well ok. that was the short answer - the long answer is something along the lines of: because you disagree with it *AND* its about muslims *AND* its politically incorrect *AND* its an affront to your cultural imperialist ideology.

Politically incorrect? Brian? You apologise right now Gandalf!

FD has never apologised for his 2007 posts, G. Given they contain the most heinous examples of spinelessness ever uttered on this board, FD must take much pride in them.

Brian is frequently politically incorrect. Have you read his views on defence issues? Disgusting and very right-wing! Grin

Just because you are losing an argument doesn't mean you can resort to insulting him. You have no right, seeing as he is not a Muslim. You are not even capable of it.

True, FD, but you’re still waiting for that grovelling apology from Abu too, no?

Abu, Falah, the other one - would it help if I apologized on their behalf?

Allow me to apologize for any offence caused by all those hideous Muselmen. No one has the right to not be offended, but Islam is offensive to all.

Islam, the tinted races, multiculturalism, spineless apologetics - all hurtful to every decent person, and all deeply offensive.

On behalf of them all, FD, I apologize.

I’m not in a position to offer financial compensation, but I do hope this goes some way to healing your pain.

Why? He hasn't insulted me. The only people who seem to be inflicting their political views on us are you and your ilk, FD. All I've ever suggested is that people should be given a fair go. You OTOH want to prejudge them on the basis of what other people sharing the same religious name with them may have done. In otherwords, Guilt by Association.

Exactly. Gandalf, you are lucky Brian is not overseas, or he may not even realise you are talking about him.

They are free to associate with Muslims if they like, and I judge them by their words and deeds, just like I judge you by your words.

You insist that your views on Muslims and Islam are the only acceptable ones. Roll Eyes

You really are working on your thatching skills, FD. Roll Eyes

Perhaps you'd like to provide a reference to where I have suggested that?

No, you don't. You continually show the reverse, FD. Roll Eyes

I wouldn't post my views if I didn't think I was right Brian. I'm really not sure what you are whining about here. Are you jealous of the Muslims' victimhood (of criticism) and desperate to claim some kind of victimhood (of being disagreed with) for yourself?

Quote:

No problem Brian. What is thatching BTW? Did you make that word up?

Is this the Islam you are so keen to defend with your "fair deal" nonsense, what about those who no longer believe in that bullshit barfed up by a 7th century desert bandit do they deserve a fair deal like article 18 of the Universal declaration of human rights?

7 nations where atheism is punishable by death.
All 7 establish Islam as the state religion.
Pakistan,Saudi Arabia,Iran,Afghanistan,Sudan,Mauritania and the Maldives

I make no excuses for those nations and their laws, BV. I merely recognise that it is their right to create and unfortunately impose those punishments. It is terrible but I also recognise I have no right or ability to criticise them. I am neither a member of their religion or a citizen of any of those nations.

Quote:

Ah, so I don't judge people? Is that what has you so upset now? You are a hard man to please Brian. Perhaps you should just tell me what is the correct opinion for me to have?

I think Yadda has brought up an interesting issue here. There is a strong contrast between Islam and Christianity on this particular issue. Where Christianity preaches forgiveness, Islam preaches revenge and escalation of conflict. I think it is no accident that so many conflicts with Muslims get dragged on over the decades, and it is usually Muslims doing the dragging, from a position of military inferiority. I think even Gandalf has acknowledged the tendency for Muslims to falsely or unreasonably claim aggrieved status.

Of course, Christianity had its wars over centuries when it was either fighting advancing Islam, or itself.

Having fought Islamic nations to a standstill, Christianity ripped itself apart for a few hundred years with sectarian wars... Firstly Eastern and Western Christianity (the Great Schism - still split today), then Catholic-Protestant reformation/counter-reformation wars.

Although largely at peace with itself for the last 300 years, Christianity has remained an element of some modern wars in a cryptic sense (i.e. Northern Ireland), where its influence is closer to a 'cold war' effect.

Also, Neo-Christianity does involve itself in modern conflicts but, again, in a cryptic sense, with, for example, the support of Israel by neo-Christians for religious reasons as opposed to purely political reasons.
