cruasader - quoting information you got from nutjob bloggers will only make you less silly than posting your beliefs make you look. In your case that is quite an achievement. Bravo. Had you actually followed the link from Jihadwatch/Raymond (Islamphobia cash cow) Ibrahim where you got the story from...

Interesting survey - thanks for posting eh. I see that globalpost was quite selective with it's extracts (as you'd expect with a US based publication - pulling out the US aspects) and the CAFonline headline was about UK. It is also a survey of people, and does not measure the aid/charity given by co...

Funny, but also a serious message - on Islamophobia and bloggers in the USA following the Lowes pulling of their advert.

Cheers,

From what I can tell, the survey was asking people about charity they had personally done - so it was about helping people around them. As for US foreign aid - one thing I do agree with right wing Americans on is that it is historically very inefficient and indeed, I would say that tackling in iniqu...

shafique

Bora - as I said, I sympathise with your view about the US aid and this example. However, let's keep this in context - compared to bail outs of banks, money given to military contractors etc this is a miniscule drop in the ocean. That said, as a Brit tax payer, I also do agree with the aid that we g...

shafique

I find myself agreeing with eh on this one. First the Afghani's should be free to choose who they want to rule - if they want the Taliban, then they should have the Taliban. I may not agree with many of their actions and views, just like I don't agree with the actions and views of Saudi rulers, Kuwa...

shafique

eh - sarcasm aside, the facts are that the Taliban were the guests of the US government in March 2001 and had they agreed to the pipeline proposal that was being negotiated, they could have been 'our tough guys' in the region, like the Saudis, Hosni Mubarak and Saddam are/were. The US and UN reports...

shafique

As far as I know, the pipeline deal fell through as a result of OBL's presence in Afghanistan. Strange your theory about the Taliban's potential relationship with the US doesn't live up to the hype. Otherwise the US would have ignored the OBL residing in Afghanistan issue and pushed through with th...

BM try and keep up. As a tax payer, I do have a say in how my money is spent.

But nice of you to take an interest in my affairs, even if it is to try (and fail) to elicit a reaction. 3.5/10 for effort.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

eh, you missed the part in red I highlighted for you - that the US government were negotiating with the Taliban in 2001 - which even you can work out is after the bombings in 98. And indeed, if you had just carried on reading, the very next paragraph after the one you quoted above would have banishe...

shafique

I thought I was quite clear: The big thing point is that the US government, whether under Clinton or Bush, were negotiating with the Taliban and fundamentally agreeing with what Biden said - that they are not, per se, the enemy but a party to make deals with. Indeed the last meeting was August 2001....

We've had quite a number of quotes from Islamophobic websites about a 'fact' that all the rapes in Oslo were carried out by Muslims Eg this from a David Horowitz website (he's the one who funds Jihadwatch's Bob Spencer and other Islamophobes) Back in May it was reported that every rape assault in th...

shafique

:roll: Thanks for highlighting exactly the fiction that has been comprehensively debunked by the research linked to. (Did you click on the link? If so, what led you to believe that the fiction wasn't exposed?) Gil Ronen's claims were a fabrication: Ronen offered no evidence for his claims except to ...

Abdelrahman Al Ahmar is from Deheisheh refugee camp. Today he is the elected deputy mayor of the Doha municipality, near Bethlehem and Deheisheh. This article by him in Haaretz is an eye-opening, personal account of the realities of the Military Occupation and the illegal colonisation of the land. T...

Part 1 of a two part documentary.

Probably best to watch after Christmas.

I thought the UK worked on the same time frame as the rest of the world. 27 hours to the day??? Well, the guys at the RNLI are heroes to me.. but I think even they can't work 27 hours a day! :D And yes, I do agree with the current and former UK governments that the aid to India (and indeed elsewher...

shafique

The whole thing was fiction. He had no basis for his claims - pretty much par for the course for Islamphobic bloggers. Come to think of it - it is your tactic too, to claim things without any evidence and insist they are true. The reality is that the majority of rapists were Norwegian and not foreig...

shafique

Wow, in one minute he covered a lot - pretty much demolished all the Islamophobic myths of Muslim/Jewish history (ancient and modern). Respect to the Rabbi. I had to look him up - he's kosher: http://www.shmuley.com/site/about/ His upcoming book, 'Kosher Jesus' looks interesting: http://www.amazon.c...

shafique

Fact: Ronen offered no evidence for his claims except to cite an Israeli blogger who writes a Hebrew blog, one Yehuda Bello whom he claims understands Norwegian and has contacts in Norway. Fact: The report shows that for all types of rape, except assault rape, European perpetrators are in the majori...

shafique

^Sounds very much like the Quranic principle I outlined: The highest level is (Ita'i Dhil-Qurba) - 'Kindred' - to treat others as you would treat family, i.e. give them love etc without any regard for how they actually behave towards you/others - as you would treat your child/parents/siblings. I thi...

shafique

Repeating the fiction won't turn it into fact. Ronen made an accusation against Muslims and only quoted an Israeli blogger in evidence. Pure Fiction. It's funny that you put more credibility in a blogger who quotes another blogger rather than what the Norwegian authorities tell you. :roll: In his pi...

shafique

As the Norwegian authorities said (indeed highlighted): It is highlighted in the report that generalizations like "Oslo's rapists are foreigners", which have been seen in media , are wrong . Citing these wrong media accounts doesn't help your case eh. Ronen lied. Was caught in a lie. Now y...

shafique

I believe the report and not youtube clips translated by who-knows-who. C'mon, recycling the evidence your discredited blogger quoted isn't going to help you. Admit defeat. The majority of rapists in Norway are European and not 'foreign' and the report does not mention Muslims at all. Ronen made it ...

shafique

Just because you desperately wish to believe the fantasy Ronen spun, doesn't make it true. Imagining 'other sources' is quite funny too. If you really had any evidence that Ronen's lies were true - present the lie and the evidence. Quote the claim that has been exposed as false and show us it is tru...

Loonwatch has a link to a phenomenal three part film series on the history of Muslims in France over the past 100 years by filmmaker Karim Miské - very interesting documentary: http://www.loonwatch.com/2011/12/karim-miske-muslims-of-france/ Write up of part 1 from Al Jazeera: As issues of immigratio...

shafique

Not everything is about herve and his fantasies. But now you come to mention it - this will indeed expose his more bizare views as being nothing more than Islamophobic paranoia. I hope he's not too grumpy when he comes off the naughty step. What I liked about the first documentary was all the old fo...

shafique

LOL - imagining that I haven't addressed the Youtube video won't help you. Ronen's claims are a fabrication - total fabrication. As the Norwegian authorities said (indeed highlighted): It is highlighted in the report that generalizations like "Oslo's rapists are foreigners" , which have be...

shafique

Thousands of Israelis have protested against the exclusion of women by ultra-Orthodox Jews in the town of Beit Shemesh. The ultra-Orthodox Jews have clashed with police and called them Nazis - but other Israelis are marching against their exclusionary practices. Recently, one Haredim was arrested fo...

shafique

Wrong thread eh - you should have posted in any one of your numerous 'Muslims are bad' threads. ;) But let's not descend into whataboutery - this thread is about very real issues in Israel, and ones that don't need to be hyped or generalised (like you routinely do). This is the girl in question that...
