Actually he was ambushed and when let to speak he made sense. The BNP is the only hope for our limey amigos. They really are in worse shape than us if its possible as the thought police are out to get anybody not politically correct. They dont have the same freedoms of speech that we have,, or once had .

We can see the bias of the BBC when they invite Griffin to talk and question him about Islam. It seems like a deliberate plan by BBC to brand anybody who doesn't like Islam as being racist. They were just setting Griffin up.

Has the BBC ever had a Sikh or Hindu on TV to question him about Islam? Has the BBC ever acknowledged in any way the muslim slaughter of Hindus?

Perish the thought. What would the BBC do if a non-white came on TV to criticize Islam?

Kat, I thought you were disgusted with Griffin. Now you say you are disgusted with the BBC? I don't get it. What are you trying to say?

Griffin is speaking for a lot of people in the UK who feel they cannot express their views any more for fear of being branded "racist". Islam is not a race. Hindus, Sikhs, and Pakistanis are all the same race. However, I would bet that the majority of English people accept Hindus and Sikhs as being, for the most part, good citizens. The Pakistanis are something different. I am a brown guy just like they are, but as far as I am concerned, the muslim pakis are garbage. Hindus and Sikhs who live in India look upon them the same way. But if some white Englishman says such a thing, he is "racist".

But the UK has a piece of paki garbage like Anjem Chaudery who receives British welfare? And this guy wants sharia law in the UK? And then people self righteously criticize a guy like Griffin for being "racist"? This Chaudery is that same piece of muslim paki garbage who publicly stated that he had no problem with the 7/7 subway killings because a non muslim is not, as far as he is concerned, an innocent.

How do you expect the likes of Griffin to respond? I don't suppose Griffin would be very nice to a brown Hindu guy like me, but I don't think he has advocated killing any of my kind.

Kat, Will Durant summed up pretty well what we see happening in Europe right now.

"Every form of government tends to perish by excess of its basic principle."

I'd still like to see the tally sheet of how much white christians are paying in the world....for everything, shipped grains to africa, welfare, non-paying blacks in america, islam, all of it....and how much they contribute....

ok...so they got some real estate with oil...whey do you think we are not drilling on US soil....of course to burn their reserves out and drive them back to their mud huts....after the oil is gone...then use ours last...

be productive or go away, pay your portion or go away..... don't look for hand outs, welfare, being a babby mamma, "getten yo chek"......

heavy tax payers in the US have had it....

Well Kat, as a non-white maybe I shouldn't like the BNP. But it wasn't the BNP who terrorized Mumbai a year ago. Those guys were pakis.

It wasn't a BNP member who slaughtered that Hindu captive in Mumbai last year when he told his paki captor that he was Hindu.

Ask a Muslim what he thinks about Jews , Christians Hindus or Budists. If you are any of the above, you are considered less than human. All of the above religions are tolerant to extremely tolerant of other's religious beliefs. Muslims believe that anyone who is not a Muslim is an INFIDEL! They will treat a dog better than any human who is a non/Muslim. They will be nice to your face but I know what goes on and what they say when they are among themselves. I think it is awesome that someone would stand up and speak the truth, especially a politician. Liberal Senator Robert Bird of South Carolina was once a member of the KKK and so were a lot of old timers but that was a different eara. Do you want to shoot all of the Germans who supported and elected Hitler. There would be no grandmas or grandpas left in Germany or Austria or France.

Vinod,

Hindus are the most peaceful people on the planet. I have met and worked with many and have formed close relationships with all of them. My youngest daughter is considering it as her choice of religion. My best friend on this earth is a Hindu. When was the last time anyone ever saw a Hindu try to convert you to their religion?

Juepaje, Hindus are not perfect. We have our faults too. I wish we never had this business of "untouchables". I am ashamed of that. Thankfully it is starting to change.

But you are right. Hindus do not proselytize.

But I am quick to point out that Hindus have a history of, for the most part, peacefully co-existing with non-Hindus such as Christians, Jews, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Parsis, even though nothing is ever perfect. When the muslim invaders persecuted Parsis in Persia, Hindus (I am proud to say) gave them refuge in India where Parsis still practice their faith freely.

In India, Hindus get along reasonably well with just about all religious groups except muslims. But then muslims can't even get along with each other. I consider every single muslim on the Indian sub-continent (including Pukeistan) to be a traitorous interloper.

Hindus look down on Persians. Persians knuckled under to to muslim invaders almost without a fight. That's fundamentally why I hold no hope for there ever being substantive change in Iran. Hindus preserved ther religion, language, and culture against the muslim onslaught, but at a huge price in blood.

I am very familiar with how the Indo Canadian community interacts. Muslim vitriol against Hindus is particularly acute. They really hate us.
