    Default London riots

    After a second night of mayhem, not just in Tottenham but now also in Brixton, Enfield, Waltham Forest, Islington and Oxford Circus, can members explain to me what's what?

    During the 2005 Paris riots we were told by Louis and others that islam was to blame.

    I suppose Christianity is to blame for the Tottenham riots, since most of the local inhabitants are from Christian communities.

    How do we deal with the Christian mob violence in our innner cities?

    I blame the destruction of social cohesion by the double onslaught of retreating governments and the social disintegration of civic society because of multiculturalism.

    I didn't blame Islam, did I? I am quite secular in my fascism so I just blame immigrants outright.


    I do remember you smiting me with endless essays by your favourite philosophes arguing that anything and everything, except Islam, had anything to do with Musim youth being the most violent and criminal in all of France.

    No, my friend, these are predominantly white Christian boroughs. I looked into the Metropolitan Police's crime stats and it appears that property crime and rape are very high in Christian areas such as Haringey and Enfield. Must have something to do with their belief in the afterlife, they just don' t value this life as much as the rest of us do I guess.

    This begs the question: how well are Christians integrated in today's society? Shouldn't we conclude that this multireligiousness nonsense has been a failure and that modern society just can't cope with a high concentration of Christians in one place?

    or perhaps we should conclude that large and poorly integrated immigrant communities are responsible for most of the crime and violence in the areas they inhabit.

    You mean, as integrated in the Christian tradition out of which society arose , I'd say well integrated. D'66-ers on the other hand...

    I still blame the muslims, how dare they continue to make people feel uneasy about various things
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Narses went directly to the Blues' section, where he approached the important Blues and reminded them that Emperor Justinian supported them over the Greens. He also reminded them that the man they were crowning, Hypatius, was a Green. Then, he distributed the gold. The Blue leaders spoke quietly with each other and then they spoke to their followers. Then, in the middle of Hypatius's coronation, the Blues stormed out of the Hippodrome. The Greens sat, stunned. Then, Imperial troops led by Belisarius and Mundus stormed into the Hippodrome, killing the remaining rebels.

    About thirty thousand rioters were reportedly killed.[4] Justinian also had Hypatius executed and exiled the senators who had supported the riot. He then rebuilt Constantinople and the Hagia Sophia, and was free to establish his rule.

    This is caused by what the left has said for years and years - poverty.

    The difference between the rich and the poor has increased dramatically, so it's only natural that events like this occur.

    "christians"
    "rioting"

    Implying the Bible (and the epistles of Paul in particular) even allows rioting instead of unconditional submission to the state, even the diocletian persecutions were met with unresisted martyrdom. Me thinks those are poor, leftwing atheists.

    Or would someone that adhered to this riot against the destruction of social security?

    Really, if every white man is a Christian, is every brown man a muslim then?

    And Diocletian persecutions were pointless genocide, the supression of the Nika riots were just, like uhm, the supression of riots?

    Nah, the Christian churches have a lot of explaining to do. Have you seen what they preach in these areas? The Jamaicans are taught that the West is Babylon, the whore of the world. The Irish and Nigerians in Haringey or Enfield are told by their Catholic clergy that the Church of England and all other Protestants are heretics. The Ghanese have all these Adventist and Presbyterian churches where they are taught that modern western society with all its temptations is the devil incarnate.

    Why can't they all be chavs and binge drinkers like the rest of Britain? Then you wouldn't be having this trouble.

    Ah, because different christian groups don't like eachother and modernism, anarchist scum are setting London aflame. Makes NO sense at all.
    In fact, those chavs are now burning down London, be glad christians aren't like that.

    Societies predate Christendom in the British Isles for starters (Druids for instance) and everywhere else for that matter. Christianity is a reflection of the environment of the worshippers... earlier religions were more animal spirits, then half animal-man (think Egyptian), then groups of manlike beings (Greek Pantheon), then a paternal religion reflecting the civics of the period.

    So your statement is the wrong way round. Christianity arose out of society, society did not rise out of Christianity.

    Because they all loath modern western society, that's why. Their Christian god tells them that the rest of us are doomed unless we adopt their faith and submit. This is the result of years and years of Christian indoctrination and it has been happening right under our noses.

    I think the ironic characterisation of "Christian responsibility" to make a rather tired point has had quite enough airing. It is now bordering on religion bashing and deliberate provocation whilst not having much merit as a debating point.

    There is plenty to discuss about these riots without resorting to caricature.

    (And yes, before the wounded rules lawyers pipe up, I've admonished the same attitude when it's paraded at Muslims).

    So why is this rioting taking place in London and not the much poorer parts in the north or in Scotland/Wales?

    lmao

    Anyway, I couldn't help but notice that the vast majority of rioters that I've seen in the pics are black or brown.

    Mr. Duggan was also at least mixed-race.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
