There has been incidents of two Sikh women raped over the past few months with racist motives in the UK. I can't recall your outrage over that? An old Indian grandfather also racially killed. Where is the outrage? Where is your outrage on the Charlie Kirk shooter, or these mass shooters ? Oh wait, it doesn't fit your narrative does it. You struggle with it. What are you on about? Jeez.... All I did was point out the alleged political tones to the killing of Lee Rugby and how different it was to the crazed, probably schizophrenic, attack on the train last weekend. Are you on meds yourself?

An understanding of sarcasm and a sense of humour seem to have passed you by, Regardless of that I am proud to say that I have absolutely no knowledge of firearms and have no desire to associate with any of the the weirdos who own guns, And as for what gun owners think, I could not be less interested. I put them in the same category as Trainspotters

Not very English sounding and several people on here would immediately link a name that to a likely offender, rather than a hero Samir was the LNER guard who prevented more casualties on that train and was hailed by police, as a hero.

I don't think even in most of India they treat him quite as perfect as the Attenborough movie did. Very questionable character. I'd argue had there been no World War 2, India would not have got independence. Nothing Ghandi did really was anything - it's all mythical in my opinion. After world war 2 the Americans made it clear to Britain it could not hang onto land like that, whilst at the same time rallying against Germany for doing the same thing.

The police stats are woeful because so much crime is not even reported now, let alone prosecuted. That's an over generalisation. It is much more nuanced than that. Some areas are more dangerous, others much safer. For example, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham are much safer and much better places to live now compared to when I growing up in Brixton in the '70s. On the other hand, areas such as Croydon are a lot worse. For the most serious crime (murder), London is an extremely safe city compared with other major cities (1.2 murders per 100000 population). This figure is way below New York (4.0), Bangkok (2.2) and most European cities e.g. Berlin (3.4).

That’s quite a funny way of thinking. So when you meet a gay “Muslim,” you assume his behavior represents an alternative version of Islam? That’s actually a rather prejudiced (even racist) view - it implies that everyone whose parents were born in a Muslim country automatically and inevitably represents Islam. But what if those people aren’t Muslims at all? Like fake Muslims, nominal Muslims or even atheists? Are you denying those possibilities?

I also don't know what is a 'Gay' version of Christianity. In any event, do you expect 2bn followers of a religion to all think and act in exactly the same way? Christians certainly don't, why should you expect Muslims to be any different? 5 minutes ago, Hellfire said: That’s actually a rather prejudiced (even racist) view How can you possibly think my inference that individual Muslims might interpret their religion (the Koran) in different ways is " .. prejudiced (even racist)"? 5 minutes ago, Hellfire said: - it implies that everyone whose parents were born in a Muslim country automatically and inevitably represents Islam. No it doesn't. I have no idea how you can possibly come to that conclusion. 5 minutes ago, Hellfire said: But what if those people aren’t Muslims at all? Like fake Muslims, nominal Muslims or even atheists? Are you denying those possibilities? An atheist is, by definition, not a Muslim. I assume that the same would apply to a 'fake' Muslim, although I don't really understand what this means. If by 'nominal', you mean Muslims who 'cherry pick' which bits of the Koran they believe and act upon then no, I'm not denying that possibility, the exact opposite in fact, I am saying that these individuals exist. You posed the question, "Should this - my insertion: the fact that the train hero may be Muslim - make me reconsider my personal views about the dangers of Islamic ideology?" and I replied, "Assuming Mr. Zitouni is a Muslim and identifies as such then yes, as his behaviour provides an example of an alternative version of Islam to the violent one which you depict". Nothing you have said contradicts my view that you should reconsider your views although - to state the blindingly obvious - it is entirely up to you whether you do so.

November 5, 2025Nov 5 Good article giving more details about Samir Zitouni, who we now know is the LNER employee being hailed as a hero for saving passengers on the train during the frenzied knife attack by a British-born man, Anthony Williams. Quote The 48-year-old Algerian-born customer experience host with over 20 years at London North Eastern Railway (LNER), is hailed as a hero for courageously intervening during a mass stabbing attack on November 1, 2025, aboard a Doncaster-to-London train ... Socially, Zitouni's tale counters divisive rhetoric. As an Algerian immigrant, his heroism dismantles stereotypes, showcasing how multiculturalism bolsters national resilience. Commentators note it as a "full-circle" moment: the son of immigrants protecting the nation that welcomed him. Who is Samir Zitouni?
