Default ashamed to be British

its bloody terrible that ethnic groups are starting to get a whole load of abuse after the bombings. Last night someone who i regard as one of my closest freinds turned round and said the BNP had the right attitude. Im sorry but that is bull and i cant beleive that anger is being directed towards decent British citizens.

It's fair enough that people are angry at the bombers surely?

It really bothers me that these people are automatically labelled as 'Muslim' or 'Islamic' terrorists.

They are terrorists. Like the IRA are terrorists and not 'catholic' terrorists, or the UDA are terrorists and not 'protestant' terrorists.

Labelling of people like that only leads to tensions being inflamed. And yet again the mass media is behind it, stoking up cultural divisions for the purpose of news creation.

Thankfully the BNP failed to win that London council seat.

fair enough to be angry at the bomber, but not everyone who is the same colour/ethnicity as them.

I don't know if I would go as far as to say I am ashamed to be British, but I do agree that it is a disgrace that good, innocent people are being hounded for what happened in London. Muslim groups have come out and said these people aren't real Muslims - they are killers and they have absolutely no connection to the many good, honest Muslim people living in the UK. It's a minority who are making this connection, a minority of brain-dead idiots and I would hope the people of Britain realise this. I had someone say to me yesterday 'it would never have happened if they didn't let these foriegn bastards into the country' - every other person in the room was disgusted by the comment, and rightly so. Groups like the BNP thrive of this sort of thing happened to get their racist, vile message across, but most people realise they are scum, as demonstrated by the many protests that take place during BNP rallies. I hate those bastards.

Peace,


Ryan

Thats not what i mean sharon. Directing your anger at Muslims , theres no need to blame them for what a minorty, extreme group of folk did. Like tv tanned says the muslim faith is not to blame here.

Agreed.

It's just rubbish that the media feels the need to stereotype people based upon appearance.

I am more ashamed of the fact that the bombers were dully just British. I want to know what drove them to it... though you can probably guess.
