Social media.
Am on twitter but don't post much, just really to keep in touch with things about Leeds and find it useful
But am not on Facebook, instagram or any of the balls.
I just think social media has spiralled out of control and people just abuse celebrities. Take David stockdale, puts a pic of kid in a Leeds shirt for his 5th birthday and he get dogs abuse, the abuse monk has got is ridicules, it's like if people can't get there on own way they abuse
And yes I can get abit close to the bone at times on here but see it has more of an extension of pub talk, where we disagree and give abit of stick and then friends again the next day.
Also they no doubt in my mind social media has fuelled terrorist and right wing views.
Does it need reigning in by governments or is free speech more important
Do you class this site as

I disagree. I think plenty know about these jihaadists within the community & mosques. Sorry but I really do.

That's what you've been led to believe by the media by the frenzy they create to make it seem bigger than it is.
I can tell you 99% of Muslims are normal people going to mosque to pray and living a normal lifestyle. They ain't got a clue on any jihadists praying with them
Your entitled to your opinion.

"My point is that some vague connection with a jihaadist is not strong enough a reason for people to report their loved ones to the police."
Sorry Abu, trying to understand your point but failing.
You talk of a vague connection with a jihadist and then go to describe them as loved ones.
If they are their loved ones then there is more than a vague connection.

Sorry radebe. Should have made it clearer. I meant a vague connection between your family member/friend one and the jihaddist himself. Not between you and the family member.

I'd like to believe that the vast majority are exactly as you say, I agree I think they are. But 99% is total wishful thinking 👍🏽

This latest guy of three who did the London Bridge attack was a member of that anjum chowdrays group. Muslims for years have been saying that him and his followers hold extreme views are are detestable to the muslim community.
The government did nothing with him. As a matter of fact the BBC and Fox News bought him into their programmes and raised his profile.
Muslims called him out years ago!

I actually had a few choice words with that anjum Chowdry and his followers upon a chance meeting when I was eating at subways at Edware Road. I was telling him what he stood for was wrong.
Looking back highly risky of me. Him and his followers just seemed to ignore me.

And also what he was doing was wrong.

Actually 99% worldwide is an accurate figure seeing that there are billions of Muslims worldwide.

99% is a dream figure & completely unquantifiable ....... who's gonna admit to being a jihadist or a sympathiser or even knowing of any?
Only the outspoken head cases wear it as a badge of honour. Recent events perpetrated by shcumm in hiding for the most part.
