:? This is a new trend FD - you've moved on from diagnoses of illnesses to now imagining a catalogue of insults from the one word 'Grandma'. Amazing. But please continue to read the Guardian and post the interesting articles you come across. You'll realise pretty soon that I tend to laugh at ad homi...

Invitation accepted - why don't we discuss your erudite point concerning goat-hair socks:

Thailand joins Brazil et al and recognises Palestinian statehood. They obviously haven't been listening to Newt! ;) Thailand officially recognizes Palestinian statehood BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand says it has recognized Palestine as an independent state. Foreign Ministry spokesman Thani Thongphakdi said...

First, let's knock on the head the bizare belief that I'm anti-semitic - my views are consistent and clear: http://www.dubaiforums.com/philosophy-dubai/questions-for-shaf-for-the-record-t46569.html Now back to this Memri clip and FD's extract of the extract: Memri entitles this special as : Egyptian...

BM - I haven't edited any post. You're getting your threads mixed up! :roll: Mel - interesting that you think the Iranian government is behind the assassination - that is indeed an interesting theory (and I don't have any proof either way). As I said, it does raise interesting points though - the Ir...

Are you admitting you are a grandma and aren't happy with it, or that you aren't a grandma?

I'd still like to see the full extract and confirmation of the Memri translations.

Who is this guy anyway?

Cheers,

Shafique

shafique

Fail. I stated that both the OP and my points still apply 'whoever did the attack'.

Try and read more carefully next time. Sheesh.

Cheers,

I'm not the one getting their knickers in a twist over the word 'grandma'! So, back to the topic at hand - where were we? Oh yes, FD was to explain his theory about the Guardian journalist: Invitation accepted - why don't we discuss your erudite point concerning goat-hair socks: Where's your proof t...

shafique

That's a brave move - calling me a liar on the specific point of Memri's mistranslations and misrepresentations. You do realise that people will look back and see that your sole defence of the deliberate mistranslations is a fantasy that other newspapers are just as bad as Memri. Very weak. Cheers, ...

shafique

Fail. The question posed in the Pew survey was not ONLY about suicide bombing, but about other deliberate attacks on civilians too. Those saying it was 'never justified' were specifically saying that violence against civilians 'for any reason' was not justified. Read the question again. You just don...

shafique

BM - you really must learn to read what is written and stop imagining things. The points made also apply if the Iranian regime was behind the assassination - indeed, it makes the revenge scenario more likely because it means the Iranians have the capability to carry out the attack, and perhaps they ...

shafique

It's pretty clear that anyone who believes a Memri special without checking isn't really interested in the underlying truth. Former head of the CIA's counterintelligence unit, Vincent Cannistraro, said that MEMRI "are selective and act as propagandists for their political point of view, which i...

shafique

Andy - in this case I referred to ProfessorGreen as 'grandma' on the basis that the poster is actually Bethsmum, who has publically posted on this forum that she is a grandmother. In many cultures around the world, 'grandma' is not an insulting term. But ProfessorGreen may not be a lady. ;) BM - no,...

The guy proposing the assassination of Obama is also the publisher of the newspaper. He denies saying he advocated the assassination of Obama(but see highlighted quotes from the article), and has now apologised for advocating the assassination as an option to help Israel. The bit I've highlighted in...

Thank you very much for this Nucleus. I enjoyed that very much and it was beautifully explained. A few lessons for me to take on board, and a great reminder - I learnt a few things from the talk. The end part where he talks of stand up comedy was an eye-opener and not a point I had considered before...

shafique

Nope - it is Mel and BM who think the Iranians are behind the bombing. If their theory is correct, then it puts the scenario in OP in a slightly different light. I'm with Cohen - asking the question about what if the Iranians make good on their threatened revenge for the assassination of the Iranian...

Fail. 58% of American Christians justified killing civilians for some reason, same question was asked to American Muslims and only 21% justified killing of civilians. The Pew survey measured how many Muslims said killing of civilians was NEVER justified, for whatever reason. Note the 'for whatever r...

shafique

You are trolling this thread now eh - everyone can see in the other thread what the first paragraph of my post states, so you've failed there too. Now, what's the matter - I'd expect an American like you to be up in arms about someone advocating the assassination of the President by a foreign power ...

shafique

BM - calm down. Go back and re-read the post in question (here's an extract): For my part, I thanked him for posting two interesting articles from this quality paper and applaud him for doing so. It would indeed be a bonus if the articles are read and understood - but let's be grateful for small mer...

shafique

Your imagination is running wild these days BM. Mel and I agree totally that the killing of the Iranian scientist is an act of terror - and she doesn't write that she supports it at all. The question still remains - what if the Israeli scientists start being assassinated - will those who don't share...

As I said it is incredible that a Jewish paper in the US published his view that they HAD thought about it!

Any references to check on this guy's credentials and how popular he (and the satellite channel) are. You seem to know more about him than I could find by Googling.

Perhaps you can also track down the full transcript.

I understand cutting down space - but strangely in the OP you didn't save any space, you left the half sentence you cut out just blank space: Some 55% of Syrians want Assad to stay What is less good news for the Assad regime is that the poll also found that half the Syrians who accept him.. vs the u...

shafique

You misunderstood, when I wrote (goat) woolen socks brigade, it was a matter of speech. What I thought you were doing was trying to give a smoke and mirrors attack against the journalist and accuse him of being a left-wing 'freak' - the sort who would be caricatured as sandal-wearing, or socks and ...

shafique

Your personal attacks can't disguise your failure.

Just read the question again - the majority of Muslims said that killing civilians was never justified FOR WHATEVER REASON.

Your denials won't change the question.

Cheers,

Shafique

shafique

Please stop trolling - this thread is not about your Islamophobia, but rather about a Jewish newspaper publishing a radical view that Israel should consider assassinating Obama.

Cheers,

Shafique

shafique

Just because you don't like the (obvious) answers to your questions - there isn't really a need to resort to name-calling (again).

I just asked a simple question and I guess the non-answer shows that the key ideologies of the Nazis are right wing. QED.

Cheers,

Shafique

shafique

Try and keep up eh. Your blogger version of Islam has the misconception that Muslims hate Jews - as cited in the article. Did you not read that bit and note who was saying it?

That's how you distinguish truth from blogger spin.

Cheers,

Shafique
