I became father again!

Actually, I did...but I obviously didn't check it had been posted and not 500'd before tabbing away. :doh: For the record I'll say it again. I condemn all oppression and discrimination, along with all regimes and social structures which allow such injustice to propagate. That includes not only many Islamic nations (Iran and Saudi Arabia are notably high on my shit list), but also many others in the world (including some Western nations, in case you are wondering). That said, I would never let that detract from the joy any parent must feel at the arrival of a child, regardless of where they live. That is why I condemned what Stan posted - his remarks were at best tactless and arrogant. How the fuck could anyone not wish a happy parent well on the birth of their child?

Because I believe he was using the birth of a child as an excuse to fling his religion around thats why. I think his religion is probably far more important to him than his children. I think he was being grossly and purposefully insensitive as well as overtly confrontational by invoking the name of a diety that so many other people's children have been killed for. I grew up in the bible belt, I know a religious fanatic when I hear one. and, while I might be insensitive, at least I know when I'm being slapped in the face.

Congratulations! You've just won the prize for the biggest load of bullshit I've heard this week. Is it an aquired skill, or were you born with it? :omg: You're wrong Stan. Change "Allah" to "God" and you have a phrase you'll hear in any Evangelical Christian Church every Sunday. I also remember many sermons in one such Church in which we were told our first love must be God, and everything and everyone else (even our closeest families) must come second to that. By your definition those people were fanatics - something they quite plainly were not! Life is not black and white, no matter how much you seem to want it to be. :rose: Anna :rose: Riverblade Ltd - Software Consultancy Services Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

Have you any proof Mr Riazi act violently because of his religion or do you consider any muslim responsible for the actions of some muslim fanatics?
The fact that he invokes the name of Allah is all the proof that I need. He voluntarily associates himself with a religion that is used as a pretext for murder and bloodshed all over this planet, with absolutely no attempt to disassociated himself from those who do that. None of us, including you (hell,especially you) would let a Christian get away with that. I hold him responsible for what others do in the name of the religion he claims membership in, precisely as I would any Christian. I do not believe that "moderation" is ever an appropriate response to fanaticism. Anyone who remains moderate in the face of fanaticism is nothing but a coward - at best.

Guy is happy t obe a father again - Stan insults him on his religion. Yea, Really f***ing funny.
Reply 1: He's the one that posted the happy tidings in the soap box. Reply 2: His religion is a joke and deserves to be insulted. Reply 3: Multiculturalism (ie "Tolerance for all beliefs that are not Christian") also deserves to be insulted and at every possible opportunity.

Every religion is a joke, but most of us are equipped with the brainwiring that tells us when it's not appropriate to point out things like that. "God doesn't play dice" - Albert Einstein "God not only plays dice, He sometimes throws the dices where they cannot be seen" - Niels Bohr
