"So, someone said to me that they work closely with the police, catching unlicensed and uninsured drivers. Good job too! What followed really alarmed me though. I was given the inside information that most of the offenders were Muslim. I asked how they know that the perpetrators are Muslim?! I was informed that they all had red spots (bindis) on their foreheads or wore turbans! I put them right, but it really shocked me that someone in this day and age was that ignorant. Have you been shocked by sheer ignorance of folk? " Frequently...by both ignorance and intolerance. | |||

Have you been shocked by sheer ignorance of folk? " What an idiot! It's funny he thinks that they're all Muslims when bindis are actually Hindu attire and turbans are traditionally Sikh attire! I had a conversation with a friend about something similar yesterday, all Asian or brown people being called p*kis...I got called it last week after being told I was fit by a fella and then I got closer and his mate saw my skin colour! Absolute ignorant, uneducated, uncultured fools! It's ridiculous that racism still exists but it's something that will never die out unfortunately...as with a lot of other isms! | |||
"One has to question the vetting criteria and procedures of said employers of such employees. " The employer is a sub-contractor. I'm just bemused to be honest that people in this country are that poorly educated. | |||

I explained that bindi are worn by Hindus and turbans are largely worn by Sikhs but also worn by some Muslims AND Christians around the world. I was met by a scoff and an 'I couldn't care less' attitude which just affirmed what I already knew about said person. | |||

"Sadly ignorance has already been displayed on this thread. The bindi is not restricted to any one religion or country." Nothing is restricted to any one religion or country BUT on the religion front, bindis are traditionally worn by Hindus. Am I right or wrong? I've worn a bindi with an Indian outfit but not for religious reasons, just cos it matched the look I was going for! | |||
"Quite offensive to the peaceful hindi that people mistake them for a Muslim "  | |||
"Sadly ignorance has already been displayed on this thread. The bindi is not restricted to any one religion or country." This is true, but it is certainly not indicative of a Muslim woman and is traditionally worn by Hindus. | |||
"Quite offensive to the peaceful hindi that people mistake them for a Muslim " It's actually Hindu, Hindi is a language...are you suggesting Hindus are peaceful and Muslims aren't? | |||
I work in mental health and the levels of ignorance amongst some fellow professionals is jaw dropping. | |||
"Quite offensive to the peaceful hindi that people mistake them for a Muslim " The majority of Muslims are peaceful and being mistaken for a Muslim is not a cause for offence. | |||
"Quite offensive to the peaceful hindi that people mistake them for a Muslim "And that comment (I know it wasn't you nicecouple) is offensive to Muslims, who are peaceful for the most part. You just can't judge a huge group of people on a small percentagemof their populations actions. If you were to do that then every religion, race and nationality would be judged the same because every religion, race and nationality has extremists within it. | |||

"Quite offensive to the peaceful hindi that people mistake them for a Muslim The majority of Muslims are peaceful and being mistaken for a Muslim is not a cause for offence."

We live in a deliberately dumbed-down tabloid driven world-where people don't know or care about the things that should matter, but can tell you what some Z-list nonentity off TOWIE had for breakfast. And you wonder how the politicians get away with it? Look at our media. | |||

Yes the soldier that laughs about that has lost some of his humanity which can Happen, if he was a captured japanese soldier when It happened he should have been held for A war crime they were (bloody times as any war is) and can have an (effect on the Human mind) but its the extremists and Radicals who like to start things going Here perhaps more so because we help The americans out too Its there way of Getting back at us quite sad really when you see the bigger picture. | |||

"Hadith of Mercy (Rahma) Salam… . “The merciful are shown mercy by the All-Merciful. Have mercy to those on earth, and the Lord of the Heavens will have mercy upon you.”. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, The above is the first thing every student of Islamic scared knowledge was thought and still do its a chain of transmission past down to generation to generation to pass on and be merciful with people.These so called Muslims who say killing is allowed,suicide attacks etc and say they how studyed Islam and say there the right and the rest are wrong you ask them what first thing you studyed or your teacher teached you won't be the above as they are brainwashed am on about people in the UK young lads its a shame like the guy who killed the soldier give the rest a bad name they are like poison in the community." And if I am NOT merciful to those on earth then the ALL MERCIFUL will NOT be merciful to me ? Then he's not all that merciful really. Bit of a vengeful git. Do people REALLY still fall for all this guff ! | |||
"Not surprised, unfortunately.
I work in mental health and the levels of ignorance amongst some fellow professionals is jaw dropping. "me too in the community - the service users are amazed at the difference in some carers - only takes the odd one to give us a bad name which we already have in the eyes of so many | |||
"Are we not mistaking ignorance for uneducated? " Yes! Ignorance ( as someone tried to explain above ) means not to know ...not aware of. People misuse 'ignorant' in many ways. They think it means bad manners or rude or uncaring. I am very ignorant of the local bus timetables because I don't use the buses. The trains on the other hand
If you say to someone who is ignorant of what ignorant means that they are ignorant of a fact they think you mean they are rude dullards..... I do like irony though .....tis funny at times. | |||
