Nobody brought Israel up until you did. Don't make excuses for yourself. Were you trying to be a smartass or wanting to victimize israeli's? Both are pathetic, you're pathetic.

I've presented you an article regarding this in another thread a few days ago and it doesn't come from a right wing extremist as you label me but a reputed US analyst.I'm sure you've heard this before but i actually do have muslim friends,i'm not calling for what you're saying in here,i'm just telling you that it will lead there if something doesn't change,and it will lead there just because we're all humans and this is human nature.When a group is scared it will lash out and it often lashes out indiscriminately,as we've seen throughout history.I actually want for this not to happen but it is my opinion that certain things have to change for this to be achieved but that's a long discussion for another thread.
What's this "your goverment"?.On a quick look on your flags i think you should ask this question directly to "your" goverment rather than "mine"=or don't you feel British despite living there ?-.And yes,we can moan all we want when people get killed by imported scum who were offered a home in here.We have every God damn right to do this,as well as pointing fingers.

And in response to that I say I have (had) some friends who turned out to support such fascist movements, oblivious to their own experienced with Muslims. I'm not trying to vilify you, if I didn't think there was any hope, I wouldn't have spared even a minute let alone post and quote multiple times. Also tag me in that thread again so that I may read it again, it seems I've forgotten which one you're talking about.

THEIR law actually states NO DISCRIMINATION based on gender/ religion and race....unless it is alien to them and separated by your mental level...it is not demanding something "New"
Usually those who stand up have a brain or have seen the world ...while those who remain silent are really just hate mongers

Let me dumb it down for you. I misread ISREAL in the hashtag as ISRAEL hence asked what does it have to do with all this.
Another guy came up with this gem as an answer :"Most of the airlines in the use have majority share holdings by Jews. Every Jew is a citizen of Israel. This is the only link."
That's how it was mentioned.
I'm aware of your butthurt but come to your senses mate. You can't insult people like that just for writing the name.

Apparently both the stewardess and the man who yelled out have tried it out and are convinced it can be used to knock someone out ....
And SOME indians justifying this is hilarious beyond reason!

Well I am not privy to the situation in Europe , but was there not a pew research which showed a fair percent of Muslims support sharia law and beheading of Danish cartoonist. Pew research is considered quite reliable isn't it?

Can Diet Coke Be Used as a Weapon 30,000 Feet in the Air?
United Airlines faces backlash after 'Islamophobic' episode involving Northwestern University chaplain and a can of Diet Coke.
A United Airlines flight attendant refused to give a passenger an unopened can of Diet Coke aboard a United flight, saying the woman could use the can as a weapon, the passenger claims.
The woman, Tahera Ahmad, an interfaith chaplain at Northwestern University and prominent religious scholar, posted her story on Facebook, setting off a social media backlash Saturday morning against United Airlines.
Ahmad says she was offered an open can but asked for an unopened can for sanitary reasons. The flight attendant refused, saying to do so was against airline policy.
“No Diet Coke for you,” the flight attendant declared, according to Ahmad.
Ahmad says the flight attendant then handed the man seated next to her an unopened can of beer. After seeing that, Ahmad asked for an explanation, and the flight attendant told her unopened cans can be used as weapons.
Ahmad replied that she was clearly being discriminated against, noting the unopened can of beer. Ahmad claims the flight attendant grabbed the man’s beer and opened it for him and said “it’s so you don’t use it as a weapon.”
Ahmad looked to fellow passengers for some acknowledgment the flight attendant was being discriminatory. And for that, she was brought to tears.
A man in the aisle next to her leaned over, Ahmad claims, and said, “You Moslem, you need to shut the f--- up. ... You know you would use it as a weapon, so shut the f--- up.”
Ahmad wears the traditional head covering of Muslim women.
it’s routine on many flights for flight attendants to hand unopened beverage cans to passengers.
As of yet, United Airlines hasn’t replied to requests for comment or explanation on the incident or its policy, nor has the airline replied to the many people on Twitter who are raising protests with the hashtag #UnitedforTahera.
POSTED ON FACEBOOK
In 2010, Ahmad was the first Muslim woman to be appointed by the university to a chaplaincy. She’s the director of interfaith engagement at the school. According to her biography, she was raised in Morton Grove and graduated from Niles West High School, where she played varsity basketball. She studied at Hartford Seminary in Connecticut and was the Muslim chaplain/advisor and Mt. Holyoke College in Massachusetts. She’s featured in the PBS documentary The Calling, about faith and youth leadership.
The university notes that she’s worked with the U.S. State Department, leading workshops on cultural awareness and religious diversity.
Last fall, Ahmad traveled to Indonesia to participate in the International Qur’an Recitation Competition. She was the first American woman ever to do so. She told North by Northwestern that prejudices shouldn’t stop Muslims from practicing their faith and honoring traditions.
“While we have our own challenges, we celebrate diversity in several ways. We can truly experience our traditions and still be proud Americans,” she said, adding that she was a proud Northwestern Wildcat, too. “I was really honored to represent NU. I even wore a purple hijab the day of!”

You see, 1 wrong move and you are on the watch list to becoming famous:
Well done United Airlines twice in a week must be a record!
The indians supporting the above incident kindly show equal bigotry at this:
United Airlines cabin crew 'kick pregnant singer off plane because of her crying toddler'
Seven-month pregnant Sarah Blackwood claims she was unfairly thrown off flight because her two-year-old son was crying
Sarah Blackwood was kicked off the plane because her baby was crying

If you take a young child on a plane, there will amost certainly be tears at some point. And understandably so.
While this may be frustrating for other passengers, most would argue that it's not worth being thrown off a plane for.
However, a seven-month pregnant woman claims she in this very situation when she took her son, two, on a United Airlines flight.
The Canadian singer, from the band Walk Off The Earth, was so furious she took to social media to complain about her treatment.
The angry mother said she was "disgusted and exhausted" in a post on her Facebook page.
She also tweeted about how she was treated, gained support from others who called for a boycott of the airline.
Rachel Ann posted on the singer's Facebook and said: "Today Sarah Blackwood was kicked off a UNITED AIRLINES flight because her 22-month-old toddler was crying. This is discriminatory, intolerant and uncharitable.
"The airline staff who told her to 'control' her crying baby should be reprimanded for unnecessarily kicking a seven-month pregnant mother off her flight, especially considering that by the time the plane was filled with gas, her son was sound asleep. Please boycott #unitedairlines for being #ignorant, #discriminatory, and #intolerant. #motherhaters #worstcustomerservice #unitedairlinesucks"
Paul William Moore was on the flight, and wrote to United: "I was on UA Flight 6223 from San Francisco to Vancouver today at 1:34 PM. Two rows in front of me sat an eight-month pregnant single mom with her 2 year old toddler. Evidently the child was upset about being on the flight and even though the mother was trying her best to stop her from crying, she would not."
"The only person that was not empathetic to the clearly stressful situation was the flight attendant, who warned the mother 3 times to keep her kid quiet. Sure enough the flight attendant followed through on her warning and had the plane return from taxiing to position on the runway back to the airport.
"By this time the chid is now fast asleep. We then spent the next 75 minutes while the flight crew escorted the mother and child off the plane and the cargo crew removed all the luggage off the plane in order to find her bags. Everyone on that flight was shocked at how unprofessional, unreasonable and insensitive a certain member of your staff acted!"

Skywest Airlines, which operates United, defended cabin crew's actions.
A spokesman said in a statement: "Despite numerous requests, the child was not seated, as required by federal regulation to ensure passenger safety, and was repeatedly in the aisle of the aircraft before departure and during taxi.
"While our crews work to make travelling safe and comfortable for all travellers, particularly families, the crew made the appropriate decision to return to the gate in the interest of safety."
Blackwood argued that her son had never been in the aisle. She told CBS news: "I had a window seat, there was a gentleman beside me, there's no way he could have been running around in an aisle, because it was impossible,"
"I don't want to cause a scene, ever, it just makes my life harder."
Cabin crew were apparently so enraged by Sarah Blackwood's crying toddler they turned around the plane and asked the pair to leave.

I meant European because you were speaking on behalf of all European countries and i said that when some countries get involve in war of others then they also face the consequences of it just like PAKISTAN also paid and still paying the price in this war on terror of America. You better just speak on behalf of your country which is romania so you have no right to speak for others countries. How many Romanian soldier got beheaded on streets? Were your soldiers part of NATO forces in this war on terror? How Many muslims were offered home and social benefits in Romania? lol You facking act as if you own all Europe when its your eastern european people who come here and claim benefits straight away and also get involve in many crimes and in sex trafficking

Bring your search and then we will talk about it. If some British Muslims ask for sharia law in uk which seem naive and unrealistic demand then it don't mean they will get what they ask for but its their constitutional right to criticise their government or to have freedom of expression. There are people who living outside uk but trying to be more loyal to UK than those live in there
