This little tale will stick with me for a long time.
About a year ago, i was fishing on the sheffield canal, near Meadowhall, between the Tinsley Viaduct and the roadbridge,there were a few of us, it may have been a match, i can't remember. A Couple of young lads came walking by, Asian, no more than 13 yrs old. One of them asks me, " caught owt mister??" I said yeah, a few...then he said " you know what i'm gonna be when ah grow up? A terrorist!"
Now those that know me will tell you i'm not often lost for words, but on this occasion i was!
It may have been bravado, who knows, but i hope his parents are proud!:loopy:

oh, and his parting shot? " i already know how to make a dirty bomb!"

That is truely troubling but there are some cheeky young whipper snappers around... Could have been just winding you up the wrong way... :confused:

hello, kids...micky take.....

Some of the temps where I used to work used to say they were all going to kill all Christians and we all called them the Taliban. stupid fooling

Some lads went up to me on Abbeydale road a few years ago, one shoved his fist under my chin, and shouted "Kill Americans!" I politely declined.

I used to be a security manager. The somalis that worked for the company were all full of the stereotypical extremist muslim rhetoric often predicting that there would be a day soon when the moslems would all unite and slaughter non-moslems 'as they slept in their beds'.

I'm still waiting ;)

And yet Blair and other leading politicians say that multiculturalism has improved Britain.

It has. There are more than enough white kids who want to go around killing everything, why make the distinction?

.............in bed? any excuse to stay in bed innit? :)

As a multi-cultural society we had improved. We were always going to get blips along the way with the odd attack here and there but generallky things had improved.

We had managed to reduce the level of racism to non-white folk although we had a time when i felt that racism had been tuned on its head and you only had to sneeze to be classed as a racist.

I remember vividly the time i had to stop an asian lad for damaging property in a private building (where i worked). He just turned to my face and called me racist and said he'd have my job. I've had similar a few times but nothing as extreme.

With the London bombings things have taken a step back and unfortunatly i'd say we live in times where young muslim men look up to terrorist. rather than decrease i think the numbers will increase. I think the Muslim community now needs to open up a little more. (Let me explain before someone jumps donw my throat!)

I've always admired the Muslim community for the way they generally stick together, they ensure that fellow Muslims dont run short (see another thread on Muslims calling door to door) and greet each other like brothers. It's something us Brits need to learn to do better. However, in sticking together i often wonder if the same Muslims hold back vital information and turn a blind eye to some of the activities of extremists. Surely what happened of late wasn't fully behind close doors!

When we say "multi-culturism" what we really mean is being forced as a society to accommodate the Muslim culture with often no signs of integration at all. The result is a largely segregated society and an "us and them" situation. A multi-racial, single culture would've been far more socially beneficial.

I may be wrong but you seem to be falling into the same trap as the young muslims when they go on about a conspiracy by the west and particularly USA, against all muslim countries and all at the instruction of the Jews. Suspicions may be justified in the context of what happened in London and no number of assurances can change that, only time will tell. In conspiracy theories of course there are usually no limits to imagination, and if that makes sense to you then go for it.
