Running scared of the fact that the ordinary man who wields the pen truthfully, plus the actions of the muslims themselves, will destroy islam?

Australia doesn't have a dress code.

Muslims have a dress code.

It is a dress code that marks them out as aliens. They know it and they do it anyway.  Rather, they do it because they know it marks them apart.  It is important to THEM to be, to feel, to be seen as being apart. That is the only purpose of their dress code.


Fascinating logic - really fascinating.

People from all walks of life make dress a statement of their identity. Yes, absolutely they want to "mark themselves" - as a proud member of group x - whether its a religious group, member of the gay community, a supporter of a particular sporting team, etc etc. This is one of the most natural and common things about our culture, no one bats an eyelid. Yet when muslims do it, you somehow make the leap that its a deliberate act of belligerence - some sort of act of war against society. I literally cannot fathom the mindset that leads to this logic - other than the usual prejudice that muslims are guilty by default, and that their every move is automatically judged to be sinister and belligerent. 

Soren at least think about this: do you accept that people have a right to adopt a particular belief system? I assume you do - surely you do. If so, then does it not logically follow that you would also accept that these people have a right to proudly outwardly identify with such a belief system? And if so, why wouldn't you accept that adopting attire that represents said belief system is a mere expression of this pride - and that there is no reason to assume that this act must necessarily be a declaration of war against the host culture?



People also have the right to criticise and oppose any belief system, including Islam.

Islam is openly, and by definition, hostile to Western liberal democracy.  The sharia-compliant dress is a constant outward signal and reminder of this. It has no other meaning in the West - it is not practical, it is not preferable on any grounds except ideology, it is not about blending in (as it is in Yemen and other sharia-compliant societies). Here is is nothing but a demontration of "I stand with Islam - and not with you infidel lot".

The thing is, there has never been a pogrom against Muslims, there has been no genocide against Muslims in the West. But Muslims have been committing genocide for a long time, the latest is by ISIL which very closely resembles the Ottoman Muslim genocide of Armenian Christians 100 years ago.  If Muslims are victims it's only ever of other Muslims.
The common thread linking the Ottomans and ISIL is Islam:


At the time there were 15 million Turkish Muslims and about two million Christian Arm­enians in Turkey (or Anatolia as it was then). The Armenians were better educated and wealthier than most Turks and because of that were envied and hated, so much so that the government instituted a program of ethnic cleansing. The Turks had had practice runs before. Between 1894 and 1896, 200,000 Armenians were massacred by soldiers and armed mobs.

From May to September 1915, up to two million Armenians were killed or expelled from the Ottoman Empire. The adult men were massacred or sent to death camps, while their families were sent on death marches through the desert. They were murdered, raped, drowned, burned alive and left to die of hunger and thirst. Churches, monasteries and schools were destroyed. All material goods were confiscated. Girls were made sex slaves and forced to convert. Up to 1.5 million died.

Nope, not in the slightest.  I know 'cause I know the majority of Australians don't agree with you, Moses.  You are in that sad, tiny, minority of bigots and Islamophobes who disrupt our daily lives in Australia with your ranting and raging against your fellow Australians.   Roll Eyes

Of course you are.  Since when has a bigot ever recognised that they are a bigot?

I don't doubt that you'd have, in bygone eras been just as bigoted, Moses.  Your target(s) might have been different but you'd still have been happy persecuting them.  Your sort of mindset never changes.

Do you believe, being bigoted is virtuous?  Forgotten Mark 9:38-40 or Luke 9:49-50 or Luke 9:52-56 or even John 4:7-27 ?   Roll Eyes

Care to provide a quote where I have excused or "apologised" for any acts of "terrorism, mass murder, beheading, depravity etc", Moses?

In reality, I condemn.  I just don't blame every Muslim for them.  Just as I don't believe every Christian should be blamed for any atrocities committed by Christians, Moses.

Your continued attempts at persecution of all Muslims are disgusting.

I do not defend it.  I defend Muslims, Moses.  You appear unable to differentiate between the two for some reason.    Roll Eyes

Why do you respond dishonestly to posts which attack islam and it's related inhumanities, if your not defending it?
