Minister grabs activist

[bobmac]

"Mayor of London Sadiq Khan welcomed the police action. “Violence against women is endemic in our society and this behaviour is unacceptable. He should consider his position,” Mr Khan added".

I wonder if he has read chapter 4 verse 34 of the Qur'an.

English translation

Admonish women who disobey (God's laws), do not sleep with them and beat them.

Sadiq Khan is a Muslim
His holy book is the Qur'an
The Qur'an gives instructions on when it is acceptable to beat your wife
Sadiq Khan says violence against women is unacceptable.

Do you not see the problem?

But he lives in the UK.
So is subject to UK law no matter what his religion is!

As an ardent hater of religion, I find it incredible that anyone believes but Islam doesn’t hold the monopoly of faith built on fear and hate.

We starting to be very generic - just because people are a certain faith doesn’t mean they agree with everything in that faith

Khan is the guy that was threatened because he voted for same sex marriage

Khan is a practising Muslim who observes the fast during Ramadan and regularly attends Al-Muzzammil Mosque in Tooting.Journalist Dave Hill described Khan as "a moderate, socially liberal Muslim".Khan has expressed the view that "too often the people who are 'representing' the Islamic faith aren't representative, they're angry men with beards. And that is not what Islam is about."

There are no doubt things in the bible that lots of Christians don’t agree with

I would take a guess at Glasgow. I know they had a knife crime problem a few years ago and the different agencies got together and made a concerted effort to tackle it. They have been very successful apparently.

Correct, and the success of the Glasgow operation is being totally ignored by everyone because....it involves joined up thinking and it costs money.

Knife crime in Scotland increased by 14.2%. Your joined up thinking won't change that.

Problem here is I don’t belive any statistics that are produced anymore.
Especially if they come out of a politicians mouth.

That is across Scotland. The Glasgow solution is specific to Glasgow. Have a look at it, it is a really interesting project that has been successful it should be celebrated. It shows how one agency alone can not solve this issue, it needs all parties to come together but if they do it can have great benefits. Who'd have thought .

You know Doon you have some excellent points to make, but your negativity turns people off reading what you say. The success of Glasgow is to be admired and is appreciated by those that want to see an end to knife crime throughout the whole of the UK. It was a point that was so passionately stressed on QT only last Thursday. I can assure you it is not " totally ignored by everyone". 👍

I'm well aware of that, either wise we'd still stone unruly children, still have slaves and not work on the sabbath.

I dont believe 102.7% of them

Then you don't believe knife crime has reduced either.

 

[clubchamp98]

That’s one how can you give 110%.

Not on your nelly

Not really .
I have come to the conclusion that statistics don’t show anything.
They can be manipulated to suit an agenda.

Example
No knife crime last week but one stabbing this week so 100% rise.
No stabbing next week is a 100% drop in knife crime.
Both are true and will be used depending on your viewpoint.
Is your glass half empty or half full when it’s got 50% in it?

OK, fair comment
