‘Make Every Woman Wear a Burkha’

Although I would never support the view of a Muslim Britain. However, unless UK and EU law is changed, these misguided individuals have the right of free speech as long as violence is not incited then the authorities will act and arrests and prosecutions will occur, and as necessary, deportation. People who come to Britain to live, study or holidaying should adopt the laws, customs and traditions of Britain. Those who can't or won't adapt should get onto the next available aircraft and depart these shores.

‘Make Every Woman Wear a Burkha’[^] And now we see the appropriateness of the user-info image I'd used until it was removed as "religiously offensive" (anyone with eyes to see could see that it was a political statement). This Moslem bullshit will never stop until Westerners refuse to put up with it any longer -- but to effectively oppose the Islamization and dhimmification of our societies would mean admiting that we took a wrong-turn at the so-called "Enlightenment," and what are the chances of that happening before it's too late?

Are bound by British law. Which customs? Which traditions? Other than Derek Ibbotson's retirement mile, I have never been to a sporting event in my life! :)

Do you ... a mere kuffr ... have the right of free speech to say "Bullocks!" to them and about them? The fact is, you don't.

If you believe that they you simply aren't paying attention.

Beer is served at room temperature because it is worth tasting. Anything that has to be served ice-cold is probably not worth tasting. ;P

We have strayed as far from Allah as we have from Yahweh. Does he think that we can only be saved from one bunch of Semetic Myths by adopting another?

I keep trying to understand the idea of a Supreme Being that wants to see His creations murder each other over their various interpretations of Him. Since I've seen hundreds of posts like the OP that seem to be filled with hatred or when they really get going, violence, I have to assume not everyone has this problem. Don't get me wrong, I do understand, better than most, that there are times when men or nations will/must use violence to achieve their goals, I just don't understand claiming that their omnicient, omnipotent, benevolent Creator wants them to do so. :confused:

The basic issue, as I see it, is that you would take the point of view of radicals, and present it as if it were a mainstream agenda. My father wants an Australian theocracy, he wants Christianity to be law. No-one is going to jump on nut cases like him, because although I'm sure the US has them, as members of a basically Christian based society, you understand that such people are radical. without such a frame of reference into the Muslim world, it's far easier to view the radicals as if they are the mainstream, and create a climate of fear which only helps the more radical elements to achieve their aims. Yes, you are doing the terrorists dirty work. Congratulations.

I have to disagree with you on that. The enlightenment itself was the pinnacle of western civilization. It freed christianity from the state, and established a model for limiting political power to only the enforcement of laws and a few essential responsibilities. The problem occurs when the enlightenment message is coopted by a new form of moral authoritarianism disguising itself as a product of the enlightenment but which is really a means of returning us to pre-enlightenment social and political conditions. The enlightenment was first and foremost about the liberation of humanity from centralized authoritarianism. The modern left is about anything but that.
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

I suspect it comes down to looking for a way to tell some blokes who just want to sit at home, work and play with their kids, that they should be willing to die for the political will of their leaders. Telling them it's the path to heaven seems like a bright way to get them to accept meaningless death.

Thats insane. Your dad isn't training children to go into other people's contries and murder them. If he tried that, he would be stopped. The reason that happens in our society and not in muslim society is becuase there are fundamental differences between the two societies. They are not the same thing. One is better than the other. A society that does not produce international terrorism is better than one which does. That is not a 'frame of reference', it is simply a fact. And to suggest that obeserving that fact somehow causes more terrorism is simply a means of blaming your own society for faults you refuse to acknowledge in another because to do so would make you some kind of a racist. Islamic terrorism does not exist because of us. It exists because islamic civilization is just fucked up.

Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

No, he's not. Thankfully for me... The point is, that what is IS doing, is extreme, BUT, if you read about it in your newspaper, you'd have no doubt that most people who claim some level of Christianity, do not share his beliefs, because you have that frame of reference. When you read about some guy who is training his children to kill others, you don't have that frame of reference to know that he's an extremist, so you're better able to be told that all Muslims feel this way. You also probably don't have the frame of reference that tells you why he'd do this, or why he feels that this is reasonable behaviour, it probably has less to do with Islam than his perception of his situation and who he blames for it, but that's another story, and it does not excuse the act.

Yes, that is probably true. The question is, what percentage of the people where this hypothetical person lives, share his views.

Yes, but this also needs defining. Is the problem something endemic in a way of life, some people just 'hate freedom' and 'hate life' ? Or are the people who are becoming terrorists radicalised not by their religion ( the 'all Muslims are terrorists' viewpoint ), but by their own specific situation ? This is not meant as an apology for terrorism, which is unthinkable. It's just that nice little theories like 'they hate us because we're free', if they are BS, which seems obvious to me, mean that any attempts being made to stop it, are based on a misconception and thus will fail.

Race has bugger all to do with it. My point was that when people suggest that all Muslims are terrorists, that breeds racism, and if you treat all Muslims as terrorists, and abuse their human rights,
