I think we can include you in our little group. Its not so exvlusive. Thanks for the invite BM, but let me respectfully remain with the majority who are against extremism and hate. I guess it is time now for the customary outing of the BNP video, I'm sure some people haven't seen it yet and it is s...

shafique

Cheer up BM. Normal people laugh at comedy - and you did invite me into your 'group' after saying you're a BNP voter.

And what's with this new obsession over what others think (or what you imagine they think)? Don't you have the courage of your own convictions?

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

There you go again.

I simply asked why you've got this latest obsession?

Cheers,

Perhaps you believe 'Muslamic Rayguns' exist?

Here's someone else who gets frustrated over the issue:

And the video being referred to is this:

Still very funny.

Thanks for your opinion. I do think that the fact that the myth of Islamofascism is held by 'experts' with little real knowledge of Islam and a lot of anti-Muslim hate is indeed relevant. Even right-wing pro-imperialist historians such as Niall Fergusson dismiss the myth and call it inaccurate and s...

(Edit - it appears that the misinformation about this blogger's essay stems from this article on WND: http://www.wnd.com/2012/02/ayatollah-kill-all-jews-annihilate-israel/ by Reza Kahlili is a pseudonym for a former CIA operative in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and author of the award-winning book, “A...

What half of the story do the actual terror attack statistics tell then eh?

In the EU less than 1% of the actual terror attacks are by Muslims. If you want to double it - you still get to a low %.

Cheers,

Shafique

shafique

My point was that this myth is both simplistic and inaccurate, and that only people who share your hatred of Islam and Muslims want to believe it. When even Niall Fergusson is saying you are wrong, it should be a warning sign for you to pause and wonder whether cutting and pasting stuff from Islamop...

shafique

What acts of terrorism has he carried out (or ordered, or assisted) then? Have you told the British judicial authorities about this - they have just released him on bail after all. He does talk a lot, but to my recollection he denies any terrorist involvement at all. Aren't Muslim terror cell heads ...

shafique

I've found it helps to help others. Otherwise people complain when I repost the important bits.

What's your money on BM - the spin or the reality? It will be interesting to hear FD's views on which version he now believes in.

Cheers,

Shafique

shafique

Thanks for your opinion. However, I've found highlighting the bits that are very important works for me. I've read both versions, that's how I have come to the conclusion which is spin and which is reality. Ynet is more credible than a WND article by an ex-CIA operative. Ynet's story is specific and...

Whilst I'd have sent him to Jordan (or perhaps some other country - say Tunisia) - I'm generally against not applying the law and benefit systems to those who are entitled to it. Change the rules by all means, but if someone is receiving benefits they are entitled to, I don't begrudge them it. Legal...

shafique

:? What's got into you lately BM? Anyway, are you saying you believe FD's original story rather than Ynet's? Fair enough - each person should make up their own minds, but one of the stories is wrong. I'm sticking with my view that the spin piece by the ex-CIA guy is the one in error. Cheers, Shafique

shafique

So FD, is it really:

Flying Dutchman wrote:More madness from the mad mullahs.

Or more spin from ex-CIA bloggers bigging up a fellow blogger?

If you read the spin pieces carefully, there's little there to back up the claim that 'Mullahs' or Ayatollah's have endorsed this blogger's post.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Interesting rant, especially after I summarised why this is an Islamophobic myth - i.e. because it is: historically inaccurate and simplistic. and use of the term was intended to reduce the War on Terror to "a familiar juxtaposition that eliminates exotic complexity and confusion", critici...

shafique

No fabrication here, it comes from the Iranian government, through a website proxy. Written by a blogger who says it is his own opinion. The desire to believe the spin appears strong - but tell me that you have more evidence than the fact that the website the blogger used 'had links' to the governm...

event horizon wrote: And Qatada denies every word of it. He has denied ever having met bin Laden, despite intelligence reports stating the two held talks in Pakistan in 1989.

Thanks for confirming my recollection.

So how many people have been killed in the EU over the past decade by the 99%? Why don't you present the statistics broken down by each year, showing the number of attacks in the EU carried out by Muslims vs those by non-Muslims and the respective numbers killed under each. Go on, put your money wh...

shafique

Yes, of course I would denounce it. I denounce any and all acts of genocide, terrorism, war crimes or attacks on civilians etc. It is unIslamic (explicitly so) and indeed immoral to call for the killings of whole populations. Indeed Islam forbids the use of fire in warfare and explicitly does not al...

shafique

herve, you believe in a fantasy version of Islam. In your world, Islam is fascism.

You rely on bloggers who use

term Islamo-fascism and present themselves as experts despite not having previous expertise about Islam.

Cheers,

Shafique

shafique

I oppose any country having nuclear weapons, and yes I'd support Khamenei's fatwa that developing, stockpiling and using nuclear weapons is unIslamic. But please, let us not divert attention away from the fact that this story is false. A blogger's post about his own opinion has been spun into a stor...

shafique

The non-Muslim terrorists who carry out over 90% of the attacks in the USA are probably already under surveillance or are unknown to the authorities. For example: Hutaree Christian Militia - had more arms and ammo than ALL the 'jihadist' terrorists caught in the USA since 2011 - and they were plotti...

You really must learn to distinguish between your day job (writer of fiction) and reality.

shafique

herve - Read my explanation again.

Now, let's see if Eh is a man and can rise to the challenge of producing the stats of terror plots and deaths, year by year.

Cheers,

Shafique

FD has just posted the blog entry as his 'evidence' and has no other explanation. Why do you believe this blogger's post (which says it is his own opinion and not of the government) is in fact the government's policy? The ex-CIA only alleges it is because the web-site 'has links' to the government. ...

shafique

I did. I see no need to repeat myself when you can re-read. Now, care to explain to me why over 90% of the actual terror attacks in the USA are not carried out by Muslims? What's your explanation? And let me repeat: (Now, let's see if Eh is a man and can rise to the challenge of producing the stats ...

shafique

You're a fiction writer who believes in myths such as the internet hoax about Hamas 'paedophillia marriages'

You even invent myths and conspiracy theories - such as I am 'DearJohn'. Now you've come up with a conspiracy myth that I don't read the Quran!

Cheers,

Shafique

shafique

Now, care to explain to me why over 90% of the actual terror attacks in the USA are not carried out by Muslims? What's your explanation? Answer me my question before I answer your new question with a rephrased answer. Ok? (And yes, I DO have an answer for you - I've looked at the FBI website and th...

shafique

Really? The FBI statistics on terrorist acts in the USA aren't true? http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/terrorism-2002-2005 etc Seems pretty official to me. (BTW - you do realise that the over 90% of terrorist acts in the USA are 'domestic terrorists' according to FBI classification) Any...

shafique

So is Ynet's information wrong then - about him being a blogger and a computer programmer? What has his supposed knowledge of Hebrew got to do with his post? How is that relevant - I thought your point was that he was justifying genocide - is a knowledge of Hebrew important for this? Forghani, who d...
