Unbelievable !
Before I begin, let me just point out that I doubt very much that any of you will read my posting fully, nor make an effort to understand how, and why I am so disgusted by what I see here.
I am aghast at the stupidity and uselessness of putting this video on this website. All it is doing is pandering to the both the persecution-complex and the self-pitying propaganda that Muslims currently seem to be revelling in World-wide.
Can somebody please explain what purpose it serves , other than to inflame muslims into believing that they are the recipients of unfair treatment from "Joe-British public" ? There was absolutely no point to the "experiment". In the banner above this clip it says:
"Islamophobia Video Examples of Islamophobia, Ignorance and Racism Shown against people because they are Muslim." This video is NOT an example of that at all ! It is an example of several ACTRESSES ACTING : already several posters on this forum seem to have been fooled into believing that it was real.. IT WAS NOT and the narrator makes quite clear that the people involved are ACTING ! Although I am very much aware that there are people in EVERY country who display racist traits and views, this video is NOT an example of that.
In fact, if you bother to watch it and listen to it properly, you will see that out of 3 instances of "abuse" people stepped in on 2 occasions. So far that is 66.6 % of occasions where the abuse is STOPPED by members of the public. The narrator then says " Further exercises also resulted in intervention" ( although he doesn't tell us how many). However, he certainly doesn't mention any further incidents where the " abuse " was left unchecked. One can only conclude then, that no other instances of abuse being ignored by passers-by was filmed, as the makers would most certainly have shown it, or mentioned it ,if it had occurred.
So what "scientific" conclusion can be drawn from this exercise ? : Well , obviously the originators of this website would like you to draw the conclusion that the video shows that degenerate Westerners who don't "understand" Islam are naturally abusive to muslims. What it actually shows is that,statistically, British people are more likely to intervene and stop racial or religious intolerance. Also,I would like to point out that in NO WAY, can the " abuse" in this video be termed as severe. There is no swearing and certainly no physical abuse whatsoever ! I am quite sure that if the actresses had used stronger language then more people would have intervened.
I contrast the behaviour shown in the video to the behaviour of muslims in Afghanistan when I was flying humanitarian aid into their country. While walking through Kabul with a female journalist friend of mine, I asked her what the guards outside several of the houses were saying and sniggering about as we passed. My friend told me that they were saying " whore !". When I asked why they should say this, she replied that it was because she was an obviously single woman wearing no wedding ring, in the company of a man who was not her family or husband. I was amazed ! She was a British girl who had learned to speak the local language,and who was showing full respect for local custom by wearing long clothing and a head-scarf. I was walking beside her showing no affection or untoward attention. Yet the muslims perceived her as a "whore". Islam certainly has a long way to go as far as tolerance is concerned !
To sum up : (1). This video DOES NOT show British people being abusive to a muslim. It does show British ACTRESSES PRETENDING to abuse another ACTRESS who is dressed as a muslim.
(2). It shows that in the majority of cases the British public INTERVENED to STOP the " abuse". ( I fully realise that abuse of muslims occurs, but so does muslim abuse of non-muslims )
I have no idea what the video is designed to do, as it seems to fail on all counts. I await your replies with baited breath !
for sharing the video with us.
