The only evidence you have provided merely described it as an "online survey". If you are now talking about a different survey, you should say. You should at least provide a link so we can know what you are on about.

There is a long list of reasons why you are wrong. I was hoping that it would be sufficient to merely point you in the right direction. To me, and the 20 other people who responded to the poll, this falls into the bleeding obvious category.

This is what you said about it:

Regardless of your intention, what it proves is that you are out of touch with Australian society. It is hard to believe this could come from someone living here.

It reveals far more about you than it does about Australians.

This is where the conversation has gone Gandalf. If you were capable of realising just how wrong you are, you would understand this. You can't just say something that stupid and expect the conversation to move on as if you never said it, or as if it must be taken at face value.

Yes you do Gandalf, and we are still scratching our heads. In Karnal's words, "Ah".

Ah.

FD - mainstream muslims are definitely more freedom hating than mainstream Australians.

Proof? easy - because Gandalf is out of touch, and therefore the "long list of reasons" doesn't need any elaboration.

Yes, that really is FD's argument.

Here's a tip Gandalf. Instead of asking me why you are wrong about what the majority of Australians want, why don't you try finding another Australian who agrees with you? Only one person voted yes in the poll, and they are afraid to own up to their opinion.

It really is that simple Gandalf. You are wrong because that is not what Australians want. It doesn't get any simpler than that.

It's 20 now. Against one person, who is afraid to own their opinion. And Gandalf still insists that one person represents the vast majority of Australian.

For someone who objected to being dragged into this debate, you are making a great effort to participate Karnal.

Do you agree with what Gandalf said Karnal?

I guess you weren't joking when you said the Muslims make you afraid to have an opinion.

Do you think the vast majority of Australians want the government to ban criticism or mockery of religion?

Do you think the survey Gandalf posted shows this to be the case?

Criticism and mockery have been banned plenty of times in the past. You merely have to chop the head off people who criticise or mock. What is ridiculous is saying that this is what the vast majority of Australians want, or that it somehow depends on how you phrase the question.

You know the answer Karnal. You just can't bring yourself to give a straight answer.
