Honky, I’ve always wondered. You don’t know any Muslims, you’ve never visited a Muslim.country,, I think it’s realistic to assume that you’ve never met a Muselman in your life. At most, you’ve bought a kebab - if that.
What is it that rallies you to the cause? Is it Herbie’s UK Daily Mail stories that no one reads? Old boy’s never-ever thesis? Yadda’s quotes of himself?
Moslem == a follower of Islam.
I’m curious. What was it that brought you into the fold?
Aaaah, the old
"If you haven't been sick yourself then how can you assume to treat patients as a doctor?" absurdity.
The utter idiocy that Karnal's desperation has driven him to is symptomatic of a very sick puppy indeed.
For his own neurotic purposes he is proposing that in order for someone to be informed and educated about a subject, it is not enough to draw upon the myriad news and information sources now available on the Web.
If you've sat down and talked to a Muslim for a few moments, then this confers upon you a knowledge and an 'understanding' that no matter how much reading another person has done - you're the only one with a valid opinion on the subject of Muslims.
How utterly childish in the extreme.
All of our academics and politicians learnt their craft from ... the written word.
Now now, Herbie, this totally contradicts Doubleplus’s point of view. For Double, only those who live next door to the Muselman can know what he’s really like.
Just imagine, Double’s neighbour gives out goat meat to bribe his neighbours into staying mum on his tree-lopping antics. Most unAustralian.
Sorry, Herbie, if you don’t live in Western Sydney, you really don’t have a clue. Your UK Daily Mail tally just won’t cut it, I’m afraid.
Academics like Doubleplus base their written words on genuine, made-up experiences, you know.
