Re: Circumcision In Judaism - Obligation Or Forgery?

I agree - there is wriggle room if one takes the view that the Bible isn't the word of God, but I would have argued that this is a given when discussing what Judaism teaches.. ;) (Indeed, it increasingly appears that the Muslim view that some parts of the Bible are indeed fabrications and should be ...

Re: Ann Coulter: Terrorists look foreign & Muslim

Well, the last US terrorist to use a plane as a weapon and fly it into a building (blowing it up in the process) was a white dude from Texas called Joe Stack - and he committed his terrorist act in February 2010. His gripe was about paying taxes (and he was brought up Catholic it appears). If we wil...

Re: White Brits, Before Long, A Minority In The UK!!!

Drat - our (non-white Brits) cunning plan has been exposed. :shock: We were lulling our white compatriots into a sense of complacency by getting you to eat curries and foods that actually have some taste (whilst all the while having pizzas, fish and chips etc ourselves) .. and we were hoping you wou...

Re: Circumcision In Judaism - Obligation Or Forgery?

No probs - I think the debate over benefits of circumcision is an interesting one, but is distinct from whether it is a religious obligation or not (in Judaism or Islam). There are parallels with the issue of pork - there are Muslims (and indeed some jews) who will eat pork and argue that whilst scr...

Re: White Brits, Before Long, A Minority In The UK!!!

MCL - I'm surprised you're surprised that I'd take an interest in this. I can think of a few reasons, off the top of my head: 1. I'm British 2. I'm non-white 3. I'm an actuary (I deal with demographics and stats) 4. I can read and interpret facts 5. I realise that 2066 less 2010 is 56 years 6. I rou...

Dillon - yes, the non-white immigrants have indeed exceeded the forecasts Powell cited. However his fears of the Blackman holding a whip etc (and at the time, there was fear of the West Indian immigration remember), and the rivers of blood etc haven't come true. No one was having an issue with Powel...

Racism under cover of the Torah: Haaretz Editorial

Today's Haaretz editorial. It is hard hitting, factual and quite un-spinnable. As a comment to the article states, the stories about racism in Israel are now making it even to the mainstream US media (I'll take the commentator's word on that). It does show the danger in letting a society (any societ...

Re: EU Economic Strife

Looks like you were right BM - Ireland's central bank is reporting that it will get a bail out - in the form of a loan. Ireland is borrowing money to help it pay its debts.... hmmm. Isn't there a flaw in this logic.. ;)

Re: Blasphemy Death Sentence In Pakistan

Sick. The problem is with some Mullahs who have distorted Islam for their own benefit. There is no punishment in the Quran, Sunnah or Hadith for those who commit blasphemy - God is pretty clear about that.

Re: White Brits, Before Long, A Minority In The UK!!!

Deja vu. Again. :) Still don't understand why defining the term 'feral underclass' is racist though. The erosion of British values has more to fear from the growing feral underclass (single parents, out of work, benefit-sponging whites who don't know anyone who have ever worked etc) - than they have...

Re: Blasphemy Death Sentence In Pakistan

It's actually a sign of a weak government - IMO. The politicians need the rabble-rousing mullahs on their side - that is why Bhutto etc did not revoke the laws imposed by Zia when they had a chance. I mean, you have people actually convinced that blowing up Shia or Ahmadi worshippers in mosques is s...

Re: Blasphemy Death Sentence In Pakistan

^kanelli - I totally agree. This is indeed the case in Pakistan - as dds describes. All religions have been corrupted.

I would just counter that religion is the worst way of choosing to live one's life - except for all the other ways. ;)
