Boazy: << In a sense I'm a bit of a lame duck in my 'crusade' to rally the troops.. >>

You said it. I sincerely hope you maintain the intellectual quality of your perpetual crusade. Every post you make here helps to demonstrate the lunacy of Islamophobia.

We've already demonstrated here that Boazy hasn't actually brought anybody who will admit to it closer to Jesus - I'll bet that he's had a similar success rate with Islamophobia. Anybody who'd take his tripe seriously would have to be off the rails already.

Let's see - hands up everybody who wasn't already Islamophobic who has been alerted and alarmed by Boazy to the dastardly evils of Islam?

I tried to found what happened in America or Europe, including UK with the "call to prayer" and I found that we can not stop it!
There is a point "not messages into my private space" but then we must stop the Cristian bells too.
We accept or ban both of them.
The UK is full of Mosques and people used the "call to prayer".
According to a recent study conducted by the U.N., two-thirds of British citizenry claim no religious affiliation.

Ditch do not worry I am atheist too

I'd be very interested to see how things would develop in Sydney with their early morning yells up against the local objections.

There is usually some avenue for channelling one's objections in a powerful manner if the cause has sufficient support. For any cause, not just noise pollution.

"against the local objections"
The freedom for religious is protected by the international law, which is stronger from the state or federal law. The government or any other Australian body could block the "call to prayer" only if the Australian government inform the UN that Australia will not respect any more the human rights!
NO ONE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT COULD DO THAT. Some noisy people, may be press local councils or low level government authorities to block the "call to prayer" but finally the court will follows the law and it will give to Muslims their rights.
"local objections" can not create new law.
In worst case for Australia, local fanatics could create an other political organization on the right of the One Nation.
Already there are many small groups on the extreme right and one more or less can not make any differences.
The new anti-terrorist law is not only for Muslim extremist but for local extremists too!

I'm amazed that that is the case Antonius. And all in the name of religion and International Law. So the religious minority get their way over the non religious majority. It's absurd! The law is an ass.

There are 1.2 million Christians in Saudia Arabia, nearly a million of them Catholics. Most are migrant workers and are not allowed to practice their faith in public or wear signs of their faith.

this was in a news article this morning. Why do they make such a fuss when Camden didn't want that school. Any reason why Camden residents' attitudes should be viewed different to the Saudis' ?
