Good question FD - should I post his quote for about the 20th time?

I'll settle for a straight answer. Did Moses actually say that Muslims were a subspecies, or did you make that up when you realised I was correct that none of his actual words were racist?

Quote:

Funnily enough I called it 'racism' because its racism.

And you know it is racism because of the words you put in his mouth?

Go ahead Gandalf. It will be interesting for everyone to see the boy who cried wolf fail to see one right in front of him.

Matty agrees with Moses, FD. Do you agree with them too?

Perhaps, just perhaps, he meant what he said. But if we are going to reject that and substitute your own version of what he said, you can make it whatever you like.

When Gandalf starts a new thread explaining that Arabs are not a race, you can pop in and tell him that Moses was referring to Arabs, so it is all OK.

FD is this your way of saying you never feel the need to speak out against such racism bigoted hate speech against a specific ethno-religious group - and if its brought to your attention you'll dedicate all your time and resources to spinelessly apologise for it?

I do not want Muslims and Islam to set the tone for ANY discussion in Australia or the West.

Muslim who believe the Koran and Mohammed are the slow, thick kids in the class, dragging everyone down. I do not want them to slow down every discussion to their level, forever worrying about whether it is OK with some idiotic Muslim dogma for me to say this that or the other.

I do not want Islam to drag the rest of us back to where we were 400 years ago, just because most of them happen to be brown skinned and so we have to 'respect brown people and diversity' and all that crap for some obscure, unclear reason, even when they believe the most primitive and eyewateringly stupid stuff.

Sounds like you've done this before, FD.

How could all Muslims be an inbred subspecies with an IQ under 80? You've read the scientific Negroid/Arab article. It puts the difference between Indonesian and Arab Muslims down to the former's lack of Negroid genes - a plausible theory, remember?

Moses was referring to Arabs, as every schoolboy knows. By agreeing with him, you're confessing your wacism.

No wowies, FD. Just acknowledge it. We're all fwiends here, you know.

But of course. You flew here, yes?

You must be incenced with Waleed Aly, Frank. Winning Walkley awards, delivering the Andrew Ollie lecture, winning the gold Logie.

He's on Channel 10, Radio National and in Fairfax. Waleed Aly sets quite a lot of tone in Australia.

Still, he grew here you flew here, no?
