By Najla Turk, published 16/2/2017

I am your ordinary, middle-class, working mother that happens to be a practising Muslim who profoundly opposes terrorism and is ardently seeking harmony.

Dear Is Mise,

No.

I'm simply a believer in a "fair go" for all.

I don't see the world in very rigid and stereotyped
terms.

To Foxy.

Then a non rigid view of the world is your particular stereotype of the world is.

Dear LEGO,

No.

I'm not a therapist.

People have to solve their own problems.

Dearest Foxy,

Can you say 'neither' ? That 'Neither is acceptable' ? 'Neither bashing children nor bashing women is acceptable' ? It's not some sort of (excuse me) pissing contest, or ranking with a prize at the end. Criminal behaviour AND vile cultural practices and beliefs, any behaviour which terrorises anybody into behaving as someone else wants, may be equally abhorrent. Maybe such behaviour which falls back on some cultural and/or religious justification is worse, partly because it implicitly calls on an entire community to support it.

Can you bring yourself to say that ? Perhaps a bit more articulately than me ?

Love notwithstanding,

Joe

Dear Joe,

Go back and read my post on page 38 of this
discussion. I did try to cover violence and
murder and everything else that pathologically
sick people committed.

Foxy,

Muslims who follow the Qur'an to the letter are normal people and their Holy Book inspired killings, honour killings and wife bashing are not, in their culture unlawful, so they do not fit,
