Periculitis,

Well you certainly are a devious little itis aren’t you!
You have no coherent answer to all the arguments which I provide links to and then
when I relate a personal story and qualify it by admitting that I cannot prove it,
you say “Look! He admits he has no credibility.”

Back to the topic:

"The mosques are our barracks,
the domes our helmets,
the minarets our bayonets
and the faithful our soldiers..."
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/2270642.stm

These are the spoken words of the man who is now Turkish Prime Minister.
But, hey, that was 12 years ago,
BEFORE he was seeking Turkey’s admission into the EU.
Let’s be reasonable,
he wouldn’t be stupid enough to say that now!
There is an Islamic term for it: Taqiyyah
(or dissimulation permitted in the cause of advancing Islam).

The Swiss should not limit their ban to minarets,
but extend it to include the mosques and the domes,
but especially “the faithful”,
as should all of Europe before it’s too late.
Australia should also take note.

bushbasher,

Surely this discussion talks of what is happening in Europe and its relevance to Australia.
(I suggest you read the initial discussion point)
I know it’s convenient for you now to dismiss the European experience but that’s what this thread is about.
BTW,
Is the moniker related to your apparent propensity for bashing your bush,
as demonstrated by your posts?
How very apt.

>> I suggest you read the initial discussion point

i suggest you read the post by pericles to which you were pretending to respond. or, would that take too much time away from flinging feces?

HermanYutic and others are fond of quoting the Turkish Prime Minister. How about these shocking, aggressive lyrics:

Onward, Muslim soldiers, marching as to war,
with the crescent of Allah going on before.
Allah, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
forward into battle see his banners go!

Disgraceful, wouldn't you say? The only problem is: these are the words of "Onward Christian Soldiers" the anthem of the Salvation Army. I have changed them slightly, the original goes:

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
forward into battle see his banners go!

Should we ban the Salvation Army?

Thanks bushbasher.

>>i suggest you read the post by pericles to which you were pretending to respond. or, would that take too much time away from flinging feces?<<

But the idea of HermanYutic actually reading anything here is too bizarre to contemplate. He's far too busy scouring the Internet for those isolated incidents that "prove" his point.

As with this:

>>You have no coherent answer to all the arguments which I provide links to<<

You don't link to "arguments", HermanYutic.

Merely to snippets of reporting that you blow up into evidence of a massive world-wide conspiracy against you and your religion.

There is a strong tendency in your "arguments" to generalize from the particular, which - as you well know - is a common trait amongst propagandists.

This is also worth examining:

>>I relate a personal story and qualify it by admitting that I cannot prove it, you say “Look! He admits he has no credibility.”<<

Actually, I said no such thing.

You must have inferred this from the sentence that I repeated back to you:

>>Clearly these stories become apocryphal to anyone else but myself.<<

An admission, indeed, that you allow yourself to repeat any old dross, unsupported, in favour of your petty pursuit of other religions.

But they are your words, HermanYutic. Not mine.

kyoko,
You are possibly unaware that the Salvation Army does not encourage its "soldiers" to:
fly airplanes into skyscrapers (that must be the Salvation Airforce you're thinking of),
behead people who refuse to put money into their tins,
call for the death of those who poke fun at them,
etc, etc.
I think the line "marching AS TO war" gives an indication of the intent of the lyrics.
I guess the above comments are enough to make me a
paid-up member of the Salvation Army,
according to the resident crackpots.

Periculitis,
I'm sorry, I didn't read a thing that you said.
That would be too bizarre to contemplate.
