Waleed, eh? 

Love that multiculturalism! ? 

  • Popular Post

Waleed no doubt was hoping for intervention from the British Embassy to help get him out of this pickle he found himself in, (I did not say he asked for help, before you lot home in on that) Just wondering how long it'll be before he's out on an Anti British demo ??

It was all because he ignored a 'do not touch' sign, and hid a crocodile skull at a local market while drunk the night before.

Another case of overly dramatic and lousy reporting. He was arrested because he stole the crocodile skull, not because he touched it. Due to his drunk condition, he was probably abusive too.

 

They have these signs in stores all over Thailand. You are NOT going to jail if you touch something.

put giant MnMs in the ears of a Buddha statue

He thinks insulting Buddhism is a great laugh, but puts a death fatwa on those who mock islam.

 

Thailand is not as safe as people feel here.

its a bit like reaching out to pet a sweet looking tail wagin dog only to have it bite youre hand and give you rabies.

The link is in the OP .

(Putting an M&M in a Buddhas ear )

Did he even spent 1 night in jail? Too bad he came off lightly with just paying some money. He should have spent a couple of weeks in jail!

No, that's not a declaration of a death fatwa.

No it wasn’t karma. Don’t bring mythology into this to explain away this incident. 

 

It was a pattern of behaviour that was eventually going to catch up with you. 

 

You are an arrogant, self-entitled, brain dead moron. 

 

That is why you got into trouble. 

Sorry but that isn't what karma is
Karma translate from sanskrit means 'action' 
Karma isn't some mystical force handing out punishment and reward; it's more of a cause and effect thing, your actions cause a reaction. That is essentially all it is, at least in Buddhist teachings anyway

I seriously doubt this moron thought that's what it was.

 

I doubt his ability to think full stop.

I think that he meant that insulting Islam can get you a fatwa placed upon you

UK prisons have been in the news lately, suicides,self harming,violence,rampant drug taking, the warders have no control and many have resigned out of frustration and low pay.

I was reading the full story and was just about feeling sorry for this guy when I read the final paragraph where he admitted to putting m&m's in the ears of a buddah statue and then it dawned on me that he is a total pratt with little or no respect for the people and culture that he is visiting. Total pratt!

The guy stole an item from a shop , that may be normal behavior in the UK , where anything not nailed down gets stolen , but its a different matter in Thailand .

   If you take anything that isnt yours, you will get punished

Waleed.... what a solid British name. Another Muslim showing disrespect to a different religion.  Same everywhere they go.

Couldn't have put it better myself! ???

Ok, so if a dog is born in a stable, that makes it a horse??

But a dog is clearly a different genus from a horse and most people do not need that pointed out to them.

 

Presuming that young Waleed was born in Northern Ireland, then he is every bit as British as every other child born in the UK of UK citizens. For the avoidance of doubt, should you have any, he cannot be classified as either a horse or a dog, even those British born horses and dogs.

Gosh 

What is the matter with you people?

1. Never believe what you read in the Sun - fabrication 

2. Waleed is a common enough name - Bradley - an old name .

3. Is he does have a faith ( many young people have not) probably Hindu or Christian 

4. If the young man is born in the UK, went to local schools, probably has a local accent - he is British.

5. Like it or not the UK is a melting pot of immigrants and second / third generation  these days , most work hard and take much more interest in education etc for their kids than the indigenous poplulation. 

 

Where do you come from? America- I always suspect . Or sitting in Isaan , watching the rice grow. Of course those Brits with half Thai / Brit kids will always insist on a British passport - are they British - of course not.

Something tells me, you have no idea how the world works. 

 

The guy obviously has British parents, maybe even one white parent. 

His Father could be ex Military and fought for his country so slagging off the Guy because of his name is just ridiculous 

when you know F all about him. 

 

My Daughter and Son were born in Ireland and both  have Dual nationality and have  Irish and Thai names. 

Should we only consider them Irish if we use their Irish names, and then Thai when we use their Thai names?.

His name is an irrelevance 

 

So a dog born in a barn is a horse?

Let me fix that for you.

 

Unless you are a bar Girl. 

No crocodile skull is worth that price Its a common skull not a dinosaur.

 

Maybe $200 USD or stretching it $300
