I am interested in donating and listening to all updates . I support the nottingham secular society and wish to remain involved and updated.
Thanks. Will add you to our mailing list.
I finally have to agree that we do need to deport all Muslims from the USA. We are well aware of the face of terror. If you study Islam and Sharia Law, their beliefs should be of great concern to us in the USA. The reality is Muslims hate America and have for many years. We must not underestimate this current threat to our national security.
Don’t be ridiculous. Do we get rid of all Americans because of US-led militarism? Or how about all Christians because of child sex abuse in the church. Learn to make a distinction between Muslims and Islamism. The US government has more of a hand in encouraging Islamism than many Muslims have – now who are you going to deport? Stop targetting people and scapegoating them and start joining efforts like ours that focus on Islamism.
This is absurd. There are many different types of Muslims as there as humans. Stop scapegoating Muslims for the crimes of Islamism. If you deport all Muslims, you deport many people who have fled Islamism and fought against it, including many members of my family that hate sharia and Islamism. I can’t deal with your racism by deporting you either – this is a political issue that must be dealt with politically and not by attacking citizens.
It’s fair to say there are as many differing opinions on this matter as there are human beings or as many different kinds of muslim. For example, as much as I support your one law for all organisation, I equally support a more direct approach to the sharia law and islamic issues.
Sadly you have been persuaded to splinter your own supporters. A gap is now forming between those of us who also listen to Geert Wilders, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Sam Harris, Robert Spencer and as a result joined the British Freedom Party to take things into parliament. The awfully named Enemies not Allies publication and now your use of the term racist in this comment, worries me.
This is NOT the time to splinter our support. It is time to build bridges, come to a consensus of opinions and organise a united opposition. In my humble opinion as someone who has seen the best and worst of islam (Ex soldier and ex British university staff member.) There is a real need to at least discuss forcible deportation of extremists and those who support them. Anjem Choudary and his cronies to Saudi Arabia via Guantanamo, for example.
This is not about splintering supporters. The far-Right are not our supporters – they are our enemies. They are in fact closer to the Islamists than they are to us. We have explained in detail why this is so. That you have an affinity with them and see them as a supporter shows how little you understand of the situation. I defend human rights in Iran but won’t support the US’ bombing of Iran for so-called ‘human rights’ because in politics one must also see what is meant by certain statements. Action also speaks louder than words. Just because the EDL or Spencer say they are anti-Sharia isn’t sufficient. Their actions and their scapegoating of Muslims and immigrants for Islamism’s crimes speaks louder than a few words – though of course there are also plenty of words which show that they have no place in a pro-rights movement that wants equality for all. Your joining the BFP shows clearly that you have no place in our movement. We oppose the Islamists and the far-Right unequivocally. Our allies are people who are opposed to all religious laws and who want equality and freedom for everyone, including Muslims.
