@ NewModontheBlock (Whoever you are... I can't remember ): Only I can lock topics for no reason.
If pointless chatter is locked, we will not have many topics on here. Just make sure things are not over the top, meet the rules etc etc (which reminds me - I need to read them. Can't remember exactly what is banned!)

That's good to know. I created a poll the other day with some additional names on it - Angel, Bliss, Dave, Dawud, Imaani, iRazor, Joie de Vivre, Naz, Snoopz and Oldham_Lad25. The idea was to make it a comprehensive thing and then to have a run-off between a few from each poll, since Sirus' list isn't very official-looking. But New Mod deleted it immediately. With Funzo making a strong showing I feel pretty well validated. What do you reckon?
I think to call ti square, I should delete the other one we have now. I do not like all this back patting. (Can't believe I kept my peace for so long!)

You read my mind. Go for it Admin, that thread has been nothing but trouble.
Seriously guys, I've found myself skipping through most threads because they're full of rubbish. I know I'm usually the one to post irrelevant stuff, but this is [b]too[/b] much.
I preferred the forum when it was dead; at least what little stuff that [b]was[/b] posted was worth reading!
Don't just do something! Stand there.
has anybody here walked up every street in manchester?
how is that even possible?
Don't just do something! Stand there.
agree
i contributed a lil on tuesday nyt too that, but i werent alone....come on here last nyt and what the... :shock:
and yes, the revival is about debates and discussions, but in a chilled way...no heated up stuff.
and Naz, how can you wait so long knowing the episodes are all available? or cant u hack the suspense?
The Lover is ever drunk with love;
He is free, he is mad,
He dances with ecstasy and delight.
Caught by our own thoughts,
We worry about every little thing,
But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.

What do you guys think about gang violence?
i mean there is a lot going on especially with the muslim youth, how do we tackle this?
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...
We hire a bigger gang to beat them up.
They're called the Cops.
Back in BLACK
I only ever get far as the arndale centre lol
coz i have learned to live without it plus i dont get much time these days to watch the telly. Everytime i think im getting over the fact that prison break is on every monday and i cant watch it you come on this forum saying how brill it is and i feel that im losing the will to live lol. I remeber watching season 2 and having sleepless nights just thinking about what would happen in the nest episode (i know im weird). Is the new series just as good as the first and second or you just saying that to make me feel bad?
I dont really think thats a problemo amongst the Muslim youth.
No not the gum drop buttons! – Gingy
In my area it is especially between pakistanis and bangladeshis and also non-muslim vs muslim violence. Recently one of my friends was beaten up when walking to the park by non-muslims and now the people responsible have to have extra security e.g ducking when they drive past. Also they tried to disgrace the prophet pbuh name but they where fools because they can never do that and they never will.

well thats more to do with racism then gang violence.
No not the gum drop buttons! – Gingy
But it is a problem or do we brush it aside because it didnt involve religion, how the hell are the muslim youth ever going to better themselves when a) there's not a lot help b) everyone is brushing aside because we are young.
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...
'muslim' isn't a race.
Don't just do something! Stand there.
I didnt explain properly my friend was part of a gang who are muslims then he got beaten up by members of another gang who werent muslims.

well that would depend on the motive of the attacker. You dont just go around beating the crap out of someone for no reason.
Where a town consists of at least two different groups of ppl 9 tims out of 10 someones colour/race/religion etc will be the reason. Eg Oldham and Bradford riots.
Places like moss side where the community is made up of predominantly black ppl now thats where there is gang violence.
I think with the Muslim youth gang violence is not that much of a problem. The main problem is drugs (they should all pick up the phone and talk to Frank).
No not the gum drop buttons! – Gingy
TRUST ME it is an issue i should know, but no offence to you. Muslims these days want to copy older drug dealers and "gangsters" and by running in gangs they satisfy this need but then the need gets bigger into drugs etc. I cant stress this enough, it is a problem for where i live.

i agree with u... some of my classmates are all into the same stuff. the new sheesha rubbish thats been going round, the hanging about in big gangs and trying to look bad...

No offence taken. Your probs right i dont live in an asian, never have so im no expert.

I can second what Funzo is saying. I don't imagine gang issues are particularly worse in Muslim communities, but the social deprivation of many immigrant areas can certainly lead to pretty awful social values, same as in other "deprived" areas ( - I put deprived in inverted commas because it ought to be possible to exploit state education and have higher ambitions no matter where). In any event I have been familiar with Muslim gangs and the tensions in Bedford and Luton are well known. Like Funzo says, the problem there is one of BNP/White Pride vs young mostly Muslim gangstas. Drug dealing and other illegal activities are a big part of it.
The only solution is to raise your game and stay out of it, and let those who are causing problems either take heed or pay a price. A good friend ought to talk straight about it. Otherwise, in a best case scenario, that price comes at the hands of the law rather than any gang.
There are Muslim gangs in Manchester as well. And there are lots of gangs, not just Muslim.
If someone beat me up, chances are revenge would not cross my mind except at the hands of the police. But nobody's going to beat me up.
But what do i do when i see my friend being put in hospital or them trying to insult my religion in the worst way possible.
Your familliar with bedford luton?

Not up close, or at least not relating to any of this. I just know a little about it. But the answer remains the same. You can make things worse or you can make things better. Worse means much worse. Strictly if you or others aren't actively helping your friends to stay out of trouble - and if you can't do that, fair enough - things will continue to slide.
If BNP are doing anything especially awful, you can let the police know, but don't assume they can always crack down, and don't get into the nitty gritty.
Most people, if something awful has happened, would do best to get over it and avoid a repeat.
