Yes, I did fail to see any evidence for your loon theory. The evidence I have seen is that the Muslim community in Europe (and globally) is increasing and will continue to increase. All credible sources say this - even though the rate of increase is projected to reduce over time in Western Europe, b...

Your obsession to justify on every post and every thread that you are not dearjohn proves that you are indeed both, you use this other ID to vent your frustrations, throw insults here and there and pretend you have a positive audience. nobody else would care, but you i pull a string and you dance. ...

shafique

Yes herve, I do. Do you? As DDS states, there are indeed those who believe the earth is the centre of the universe, and that the earth is only 6000 years old - because that is what the Bible literally says according to them. (They also, like eh, believe in talking donkeys - and are serious about it ...

I know Bora - it is amusing that laughing at the conspiracy and waiting for herve's investigation is fuelling the conspiracy. Most amusing. :D I half wish I had the fore-thought to set up an account in May to do this... :D :D Perhaps herve will indeed show that I am DJ and I'll have to endure many y...

There is no honour amongst loons, it seems. I've noticed that FD has a simple formula: 1. I will quote you in full 2. I will usually reel off a single line in an attempt to pretend I am not bothered. 3. If I write a second sentence, I will diagnose a psychological problem. 4. If I write a third sent...

Her lies in the first link make her a liar. (Ironic, given your lie in this thread, don't you think?) Her Islamophobic/loon rants in the second link make her a loon. Really eh, it's like shooting fish in a barrel with loons these days. Next time click on the links. And if your desperate spin with th...

shafique

eh - another rogue quote from a loon blogger perhaps? Anyway, as I said to herve above - every credible source says that Islam is far from declining. herve's post is just wishful thinking. Then again, given you agree with Brievik's Islamophobia - if indeed Islam is on the wane, does that mean he's w...

shafique

So - eh, you're going to studiously ignore her lies and your lie. I fully understand why! But, next time you try quoting FD's snippet, give the link to where he quoted it and we can all see what I said and why FD posted it. So, you want to examine Nonie's loon beliefs (and assume she's not lying tha...

shafique

So eh, taking all your stats into consideration - isn't Islam still growing in the USA and France as the Pew figures show? (BTW - that quote about 15,000 in France doesn't seem to based on any study or evidence. Pew's figures are.) In the UK the 100,000 actual converts therefore implies that there w...

shafique

So, we seem to agree that Noni is a liar (or you just don't want to talk about the lies). But I'm curious - why are you insisting on quoting the quote FD posted and somehow linking it to the loon blogger's rant? At least link to where FD quoted it so we can see - you must have gone there to get the ...

shafique

eh, a long post that was short on stats. Pew's research is based on some evidence and clearly shows the numbers of Muslims increasing. I find that 56% of British converts being white to be a higher figure than most people would expect, I don't think this is under-representation at all, given that mo...

shafique

eh - if you give the link to where FD posted that quote, you'll see what I said about it. If you want to read what my views are about Jews etc, the link is here: http://www.dubaiforums.com/philosophy-dubai/questions-for-shaf-for-the-record-t46569.html As for Noni's lies - I've given the link, and yo...

shafique

eh, it must be soo frustrating that there aren't any 'young earther' Muslims who are adamant the earth is only a few thousand years old. But there are a number of your fellow Americans who do indeed believe this. Let's see what herve's references say Islam teaches about the age of the earth - let's ...

shafique

What's the matter eh? Caught with your pants down again? Let's review: 1. you lied in the title thread 2. you misread a loon blogger's post 3. the loon blogger is a proven liar (references given) 4. the loon blogger's rant is given as proof of her being a loon. Your response is to give a quote that ...

shafique

LOL RC - you really should get over yourself with the Greek words in English. It was a funny exchange with you when I used the English word 'politics' and you insisted it should mean something different based on the Greek word. :roll: English contains many words that came from Arabic too, you know. ...

I'm not too bad at arithmetic too.

I joined back in 2005, around Christmas time - when I was in preparation for my new job in Dubai in March 2006. I was working my 3 months notice with my previous company - a Berkshire Hathaway company, and was pleased to go to a similarly sized company - AIG. In 2008, that seemed like a bad joke, bu...

I feel perhaps we need a refresher on recognising and calling out troll behaviour on the forums. A few suggestions from me to try and bring back some discipline on topics where exchanges of views and opinions may be of interest to readers and posters alike. Let me start by saying that if I exhibit t...

shafique

:D Well, I do have a gun licence and know how to handle firearms... but still, I'm glad we can't duel over the interwebs! (But to be fair RC - the honour part was about FD leaving herve hanging in the wind with his misunderstanding of the stats. I just said you seem to be sharing the misconception -...

shafique

Ok, simple answer to your question - the Quran does not give an exact timescale for the age of the universe or age of the earth. Some Muslims interpret metaphorical verses where God talks about one of His days being 1000 years of man's time, and the time it takes a soul to reach heaven/God being a s...

shafique

Well, I'm prepared to accept criticism of my behaviour - BM in future I'll note that to even mention your daughter in the context of what herve would think in a joke, is out of bounds for you. Noted. As for who is and who isn't a troll - well, let's be grown up and judge future posts on their merits...

The Israeli intelligence service, Shin Bet, is reporting that the colonists in the Occupied West Bank are now posing a threat against Israeli civil servants. The extremist section of Israeli is a problem for the majority of Israelis who aren't extremists - as typified by the 'young, Jewish and proud...

shafique

The colonials in Palestine are stepping up the violence. The Israeli President and Prime Minister rightly call this shameful and against Jewish teachings - especially as it took place during a holy time for Jews. The mosque in the Bedouin village of Tuba-Zangariyee was set on fire in a suspected &qu...

shafique

I suggest you re-read the verse in question and then read the commentaries. Don't trust what anti-Islamic sites tell you the verse means, but compare what they tell you with what Muslim sites say. Then make up your mind whether or not it is actually illogical. I also suggest you give the Quranic ref...

shafique

^Bora, I suggest you look up Catherine Tate on youtube - then you'll understand DearJohn. ;) Anyway, now that hopefully the nastiness is out of the way and the 'one liners' are easily ignored, perhaps we can address the question posed by eh. Now, you asked a question in the OP - so let's deal with i...

shafique

Thanks for sharing your views caps. A bit disturbing to see a poster celebrating the killing of humans - but I'm sure most normal human beings don't share your glee.

What makes a person hate a religion so much they are glad when people are killed?

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

eh - your last post is an example of trolling.

It appears to have nothing to do with herve's theory that Islam is on the decline, nor your lack of statistics in your previous post.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

herve just repeating your interpretation (and yet again not giving the Quranic reference), doesn't help your case.

Read what God says closely. 'Completed and finished' does not mean 'started to create'.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

herve - read the verse carefully. What does God say he completed after he had created the earth? Does God say 'universe'? Your problem is clear. You are not actually reading the Quran for understanding - you're getting your information from anti-Islam websites. This is as logical as learning about J...
