MrSmith Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 ..and of course there are a large number of Muslims serving in British forces. There are also likely people that support the aims of EDL serving in British forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) I think it's a HUGE number when you counter it against the belief amongst many that Muslims are pre-disposed towards treasonous behaviour. You can think what you like BF but it's not a huge number.. Considering the UK has about a 5% muslim population it's very under-represented in the forces.. ---------- Post added 29-05-2013 at 15:16 ---------- Does their service not count because they're only a small percentage of the armed forces? Not at all ,did I say that...? I was questioning BF's assertion of a "large" number.. Edited May 29, 2013 by truman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 There are also likely people that support the aims of EDL serving in British forces. Getting drunk, fighting the police and doing nazi salutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyfriday Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 You can think what you like BF but it's not a huge number.. Considering the UK has about a 5% muslim population it's very under-represented in the forces....and are you surprised? I think that has more to do with alienation than a lack of patriotism. ---------- Post added 29-05-2013 at 15:19 ---------- There are also likely people that support the aims of EDL serving in British forces. Perhaps so but they're rather more difficult to identify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Not at all ,did I say that...? You changed your answer. I prefered your first one. No, it's not a huge number. I asked you a question. I never claimed that you had said anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamrocker Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Is there actually any point in answering your posts if you don't take the time to read them? You asked why H4H would accept donations from UAF and not the EDL as both are political. My reply explained that. Yes I read them do you ? "It's the same for any political party, we don't allow political fundraising. As a charity, we're non-political." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSmith Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 ..given that many of you believe Muslims to have their own unpatriotic agenda weren't you surprised to encounter 2? Perhaps the right like to exaggerate this point...besides you're all getting rather worked up over only 2 terrorists. One could argue that infiltration of enemy forces is a good war tactic, and has been used by the Talban in Afghanistan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 One could argue that infiltration of enemy forces is a good war tactic, and has been used by the Talban in Afghanistan. How is that relevant to our Muslim service personnel. Are you suggesting they're our enemy or that the British army is theirs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
