Rascism. You are finally starting to think. Shilpa has opened your eyes. Now, as all you whites believe that yours is the supreme race and all others are subordinate(the slaves in history, colonialism in the recent past...). Well. Good to see you awake. I think you need to learn more of Gandhiji's struggle in South Africa. Cricketer followers will be knowing what Herschell Gibbs said. You whites may not be knowing what your ancestors did to us a century or more ago. Yeah, you invented machines, you invented guns. Yeah, we are a bit behing you in terms of technology. But yes... continue to look around you... many people you see are asians. Yes. We are at the recieving end right now. You may be looking down to us. But the heck. Shipa made it to Big brother. Many more will follow.
I don't mind being reported. I'm giving you a piece of my mind. All can comment.

English are called poms, Scottish- Jocks/ Scotch, British- Brits,
Americans-yanks etc and get on with it. Why are they acceptable and others which I wont say for fear of being called racist are classed as racist. No offence anybody

In Quran, it claims that Allah (the God of muslims, moon God according to historians) in Elephant Chapter (Surat Al-Feel) claims that Ethiopians sent elephants to destroy the Allah house and that Allah sent birds bombing the elephants with rocks, so he intervened to protect what so called his house... why can't he instead protect people's homes and people lives from destruction, tsunami and other disasters.

isn't that considered Selfish from Allah according to you?

When I see a person doing sign language to a programme on TV, I often wonder whether they are translating every single word or is it a general description? Do they translate names? If so, how is, say, the Eiffel Tower signed out?

I know that there is a war on, and that terrorism is a threat, AND that many muslims feel unfairly treated (crazily, as ALL terrorists caught so far have been muslim). We all know this.

But living in London I feel sooooo bombarded with it all.
I cant open a paper, watch TV, or even use the internet without having these issues pushed into my face. Honestly, I tried to watch TV the other night, and all 5 normal channels had programs about Islam and Muslims.
IS ANY ONE ELSE FED UP WITH IT TOO?
Im all for equality, and ending the war, and anti-terrorism, BUT there is only so much I can take.

This is only an observation, but why are white men who date Asian women often tall, skinny,lanky, wear glasses and meek looking (Kind of like the John Lennon look). Is it some subsurvience thing? Yes I know I may be generalizing, but I want to know if you have observed this also.

A prophet can bear record of himself. the Qu'ran reveals Muhammed Muahammed reveals the Qu'ran...We are not sure if Jesus is the Christ or Messiah...he can only be confirmed by the Qu'ran 600 years after the fact. We do not know if the Quran call all previous scriptue devine revelation or corrupt? All we really know is Jesus is not God because Muahhmed said so and there is no tritnity becuase Muhammed said so. and all previous scriputre and prophets words are corrupt and cant be trusted because Muhmmed said so///thier in effect is no word of God prior ot Muahmmed and there will be no word of God after Muhammed...therefore Muahmmed speaks for God and all the prophets now and forever....Is this the whole of the Muslim religion?

Matthew 7:3 "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"

Matthew 7:4 "Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, 'Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye;' and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?"

Matthew 7:5 "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."
