Steven Meyer talks about "the Muslim cause". What on earth is that? is it the same as "the Christian cause"? Is there such a thing? Or has Meyer forgotten to take his Lithium Carbonate tablets again?

Arjay claims Muhammad married a 9 year old girl. Seriously, Arjay, are you telling us Muhammad was a Christian priest?

Not content with demonising Muslims, Philip Tang appears to white-washing the murderous comunist regime China which came to power in 1949.
Mao Zedong is on record as the greatest mass murderer in history. His regime engineered a famine in 1959 that killed over 30 million people (read the Black Book of Communism). After that, he instigated a civil war called the Cultural Revolution that killed around 9 million people. The poverty and suffering of the Chinese people under the warlords and Chiang Kai-Shek was nothing compared with their tribulations under Mao. And now in China there is a one-child policy causing demographic chaos as female babies are aborted in favour of sons. So much for women's equality. In order, the greatest murderers in modern history are Mao, Stalin and Hitler. None of them were Muslim. If you want to single out Muslims as polygamous, sexist, child molesters and murderers, have a look at the Bible some day and read about some of characters Jews and Christians look up to. It is definitely a book unsuitable for children. And while we're on the topic of religious violence and sexism, you might also like to look at how women fare in Hindu India - especially in more conservative rural areas.

Yvonne,
From official Mormon website “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reiterates that it has no affiliation whatsoever with any polygamous groups, including the polygamous sect in Eldorado, Texas. The Church discontinued polygamy officially in 1890, but more than a century later some news and Internet reports fail to draw clear distinctions between the Church and practicing polygamous sects.” http://newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/commentary/clarifying-polygamy-confusion Unfortunately, not a single Islamic religious teacher dare to speak against the practice of polygamy. Scientifically polygamy is untenable because the birth gender ratio for male:female is 105:100, i.e. for every 100 baby girls that are born, there are 100 baby boys. However, it is difficult for the male Islamists to understand the implication of this fact because they hardly think above their waist Posted by Philip Tang, Sunday, 29 June 2008 1:33:17 AM

Polygamy is illegal in Australia. If some sections of society don't like it then leave. Australia will be better off without you.

Nature also has a rule, if you keep populating, eventually the
whole lot perish. You can't just keep adding more billions and
billions. If its not sustainable, eventually the crunch comes.
Personally I have no problem with the world's population
eventually turning light tan. So what?
There is nothing wrong with a potpourri of genetics, in fact
there are major advantages.
