As far as I am concerned all religions are utter nonsense and ripe for humour.

You can disagree with what Norm says, as many have done and will continue to do, but he has as much right to post his opinions as anyone else, especially as unlike many on here he makes an effort at back up his views. Can't say as I've noticed him throwing around many personal insults either.
All can can voice their opinions, but be realistic, and don't attack others just beacuse they have disgree with you...., I do agree with Sherri

Thanks for your reply Meow. I sincerely apologise for any misinterpretation.

Despite the fact that I am pretty annoyed with your absurd rant and can say a few things without being too offensive to sort out your mischief, I’ll let you off this time out of respect.

You are well respected on and off line and as I have mentioned previously, I shall in my best obey the rules of the monastery during my time on the bored and always stay away from a situation that involve disagreeing or disrespecting you. Please make sure you do not take this for granted and return the favour likewise without prejudice.

Time for another Irn Bru with Vodka!!!!!

P.S: For the record, I am one of the bereaved relatives of 7/7 bombing victims. I have plenty of patience/tolereance and I want to give them bastards another chance to sort out their act but there are real issues at home and I don’t believe a mullah, this time preaching Islamic hatred, would resolve any issues in fact this would make it worse.

Also, regardless of what you and others think, I refuse to allow Norm to dispense his nonsense and get away with it lightly!!! After all, You are entitled to your own opinion but you are not entitled to your own facts and bullshit!

You're saying I've used the Nazi's as an analogy/comparison of evil in order to end an argument? My understanding of Godwin's law is to show how people are too quick to use the Nazi analogy which might suggest a lack of imagination (like comparing Bush or Blair to Hitler)...at least that's what Mike Godwin (of Godwin's law fame) suggests "Although deliberately framed as if it were a law of nature or of mathematics, its purpose has always been rhetorical and pedagogical: I wanted folks who glibly compared someone else to Hitler or to Nazis to think a bit harder about the Holocaust," - quoted from Mike's article on www.jewcy.com

Proof please because if I'm doing that I'm going to have to stop being so lazy in my comparisons. If I'm not I'll expect those who accuse me to eat their words

On what criteria would you reckon such a loss? Godwin's law? (See above!)

No one's forced to read or reply here (except Sherri of course the poor thing ) but there there are clear links to Palestinian/Arab nationalism and Nazism though - so bringing that up wouldn't be Godwin's law, just a cold reality (just for the record Amin Al Husseini and the Hanzar Division is that link but those who are interested can look that up).

Edited in a poor attempt to save space - it's still too long but no one has to read it :

You are of course entitled to any opinion about me that you like. I know many people who would disagree with you, even those who disagree with me are usually able to separate the man from the message.

Assuming you are correct and my polemics is infact “Islamic hatred” I am pretty sure I don’t exclusively post on this subject (every single post indeed – this one seems to be more about me replying to your heckles and rants than any kind of worthy polemics)…and even if I did that would be exactly none of your business wouldn’t it?

Before you reply please remember sense of humour...imagination etc etc. I have nothing personal against you Pal!
More uninvited, and unfunny conjecture about me…sigh.

They are mutually exclusive also culturalist isn’t really a well defined term yet. I simply believe some cultures are better than others that’s all.

Do you think I am against Islam as a religious ideology or against Muslims themselves as a general rule?

So what’s the difference between the West/ China who seemed to be able to figure out the basics of gender equality pretty much by themselves and the many parts of the Muslim world who seem to be fighting against it gender equality even now? Is it simply a question of development? Can women only be treated well once we have certain economic or technological achievement? If so explain Saudi or Iran or many other countries who are easily on par with the developed world yet are stoning women for adultery in 2011.

So we should all live in a borderless paradise and sing “Imagine” all day long to each other….except that can’t work in a world where most people take the concept of culture and religion and race seriously – many of them are even willing to kill over it. This is reality – and it won’t get better until the progressive cultures dominate the useless ones.

The UAE doesn’t give us passports because we are not part of their culture…I respect them for that. If we did that we’d get called racist for sure even if we based it on culture and not race. Interesting most non-Western countries also do this - try getting Japanese citizenship even if you speak Japanese and marry one.

Why do you take such a keen interest on what I post – does it affect you? Most people by this stage would just say I disagree with that Norm fellow and think he's off his trolley...and not bother anymore.

What does that mean exactly? Are you saying I ignore pre-Islamic history? Or are you saying I focus only on Islamic history and nothing else (in that case next time someone mentions something about Islam I know about I’ll try to get the topic onto the socially progressive Tang Dynasty of China and how the Ming slowed social progress allowing for the Qin to ultimately invade…).

I think we both understand each other’s perspective so I hope that’s the end of that.
