Scrutinising the religious and political right : Comments

By Alan Matheson, published 7/11/2008

Book burnings and banning extremist groups and individuals rarely solves the problems of racism, anti-Semitism or Islamophobia.

Bushbred, Bushbasher & Wobbles

Kactuz asked:
Now, please tell me where I can find Muslims that will condemn Islamic hate and violence. Show me Muslim websites that discuss and condemn 1300+ years of jihad against non-Muslims. Tell me where I can find serious Muslim discussions of the Quranic texts that mandate violence against infidels. Please give me some links to Muslim discussions of all those special privileges that Mohammad gave to himself in the Quran.

It sounds like a fair challenge to me!

Instead of hiding behind personal insults:
“i admire your gentle manner in response to these idiots”

Or taking a holier-than-thou stand:
“It seems, Kaktuz, that you do not understand…”
“There's only one sort of irrational generalised bigotry and hatred I can see on display…”

WHY NOT ANSWER THE CHALLENGE – PLAY THE BALL NOT THE MAN!

People also unite in adversity lets just hope the union is one of peace and goodwill and not driven to seeking human scapegoats.

If the only victim is the end of the excesses of Capitalism then that will be all for the better.

"Play the Ball and not the Man"

As an old sportsman, from me -

Good on you, Horus.

Further, also as one going on 88, reckon I've learnt a thing or two, the most interesting of course, has while still interested in our farming business, have gained Honours over in Sri-Lanka, in Third World Problems, as well as becoming a qualifed historian in general historical knowledge right back to Aristotle et al.

Also an American tutor has told me that my bush background has given me special insight that city people find hard to gather.

Finally, it is well to remember that the terrorism accompanying the colonialism that us whites have inflicted on non-white peoples, maybe could have us even taking the blame in certain situations better than sharing the blame.

Bushbred,

Re: “ it is well to remember that the terrorism accompanying the colonialism that us whites have inflicted on non-white peoples”

It is also worth remembering that colonialism and imperialism didn’t start and end with “us whites”

There are other sources of imperialism and colonialism equal to, or worse, than anything the West ever imposed.

" ... The Satanic verses DO indeed show him to be fallible... a normal human..and this has been my contention from day one. ... "

So *bOAZy* now that we have considered this in light of Islam, what about JC then?

Is it not written:
"I and my Father are 1."

And yet, when hanging wounded and bleeding on a cross,
"GoddO, why have u forsaken me?"

Clearly, if this is true, then as one person said to me:
"But I didn't know, .. I didn't know."

Does this not also point to a lack of omniscience? Mighty prophets indeed, but mortal men nonetheless I wld suggest.
..
And what do the Jews say about pregnancy out of wedlock back then?
Was it considered a heinous crime as it still is in some communities today, befitting in the view of some for stoning, banishment or something even more draconian?

What if like the Pagan mythologies and El GoddO took on an Avatar and got it on wih *Mary?* Unlikely she'd be interested in Joseph later on don't u think?

Mayhaps more ala Hindu and naughty *Joseph* & *Mary* became one in the Spirit of Love for one another, went Cosmic Orgasm (Kundalini) and that bi release of energy somehow gave a tweak at conception leading to a most excellent genetic combo. And mayhaps J & M as truly devoted and Loving parents gave yng JC the right environment for his genetic potential to be fully realised.

hi guys, what comes with religion is a belief in the soul.
I have some wonderful truths of this at my website please visit it !
Photographs tell us the real truth of ourselves, when I have taken photos at a wedding or a christening the real human spirit is expressed in its true form. visit www.actionmasterphoto.com.au to see some of these. My contemporay art also shows much of this as well.

All the best from Pete photographer manly Sydney Australia
