Watched it coming. A poster took it beyond OLO then the jobbies hit the fan.

I suppose they had to be deleted. Don't know why my post was also deleted. I must have offended someone, somehow.

Anyone visited any Islamic forums?

The ones that I have looked at would never allow and certainly not tolerate the posting of the differing views that are posted on OLO.

That fact says a lot.

Good for you Cuchalainn (sorry about spelling) I can see you chose your freedom over the intense life of a muslim. I have just read a book called Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali her last name she changed so her family would not find her and punish her.... but alas they did.
I can see why the women want to get away from the chains of muslim life ,but the men seem to have one hell of a great life rapeing and murdering and haveing an ego the size of the earth, so to read that you ,a man walked away from this is admirable.
Spread the word ,there is a wonderful life out side Islam. Why stay?

Cuchulainn,

How kind of you to think of us and speak out for pale when clearly you are in fear of reprecussions for just about anything else. Sorry your post got taken down.
You are a kind soul. I have always found so in life that the one who is in the least position to help is the one who tries.

The one who can least afford to donate is the biggest giver.

Perhaps it is because we have to feel the pain ourselves to relate to what others may be experiencing.
I would like you to feel free to contact us anytime you are concerned about anything or just want to talk or any repercussions you may fear about speaking out.

What you described is pretty much normal in many places but I guess it’s hard for people to comprehend that this is the norm until they see and live it for themselves.

Buses with pictures of matters are normal and it’s expected as a duty to hate the west.
Your right about our laws being changed as this influence slowly flows through like a river at the change of the tide.

At each tide change at the mouth of the creek just a little of the old water flows back through. Remember as kids we would always swim in that part because we new some of the old would always creep through.
Some Muslim people In Australia do not want this extreme culture flowing into Australia like that suttle change art the mouth of the river.
We need to form a strong alliance with them to ensure we have the right leaders working together with Australia. I think you may be one those good people. Perhaps this was your calling.
Thank you for speaking out.

Dear Cuchalain...
I certainly commend your bravery in your initial coming out of Islam.. I do know what that can involve..and you graciously shared some of your life with us.

I wonder if you notice the interaction between myself and Pericles ?

It seems you are confirming everything I say, though from an atheist perspective.. so I find it quite astonishing that Pericles would persistently rebuff my attempts to persuade him of what has clearly been your own personal life experience.

You said:
[I already see the same signs of which I was familiar 16 years ago. I posted here on OLO when I saw the subject as I want this country to wake up.]

As for me, I try to show the theological rationale in the Muslim mindset which drives this agenda, and Pericles just dismisses it as 'gibberish' because it is from "Holy Texts" which Pericles does not recognize.

PERICLES.. sometimes ur a prize dill.. the issue is not what YOU believe about other's holy texts, but what THEY believe...

If 'they' believe they should embark on a course of action based on their own holy texts, you should have the genuineness to actually try to fathom 'what' they are basing there views on.... (yes..that is indeed a mild rebuke :)

Chucha.. you have discovered the freedom of the West.. my prayer is that you will at some stage go to the next level of finding true freedom in Christ. You present spiritual situation is quite understandable, so I hope you will continue to provide us with insights such as only you can give.
Cheers

I remain disgusted that an entire community is condemned. Further, I am utterly sickened that one who has lived within the Islamic community seeks to condemn that entire community.

I, like most of you condemn FGM; it is vile. I condemn fundamentalism in ANY belief system. It is obsessive, vindictive and it is cruel.

To that end, it appalls me that those who embrace a principle of decent behaviour; 'goodwill to all men'; show such a lack of goodwill to their fellow human beings unless they embrace the 'one true God'. The epitome of hypocrisy!

It is a disgrace that those who are concerned for the welfare and decent treatment of animals have no problem at all in condemning (or support those who condemn);- the human animals who just happen to be part of a general community that is currently being vilified in its entirety.

You condemn every single man woman and child of this faith. That is outrageous! It is obscene when it comes from one who should know better, that only a small sector of this faith (yes; I did mean a SMALL sector); are bent on destruction. The rest have to wear the consequences.

Has it never occurred to any of you who chant this incessant intolerant mantra that those of the general Islam community who are repeatedly targeted for hate and intolerance; WILL become bitter and marginalized, and ARE likely then to support those who fight the so-called infidel?

That then gives you further grist for your intolerant mill. Where will it end?

I feel heartfelt gratitude that there are members on OLO who continue to speak out against those of you who preach this fear mongering nonsense.

I will continue to do so......., and as you can all see I am able to do so..

The tenet of these last two posts come as no surprise to me.

I take it then that my post will come as no surprise to you?
