Thats right, his stupid belief that we should all live peacefully together in harmony. Serves him right eh?


Do you think his murder demonstrates how Islam and pluralism can live side by side?

Muslims just respected diversity and the Christians of Pakistan on Easter Sunday.

At least 70 dead due to Islam's respect for diversity - in a Muslim majority country.  Another blow has been struck for Muslim employment and integration everywhere.  And the Paki Secret Service wouldn't know about it. Yeah right.



At Arncliffe in Sydney,
"Police hunt shooters after 23-year-old man suffers multiple gunshot wounds in Arncliffe"

It never ends. Different story, same people.

Obviously not.

I do however think that the existence of a muslim wanting to send a happy easter message to christians does. I also think that the fact that this one incident made world headlines and everyone is talking about it demonstrates all that needs to be said on the matter. Or do you think this was the only muslim in the west who wished christians a happy easter?

A lot of Pakistani Christians were also killed on Easter Sunday.

It made the headlines because it demonstrates the one way tolerance of Islam versus the rest of the world: Muslims are tolerated despite their daily outrages.

And because it happened in Scotland. Christians are killed every day, in great numbers, by Muslims in Muslim countries and you bemoan the fact that Westerners do not like Muslims killing ANYONE in the West, let alone another Muslim who wishes his compatriots happy Easter.

Your hypocrisy is staggering. Why do Western Muslims tolerate anyone among them who will kill another Muslim for wishing happy Easter in Scotland??  You have had at least 15 years to clense your communities of such evil Muslims - but their numbers have only grown.

Their numbers have only grown because Western Muslims have tolerated them, excused them, encouraged and harboured them.  If Western Muslms were really serious about eradicating Muslim terrorism in the West, it would have happened by now.

But you are not serious. You excuse, you blame the victims, you are deflecting.

You are simply not fair dinkum, that's the problem. If you were serious there would be no Western Muslim terrorism.  It is very simple and that is why it must not be said.ii

I wouldn't say he exists any more Gandalf. He's dead, remember?

Did you wish anyone a happy easter?

Oh ?

And how do you come to that conclusion gandalf ???

To come to that conclusion,

The inference in your post #20 is wholly unsubstantiated.

To prove that Asad Shah

you would need to prove that tenets of ISLAM do not prohibit religious and political pluralism.

ISLAMIC LAW....

"Ibn 'Umar related that the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said, "I have been ordered to kill the people until they testify that there is no god except Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and they establish prayer and pay the zakah. If they do that, their blood and wealth are protected from me save by the rights of Islam. Their reckoning will be with Allah." (Related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.) "

"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. "
Koran 9.29


"There is for you an excellent example (to follow) in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people: "We are clear of you and of whatever ye worship besides Allah: we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever,- unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone"....."

Well done FD. You and Mark Steyn are making an excellent case that a pluralistic Islam can't exist without making a few nutters pissed off. But you are not making the case that pluralistic Islam can't exist.

Excuse me while I interrupt your crocodile tears over christian victims, but a minor detail that you probably didn't (want to) consider - a) most of the people killed in the Lahore attack were muslim and b) the overwhelming majority of victims of Islamic terror are muslims. Something like 95%+.

But please, continue lecturing me about hypocrisy.

And now you know that muslims overwhelmingly bear the brunt of Islmaic terrorism, do you think that is a little inconvenient for your muslim hive-mind narrative, where we're all on the same page about wanting to slaughter christians? Tell me what are your thoughts on the muslims in Lahore celebrating easter with christians?

It's the nutters that cause the problem Gandalf. You only have to look at Syria to see what 'a few nutters' can get up to when they have a violent creed to motivate and coordinate them.

I take it you did not wish anyone a happy easter then?

Thank you captain obvious, I totally didn't know that a minority of nutters can cause problems.

Do you think Mr Asad Shah was the only muslim in the west that wished a christian a happy easter?

Why would you assume that?

I celebrate christmas and easter with my non-muslim family, not that it has anything to do with it. Must be awfully sinister eh? Just another 'grinning muslim' I suppose? How about we keep childish attempts at personal insults out of this hmm?

No, but I bet there'll be a lot less of it next easter, now that he has been made an example of.

What rubbish.

Its like saying there will be a lot less labour party gatherings in Norway after Anders Brievik's rampage.

It was a single incident - name me one other incident in the west where a muslim has been murdered, or even attacked by other muslims for being nice to Christians. I can't think of any. And thats why its world headline news and we're all talking about it - because it almost never happens. Far more muslim women are physically attacked in the west for wearing a hijab, but there's no evidence less women wear the hijab.
