Justifying Terrorism - Hirsi Ali

Amazingly, Hirsi Ali has come out and expressed sympathy towards Brievik's terrorist act of massacring teenagers. It is her anti-Islamic views that led her to this jaw-dropping conclusion. She did so in a speech, and there was one listener at least that was aghast at her views: Am I dreaming, or did...

Re: Justifying Terrorism - Hirsi Ali

Nothing of this sort surprises me anymore after witnessing the pure hate first hand on this very forum itself. I have to say I was surprised. Even the most rabid anti-Muslim posters here agreed that Brievik's slaying of Norwegian kids was a terrorist act and they didn't try to sympathise with the t...

Re: Egyptian Elections - Nice Photo

Lets hope the " World " does not go apesh1t over who the Egyptian people choose as their next leader. Well, so far the signs are promising: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton congratulated Egypt on its "historic" election and said Washington looked "forward to working wi...

Re: Romney - What Do You Think?

As I said in the OP,I have some sympathy for the view that the Republicans really don't want to win the next election - they'd rather Obama face the crises ahead, and then aim to win the next election. But then again, perhaps the simplest explanation is the obvious one - a c0ck up and not a conspira...

Re: Religious Police 0, Saudi Woman 1

Bravo to that woman indeed. She stood up for her rights indeed - great stuff.

Kudos to Memri for translating this clip - and making it more widely available. A stopped clock is a great analogy! ;)

Re: Palestinian Airlines - Flying Again

I think it's a small milestone and largely symbolic. When the military occupation is over and the Palestinians have control over their fate (and the Gas deposits in the sea) then at least they can have the opportunity for a fully fledged airline etc. I wonder how many airmiles it would take to free ...

A slight improvement Drew.. but still more than a whiff of desperation and denial.

I could interprut that to meaning that anyone supporting the EDL on this forum would be banned. I guess you meant 'interpret'. As kanelli said, Andy is the one to ask about bans. However, you should not confuse correlation with causality. The EDL supporters have been banned indeed, but I didn't say...
