The Israelis are breathing a sigh of relief that his father wasn't from Gaza!

But seriously, not many people believe this spin about Obama (or perhaps those that still think Obama isn't a true American etc are more numerous than I've been led to believe)

:) Excellent. I'm sure eh can use the above to justify the Biblical verses which explicitly allow rape (with a waiting period of one month) and the get-out-clause that you can discard them if they don't satisfy: http://www.dubaiforums.com/philosophy-dubai/rape-allowed-bible-t42303.html At least we s...

I haven't read the book, Infidel, yet, but have put it on my 'must download' list. In above to the reviews above mentioned by DD of infidel, there's this review of her latest book 'Nomad' which makes some interesting observations about the author's views: An Atheist’s Idealized Christianity The Dang...

Touchy.

When did quoting the Bible (against what the family did to the man) become an insult?

^This may be out of date, but her Wiki entry says she's back in the Netherlands, doing her work for the American institute from there: On September 25, 2007, she received her United States Permanent Resident Card (green card).[66] Since October 2007 she has continued her work for AEI from a secret a...

..and the Turkish government is talking tough about this: Turkey's PM Erdogan vows to 'annihilate' PKK rebels Turkey has vowed to fight Kurdish rebels until they are "annihilated", after attacks killed 11 soldiers. PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Saturday's "cowardly" assaults would...

Haaretz's editorial on the subject today: Israel or Immanuel? At the root of the struggle in Immanuel lies the issue that, on the face of it, has already been decided: Can a sector, community or group, in the name of its own private constitution, discriminate contrary to the laws of the state? Haare...

Did someone call Kanelli an Islamophobe or Loon??

Kanelli, you should feel honoured that eh has welcomed you to his club. It's full of very imaginative people with fanciful ideas!

(But it does appear they are desperate to get new members though)

What's that eh? The Bible says that rape is ok, but your loon answer is that the Quran is worse than the Bible? As we've already seen, the most extreme religious fanatic here is not a Muslim, but your good self - and why is that? Because you refuse to condemn the enslavement of 32,000 virgins and th...

Ali's critics say she has just jumped on an Islamophobic band wagon. She associated herself with Wilders in the Netherlands and is preaching to the converted with many of her views about Islam. kanelli, there is theory and there is also actual empirical evidence for your question about whether Ali i...

shafique

Nice back-peddle eh. Very smooth. (not) Anyway, thanks for sharing your loon versions of history. It's a shame that Islam does not allow s.ex outside of marriage, whilst the verse in the other thread from Deut says it is ok to ravage a captive and then discard her if she doesn't satisfy you. A bit h...

^I guess you'd also have an issue with the prayer religious Jewish males say each day - thanking God for not making them a slave, a gentile and a woman! :) But you are right, all three religions do have a division of labour between men and women. And indeed both Quran and Bible have verses which are...

At what point does it become too close for comfort?

Well, it used to be because people beleived the spoiled child when it said it was everybody elses fault, and were afraid that they'd be called anti-child (which carried a big stigma due to a long, long history of people's ancestors being really anti-child in the past). They over-played that card and...

Hey - don't get me wrong, I'm not a particular fan of the regime - I just hate white washing and propaganda. There are real things to criticise the Iranian government over without having to invent spin such as Iran wants to wipe Israel off the face of the map (or that the British are behind the revo...

Well, Muslims assimilating in non-Muslim societies in the West for example, would have to accept secular education systems and secular laws. Check. My daughter actually goes to a Catholic school - but that's because of the education, not the fact it is run by the Church. Women would be free to dres...

Kanelli - what is your opinion of what these women in Britain are saying:

In relation to the 'parent' - an interesting piece in Haaretz today about how the Othodox 'children' in the parent country have distanced themselves from the ... sheesh I can't keep this up :).. Israel's recent actions. ;) So, with the faithful in America starting to distance themselves from Israeli...

Well the volume isn't as significant as the severity of what is actually said. Both were a pretty depressing read! I agree. But if you look at the severity, the one with the most volume of quotes also has the more extreme pronouncements (eg selling daughter into slavery, women should learn from hus...

Talking of Sweden, there's also the infamous quote of the Shah:

In 1961 he defended his autocractic rule, saying `when Iranians learn to behave like Swedes, I will behave like the King of Sweden.

But doesn't the class system permeate all of Indian society, no matter what religion? No (Edit - let me say instead, not necessarily - it is a prominent feature in all of India yes.. but).. The caste system is a particular feature of Hinduism. In fact, many Dalits (untouchables) were attracted to C...

Ah, the young loon has taken to posting links to 2 year old 'news' stories now. The website is as convincing as the other Memri stories and the infamous FoxNews Islamic Scholar story which was completely made up. Loon fantasies. ...And the reason for this thread with a 2 year old non-story of loon f...

Well, for all our differences on religion and history, you also have my best wishes too Mel. I was on the side of the protestors this time last year - and still am abhorred at what is being reported.

^DD very interesting and enlightening interview (btw - it is the one on the 17 June - there's a more recent one on Gaza on the site).

kanelli - you're close to putting your finger on the core of the issue. Firstly, if you read what the Quran says about women vs men, you should be able to judge between the various presentations of Islam ('inspired by Muhammad' vs Ali's experiences as a child). Women do inherit half of a man's share...

I wonder if they have sing alongs by the camp fire.. eg #There were 10 green grenades hanging on the (apartheid) wall There were 10 green grenades hanging on the (zionist) wall ..and if one green grenade should accidentally fall, There'll be no more grenades and no bloody wall! # :) Cheers, Shafique

shafique

Did you check whether the loon website you linked to didn't make up this story? (You do realise that loon credibility is negative territory at the moment). What's your view eh on the death threats against Rabbis who state that apartheid policies/views of the white Askenazi are racist? Can't blame th...
