It's a crying shame the ABC/SBS doesn't take legal action against carnts
like Bolt etc. for spreading this kind of defamatory filth and lies.

Are there any specific lies in the article?

"CRITICISE Islam and you’re an “Islamophobe”

Nonsense.

I criticise Islam, and I'm no Islamophobe.

Islamophobia is a prejudice against, hatred towards, or fear of the religion of Islam or Muslims.

Informed criticism is perfectly fine; it doesn't mean that one hates Islam or is frightened of Muslims.

Really?? When have you ever 'criticised' Islam??

In this forum, at least a dozen times.

Do a search of "I think Islam is a particularly silly religion", and my name will come up.

And, just so there's no doubt in your mind, I'll say it again just for you, without the quotation marks:

Islam is a particularly silly religion, and I don't know why anyone would want to be a part of it.

There we go - In the future, pay attention.

I celebrate different religions and cultures. I despise the failed philosophy of forcing them upon US.

Ditto.

Those Christians love to knock on the door and force their pamphlets into your hands though, don't they?

I haven't seen any Muslims doing that.

In fact, I have never had a Muslim mention religion to me at all. Not once.

Many of my Christian friends and family members, however, never shut up about it.

I've been asked several times, by Christians, to attend a church.

Not once have I been asked by a Muslim to attend a mosque.

Who has been forcing their religion onto you?

That's funny Gweggary ... comparing Mormons(no pamphlets) & Jehovahs Witnesses to Muslims.

Firstly both are polite & may want to talk to you ...Mormons may ask to come in & bless your house....

Never had a Jehovah force a pamphlet into my hand

& with both you can tell them you're not interested or to bugger off.

And they leave ........

hardly a comparison to the violence we see when Muslims for the slightest criticism or feigned insult.

The comment was in regard to people forcing their religion onto others (see the highlighted text above).

I have never - ever - had a Muslim talk to me about religion, and I have never - ever - had a Muslim knock on my door trying to convert me.

I can't say the same for Christians.

How many Muslims have knocked on your door, trying to sell you their religion?

No... you're right ....... they have other methods of forcing their ideals & beliefs on other non muslims ....

by stealth (legislation allowing Muslim courts aka sharia), Halal Certification scam, PC & dopey judiciary excusing criminal activity(child molesting) because of "cultural differences" etc

& by direct violence ...

that has been demonstrated in every western country who has openly welcomed Muslim migration.

Without fail.

I believe the last great battle will be over water.

... but by then it won't be so much a battle as an apocalypse.

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

Personal abuse - this is what you should stick to. Everything else seems to be a bit of a struggle for you.
