Ok, you just had to say you aren't going to answer. We'll let it drop.

^I find the speed at which some knickers get twisted most amazing and fascinating.

I agree with you k. eh's cartoon does make a good point when talking about Muslim criticisms of cartoons of the Prophet. But that wasn't the point of this thread. In this context, it appears to be another whataboutery argument.. but that's how it appears to me. Indeed, the artist of the cartoons in ...

shafique

Well, you do call people anti-semitic on this forum - what are your criteria? Can someone whose words and actions are: 1. I do not wish all Jews to be wiped out. 2. I do not hate Judaism or Jews (or any particular religion). 3. I give credit to Israel for its achievements, but criticise it for its c...

shafique

Nice to see your criteria FD - and it is amusing that you think I fit those criteria. Facts vs fiction seems to be your downfall. But at least I'm glad that you don't dispute that I don't fit the dictionary description of an anti-semite, and that you've had to invent a new one (and then imagine that...

Interestingly, there are some old threads which look at the Palestinian diplomatic moves to gaining formal recognition of statehood. There's this long thread from Nov 2009: http://www.dubaiforums.com/dubai-politics-talk/palestine-push-for-independence-t39413.html .. Monday, 16 November 2009 Palestin...

shafique

I am amused that you continue to state beliefs and present them as fact. I also fully understand why you can't quite bring yourself to be critical of Kaufman for comparing Israeli crimes with Nazi crimes, or to label him as an anti-semite for this. Your inconsistencies are out there for all to judge...

shafique

Bora - that was almost FDesque in crypticness, but you've lost me.

Who's mantra? and what is it?

shafique

Ahh, it becomes clear... totally agree. On board now.

What is interesting is that you're trying to spin an article which stated they'd take two years to get to where they are.

They are on target. Remarkable really.

In a way, I'm glad eh brought up your snippet from a Karmi article. Interesting too that linking Jews to Nazism is a new criterion for you - especially as you tried to equate Islam to Nazism. I see that far from me spinning a story, you tried to attribute anti-semitism to Karmi - this post from back...

shafique

One spin exposed, attempt at new spin. You are nothing if not predictable FD. But thanks for speculating on how Hamas will react. Thus far, the article from 2009 shows that the Palestinians have not yet put a foot wrong in this diplomatic effort. I suspect that the Israelis are losing more sleep tha...

shafique

Be careful herve - RC will chastise you for a misleading thread title. The nobel prize isn't awarded to countries. Schectman's win is well deserved - great to see science advance. It is a shame that there are so few Arab/Muslim scientists these days - the education and focus on technology has a lot ...

shafique

What a strange and self serving definition of Antisemitism. Why are you having a go at FD? (He's the only one that has re-defined anti-semitism, I still use the dictionary definition myself) Thanks again for resurrecting the posts about Karmi - as we saw in the threads linked to, you ran out of arg...

shafique

Yes, that is a phenomenal feat. And if you count the number of Jewish nobel prize winners (not Israelis) I suspect there is a higher number. IIRC the first Muslim scientist to win a Nobel prize in science was back in 1979 when Prof Abdus Salam won it for Physics. I know a couple of his sons personal...

shafique

Well, given how you are usually wrong in your beliefs about other people - I'm flattered. Seriously. But why is it when confronted with your own words you go so much on the defensive? Is it because you failed the first time you redefined anti-semitism? You ended that thread too with juvenile comment...

shafique

Fail. Again. Have you really forgotten how you crashed and burned the first time FD brought this up? I gave you the links above: I now realise why you refuse to link to where FD initially quoted the snippet by Karni above. People would be able to follow the thread of the discussion which ended with ...

shafique

Close to breaking point..... she cannae take much more captain!!

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

He can't argue that Karmi's beliefs aren't Antisemitic so he has to make dumb comments that have no relevance to what we're talking about. Why the denial eh? I not only crushed your erroneous view the first time round - we got to the point where you couldn't even reply to the evidence. Here are the...

shafique

His English is better than your French - so give the guy a break. I mean, he's probably still investigating DearJohn...

Just kidding herve - I hope you appreciate that I am indeed congratulating Israel for the prize.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Weren't you impressed that I made all your replies disappear in the Karmi is an Anti-Semite thread.. or was that just that you didn't have a reply? Hmmm.. remind me again what your response was?

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Sorry FD, I should have mentioned that your replies were also noticeable by their absence. I mean, you're the one that quoted the snippet without actually giving a reference in the first place. So it is you that is at fault for not giving the context. But, we have the links above and can see how you...

shafique

Just address Karmi's beliefs? Has your memory really let you down? The full article FD's snippet came from (which he didn't divulge - I had to go find it) and my response is here: http://www.dubaiforums.com/philosophy-dubai/islam-and-the-west-t43028-30.html Here's what I said then: In context the gu...

shafique

Wow. It would have been quicker if you had just reviewed your arguments from last time - at least then you could have cut and pasted your responses then. Which leads me to think you didn't actually read the articles. C'mon 'fess up - did you read and understand what Karmi was saying in the two artic...

shafique

Thanks - that makes the point very nicely. (I'm not a believer in eh's belief that it is down to genetics, I'm more inclined to believe it is nurture, not nature that explains it.) I suspect that over the next few decades you'll see more and more Chinese names appear - as they start excelling in res...

shafique

eh - don't believe your selective quotes, read what was written by the guy and understand. He does not say that Jews created schizophrenia, for example but talks about what actually happened as a result of actions taken by the Jews referenced in the article. The evidence for the apartheid policies i...

shafique

He does not say that Jews created schizophrenia, for example but talks about what actually happened as a result of actions taken by the Jews referenced in the article. The evidence for the apartheid policies in Palestine is there - and indeed you defend these policies. So he was completely correct t...

shafique

Did you read the whole article? His quote is about segregationism and it's effects. I agree with his observations. He says 'It (Segregationism) has given birth to ...' not 'Jews have given birth to..' - I highlighted the words in red. FD misleadingly excluded this first sentence when he quoted Karmi...

shafique

FD gave an intellectually misleading snippet. You're defending him and accusing Karmi of something he didn't say. Karmi rightly points out that Islam is distinct from Judaism when it comes to segregationism. The evidence is clear - Hope Simpson report of 1930 talks of the danger of the apartheid pol...

shafique

Well, with George Soros expressing sympathy for the protestors - and with them making many fundamentally sound points.. it causes a problem for those who like Cain think these Americans are 'un-American'. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15155046 Sometimes the emperor is naked, despite how ...
