For a musician who claims to be not political - he does speak sense.

Interesting interview - thanks for linking.

Cheers,

Hey folks - I'm baaack! :mrgreen: I've been travelling and taking time off from the forum to do quite a bit of reading and concentrate on work and other things. I've been dropping in to see the posts and have had many laughs along the way. My foe list is now back in action, so I'll now not be tempte...

Nony - excellent question. The occupation of Jerusalem and the illegal annexation of East Jerusalem by Israel is a matter of law and UN resolutions. The international community is quite clear on this point. Israel cynically re-named parts of the Occupied West Bank as 'Jerusalem' before annexing it -...

:) Well, let me state the obvious - I'm glad that Bin Laden was caught, and shed no tears that he was killed. I denounce the minority of Muslims who revere him - they are as distasteful as the minority of Jews who revere Baruch Goldstein (both being religously motivated terrorists) - both doing a di...

Let me repeat the point that Israel's renaming of bits of the West Bank as Jerusalem and then illegally annexing it (and the rest of East Jerusalem) is a secular crime - an act that the US, UK, UN etc all agree is a crime. So, we must make a distinction between the historic boundaries of Jerusalem w...

Good to be back.

Will be posting less regularly - work is very hectic at the moment.

Hi Dear John and welcome. I don't know where the stereotype of a stingy Jewish person comes from.. I suspect it is from the times when anti-semitism was rife in Europe and they were the equivalent of brown people or immigrants today. Just guessing though. As an Englishman, it is interesting to note ...

I actually have some sympathy for zionist policies - and I do admire their organisation and lobbying abilities. I do denounce criminal zionists and criminal Muslims too. I've applauded the recent diplomatic moves by Palestinians (Christians and Muslims and a few Jews) to move the narrative away from...

I agree - the digs at Fox news were also priceless..

^K - my view is that had he been arrested then there would be fewer conspiracies floating around today. I don't think there would be a spate of hostage taking etc... the nutters hardly need another excuse for their terrorism. Conspiracy nuts in Europe and the US are bandying around notions that OBL ...

Here's a link to a series of articles by Danios on Religious wars - addressing the Islamophobic myth about Islam's stance on Jihad.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said 99 viable bombs either exploded or were defused by army experts in the year to the end of March, compared with 50 a year ago. .. The security threat level stands at severe and police officers -- especially Catholics who have been encouraged to join...

shafique

I'll patiently wait for herve to tell us that 99 viable bombs in the United Kingdom (geography lesson: Northern Ireland is part of the UK) - is actually not that important, the fewer actual attacks by other groups (such as Muslims) are the bigger threat. :roll: eh will probably dig out a few Elder o...

shafique

^LOL So, when faced with stats about terrorism in the UK - we don't see anyone disputing the numbers, just the usual 'oh, oh, - but look what's happening in another part of the world' :) We have a case here of Catholics in the UK targetting other Catholics. With real bombs. Killing real people. Yes,...

99 real bombs in NI by Catholics vs the number of bombs by Muslim terrorists in NI over the same period (were you trying to portray the latter number for the less numerate amongst us?)

shafique

LOL @ herve.

Nice one - so the police in Belfast are part of a Mooslim conspiracy.

Once again, facts beats hype.

A poll by Rasmussen Reports found that a majority of all Americans (63%) believe the Bible is literally true and the Word of God, with less than a quarter (24%) disagreeing with this belief. This is quite amazing when one considers that about 20% of Americans are neither Jewish or Christian! The pe...

It is not a military occupation Hmm. The United Nations Security Council,[65] the United Nations General Assembly,[66] the United States,[67] the EU,[68] the International Court of Justice,[69] and the International Committee of the Red Cross[70] refer to it as Palestinian territory occupied by Isr...

shafique

I resisted the temptation of 'un-hiding' the posts by those on my foe list.. so apologies if they've brought up a valid point regarding the numbers of actual terrorist plots in the UK that are carried out by Muslims, vs these 99 carried out by Christians (and targeting other Christians) - last year!...

Given that the Prophet Muhammad, pbuh, was illiterate (could not read) and that the Quran was an aural (spoken) revelation (and indeed, Quran, literally means 'recitation' or 'that which is recited widely') - the question should be whether the Prophet Muhammad, pbuh, could remember exactly the revel...

shafique

My primary point was the surprising fact (to me) that the MAJORITY of Americans appear to believe that the Bible is literally true. This is surprising, not least because most Europeans would laugh at the notion that the more fantastical Biblical verses were literally true - but also because some Isl...

shafique

herve - you do realise that Florida is not in the UK, don't you? Moving the argument to hype that is related to the USA really doesn't help your argument much - as the FBI compile the stats for real terrorist attempts and those also show that only a small minority of real terrorist attacks are carri...

shafique

It's worth repeating for those who sat in the cheap seats at the Bible camp 'let's learn some misinformation about Islam' course: The fact that children and hundreds of millions of people around the world remember the Quran from start to finish without error, shows that it is not a super-human feat ...

Worth a read in full - this short article published in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz is by the Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat. With diplomatic pressure building on Israel in respect of the continuing military occupation of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem (and not forgetting the Golan Heig...

Good advice though - I am indeed heading for the beach.

(Thanks for sharing your beliefs too, but I'll stick with what the UK police are reporting as fact.)

absolutely, and many of them aren't especially gifted either...Just pure clean will and intention to memorize it do the trick for everyone and most of them memorize it spotless within 5 years at most, compare that with 23 years of deliverance to the prophet... Good points Berrin. The interesting th...
