You wanted all 100,000 women converts in the UK in the interview room of the BBC?

But 3 is 2 more than the usual threshold for eh's wild generalisations about Muslims.

Cheers,

Shafique

herve - just because you read things on websites does not make them true. As a fiction writer yourself, you should be aware of this. Do you have any view on the actual incident in the OP or are you just going to tell us your beliefs? (BTW, God tells us in the Quran that Abraham was the first Muslim)...

I am INTP - I think I first took the test about 15 years ago.. and taken it a few times since. Consistent results on preferences. I use NLP concepts and personality types etc quite a bit in my work - I like the way it balances out the 'hard' aspects of my work - statistics/facts. I enjoy marrying th...

Everyone is free to read the explanations for the violence in Ethiopia and make up their minds. I note that you are the one bringing in unrelated stories about Egypt and Nigeria and Islamophobic theories to bolster your claim. I just quoted an expert that disagreed with your chosen spin. Cheers, Sha...

Would you like to take your personal relationships to a more appropriate private forum Dillon, this is a public forum and the thread topic is Who is a Muslim.

Cheers,
Shafique

^Yes it does amount to a whataboutery response to a silly question from someone who hasn't quite got a grasp of the facts. I'd have chosen to challenge eh's misguided argument head on. Shia generally have A LOT of hatred for Aisha, Abu Bakr, Umar and Omar - there's nothing new there. That's been goi...

shafique

I wasnt meaning you, its just that the pics reminded me of other forums where i have seen such discussions of how Pakistanis are 99% genetically different from Indians along with the full load of pics comparing the 2 Thanks for clarifying. You'll note that I posted pics to show the similarity betwe...

I was being polite and asking you stop trolling, in a diplomatic way. I thought you'd recognise your own words to Yousef.

You're not a happy chappy today are you Dillon? What's the matter? I was indeed trying to tell you using your own words to stop trolling. But if you thought it was a joke - even an unfunny one - then let me remove this confusion. Dillon - stop trolling, this thread is about which poster is a Muslim....

shafique

You do realise that the explanation from the Ethiopian expert was referring to exactly the same video you posted? Indeed, the write up he gives mentions what was being heard etc. And yet, strangely, he doesn't agree with how you and the Islamophobic blogosphere are spinning this story as. Can you no...

shafique

Well, I learnt something early on in the programme - the Arabian horse typically have one less vertebrae than a traditional horse. Interesting tit bit of info - just an aside of course. But interesting discussion between two Americans - and good explanations of what it means to be a Muslim. The Chri...

As it says on the Royal Coat of Arms of my country : Honi soit qui mal y pense.

You can look up the meaning.

Fascinating stuff FD.

(The 'aspies' may not recognise the sarcasm

Can you tell us what Psychological projection or projection bias is?

Let's see if I can dig out the last few times I answered Cap's question. First time here: ..But to answer your question directly, no my religion is NOT ahead of my choice of religion - just like my being an actuary, a man or a father/husband/brother isn't 'ahead' of my choice of religion. Nothing in...

shafique

In your dreams perhaps.

At least you are consistent caps - it is always 'all mouth, no trousers' with you. Can you remember a post you made that actually contained any facts or evidence?

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Perhaps you will be proved right caps. There's a first time for everything. But I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

Cheers,

Shafique

Ironically, the shocking attack is actually a sign of what the protestors are protesting against. Whilst some Islamophobes are taking the opportunity to Muslim bash - most commentators are focusing on the fact that most Egyptians are shocked and revulsed by this (regardless of what religion the secu...

This thread about Israel's 1967 borders is relevant to the recent discussions over the historical fact that Palestine was a well defined country before 1948, a country under British rule, but a country with defined borders, immigration controls, a government - and indeed a population of Palestinians...

shafique

As the Haaretz article points out, the arguments in favour of Israel's continuing occupation are tired and worn out.

Newt and those who share his discredited beliefs should perhaps have consulted the Israelis who know the facts laid out in the OP.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Why are you having a go at BM and caps? I know you can't be having a go at me - for I didn't deny any aspect of the heinous attack by the security forces (who may or may not be Muslim, Christian or atheist). But I note that once again, you are choosing to not address the topic but rather go off on a...

shafique

Delusional now by simple delusion. Please try and stop your trolling behaviour - and stay on topic. It is not clever, it is not funny. But then again, I note you don't criticise Islamophobic exaggerations but do criticise the BBC's choice of women to interview as being unrepresentative. Hmm. What is...

shafique

Interesting you should think that. FD may have a pill for you.

Now, back to the topic - by what means did caps and BM determine the religion of the security forces?

Cheers,

Shafique

This one is for Chocs. This Reuters piece is about the UK and how some religious leaders of other faiths are wishing a Happy Christmas to all and working against the 'pc brigade' that says Christmas is offensive to non-Christians. (I think the pc brigade issue is overblown, but where it does happen ...

shafique

Beer/pill - whatever gets the job done.

BTW - what do you call a collection of Trolls? A riot?

(Now can you either stick to the topic or just not post any more trolling posts? I'm sure if you concentrate you'll be able to do so.)

Cheers,

Shafique

That's an interesting question eh - after all, Egypt occupied Gaza, Jordan occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem and Israel had captured land that wasn't in the UN partition plan as being part of Israel (55% of Palestine was allocated in 1947, at the end of hostilities in 1948 Israel had control...

shafique

eh - so you think that Muslim is a nation? Well, I am with the 12% of the population that don't think so. I happen to also agree with your fellow Americans who say that there is no conflict between religion and nationality: http://www.dubaiforums.com/philosophy-dubai/jerald-dirks-very-informative-in...

shafique

I don't know how many of my fellow Britons share the same view as me and the 12% of Americans who don't agree with you that there is a conflict, or that one has to put faith before nationality or vice versa. Can I ask you again - are you in the 42% of Americans who say they are Christian first, or o...

shafique

^Why do we attract nut jobs? :roll: On a more serious note, I see that the Egyptians have come out to protest in great numbers over this attack - with what is being billed as the biggest protest by women in Egypt's history: http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2011/12/21/world/EGYPT/EGYPT-articleLarg...

We've had threads in the past dealing with Hitler's church - the so-called 'German Christians' or Lutheran Nazism: This movement represented Hitler's "Positive Christianity" views and lawfully encoded into the Nazi "constitution." Hitler tried to force regional Protestant churche...

Bloggers spinning this slaughter of baby Omar isn't just my opinion or version of events. Having to blame the victims, to me, shows that the spin (justifying the continuing military occupation and siege) isn't working. The pro Israeli side don't seem to be able to make a good argument without resort...
