Obviously the world problem with Islam is too big for us to solve. Islam itself will have to work it out and in the interim perhaps millions will die. Their problem!

What we need to do is protect Aus citizens here as much as possible. This means harsh laws relating to terrorist acts and reducing the risk by stopping further muslim immigration and refugee intake. I would encourage any muslim that wants to leave, for whatever reason, to do so with the proviso that it is permanent and he/she drops his/her Aus citizenship.

Muslims have clearly shown for decades that they will not or cannot integrate and they have a completely different social and cultural rules to live by. Multiculturalism certainly failed in this regard.

When one reads about the atrocities committed by some of the Heads of a State in a fake photograph taken supposedly in front of the marches lat week I cringe.

Keith,

>> Should criticism be allowed of a religion or its leaders? This is called "blasphemy". <<

In my New Oxford American Dictionary blasphemy is “the action or offence of speaking sacrilegiously about God or sacred things”, similarly Wikipedia; neither of them contains “criticism of a religion or its leaders”.

Suse,

All Muslims read the Koran and believe that Muhammad was God's Prophet etc., etc., and if they don't then they are not Muslims. So we have a fair idea of what they think.

misanthrope,

The koran is not a big book and my copy is in Arabic and English so it is effectively two copies in one binding and one could easily read it in one day, say six hours if it were not for the strangeness of the text.
It does not flow easily for the native English reader.

Other than that you are quite right; how did you ever come to the conclusion that I am not a Muslim?
Deductive reasoning?

I do find it interesting that the same people who believe, [have fallen for], the global warming scam also believe, [have fallen for], the scam that Muslims are all sweetness & light.

I wonder, can it be defective genes?

Jardine k jardine "What did Jesus say when they asked him whether they should stone the adulteress?"
i believe the authors of the Bible stated that Jesus wanted to forgive the adulteress.

That doesn't negate all the violent things mentioned in the bible though does it?
Nor did it stop all the violence carried in the name of the Christian God over all these years.
Violent people are violent by nature as far as I am concerned, whether they believe they are doing this in the name of some imagined being or not....
