But you do not want toi hear what you do not endorse - typical and is the root of your problem with free speech.
Funny thing to say to someone who comes here day after day to listen to your tripe - and then tries to debate it calmly and rationally (a futile pursuit it seems).
Anyway it just so happened there was an interesting article in today's Oz by Ms Hirsi. Interesting because her criticisms of islam could hardly be more different to your own. She takes the view that the problem muslims are those who actually create problems - the islamists, the jihadists and the sharia advocates. Not the people who are guilty of the high crime of wearing a beard or a hijab. In fact she draws a very clear distinction between what she terms the "Mecca muslims" and the "Medina muslims". The Mecca muslims are the good decent, peaceful muslims - and are in the overwhelming majority. The Medina muslims are the small minority of islamists and jihadists. She doesn't believe that the Mecca muslims should be targeted and harassed just because of what they wear or what they look like - no, they should be engaged and encouraged to participate in the campaign to marginalise the Medina muslims. Its the sort of argument you have toyed with in the past - before you descended into your current "items of clothing and facial hair is the real enemy" spewtem.
It takes an apostate to explain all that, doesn't it. In any case I cannot tell a Mecca Muslim apart from a Medina one. Nor could you until Hirsi Ali explained it to you. But I am glad you are being intellectually guided by a fearless apostate.
And it's not for me to delve into the intricacies of your tribal and religious disputes. It is for you to actively fit in and actively assimilate. This is neither Mecca nor Medina and most of us do not care for either, nor for the feuds their signify. I do not want to be required to be up on Islam's bloody history. Leave it behind, fit in, prove that you can rise above it.
Or go back to Araby and play Mecca and Medina Islam there if that is more important and you can't leave it well alone and behind you.
Do not drag me into Islam's bloody disputes. Not until I go to Islam. You are not here, in the UK, Europe, North America, etc, to keep that sh!te alive everywhere you go.
