Jay if the scale and intensity of reaction is anything to go by drawing cartoons is apparently a far greater act of hostility than chopping of the head of an aid worker in the name of the faith or the kidnapping of school girls as brides by those claiming to be of that faith. Perhaps that different world view but I consider the actions of those who do evil in the name of a belief or cause I value as doing the greater wrong than outsiders mocking.

West has done a lot of good and the humanity as a whole has benefitted from it immensely. History would always record with gratitude, the leadership to modernity it has provided. It's people are mostly hard working, fair minded and law abiding. They are charitable and more tolerant of diversity than possibly any other people. Others have some good in them too, that West can benefit from, in humanity's quest to find answers to the challenges currently faced, but that is a separate topic.

Humans are competitors but more like the fellow athletes in the Olympic Village. We must not view each other as enemies and not go at one and other with knives. We should instead focus on ourselves to be as good as we could be. That is the right way to win and that is what nature wants from us all. We have to overcome our weaknesses and we must constantly endeavor to do so. What will ultimately matter is how have we made ourselves better; individually and collectively. Good individuals result in good society, as society reflects the individuals it has. : “Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure there is one less rascal in the world. ( Carlyle)

The silence from our moslem friends is deafening.

I take the questions I asked are correct. moslems consider any refusal of any of their Demands as an Act of War on Islam & Persecution. Therefore they have the right to kill any Innocent Australian Civilian they please.

I suppose that jailing that moslem guy for marrying & having sex with that 12 year old is Persecution & an Act of War too.

Hi Jayb,

You suggest: 'I suppose that jailing that moslem guy for marrying & having sex with that 12 year old is Persecution & an Act of War too.'

Surely not ! Surely NC and McAdam would agree that abiding by the law and protecting the right of young children are paramount, and that it was not just illegal but an evil thing for that man to abuse that child in that way, 'marriage' or not.

And they would probably agree that any marriage celebrant who approved that abuse should also be prosecuted. Even if somebody could find support for such abuse in the Koran, NC and McAdam would surely agree that that was then, this is 2015, where the rights of children are far better protected.

Wouldn't you, NC ? McAdam ?

Could we, as Australian Law abiding Citizens, claim that moslems are being hostile towards Australia's Secular Society by demanding Sharia Law be introduced? Or, by building mosques where the people don't want them. Could those people be seen as being persecuted by being forced to have a mosque built in their neighbourhood? Could Australian people be persecuted & forced to swim behind a curtain in shame because moslems don't like to see "naked" bodies?

Should Australians consider these demands as hostile Acts? Should Australians be forced to defend ourselves until these moslems convert to a Secular Culture?

So many questions. So few answers from the vocal moslems on OLO.

There is no silence, as there is no need for it.
I am willing to respond to any question, provided it is relevant to the topic under discussion, and the topic being that fanning religious or racial hatred and spreading discord and division is not good for Australia.

Passing references and hypothetical assumptions are no questions.
