I don't think Muslims do one minute silences.hence why the Saudis footy team totally ignored the one in the recent game v the Aussies.

What about Adrian Ismey or the two young lads gunned down by the IRA while collecting pizzas at the barracks in Antrim?
Your original post is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to claim we are all racists for not having a minutes silence for an awful tragedy that claimed someones life.
I didn't have one for PC palmer at my school. Does that make me hate the police?
This constant (and I hate the term) "PC madness" is one of the reasons we have poor inter community relations in the first place.
You need to relx and stop reading into shit that isn't there in the first place.

Competitive mourning, can see it at the next Commonwealth games, but only for the pale nations obviously

a) only one person involved has died and b) he may already have been dead before the attack.
Do you want a minutes silence for every person who dies?

For about the tenth time on this thread is it not because they don't know that anyone died as a result of this attack? You don't have a minutes silence when no one has died, the one death, as far as I know, might not be related to the twat in the van

I dunno there will be loads of people that don't get a minutes silence....maybe we could do it on a daily basis, that way no one gets forgotten.....although you'd have to find something else to bitch and moan about

Have to say it was a pretty profound experience tbh....I am a militant atheist but like when I have run crazy distances in ultra marathons it is sometimes good to experience real discomfort and deprivation. We live an incredibly privileged life, we largely want for nothing and to push through pain and discomfort can be a great reminder of just how easy we have it.....I literally nearly ended myself on my longest ultra and have to say the next year of my life was a doddle as things that had previously bugged the shit out of me were easy in comparison to falling apart physically and mentally after 120 odd miles of running. Very similar to Ramadan after heading out on the bike in the mid day sun for 30 miles, coming home and realising there was still 8 hours till I could have a drink. The food bit (which I has assumed would be a nightmare) was easy, the thirst was brutal
I didnt complete the month, got ill with gastroentiritis (not Ramadan related) but too sick to carry on.....Will deffo do it again next year though.
Read through this thread, then read through the previous terror attack threads, then come back and tell me that there is no difference.....Funny thing is some of you have actually convinced yourself its about numbers rather than the fact you are clearly closet racists and Muslim lives simply are not as important.

Not asking them to, we do, why are we not showing our respects?
Loads of victims of terror attacks? Are there? Care to remind me of which ones?

So the guy just spontaneously dropped dead? That must be why the news could hardly be bothered to report it on day one and they pretty much didnt bother on day two.
And you were proved wrong on the very first one, didnt even bother checking the others after that.

1. No one died as a result of the attack.
2. There is a suspect in custody, a trial will no doubt ensue, reporting has to be dealt with differently so a fair trial can be heard, and the jury aren't prejudiced.

In a terror attack? Absolutely.......If you made that glib statement after London bridge you would be savaged on here....Lets be honest, many on here think that those in Finsbury Park mosque desevered it, they are not arsed about a minutes silence cause really they simply dont give a fuck.

Not think you should do some sort of Jewish observance next year, I'd hate for you to be labelled anti semetic for ignoring the Jews.

Nobody who is an atheist would describe themselves as a "militant atheist". That is a nonsense term coined by theists.
No one knows what happened, as far as I know the cause of death hasn't yet been ascertained. It was reported that he had collapsed before the van attack, however, therefore they don't know if he was hit and killed by the van or whether he had died from a heart attack or similar before it happened. Regardless of your point about numbers, there does need to be a number of at least 1 for a minutes silence, that's what a minutes silence is for, to remember the dead. Currently they don't know whether the attack claimed any lives so they can't very well have a minutes silence

Pretty pointless tbh,making a gesture to people who are oblivious to it and don't recognise it.

There's terror attacks all over the world on pretty much a daily basis, do you observe a minutes silence for all of those too? Or are uk terror attacks more important?In a terror attack?
