How does me condemning ALL terrorist attacks (and herve denying terrorist attacks) equate to me 'brushing off Muslim attacks' ?

Has someone been posting in my name?

Cheers,

I think we are just looking at the same evidence from just different viewpoints. I also believe that all religions have the same basic core values that are in total accordance with humanistic views - and are completely logical. I don't make the argument that you need religion to be moral or have vie...

As I said, I have just pointed out the facts about what the principles of Sharia are and not the 'Jihadwatch scary headline' version you think is reality.

Did you read the article?

^Agreed - you don't need to subscribe to a formal set of religious beliefs to be spiritual. But that is what a religion offers - a set of guidelines to live your life by and improve your spirituality, as well as your day to day moral life. If you want to be spiritual, you have a choice of what parti...

LOL - never mind the facts eh, herve.

You didn't read the article did you?

^I think it is a case of Mel editing your post when she thought she was quoting it (hitting the 'Edit' button instead of the 'Quote' button). It's a hazard Mods need to be aware of (I've fallen into this trap a few times).

The irony is that I believe the rise in misinformation about Islam is actually partly the cause of the increase in converts to Islam in the west - I mean I'd expect the majority of converts will have compared the reality of Islam with what bloggers have invented Islam teaches - and voted with their ...

^Hey, BM - you may have missed the main point of the articles - the Muslims converts are white. So '99% white and proud' does not exclude the Muslim converts. Given your views about Muslims - perhaps one or two of your white colleagues are Muslim and are just hiding it from you? :) I'm not sure how ...

shafique

^We've also got a thread about this in the religion forum. As I said there - the increase in converts in the UK (and in US, by all accounts) has perversely been aided by all the misinformation about Islam put out by bloggers etc. When compared with the actual teachings and practice of Islam, the gul...

A dicky bird told me that one of Guru Bob's disciples was stating that Muslims can only 'name-call' the pseudo-scholar Spencer (who hasn't actually read the Quran, or knows Arabic). (eh is on my foe list now) That was weird, I thought, given the fact that he's refusing to follow through on this chal...

It is spiralling out of control there. It is interesting to watch the news and note that the Pakistani officials (notably the US ambassador) refer to the blasphemy laws as 'man-made laws'. It goes to show that persecuting minorities is a thin edge of a wedge - the laws were initially targetted again...

shafique

Bora - I'm not advocating Sharia for the US or UK. I was asked a direct question by herve about whether I'd support such a move - and I just pointed out that there is no such thing as one sharia law, but six principles and linked to an article about them. If those principles are applied - then they ...

"Who knows what we call the rest of the world"..

I can imagine this being taught at certain summer camps .. (and where this would be presented as a documentary!)

I'd agree - the supporters include lawyers as you say, and indeed the assassin was the governer's bodyguard.

The Mullahs have stirred up a lot of hatred and the frankestein monster is growing out of control.

A long article detailing the characters and background to the Islamophobic activity that has stepped up a gear recently. All the usual suspects are covered - and, more interestingly, the motivations and background to the hate campaigns. Makes very interesting reading. The Great Islamophobic Crusade ...

Remember this?

Also from Australia - edited footage initially showed a normal guy as a terrorist.

LOL - ok, if you think/believe there is a verse in the Quran that says ALL non-Muslims should be killed, then you should have quoted it. So far, you've just quoted a verse about people who 'fight you'. As for history - the fact that the Christian Kingdom of Abyssinia was not attacked by the Prophet ...

Whilst the official Israeli government spin is that the Palestinians are holding up the peace process - and indeed the explicit line is now 'why don't you talk to us?': http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/israel-to-palestinians-how-can-we-make-peace-if-you-won-t-talk-to-us-1.335426 .. the ...

[Mod: Split from the 'Islamification of Britain' thread] Mel is just being obtuse. Iran is full of women who are working in all aspects of society and who don't have to ask their husbands (or fathers) for instructions on how to perform their tasks. And let's not forget the Iranian sportswomen either...

shafique

And still, so many women are choosing Islam after studying the pros and cons, and separating the myth from reality. The women working and pictured don't fit the picture painted by BM of someone who needs to ask for hubby's permission to sneeze. That was my point. If Iranian women have to fight to ge...

shafique

^I think this was the case for many years and this impression of Islam (justified in many cases) put off women and men from even thinking of choosing Islam as a way of life. What's remarkable is that there has recently been an increase in those who are indeed looking and asking the questions, and in...

shafique

It's not for instructors it is for professionals, and yes it needs a special suit which is not allowed in Islam. What is special about the suit - can you post a pic? What can't someone wearing what they wear for martial arts (and win gold medals) wear and do the same thing? (Just curious) Those who...

shafique

(BTW - I find nothing in Islam irrational. No equivalent of trinity or transubstantiation or even Rapture in the Quran)

shafique

^Live long and prosper.

And the 'proper' term is 'trecker'.

Cheers,

shafique

Why can't the competition be done in say a burkini? It is it just the rules that need changing or does the suit actually have a function?

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

^You didn't answer the question.

Is it the rules that need changing or is there something special about the costume? Why can't the competitors wear something like the burqini?

Cheers,

'Compelling evidence' and 'Fox news' in the same sentence. :D :D :D (And it will not escape anyone's attention that you're now trying to change the subject to the already proven un-Islamic practices of killing of women because the facts show that Islam does not condone s.ex outside marriage, forced ...

So you didn't fabricate evidence but you DID stage a 're-enactment' in a Chinese restaurant in America. :? Hmm... let's see the quote nucleus posted again: A US federal jury in Florida has rejected claims by a former French intelligence officer that Dubai World abused the UAE's judicial process to e...
