Sad thing is I know someone who runs his own courier business - he has a white van - although I don't think he reads the sun.
The other day he said he'd had a chat with a Muslim bloke about the job etc, but didn't want to take him on because of "all the problems at the minute".
If I'd felt inclined I would have said, "Do you not think that by getting him involved with the business you might actually reduce the problem?" or something to that effect, but I thought better of it.

That wasn't a conversation you want to start when someone's given up a bit of their Saturday morning to pick up a dining table for you!

In Jesmond I'd guess it's the exception rather than the rule, in London, Brum, Manchester etc I'd guess there's more likelihood. Just a numbers game really.

But there is a different element to many muslims. They only socialise amongst themselves. Happy to crack on a graft but go home and live separate lives. (Not all muslims I may add)

The booze is a major factor.

To be fair though, I have next to nothing in common with my colleagues so I essentially come in, work, go home and socialise with who I want - when I can.

Shock, Horror. He's a "lone wolf". Of course he's not a terrorist.
And so the radicalisation goes on...

Do you not think he was a "lone wolf" ?

Edit: and did you read the article? It says "suspected terrorist".

Same here. I get on fine with my colleagues but don't necessarily want to socialise with them beyond work related things.

If he was brown and had a beard, the headline would have "Terrorist" or "Terror" in it.
I can almost guarantee it.

So like I said earlier because he's alive they have to be careful what they say. Hence "suspected".

You can say what you like about dead people, white or brown but if there is a trial coming, you can't.

You are just looking for a reason to be outraged, basically making things up. Someone can still be a terrorist and a "lone wolf", and as I've said, the article states "suspected terrorist".

I'm surprised you haven't highlighted the mental health claim as well and claimed they wouldn't have said that if he was "brown and had a beard".

You are looking for a conspiracy that isn't there I'm afraid.

Someone can indeed be a "lone wolf" and a terrorist. I suppose "suspected terrorist" doesn't quite fit in a banner headline.

Have you even seen the Tabloid Media in recent years? I'm not making anything up, you can see a catalogue of headlines and front pages.
It's not a conspiracy, it's a long established fact that many tabloids have an axe to grind against Muslims, or in fact some cases anyone who isn't White British.
They even mentioned that the bloke was "clean shaven"! Like that's important!

Sometimes I wonder what your motivation is on here

When you say "a long established fact", imo what you mean is "that's what I think" . It's not a fact but a matter of opinion. Maybe if there wasn't regular Islamic terrorism, the tabloids wouldn't be able to say "muslim terrorist" every other week. The Islamic terrorists basically give them news to fill up their papers. Should they not report on it?

And you wonder what my motivation is? Ffs, you posted an article and claimed it didn't say terrorist when in fact it said exactly that.

As you've quite rightly said "suspected".
And as someone else has pointed out "You can call them what you want if they're dead and haven't gone to trial".

It's not been Islamic terrorists filling up the papers for months though. It's been years of scaremongering by tabloid media about all sorts of "Islamification".
The tabloid media, Farage, Hopkins and Robinson are to blame as are anyone peddling Islamist Terrorist Ideologies.

I'll take your word for it then, I don't really read newspapers anymore.
