Ah, but as you are a Muslim at the moment - I can ask you the question 'Are you Muslim first or Russian first'? And why?

(I agree the question is very cheap - I thought so the time you asked me a similar question in this thread! )

Cheers,

Shafique

I think the scientific approach is a very good starting point. I think Agnosticism is a very valid position to take. Indeed, I think that many people who pay lip-service to religion are actually agnostics in practice - they aren't that sure God exists, but say they believe in God, but act as if He ...

Hamas controlled Gaza, has a fuel shortage. Isn't Gaza also under a petulant blockade by Israel since the Gazans voted in Hamas in fair elections? The aim of the blockade (indistinguishable from a medieval siege, I'd argue) to cause collective punishment to the Gazans by causing economic hardships?...

Robert Spencer of the blog Jihadwatch, is a hero to some anti-Muslim posters here. Indeed, many of the anti-Muslim posts and threads on this forum are taken directly from Jihadwatch's blog pages. Spencer has a track record of extreme Islamophobia and his pseudo-scholarism has been exposed many times...

I missed this news the first time round it was reported. Geert Wilder's party PVV is bank-rolled by far right supporters in the US. One wonders why it would need far-right donations from the States - perhaps it is because the anti-Muslim, anti-Immigrant support in the Netherlands isn't as widespread...

In due course, the terror attack in Tolouse will undoubtedly be used by the far-right to try and cause division. Up to now the calls by them are going unheeded, and some restraint is being shown by most. A silent march is planned for Sunday in France - with Jews and Muslims marching together. French...

Well, the BBC reports he will be facing 17 counts of murder and may face the death penalty - but it may take years.

Thank you for your 'imagine' that the majority of English view them as English and not British. I can assure you from personal experience that most English people view themselves as both British and English. Indeed, most would wonder at the question - and would say it is obvious that every English p...

shafique

I respectfully beg to differ. In my experience the majority of Europeans share my dis.gust for the nazi-saluting right wing extremist thugs of the EDL who share your particularly vile strain of xenophobia and overt racism. There is indeed a wider concern about immigration - but actually the main con...

shafique

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and that you don't accept my view. Fair enough.

I also thank you for answering the question - you are Russian first and Muslim 10th. To me I am British, English, a Father and a Muslim to the same extent. Vive la Difference!

Cheers,

Shafique

I note with some amusement that you have yet again chosen to pen a post completely devoted to your views about me. You know that I don't agree with your assessments and it seems churlish to remind you again that my joke about herve was not a dig at your Muslim daughter - the posts are there for you ...

shafique

Muzlim Stat in action I'm impressed - I didn't know that mathematics/statistics could have a religion. I'd like to see what Buddhist calculus looks like! :D But hey, if you think one quote in a book about the Welsh can be extrapolated to mean that Englishpeople don't consider themselves British - g...

shafique

Please make an effort and post something on topic. I respectfully request you re-read the joke about herve and note that I was not making any aspersions on your family, I did not mention that your daughter and son-in-law are Muslim - just what herve may make of a photo posted by eh. Your name callin...

The Rafah crossing is not blocked by Israel. As are the Israeli border crossing with Gaza, they are also not blocked. With respect, this was not what I asked. The Blockade of Gaza by Israel was aided by Mubarak - who could have chosen to negate the siege by allowing free passage. He was put under p...

shafique

I do hope your next post is on topic FD.

I for one, do hope that the terrorist attack is not exploited by the far right in France. Slim chance of it not being so.. but we can hope.

Cheers,

Shafique

Completely off topic. And completely wrong too - if you had gone back and refreshed your memory, you'd have realised this. I politely ask you to post on the topic, and review what was actually written.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Still off topic.

Can we now speak about France?

Cheers,
Shafique

Let's leave who is at fault for the siege - it is not really relevant to the question I posed to you. I asked you what your solution or suggestion was? Should the military occupation or control of land captured in 1967 continue because the institutions under occupation have been damaged by the years...

shafique

BM - try and stay on topic. Review what was actually written and recall that I challenged you on many occasions to show that I repeatedly mentioned (let alone insulted) your family. This figment of your imagination remains only in your head. Again, try and keep on topic and check on what was actuall...

shafique

Sorry, I didn't see what your answer was. Your opinion on the institutions that are in the land captured in 1967 and since under military control and occupation is vaguely interesting, but doesn't answer the question. Are you arguing that the people living under Military Occupation are not ready for...

shafique

, I see the future of Europe bleak and devastating.. This is what a call a postponed divine justice.. you reap what you sow... Are you referring to the terrorist attack here? If you are, I think this is wrong. If it is just the presence of non-white Europeans in European countries - again, I'd disa...

shafique

The independent state of Palestine is indeed free to decide whether it wants to join with the separate state of Jordan. But that can only happen after Israel stops the Military Occupation of land it captured in 1967. However, it appears that you are saying that the people who are living under Milita...

shafique

Well, the relevant point is that his massacre of children was as horrific as the massacre in Tolouse. It certainly is not less horrific - he went from house to house, killed the women, children and men systematically and then burned the corpses. Therefore the moral outrage and treatment of the massa...

shafique

Can you just clarify - you are giving me an explanation why you wish the Military Occupation of land captured in 1967 to continue, or to change to complete annexation? Land captured in 1967 militarily is not considered as part of Israel under International Law - some in Israel see it otherwise and w...

shafique

I understand that there are a number of reasons why the French Terrorist will not see the same sympathy as Bales - being a soldier of the US army is certainly a main factor. In my opinion, though, he should get as much sympathy as others who massacre children in cold blood. At the very least, he sho...

shafique

Of course there is Jihadist Terrorism or Islamic Terrorism - where terrorists justify their terrorism using religion. I've posted on many occasions how this is a misuse of religion - and how this is exactly the same as Jewish Religious terrorism of Baruch Goldstein, the JDL et al and Christian Terro...

shafique

I'm not French and I never met him. Your question makes as much sense as me asking you 'Do you have any idea why Brievik killed the kids in Norway?'. The point is he killed Muslim soldiers - and to think that Muslims are condoning this and the killing of the children is just delusional. It is also q...

shafique

I do indeed read the Quran and your 'blogger only' version of Islam is consistently contradicted by what is actually in the Quran. All the Muslims condemning the terrorist attack as unIslamic also read the Quran, as do the French clerics and relgious leaders, and indeed the Muslim soldiers who were ...

shafique

Yes, I disagree with your Islamophobic, blogger-only, interpretations of Islam. I thought that would be crystal clear by now. There are Muslims fighting in the British army in Afghanistan, one has died there. You asked me about them as herve, you asked me about them as gertrude. I told you both time...

shafique

What I like about Dubai is that should you wish to follow Islamic culture - everything is made easy for you. Ditto with those with families - very family friendly I found. Those who wish to have a lifestyle that is a bit less restrictive and even those who want some hedonism can also find it in Duba...
