What is interesting is that Allen has now changed his views and 'respects Islam' - and he starts by saying that you must study what you are up against. I guess that he now realises that what Spencer et al peddle isn't actually true? Either that or he has a weird interpretation of 'respecting Islam' ...

Ms Michaeli says: The growing religious fundamentalism in Israel is actually Jewish, not Muslim. While the Arab population here becomes more secular, the religious Jewish public is getting stronger. Instead of fearing Muslims in power in Egypt and Israel, it is worth setting our sights on Jewish fun...

^So, that'll be a 'No, we have no evidence that the Israeli journalist is wrong when she says that it is Jewish religious fundamentalism that is on the rise in Israel. And we can't address her main points.' The smoke and mirrors was weak this time round guys - must try harder. ;) Just because you wa...

Does the Canadian branch of the JDL condemn the religiously motivated acts of terrorism carried out by American JDL members (such as Baruch Goldstein)? (Do they differ in ANY ideological way?) I didn't think so. I rest my case. It also appears that your argument is with the British Council of Jews ...

I salute your correction of my pronunciation of the vernacular of the shell-suit wearing classes. Let me try and emulate: 'Is one bovthered.. - you calling me a pikey? Are you saying my dad is a whino?' ;) LOL I love Tate's impersonation of the Queen in the royal variety sketches (also on Youtube). ...

It seems that Col West's change of tune on Islam was quite sudden. On the positive side, if it is genuine, it shows that there is still hope for others who believe the Islamophobic myths about Islam as fact, rather than what West now says above (that he opposes radical jihadist elements that have hi...

Sense of humour failure? innit?

Let me reel out my favourite creation theory that can't be disproved:

"We were all created 5 minutes ago with ready-made memories."

Sorted.

You'll hate this sketch too then BM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ1mU3nD79c Chin up, lass - don't let the non-white Englishmen scare you too much. Mr Djalili is pretty posh - having been born in Chelsea and gone to some good schools... and he's even studied English... but hey - if you really, re...

Phew. What a relief. A northern lass with her laser sight on me (not to mention booby trapped prayer mats) is the stuff of nightmares - so I'm glad it isn't so! ;) :D Interesting to note that Omid is more English than the late great Freddy Mercury (given that Freddy was not born in the UK). Cheers, ...

Et tu?

This is a funny thread. Lighten up.

BM - I like the 'prophets through the roof' quip - but you have to realise, silly quips don't really annoy me. I'm English after all. :) But why the animosity - is it because I pointed out that Freddy Mercury is less English than Omid?? :) As for your 'in your dreams, buddy' line... here's something...

Me being English really annoys you doesn't it?

You have a nice day too - and may I suggest you chill out and don't let my posts annoy you in future - especially the ones with English comedians in them.

LOL You've got problems lady. As for imagining I'm racist for defining the feral underclass (in a thread about immigration) - I suggest you exchange notes with benwj - he summed it up very well: If you are not feral underclass, stop using the term racist against people who state facts. http://www.du...

Inspiring stuff. This vlog was recorded on January 18th by Asmaa Mahfouz, the girl who helped start it all. She had shared it on her Facebook, and it had gone viral. It was so powerful and so popular, that it drove Egyptians by the thousands into Tahrir Square, and drove the Egyptian government to b...

ON topic - it's an interesting topic. Many expats end up with messed up accents and what we call 3rd generation children, parents from different palces and brought up in another, taught by different nationalities can totally lose their identity. But hey ho it happens. I can vouch for that! We have ...

Well, numerically the most common English accent is the Indian accent. (And we're not talking Peter Sellers 'goodness gracious me' accent here - but more Shilpa Shetty's accent or Amitabh Bachan).

I wouldn't mind sounding like Billy Connolly...as long as I didn't look like him! Och Aye!! ;) (But I have to point out, that even though I have a good ear for accents - I struggle to understand a thick Glaswegian accent!!) Chocs - as for sounding like Sean Connery - it's quite easy, just turn your...

^This is rich, coming from the man who is convinced the earth can stop rotating for a day because the Bible says so, and coyly refuses to answer whether he agrees with his fellow US Christians who believe in Rapture (when they will disappear in a puff of smoke)!! However, it is a strawman. God telli...

YOU MEAN YOU DON'T LIKE IT WHEN IAN PAISLEY IS SHOUTING AT YOU??? "NO NO NO"?? :) Our HR manager in South Africa is originally from Northern Ireland and now has a soft Irish accent - with a hint of South African now - quite a pleasant accent. But I agree that some NI accents can be grating...

Don't you think God created pain for a purpose? Would you continue to eat something that is poisonous and tastes bad whilst thinking to yourself - 'I must have positive thoughts and ignore the bitter taste? Wow, this tastes good?' Datta - I'm sorry but your inability to maintain a discussion about y...

I'm not surprised that you thought so. ;) But let's get back to the topic, the lady in the OP makes very good points on what Islam actually is for those who follow it. She knows what she is talking about, and it is interesting that over twenty years many of her initially sceptical family members als...
