Also the famous book by Edward Said called Orientalism had the effect of helping to turn any derivative of Orient into a pejorative.
The no go area printed looks rather phallic, but that's one bag full of nuts.

Shame. I always saw the word positively- Oriental sounds exotic and cool. If you ignore Leyton Orient.
That idiot would say we let his descendants into the country and that is how he is here. Trump will be banning Londoners next.
Apparently the guy being blamed is still in prison?
If it is confirmed Trevor Brooks aka "Abu Izzadeen" was the person it's a shame the authorities did not listen to ordinary Muslims for years. We have been complaining about Anjum Choudhry and his associates for years.
In fact, you will find threads on this forum of me and other Muslims being highly critical of Al-Muhajirun group.

They might listen to you now, should have done it ages ago.
Well apparently both ITV and C4 are saying it's him, but a BBC Newsnight reporter says a source has told him he's still in jail. At the moment I'd wait until the BBC itself confirms.
Probably what Farage was talking about when he said "You'll find out soon" regarding his talks with Assange.
What do you expect with the Sun. I don't think they did that without knowing.
Oh stop it, I'll react how I want thank you very much. Not that it's any of your business, but there's nothing even remotely political about my post.
Is it confirmed he is a radical islamist?
No. Until Scotland Yard say so then it's just rumor.
Got people saying they've spoken to his solicitor who says he's still in prison.
Just wondering, though I could probably guess the answer, are you against Sharia law?
FIFA does.....
If you're going to make statements on a forum it's everybody's business and right to respond. That's how things work around here.
Maybe wait another hour or two before lamenting the conduct and culpability of the west in relation to these types of events and people won't call you out on it.
Yet seemingly okay with the law changing to suit your beliefs? How do you balance those two?
So the attacker (if indeed the story is true) is a convert. Probably the most dangerous group, followed by those from a Muslim background who largely ignored their mainstream religious upbringing before suddenly "reconnecting" under the malign influence of a radical preacher.
Unfortunately I don't think we'll ever stamp this out as, looking beyond this particular religion, it's basically a question of misfits suddenly finding something that explains their inadequacies and puts them at the centre of the drama. Even in Europe, we had the appeal of quasi-religions such as fascism and communism giving various inadequates a sense of power over others, and there might be other such poisons to come.
Until then, gather intelligence, intelligence and more intelligence and try to ignore the siren voices of the likes of Farage and Le Pen.

Tbf that is the Met's exclusion zone I guess.
There's usually false identifications with journalists fighting to be the first.
Shariah law dictates Muslims follow the laws and rules of the country of residence.
Do you really believe a few Millon Muslims are so powerful as to overthrow UK's constitution and democracy?
Apologies for being off topic.
Well you seemed to suggest you wouldn't see assault as assault if it was aimed at them.
Absolutely, this
The problem is that he pinched his sons.
What a clusterfeck. Rolling news, everybody.
Geographically, yes the middle east is part of Asia. But I agree, if you think of an Asian person you will think of either someone from Japan/China/Korea i.e. the far east or else someone from India/ Pakistan.
Technically, something like 21% of Russia is in the continent of Europe and the rest is in Asia.
should that also include Farage et al? Hate speech comes in all guises.
Im interested where and how you define the line?
If you get sentenced to two years in prison, you will probably be out in one or just over with good behaviour, meaning it is possible that that man is out. Whether or not he committed the attacks today is another matter.
Oops. Crazy if that guy, who's clearly a scumbag, can profit from this through libel/slander suits.
Indeed. I also remember him being a fairly vocal advocate of free speech. Advocating kicking the shit out of people who say stuff you don't like doesn't really fit that particular agenda.
To be fair, would any of us really be that disappointed if Farage got a good smack in the mouth?
Very comprehensive and empathic post. The key is the reactions of the 99.9% law abiding British muslim population: somebody in this demographic will have prior knowledge of these attacks.
Islamaphobia and indiscriminate suspicion is the worst way to encourage law abiding Muslims to report close ones to the authorities for punishment. I think UK does quite a good job in making the distinction, French and US politicians have made irreversible mistakes in this regard.
