, poor buggers where fast asleep.

"Seems they are simply trying to cause more problems for Thailand with this crap, maybe they are trying to deflect all the sh*t they have caused with their immigration stunt with all the muslims that has backfired spectacularly on them. So far all europe has done is show the world how not to run a nation/continent successfully"

Well spoken frangipani man. I am sure this is very close to the truth

Also consider that 45,000 EU ants are cut off from one of their HQs, so no more visiting for 'very important' meetings, collecting of allowances and tax free car fuel. Also weather is getting bad and war-mongering in Ukraine turns out to be less fun due to Zar Vladimir's resoluteness. Therefore what better way to spend the winter than turning one's attention to Asia. Perhaps a few trips to Bangkok even?!

Makes one wonder what the resident ambassadors of countries like UK, Germany, France have to say to this diplomatic master piece.

The EU got it wrong in a big way and might very soon be eating shrimp from Lousiana instead.

Bonvoyage YL

Backfired in what way? It seems to me it is mission accomplished unless you are also brainwashed into thinking immigration and asylum seeking is some kind of humanitarian act bestowed on the less fortunate. Why don't people wake up to the real reasons we have 25,000 going to Canada, 20,000 going to the UK, 500,000 to Germany. Did you ever consider that accepting these people is simply helping oneself to a piece of the human resources pie. Would you please spare a thought for Syria, what happens to this country after all its doctors, academic, students, labour force have been systematically raped from under their feet. Who will take care of the old and the weak? Who will rebuild the infrastructure? Well the answer is no one. The country will need to invest on a biblical scale just to keep the country sanitized. It is the biggest smoke screen in history. More people will suffer in Syria after this conflict than during it. The standards of living and forced poverty will be off the scale. Immigration is the most heinous crime in history and it keeps billions of people under the poverty line worldwide than any war. The economic machine is ferocious, i can safely say Europe is a long way behind the likes of India and China who have access to over one billion souls at it disposal.

Besides, he said, it would tell the world that the basic rights and freedoms of the people is not restricted. Basic as in allowed to EAT and BREATH.

Who's sitting at a table with a meal and a bottle of wine in the middle of a loy krathong celebration?

Try Matrapan lake.

I really almost feel sorry for you drunken slobs out that just need another excuse to get drunk. You are drunk all the time and I have no desire to be near you. Cheap boze is the most important reason you even come to Thailand and think you know everything about Thailand, well you do NOT.

Oh really, i mean think about it. This is not about the foreign alcoholic anonymous escapees, it is about these people imposing bans that they know are impossible to police and it is just a get out clause. They know that almost every group of Thai's will be sat down with several bottles of liquor huddled in a circle playing a guitar. They ban booze at son kran however the same amount of people die each year on the roads, why? Because there is twice as much traffic on them to begin with. The people who choose to drink and drive when there are any type of festival will do so irrespective of any ban so the only people you are hurting are the people who may want to have a couple of red wines with a meal.

If the banned condoms i wonder if will stop people having sex.

should be the taxi drivers right to refuse a call which goes into areas where the driver is not comfortable, doesnt know well, which are famous for having massive congestion, or if the passenger has an attitude, smells bad, looks weird or misbehaves... just like in any other service industry, where the provider has a right to refuse service based on a judgment call... why should cabs be different ? I dont get it, forcing taxi drivers to provide service smells like fascism ! Taxi drivers might be at the bottom of the foodchain, but they are human beings too, and passengers are LITERALLY getting in the space all day, and passengers do many many things which are extremely annoying as a driver without knowing, I have that from my resident uber drivers with which I nearly always have a conversation about their experiences as an Uber driver... so, this guy might had a bad attitude which we KNOW young Thai men are a lot of times... especially in this situation where they have been partying, its crowded and perhaps (speculating) one friend walked up the road to catch a taxi to bring it down to where the driver didnt want to go because there were too many drunk vomitting thai's on motorcykels which was why he didnt want to go there in the first place... the guy in the picture features the small beird matching my assumption he could be bangkok-born semi-hi-so douchebag who couldnt handle getting rejected by a (in his eyes) low-life taxi driver from eesan !

Yeah Yeah Yeah and dont forget the stabbing.

''highlight the fact that current strategies to deal with the threat of terrorism are not working'' I know, this is because they are born in the Mosques and predominantly Asian neighborhoods throughout Europe. To have so many Muslim individuals take up arms from all over the Muslim communities everywhere in Europe clearly shows us that the sentiment within these communities are leaning a little to the other side in general. They all have an inner feeling of sympathy for people who are perceived as defending Islam and its ideology. Not necessarily committed terrorist but they do subscribe to a hard line. Many many Muslims must have turned a blind eye to what they are seeing around them and so i would say to the grant Mufti, look this has been said a thousand times and yet you all refuse to shame them as a community in the early stages. Shame your Mosques, shame the communities into activism. Let people see all the Muslims marching through there own neighborhoods with banners condemning anti western values. Show morale support for your adopted country. There is your strategy so go try it, you maybe surprised at the response.
