Glad to see that your point of view is objective and sensible. If only everyone was like that. The point I'm trying to make is that according to you stand,...

nanren4ever SG

And people of a certain race/religion still always accuse us of not understanding their race/religion? How to, when they do things like these?

AF2005 SG

the shop commit an illegal action under the race law. Could be quite serious, as its a racial act against the danish people.

dragg SG

we shouldnt get ourselves embroiled in such issues.

Salman SG

And you need to destroy the govt? What a joke!

I think we do need to get involve and stop all this bigotry. I will take note of this restaurant and have a chat with the owner on tolerance and racial harmony.

Quincey SG

And vice-versa my friend.

Salman SG

Yes, he will probabaly tell me how the Danes hurt their feelings, then I will tell him how Muslims have done worst things to hurt other people's feelings and ask him why he didn't care and see what he says about that.

If he's sincere, he will just keep quiet.
If he's a bigot, he'll throw a temper. That will be religious arrogance and we don't need to pity this guy or about his stupid feelings.

casefan SG

That shop must be taken to task by the law. The owner is a bigot and blindly follows the actions of his overseas muslim brethens. He has no regards for the fact that we are a multi-racial, multi-religious society and must be made aware of this. He must be made an example of...... otherwise others like him may follow suit. Mad

countdracula SG

it is sad that mainstream muslims don't do enough to curb extreme views. when the 9/11 event happened, the west were quick to point out christians have the kkk. however the difference is that mainstream christianity condemned them and even took action against them. someone mentioned jewish orthodox settlers are also extremists, but the isreali govt do act against them and forcibly remove them. but with the muslim terroists, muslim governments basically just roll over...shame on them...

it must be give and take, you want to be respected, then you must also respect others...

dragg SG

i mean we, singaporeans need not get ourselves embroiled in the danish issue.

Salman SG

Now your not anti Muslim are you Count?
How can you call Muslims terrorists? Now you even accuse these Muslim govts of condoning them. You have no right to criticise Muslims and hurt their feelings no matter what my friend. You are politically incorrect! You will provoke anger and attract bombs and when the bombs come, you will only have yourself to blame because you have insulted them.

Salman SG

We are global citizens my friend. We have a stake in this world and we need to care.

Thats why we always compare with other countries and we can migrate too if we don't like Singapore.

dragg SG

ya la ya la.

sbst275 SG

The thing here is we want peace with all countries worldwide

ShutterBug SG

It is good that public report such display of racism or descrimination regardless of reason and cause.

We are in Singapore, and we should all be "educated" enough, to make sound judgement on issues that can potentially monger hatred.

I believe that true religions, don't advocate war and hatred, unless it is politically tainted.

You must be very clever to direct attention at being "Global citizens" - when we cannot even have the political rights as Citizens of an Island Republic . Laughing

We have a stake in this world - but even a bigger stake in Singapore and the Politics of Singapore which we need to care even more . Cool

Why should we compare with other countries - and not emulate the Level of Social-Political Culture that they enjoy as Citizens of their Worlds ? . Cool

Why should we compare with other countries - and "we can migrate too if we don't like Singapore" ? . Cool

Is it not odd that while comparing with other countries, we do not make any attempt to bring Singapore completely into the reality of being truly a "FIRST WORLD" ?

Is your loyalty with Singaporeans and Singapore , or are you emptying Singapore of loyal Citizens and leaving the shell of a country to be freely abused by the arrogance of the POWER OF ONE ? . Mr. Green

We do have political rights. Thats why there is democratic elections, that is why PAP needs to woo our votes. They need to suck up to us for our votes.

Thats right brother, thats why we need to oppose this bigotry right here in our country.

Why not? We do compare and I think we are great. Thats hwy you and I are Singaporeans today. If you don't like it, you can go.

Singapore is first world, unlike Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan etc who are thrid foruth and fifth world.

sinicker SG

wow. i didnt expect Samar to do such a thing.

Salman SG

Expect the unexpected my friend.
I too was surprised when the friendly mamak down at my office celebrated 911.
I was stunned man!

A friend of mine too was stunned when a kid she taught support 911 attack and think its good. All the Chinese kids in class were stunned too.

Its sad isn't it? Imagine an innocent 10 year old being told that wrong is right and right is wrong by loving parents, relatives, religious teachers around them. As a ten year old, they are defenceless against such lies. When they grow up they have a wrong sense of morality and all of us ask why.

Libertarian SG

I think the owner of the shop had did nothing wrong. He did not initiate force against anybody. The shop is his property and he should be able to do anything with his shop. Since he don't welcome danish then he is just trying to kill his own business.

dragg SG

there is no way to tell how serious racism is in singapore because our govt does not tolerate it.

a small sign of trouble and they step in.
