Quote:You tell me - exactly what *DO* you mean by "goes beyond regular journalistic incompetence".
I mean exactly what I said. Let's make this a bit simpler. Forget about what you think I meant. Do you agree with what I said?
Quote:You can even do it without using the word 'conspiracy' if you really want.
I am doing fine without blurting out conspiracy every single post. How about you? Can you manage?
Quote:In your last post you seemed to be going to great pains to suggest
Is this your way of acknowledging that I did not actually say what you keep accusing me of saying?
Quote:the inventions came from muslims in order to mask the threat of islam
You are the only one who has made a specific claim about this - completely without basis, of course.
Quote:No, your words:
Yes Gandalf they are my words. Now, if you read them, you will note they are significantly different from the version you made up.
Quote:You're right - I do claim to know where the reuters claim of 1000 muslims came from - reuters. Very presumptuous of me, I know.
This is what you claimed:
Quote:None of the muslims there made any of the "inventions" you refer to
Just to clarify, you do not actually know this, nor do you have any idea who made it up, do you? You really want to believe that reuters made the whole thing up, but that's about it.
Quote:The organisers in consultation with the police "decided" not to form one big ring with everyone in it.
Yes Gandalf. We have established that "it was decided". After all, they aren't zombies, merely Muslims.
Quote:Now tell me again you are having difficulty distinguishing between this and 99% of muslims present not wanting to participate.
99%? I think this crowd just ballooned again. What is the difference between not wanting to participate and deciding not to participate?
Quote:Heaven forbid there might be people who might want to harm such people. I mean its not like Norway has never had a guy going on a shooting rampage over his obsession with islam in Europe have they?
And this is likely to happen as a result of Muslims forming a symbolic ring? No wonder they tried to turn it into a protest against Islamophobia. They must huddle together in groups so the police can protect them with a barricade. At what point do you realise how ludicrous this sounds?
Quote:Except not one of the "endless stream of lies" about this came from any muslim.
So you keep saying. Other than finding the lies in a newspaper, which you seem to think is all the evidence you need for where it came from, is there anything else that makes you think that not one of them came from a Muslim? Is this another case of you "having no reason to" assume all the Muslims involved are completely honest?
Quote:But of course we must do that thing thats definitely not a "big leap of logic" and assume the "lies" that were published by western news wires really came from muslims - right?
You are assuming the opposite Gandalf, without evidence. Instead of seeing this for what it is, you keep pretending I am making the same mistake you are. You are the only one making this error.
Quote:Not my invention, its mentioned in the TOI article which you will never read (why would you - you wouldn't be able to continually question what is in it).
So the first symbolic line symbolising a symbolic ring was a bit of a failure at only 20 people, but there was a second line consisting of hundreds of people? And even though you have already looked silly by regurgitating the first newspaper article in the face of all the evidence that it was wrong, you now insist this second line was real because you read it in another article, which for some reason you refuse to quote or link to again?
