Boaz

You tell a big fib - you didn't reference Wiki for what makes an extremist, you finally took a long hard look at yourself in a very big mirror.

You do everything single one of those points on your list.

Perhaps you could add 'inability for self-reflection'

ROFL

I can't remember when I enjoyed a post so much - and that it came from the poison 'pen' of Boaz is nothing but perfect schadenfreud.

Thank you for making my day.

Indeed, Fractelle. You're certainly not alone in recognising our Boazy in his own list of 'extremist' characteristics. That he appears unaware of it is probably another characteristic that could indeed be added to the list.

Boazy: "My view of an 'extremist' would be one who comes to your door, berates you for not being 'them' and when you shut the door they jam their shoe in it so you can't."

Boazy, I think most people would regard as 'extremist' anybody who came to their door and "berated" them about religion full stop. The trouble with religious extremists like you is that you think that it's quite acceptable to "berate" people about issues with which you are obsessed.

I think Boazy is a good example of someone "running on spiritual 'ice' causing them to overstep the boundaries of acceptable behavior in their own faith". What do others think?

C J Mortgan,
OK. Although you don't deserve it, I will relent and reply to you just this once. Some time back I came to the conclusion that you and Ginx were idiots who were doing a poor job of trying to be smart arses. So I decided not to respond. But I suppose I should give you a mark or two for being persistant.

If you want to know if dog meat and dolphin are consumed by humans in some countries and if each is legally available here , you can research that yourself. Try horse meat also, it is consumed by humans in some countries but I haven't yet noticed it, or dog meat and dolphin at Colesworths.

The same applies to FGM. If you think it is not carried out here at all, do your research. Funny thing, Governments carry out raids and prosecutions of some ethnic groups about holding cock fights, yet not one prosecution relative to FGM. I conclude that the butchering, torture and cutting flesh from Australian girls does not rate very high on government priorities.

Oh, and if you consider that holding objections to FGM being carried out here is xenophobic, then you are more idiotic than I thought.

Only fools argue with idiots.

OK Banjo - I won't argue with you then :)

So it was a generalised xenophobic rant for which you can't provide any actual evidence beyond generalised stereotypes. I thought as much.

For the record, I don't condone the practice of female genital mutilation in Australia or anywhere else. I'd just rather it was discussed factually, rather than utilised as an obviously extreme stick with which to beat all Muslims.

Also, while I've no doubt that some immigrants may have come from societies where dog or dolphin were part of their diets, I'd be very surprised if any of them are Muslims - which, you may recall, is the topic of the thread.

Should Our Slow Greyhounds Become Asia’s Fast Food?

Australia is the main player in creating, promoting and encouraging greyhound racing in Asia. Countries such as Korea, China, Vietnam and Macau. It is of great concern that Australia is exporting greyhounds to these countries.
There are no provisions made for these dogs when they finish racing in Asia and no chance of re homing. Countries such as Korea and China are notorious for their barbaric illegal thriving trade in dog meat for human consumption.
These dogs are killed in the cruellest possible ways as many Koreans believe that the rush of adrenalin through the dogs’ body as it dies in agony will increase human virility.
Millions of dogs each year are electrocuted, strangled, skinned alive or bludgeoned to death in Korea.
This is the fate of some Australian greyhounds. Others have been found terrorised and wandering the streets starving in South Korea. Dogs that started their lives in Australia, and were betrayed by individuals involved in the racing industry because they were not quite fast enough for our tracks.

Er, PALE&IF - and what exactly does any of that have to do with the subject of moderate Muslims?
