^I wouldn't go that far - Israel has some of the free-est presses in the Mid East (indeed, probably even Qatar has more restrictions than Israel does). But this particular organisation is pro-Relgious Zionism and hasn't been able to get a licence under the Israeli government. Oh, and let's face it -...

Jesus, you are like a bleedin stuck record. Holocaust deniers take many forms and you have got more faces than Big Ben. I agree Holocaust deniers take many forms - Nick Griffin being one of them. I happen to condemn all forms of Holocaust denial and certainly would not vote for a party headed by a ...

^My relatives fought in wars to defend people's freedoms and to defeat fascism. They'd be horrified if I was to display intolerance against 'thought crimes' or freedom of religion, or if I turned out to be a supporter (and voter) of Holocaust deniers and anti-semites (and Islamophobes). Cheers, Shaf...

^Perhaps Mr Kerr has a new meaning for 'Bob-a-Job' ?

It looked like an interesting subject - but turned out to be another cut and paste from an Islamophobic author on an extremist right wing on-line paper from the States. .. It also turned out to be a reply to British Baroness Warsi's speech - so it should really be merged with the thread already in e...

shafique

Bump so that people can compare the Baroness' views with that of a right wing blogger on the US 'right side news'.

Cheers,
Shafique

"It is ok to hate Muslims, because they are indeed hateful, violent and they hate white people"

Baroness Warsi didn't say in her article that hating any other group was justified. Therein lies the difference.

Agreed busa - but the OP is writing in a right-wing blog in the USA and trying desperately to spin a survey to justify the Islamophobic views he holds. Just looking at street protests over the past year, the most violent (and numerous) have actually been student protests. Anti-globalisation marches ...

shafique

Hmm, scraping the barrel I see.. I think I'll go back to not reading your posts - as funny as your desperate posts are, they are nothing if not predictable. But in passing, I'll see your 2006 snippet and raise it with this: JOINT STATEMENT BY FAIR AND JOSEPH INTERFAITH FOUNDATION -------------------...

shafique

Agreed Busa - there are Muslim troops fighting (and dying) in Afghanistan and the nutter was denounced by Muslim clerics as well! The EDL, National Front, Combat 18, Al Muhajiroun, BNP extremists nutters are all the same - spewing hatred of others - some are white Brits, some are asian Brits- all ar...

Interesting spin. It was indeed a demolition of Nick Griffin and his views - and the programme was indeed arranged by the BBC who invited him on. Griffin chose to appear and was demolished - finding excuses for his lack of answers is funny. As for pretending that 'Paki' is not a derogatory term akin...

"Power to the People"

And the problem in Dillon's latest attempt at a spin, is the fact that the word Paki was used in this thread by BM when describing a conversation that took place in a pub in ENGLAND.

LOL - when a spin fails so badly, I guess insults are the only way to go.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

LOL - perhaps I did dream the fact that BM used the word Paki in a conversation in an English Pub and you tried to spin it that Paki is not derogatory. Nope - the post is still there. Not quite an epic fail, but still - I can see why you're upset. (We're laughing at you, not with you. ;) ) Cheers, S...

Haaretz's Editorial today is entitled 'Israel still has a partner for peace'. It refers to the leaks, and makes a rather chilling final point: If Israel continues to prefer expanding the settlements to ensuring its status as a Jewish democratic state, we will lose the last Palestinian partner who co...

shafique

What is also interesting (on top of my prediction) is how this story has spawned a flurry of activity from the usual suspects - including starting threads based on 5 year old articles about 'Moooslims' hating Jews in Britain.

Hmm. Coincidence?.. I think not!

Mauritius is hot this time of year - but flights aren't that cheap. How about something off the beaten track.. such as Ethiopia - Emirates flies into Addis Ababa - provided you can get a visa on arrival (?) It's safe and there are cheapo hotels around and loads of culture (loads more if you travel a...

shafique

^MCL - I should have specified that I was referring to BM's comments in this thread only - not her general posts on life etc. Immigration and Israel bring out some strong views - and there's nothing wrong with that as long we stay civil. The double face palm was only about this thread. As for my non...

Shaf, what is it you want to accomplish on DF with all the time you spend on pro-Islam, anti-Islam issues? Whatever it is that you are promoting or whatever your cause is, get out there and go and do something that will have an impact on your "cause" rather than constantly posting stateme...

shafique

K - it also frustrates me, and I find myself kicking myself when I'm in the middle of a tit-for-tat exchange with say herve or BM (of late). Then the 'debating' side of me takes over - and its not a question of writing for enlightenment, but rather one of exposing the flaws in the other's arguments....

shafique

^Let me have a final say on this subject to point out some facts (I didn't think I needed to say anything further on the Paki issue - given Joe's excellent summary) My definition of Paki was to Bora Bora and was to explain BM's use of the term in a conversation she had with some white men in a pub i...

Cheers,

^It sounds very much like you're asking me to surrender N'est-ce pas? :) Sorry, the English part of me couldn't resist - just kidding. But you're right Islamophobic hype is increasing, but I'd say that whilst some do insist on believing the hype, the more people look into the substance behind the hy...

shafique

Thanks herve - interesting article.

It would be good to hear from any Shia muslims who would like to speak in favour of Mutah.

For me, I agree with the view that Mutah is unIslamic and is nothing more than prostitution.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Islamophobic hype is on the rise because the old arguments aren't working any more. More and more people are speaking out against people like Gaffney - just look at the first YouTube clip, he's being ridiculed by a presenter on Russian TV! More people are joining Islam. Since the fall of the Soviet ...

shafique

All I can say is that I'm not at all frustrated - the calm exposition of what Islam actually teaches, what the reality of statistical evidence is, and which side is being ridiculed because of wild accusations (although to be fair, we do have our Gaffney's too - Anjum Chowdhury etc) etc- are all sign...

shafique

People breaking rules is hardly a new revelation - there are many people who choose to break the law, whether it is the law of the land or the laws of their chosen religion. I would doubt whether any of the Emiratis viewed their transactions with the ladies of the nights as Mutah though - for a star...
