I do support this boy in raising money and appreciate the service he is doing.

However, there is no reason to believe that the offender was against this service. The report clearly states he was intoxicated and I do not believe we should jump to conclusions due to any ethnic background. This is a horrific crime, but not necessarily a "disgrace" to the tradition of remembrance poppies - Just a disgrace as any other crime of this level would be.

No. Not at all. Do you dispute that certain ethnic groups have a higher incidence of animosity towards the armed forces?


Yes. Yes I do. Could you please provide us with proof that a black man is more likely to feel animosity towards the armed forces than your average white male?

New Connorstantinople wrote:Largely what i was thinking.

We have: a youth in military clothing attacked by a melanin-enriched gentleman in a country with a growing worry of jihadists.
I humbly suggest that this MAY be a islam-motivated crime.


Yes! That's it! He knew that we'd know he was a Jihadi, so he went against his religion and got drunk to disguise his nefarious Islamism! The perfect crime!


Same reason I don't support remembrance day parades, or took part at school.

It doesn't. It increases the probability of it being a motivated attack against a specific target group.

Uh, why? Also, still waiting for you to show me numbers suggesting that blacks and Asians hate the armed forces.

Amounts to the same thing. Racism, Islamophobia—both are bigotry.

Defense against jihad is not islamaphobia, and you'd be a moron to claim jihad isn't a large problem in todays world.

Totally. Nothing says 'fundamentalist Islam' like a loose and permissive interpretation of Quranic prohibitions against alcohol consumption.

First you'd have to prove that this is jihad. And before that, I'd imagine you'd have to prove the person was Muslim.

I would have said he should have just lit the poppies on fire but given that you can get arrested for doing that even if they're you're own he'd be fucked anyway. God forbid someone not hold the poppy as sacred.

Agreed, its quite obvious. In fact just to be safe why dont we lock all Muslims up?

Because obviously more crimes will happen if we dont.

He was an ethnic in a hoodie. Of course he was a Mohammedan! That's, like, the only religion those ethnics are.

I agree with Dumb Ideologies. Don't people know that it's stated in the Qur'an that you shouldn't drink?

Qur'an, 5:90 "O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah ], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful."

I'm pretty sure this guy wasn't Muslim.
