FD defends the right of muslim women to wear the burqa.
But what FD and his ilk will never accept is that
personal freedoms must extend to having the freedom not to be vilified and intimidated on the basis of religion.
What a hypocrite!As that is precisely how all 'rightly guided' moslems behave [within the authority of the law], in ALL moslem majority jurisdictions.
Quote:The "freedom" to wear the burqa is rather meaningless if the people who choose to wear the burqa cannot do it without fear of being harassed and intimidated for making that choice.
Freedom to criticise must be protected, but protecting people's right to not be vilified is just as important.
Especially when it is based on outright lies.
gandalf,
How would you describe a group of people who join, or, who choose to freely associate with members of an organisation, which teaches its members that it is 'lawful' ['lawful' in their 'society'], to murder people who do not believe as they believe ?
A moslem, is a person who chooses to embrace a philosophy [ISLAM], which teaches every moslem, that it is 'lawful' for a moslem, to kill those, who do not believe, as he believes.gandalf,
You speak
of the importance of moslems NOT being vilified,
"Especially when it is based on outright lies."
gandalf,
I condemn moslems, all moslems.
And, imo, there can be no 'innocent' moslems [among those who have come to the age of consent, and yet still declare themselves to be moslems.]
But gandalf, who are the people, who are the
'outright liars' ?
JUST A SINGLE EXAMPLE, WHICH EXPOSES WHO THOSE LIARS ARE;The Muslim Council of Britain [which represents all British 'mainstream' moslems] declares on its website, that the moslem community of the UK, condemns extremism and violence.... Quote:Rejecting Terror
Thursday, 11 April 2013
Muslims everywhere consider all acts of terrorism that aims to murder and maim innocent human beings utterly reprehensible and abhorrent. There is no theological basis whatsoever for such acts in our faith. The very meaning of the word 'Islam' is peace. It rejects terror and promotes peace and harmony.

ISLAMIC law...."Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Prophet said: "The bare essence of Islam and the basics of the religion are three [acts], upon which Islam has been established.
Whoever leaves one of them becomes an unbeliever and his blood may legally be spilled. [The acts are:] Testifying that there is no God except Allah, the obligatory prayers, and the fast of Ramadan."...."
fiqhussunnah/#3.110
n.b.
"Whoever......becomes an unbeliever.....his blood may legally be spilled."FROM THE SUNNA OF MOHAMMED"...If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him."

Who is a moslem ?
"Allah is my god, and Mohammed is his prophet."
[i.e. these, are the Allah, and the Mohammed, that are described in the Koran and Hadith]
By making such a declaration;
;
.....every moslem, is choosing to
directly associate themselves with the 'religious' violence which ISLAM justifies,
legitimises, promotes and encourages [within the moslem community].
And every moslem is thereby associating >> themselves << with every violent criminal act which is purposefully done,
'in the name of Allah/ISLAM'.

Shahadah
The Shahadah is the ISLAMIC declaration of faith [so as to become a moslem].
The Shahadah goes;
Quote: “There is no god but Allah; Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”
Longer versions are common, especially those beginning with “I bear witness” or “I testify,” e.g.:
“I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.”
http://www.answeringmuslims.com/2012/10/what-is-shahada.htmlIt is not credible, imo, that a person declares himself to be a 'moslem', and that that person, a self declared moslem, then tries to portray to others [non-moslems] that he is unaware that,
the fundamental tenets and laws of ISLAM, mandate a relationship of everlasting hatred and cultural enmity towards all persons who are not moslems.
