Large gangs have been operating for centuries targeting certain people... this isn't new, and it certainly isn't because of Islam.

Bizarre video to show - a lot of people in that video didn't even appear to be muslims?

I didn't dodge your point. I just find it funny that a tiny number of 1.57bn muslims being paedophiles makes you run scared of a quarter of the worlds population.

Oh look, pretty much the same argument you're putting forward vs my own.

"It is time we took political correctness and threw it in the garbage where it belongs." - Brigitte Gabriel

Reality and logic is not the same thing as political correctness. There are a lot of points on both sides that I agree with (and then obviously disagree with on the other hand) in this thread, but making simple observations that can be proved without doubt is not pandering to anyone

Wait I'm confused. Is the entire basis of this thread just a slippery slope argument that because Labour have pledged to make hate crimes a crime that soon women won't be able to drive cars? **** off.

If I recall correctly, Miliband is showing he lacks knowledge of the current legal system which is quite worrying for a politician that probably voted in the legislation anyway. In theory, any sort of hate crime is already against the law. Creating separate crimes for Islamaphobia or anti-Semitism is just trying to win votes from people who don't know their rights already. It's a bit mean misleading people who are ignorant of the fact they're already protected by the law. The Equality Act 2010 and the Human Rights Act 1998 are still alive and well. It's yet another non-issue based on something that is poorly implemented.

He does the same with a lot of policies, it's scary how many people believe everything he says.

He says non-doms don't pay tax, which is one of the biggest lies of them all. Not only do they pay tax, the amount of tax all 115,000 of them pay is equivalent to that of 10 million 'living wage' workers.

The argument is that Labour will throw anybody under the bus when it comes to pleasing their third world voters.

From the thousands of English girls they sacrified for the 'diverse' vote, to working class tradesmen to gay people, women and free speech itself.
