Quoting a Christian Archbishop is somehow seen as 'carrying water for terrorists' by our resident supporter of extremists. Interesting spin that. Let's see what was in the OP that can explain this strange perspective of our anti-Muslilm poster: the usual assortment of pseudo scholars, serial fabrica...
Rayznack/event horizon is still trying to convince me that he's right to believe that Talking Donkeys existed because the Bible says that a Donkey did talk. He also believes that the earth did stop rotating because that is what the Bible says. This leads to an interesting point about what Jesus says...
Neither the Archbishop nor I seem to be the ones confused here. Did you even read what the Archbishop wrote? Try reading what the NYT said in the article 'Boko Haram is not the problem': It was clear in 2009, as it is now, that the root cause of violence and anger in both the north and south of Nige...
I still haven't seen any of your anti-Muslim bloggers blame Christianity for the cannibalism and the Christian dressing up as a Muslim and trying to burn a Church. But is funny that you're still clinging to your beliefs in spite of what the Archbishop and NYT are telling you is the reality. Funny, b...
I thought I'd start a new thread to highlight this hilarious point of view our self-appointed judge of who is British, and one of whose aliases is 'European'. In the 'Racial Abuse' thread she explicitly stated that a child born in the UK to an English mother (which in her eyes means white mother) an...
Facts and reality about British Muslims, in this article in a British newspaper: There is, quite frankly, no major issue of Muslims not wanting to be a part of British society. But there is an issue with the common but unspoken xenophobia pervasive in British society that casts Muslims as outsiders....
^ray/eh is a Christian fundamentalist from America. Comparing the two quotes above (in first two posts) - mine is from a UK newspaper and shows the reality on the topic of integration, the second is from a self-proclaimed 'conservative student blogger' 'Danpycock' from 2010 - and follows the usual p...
What the OP is about is British Muslims integrating in society. Danypycock is an unashamed Islamophobe who has selectively quoted surveys and which you are trying to use as a strawman to counter the facts in the OP. A British Muslim or a British Jew or a British Christian can be both British and opp...
You could have said 'no, my anti-Muslim blogger friends do not hype the attacks by Christians on Churches (!) and the cannibalism by Christians against Muslims'. Now, your time should be more profitably spent actually reading and understanding what the Archbishop and NYT are saying about the attacks...
That myths that the survey results dispel are that British Muslims aren't integrated and don't feel part of British etc, are not proud to be British etc. British people have diverse views over how to treat criminals, what is a crime, which political parties to support etc. Your strawman arguments ha...
Your blogger friends over at religion of peace are calling the attacks as 'Islamic terror attacks against Christians' - I trust you'll tell them they are wrong now- and that they are actually tribal attacks and economically motivated primarily. The article does state that there is some religious ten...
Myanmar - what has that got to do with your bloggers deliberatly misrepresenting the Fulani attacks? You're not trying a whataboutery argument are you? Anyway, we've established that your blogger friends do fall into the category: the usual assortment of pseudo scholars, serial fabricators, and othe...
eh/ray has some strange beliefs - talking donkeys, Rapture, that the crusades weren't holy wars - but thinking that Prince Charles is Muslim is not one of them. You do him a disservice. It is your logic that a British born son of an immigrant isn't British - so Prince Charles can't be British in you...
Why do you think I'm trolling my subject which is about being British. Asking you to confront your belief that Prince Charles isn't British seems on topic to me. Thanks for quoting the stats - they were presented as evidence that what people believe about British Muslims does not reflect reality. Ju...
You're easily confused. I got that from your quoting the stats from the OP and confusing what people believed with the reality shown in the survey results. You'll have to look to your friends (real and imaginary) to help you with that though. ;) Us British don't agree with your screw-ball theory tha...
Thank you for your views. I refer you to my previous posts which explain why your belief is on-topic. I really can't help you further in clearing up your confusion.
I believe in miracles, absolutely. I do believe that miracles by Allah are done within the laws of nature He has created - we may not know how they are done yet (Science is, after all, just a discovery of God's laws) - but I see nothing in the Quran or Hadith that says Allah breaks the laws of natur...
There is a difference between believing that God is all powerful and could move a mountain at the command of a human who has faith, and believing that all who have faith can order a mountain into the sea. The verse in question says that if one has faith, then you can order a mountain to the sea. Hyp...
From today on BBC: Drinking alcohol, even in moderation, 'a dementia risk' By Michelle Roberts Health editor, BBC News online Drinking even "moderate" amounts of alcohol increases dementia risk, US research suggests. The findings, presented at an international conference, challenge the not...
I agree with all that you say Berrin - you just misunderstood what I meant about Allah's miracles not offending logic. A miracle is an event that is extra-ordinary - and exactly as you describe, at deaths bed etc. I actually believe that God's ways have not changed at all - whilst there will be no n...
Your anti-Muslim blogger friends have been caught out in their spin, and the best you can do is - ooh, I think LW is also guilty. What a sad and silly argument.
Thanks eh. For once, an interesting article indeed. The bits that you didn't quote were enlightening indeed. That a small fraction of the 1.7m Kosovans are reverting to the faith of their ancestors is not that surprising. The 50,000 Catholics out of 1.7million is for the whole Catholic population, (...
