By Tanveer Ahmed, published 27/10/2006

For Muslims, honour, shame, and the obsession with saving face are paradigms at the core of their identities.

I suppose I do underestimate the power of al-jazeera's "filthy propaganda, though apparently I'm not allowed to mention that the hard right has their own propaganda with a much bigger budget.

Mentioning that of course is apparently taboo, because those of us who feel the need to point out the other side are supposedly being pseudo-racists against our own kind.

As for measuring power, fine.
Let's just dump any semblance of logic and say they're all as powerful as each other. Let's just trust our leaders, and be sure they'll do the right thing. How could I possibly be as stupid as to say the American President is powerful and needs to be monitored?

All I can say is I am against bigotry regardless of creed, though if you want to deny that, then fine.
It doesn't really make much iota of difference to me in the long run, believe what you will.

I fear this discussion has ceased to be constructive, and bid you adieu before I really do start ranting.

sabasakin,
I note you have lifed phrases as quotes from my posts taken out of context to suit you point of view. You have misquoted my point of view, with deception. The current views of rape and sex is forbidden within Islam, but unbelievers are uncovered meat waiting for muslim cats [Muslim males]to devour. The most senior Muslim Immam of Australia has expressed the current Muslim view of western women - they incite rape in his view.

For those still interested, or hopefully, with an air of reflective realisation to some pragmatic longevity, the debate continues. here is a transcript from sbs's insight program

So Arjay, what kind of effort would it take you to say ASIO and our Federal Police should be doing something.

About exposing racists and bigot attacking Muslims and Islam with opinions based on flawed logic and emotions rather then the facts?

BOAZ_David in getting what he thinks is The Koran from a web site where anyone can change the information.

It is clear that David and others who do the same thing is scare of the truth, especially of what different versions of The Koran is really saying.
