  1. Ditto the statements in the Muslim Council report, a comparison of Muslim vs non-Muslims employment times with regard to full vs part time contracts is a key missing component.

    It's all there on page 58.

    34.9% of the general population is in full time employment; 19.8% of Moslems are. For part time employment the figures are 12.5% and 13.0% respectively.

  2. "One daughter however became involved with a group of Muslims at College and became brainwashed.

    I'm not racist, but I didn't like their radical attitudes and total disrespect for others.

    My daughter took some vows and became a Muslim at 19 years of age."

    Don't confuse race with religion.

    You have religiophobia towards muslims.

    Freedom of Information states most or all of Muslims in the UK are on some form of welfare. Roll on the Universal Credit IDS is spot on with this one,will put a stop to this lot

    Bul l sh ite!

    It seems eminently believable to me, given that only 19.8% of Moslems in the UK are in full time employment. The source is the Muslim Council of Britain, so pretty reliable, I would think.

    Elsewhere we learn thanks to Wikileaks that 31% of working-age Moslem men were economically inactive, as were 69% of working-age Moslem women.

    Clearly a large proportion of Moslems in the UK is being subsidised by government handouts.

  3. There was previous discussion of purchasing colloidal silver at http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/34996-colloidal-silver/

    I did a search before posting and saw that thread. It is 8 years old, so really quite useless now. Also, mesosilver is not colloidal silver.

    Uh, the manufacturer doesn't agree with you. Its website's front page reads: "A true colloidal silver mineral supplement" and "MesoSilver is 0.9999 pure silver in colloidal form", &c., &c..

    You can be pretty sure that one colloidal silver will be as equally inefficacious as the next.

  4. depends. futures give you way more leverage in the short term. but you likely don't mean tomorrow's prices..

    so ETF probably better. They might have a 3xBull ETF like they do on certain indices.

    2x and 3x Bull ETFs are dreadful products. The naive are sucked into believing they are going to get twice or thrice the rise (or fall) of a particular index. That just doesn't happen because they are revalued daily, so all falls (however transient) have a dramatic impact in performance. I find it difficult to find a case to justify using them - particularly for a medium or long term investment.

  5. Any experience of this flour?

    Makro.

    They're both "doppio zero" flour - very finely ground, Italian-style. They are also "grano tenero" meaning they're made from soft wheat. Not really suitable for bread making at all. Had they been labelled "grano duro" (hard wheat) then they are used for some types of southern Italian bread, but really are best for pasta.

  6. In order to claim tax relief for any income in the period 6th April 2015 to 5th April 2016, you would have register for online self assessment, and submit by 31st January 2017

    Non-residents can not correctly complete their returns using the HMRC system. (It doesn't cover the residence pages.) It requires third party software or sending a paper copy.

    a friend and i just did a non residents tax return, all online and accepted by HMRC. your form SA109 never came into it.

    HMRC is rather lax about that, but the rules are clear cut: non-residents must not use the HMRC online system because it can't correctly calculate their tax. (It actually overtaxes non-residents.)

  8. In my experience a lot of weight is placed on the name of the institution granting the qualification. When I saw "Framingham State" I thought "Is there a state called "Framingham" in America?" shortly followed by "Is this another Almeda?" (It's rather sad that a fake university is far better known than a genuine place of learning.)

    Incidentally, OP, did you notice you got "Framingham" wrong in your original posting... thrice? That, I think, speaks to the renown of the institution.

    Nottingham, Keele and Sunderland are all names I recognise. Sunderland, however, isn't a real university. It's a rebranded polytechnic. (Snobbish, I know, but a valid comment.)

  9. The Moslem god is a pagan moon god which Mohammed found convenient to adopt for his new religion. Jehovah isn't.

    From the dawn of time, man named anything he didn't understand as "god." Thunder, lightning, the ocean, disease, Bigfoot, or whatever. And, out of the hundreds/thousands of religions that teach that their brand is the one true religion....and that their "god" is the only one and true god....it's necessarily obvious that either all but one of those religions got it wrong or, alternatively, every one of them got it wrong. I vote for the latter.

    I don't begrudge anybody believing anything they want ....hopefully privately....but I always marvel at the hubris of those who wish to argue that their fairy tale is truer than somebody else's fairy tale.

    The point here isn't the veracity of one god over another. It's that Islam claims ownership of parts of other religions. The OP tries to syncretise Christianity by claiming that Mohammed was born on the same day as Jesus. Mohammed syncretised the pagan moon god for his own convenience. Mohammed tried to syncretise Judaism by claiming to be a prophet in their tradition (but the Jews at Banu Qurayza wouldn't play ball, so had to be killed).

    The Koran is muchly a jumble of myths and tales from the Judaeo-Christian tradition adopted in an attempt to give Islam some "respectability" - though ultimately ends up looking ridiculous.

    At the end of the day, all religion is a ludicrous fabrication. However, even so, it can be very dangerous to the lives and thoughts of right-thinking men.

  10. The only way we, the disparate peoples of this planet, will be able to live together in peace and harmony is if religion is banned. It creates hatred and conflict between people. No religion, no wars ( or very few anyway).

    I believe there is an alternative: the peoples of the entire world are subjugated by Sunni Islam in a universal caliphate. Then there will be peace, but it will be a pretty miserable existence and come at an enormous price - particularly for Jews.

    I think you are perpetuating a myth about Muslims hating Jews....what they actually hate is Israeli policy towards territory and settlements and the continual encroachment upon the rights of others. Same for Christians...Muslims only hate the fact that we are in their countries exploiting their resources (albeit with the help of their own countrymen)

    If you believe in GOD you believe in the same one. If not that's fine too...but any other machination is created by worldly greed and not faith.

    The Christian god is not the same as the Moslem one, despite propaganda to the contrary. The Moslem god is a pagan moon god which Mohammed found convenient to adopt for his new religion. Jehovah isn't.

    And as for Moslems hating Jews, well, it all started with Mohammed, long before the modern creation of Israel. He had all the (Jewish) men of Banu Qurayza (village) slaughtered because they refused to accept him as their prophet. It's gone on pretty unabated since then. For more info, check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_antisemitism which is a pretty balanced account in my opinion.

  12. falling into the trap of believing that more than a tiny minority of Muslims support the violent antics of the groups he lists.

    Except the reality is that it's not "a tiny minority". The vast majority of Moslems does not oppose such violent action. As was published in the press yesterday, in the UK only a tiny proportion of referrals (less than 10%) of would be terrorists to the government's Prevent programme came from within the Moslem communities - the very communities that are in the best position to root out extremism. In other words, at best they tolerate religious terrorism, at worst they actively support it. What is abundantly clear is that they are not against it.

    It would be nice to believe that all religions are peace loving and tolerant. The truth, however, is that one is not.

  13. The opium of the masses keeps populations docile and easy to manipulate.

    That doesn't seem to be working for Islamic State or Hezbollah or Laskar-e-Taiba or Abu Sayyaf or al-Qa'eda or Al Aqsa's Martyr Brigade or Al Shabaab or Boko Haram or Hamas or Islamic Jihad or Ansar Al-Islam or Ansar Al-sharia or Jaish-e-Mohammed or Moro Islamic Liberation Front or Tawhid Jihad or... well, you get the idea.
