Rain was falling in town today and many puddles formed.
Snow has started to make an appearance in a number of shop windows as the change of season takes hold.
Oxfam have even got a Snowing Christmas Tree that draws polystyrene beads from the base of the tree and cascades them down from the top.
In the Community Space (shop) the Studio Theatre group were publicising their seasonal show called Humbug – a musical version of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens which plays from 25 to 28 November at the Unicorn Theatre in Abingdon.
“VIVE – La -FRANCE”
Mais oui, absolument
D’accord!
Je Suis Francaise
‘In the UK, 760 people are assessed to have traveled out to Syria. Sixty people are assessed to have died fighting in Syria and half are back in the UK already.
‘There are 2,000 people of interest in the UK to MI5 and security service. ISIS fanatics are using a ‘cyber caliphate’ – protected by their own encryption software – where they plan their next attacks.
Messages between ISIS supporters following the French attacks urged them to ‘act when you’re ready’, ‘wait for the word’ and that the UK was ‘very hot’ with police action so said they should ‘bide your time and wait until your safe’.
About 15 years ago Gadaffi said he didn’t need to invade France because in 25 years time Islam will be the dominant religion there ? In Marsseill, the once catholic naval port of the South is now predominantly Muslim, each Friday the main streets are closed for prayer!
Meanwhile on holiday I can’t take a bible nor wear a crucifix in the Maldives? I travel to Birmingham and see more minarets than church spires? I’ve never heard of an Islamic Christmas carol? Last week my family remembered our glorious dead, I’m confused?
Terrible whats happened in France on Friday. There are some awful people around of all religions.
Most Muslims despise Dass – dont confuse Islam with terrorism – totally different things.
Wake up silly boy !
What has any of this to do with shop windows?
Speakers at the Quiz A Muslim event in Bedford included Taji Mustafah, of radical Islamic organisation Hizb-ut Tahrir, and Moazzem Begg, a former Guantanamo Bay inmate and founder of campaign group Cage, whose director called Jihadi John a ‘beautiful young man’.The panellists said that there is an ‘Islamic’ duty to ‘struggle’ for an ‘Islamic state’ in the UK
90% of the victims of ISIL/DASS are Muslims – don’t assume the apologists for that group are representative of wider Islam
Ordinary Muslims are as responsible for the acts of ISIS as ordinary Christians are repsonsible for the acts of the IRA.
As Iain says, most of the people ISIS have killed have been Muslims.
Janet – you do realise that Moazzem Begg was never charged with any offence and was later given compensation in an out of court settlement by the Government?
