“You won't find a more easy going chap anywhere in the Potteries than me. If there's peace and love going 'round, great - sign me up. Just so as eveyone is clear though. I will fight to the death all three of the desert dogmas. If anyone tries to enact their stone-age beliefs just because of words written down over thirteen hundred years ago then they have got a fight on their hands. Who's the extremist now?”

“ahmed, Tunstall
When you said "Even in UK's so called glory days when it controlled half the World through colonisanation and had so much wealth,the majority of the population lived in poverty. While the elite lived it large, the only thing back then was that you didn't have the immigrants to blame! ", I couldn't agree more with you , what people forget is that the majority of people live day to day in this country with very little savings if any at all while the rich exploit us all black or white, just look how much the minimum wage is compare that lets say to a Company Director or a Bankers salary or even a Premier league footballer but no one seems to blame them because its easy to blame immigrants and before any one asks, I'm white and was born in Stoke its just that I can see beyond the smoke and mirrors put up by the hate campaigners.”

“To John

It was easy because just out lining your dream of a Britain...a white britain”

“To ahmed,see that was easy wasn't it!!!!! because if that was racist rant then i don,t know what is one,that aside not every one is happy see this country over run end of.”

“To John

Yes your right people like yourself dont care if they abuse and mistreat others just because of their skin colour or beliefs. You should become prime minsister and turn it into white only Britain. Once you achieved that then who are you going blame? Because deprived areas like blurton,chell heath and council esates all over UK will still have the same problems.

I dont know maybe you can then blame it on people who have got ginger hair or green eyes. The choices is endless.

Its always easy to blame the foreigners and create a smokescreen. The real problem is that UK is a capitalist nation which only looks after the intrests of the rich and not the common man.

Even in UK's so called glory days when it contolled half the World through colonisanation and had so much wealth,the majority of the population lived in poverty. While the elite lived it large, the only thing back then was that you didnt have the immigrants to blame!”

“Its just a mosque, why do people feel so threaten by a mosque?Why not kick up a fuss about the other 6+ mosques in S-O-T?

You got people here saying that "they" should accept our culture or go back home.A couple of points if you say that everyone should adopt the same culture, you may as be a BNP support and say this country is for whites only. Secondly the immigrants you are reffering to have been here long enough and majority born here. Or does the BNP philisophy apply here again?

No one is stopping the Christains from building church's build next to a mosque if it helps but it will still be empty becuase the people who moan that this is a Christain country dont actaul believe in Christianity!

As for people who say "Im not a racists i just dont like muslims" LoL says its all, Whether your racists or not you still hate people who have a different culture to yours.

"Curry in mosque on fridays"LoL just shows how much you know about mosques!!!



I hear Blurton is 98% white but they blame the non-whites for taking all the jobs.Wierd logic even more strange that one said he wont work for minimum wage yet blames the people who will work for minimum for taking his jobs!”

“Stokie girl you wave the word racist as if its some big sword!!alot of people don't give toss about being label racist as the uk become over run with mass immigration you can see the resentment all around the country and the goverment is scared to death of the troubles to come!! which have all ready been seen around the uk, and stokie girl is that ashamed to be white english!!!!!!!.”

“Stokie Girl, can you tell me exactly what race Islam is?”

“Why is it that everytime the sentinel prints a story on the new Mosque the old racial tensions start?

The Muslim community of Stoke on Trent paid for this mosque themselves, with money they had saved by doing good old-fashioned hard work...how many other areas of the community do that - not a lot because the majority of non-Muslims in this country are white and British & expect the Council and/or Government to pay for what they want (prime example = somewhere for the boy racers from Festival Park to meet).

I don¿t see why, as a large multicultural society we cant live and let live.

Stoke on Trent is a vast melting pot of people of all races and religions and I am disgusted that the people of Stoke are so ignorant about Islam, yet are happy to live and let live with members of the Sikh community.

I do accept that there are, unfortunately some members of the Muslim community who have been known to be violent, but you get that in all walks of life (just look at today¿s Sentinel front page - drunken thugs on the rampage in Hanley).

For religious people to show such complete disregard for another religion (any religion) is against their religious teachings (& this applies to ALL religions)

I have many friends of different religious backgrounds and I¿m pleased to say we all agree to disagree on the subject of religion and all respect each other¿s views.

This woman should be charged with inciting racial hatred, not only is she, a travelling protester from outside the area (so why what goes on in Stoke has to do with her I'll never know) but her actions are no better than the likes of the BNP who are about as welcome in civilised society as Bubonic Plague

I can honestly say, when I read stories like this and the ignorant, racist (albeit disguised racist) rantings of the ignorant, bigoted people in this country make me ashamed to be English.”

“Ian, note taken but I do honestly believe it is a true an honest observation.

Andrew, sorry I make your blood boil, I mean "how dare" I have an opinion that you don't like!

I don't see how I'm an"hypocrite". I'm not the one wanting to ban fellow British citizens from a place of worship- freedom of expression if you will.

For your information, I do live near a hospital...and my mother lives very near to the new Mosque.
Both me and my mother are perfectly fine with it but then we don't have an irrational phobia of Islam and different cultures having been raised in the Shelton area.

YOU are the one hoping that my opinion is banned. YOU are the one wanting to ban fellow British citizens the freedom of expression, not me. You are entitled to your opinion and I defend your right to express it.”
