Quote:Today, you are proposing something very similar.
Brian why is it that every time I ask you a simple question you start making stuff up about me.
Perhaps the point is, while your questions may appear innocuous, there is deep, underlying attitudes behind it which you don't like being put on display?
Quote:I mean a complete fabrication that has nothing to do with what I am talking about. Do you think I am someone else from your glorious history of defending all that is right on internet forums? Here I am talking about discrimination and you think I am the Nazi?
I believe your attitudes lead to the same results, FD. If you don't like what I've said, refute it but changing your tune. Stop attacking Muslims and their religion at every turn, in multiple threads and forums...
Quote: Quote:Your attempt to compare apples and oranges (again) is a poor effort, grasping at straws to try and justify your discrimination and bigotry towards everything Muslim.
What am I trying to compare? You are the only one making a comparison. This is all I asked: Brian, if the market decided on discrimination in the workplace, would you still be indifferent?
If you knew your Adam Smith, you'd know the "market" never discriminates, FD, unless there is an underlying attitude which promotes discrimination. Of course I would not be indifferent to that attitude, would you welcome it though?
Quote: Quote:And before you protest that is not your or any of the other bigots that you host here's intentions, just think about what you say and look at it from the perspective of Muslims.
Yes Brian I can understand why Muslims (and their limp-wristed apologists) would be upset by me always talking about freedom, democracy, human rights etc rather than respecting a Muslim's right to act like a 7th century Arab warlord.
You talk about "freedom, democracy, human rights," for everybody but Muslims, FD. Do not Muslims have rights to freedom from persecution, freedom of speech and expression and religion? Do not Muslims have the right to partake in our democracy and human rights? Yet you seem hell bent on persecuting them, denying them freedom of speech, expression and religion...
Quote: Quote:You must heckle and conjole and criticise them at every turn, for everything that one Muslim may have done thousands of kilometres and over a thousand years ago.
If Muslims would leave Muhammed in the 7th century, I'm sure everyone else would be more than happy to also.
Most Muslims look to him in the same way that most Christians look to Christ and most Buddhists to Buddha - as an inspiration and a moral guide. You, like the fundamentalists look to him as being a literal inspiration, FD.
Tell me, what difference is there between your interpretation of the Q'ran and that of a Takfiri Islamist?
