Dear CJ..

when are you going to approach issues rationally.

In my last post I think there were hmmm about 3 words capped for empHAsis...out of 300ish....

You have eyes (and I think...a brain-jury still out).. you know why caps are used.. headings or emphasis for an important point.

You could still redeem yourself from the corner by approaching one issue I raised.. and discussing the links in a mature and responsible manner as SOG did.

Until then.. you are unfortunately relegated into the 'timeout' area :)

It is interesting that Australia is allowing Yusuf Islam to enter Australia to engage in Da'wah, which is Islamic proselytising.
There are several ironies in this.
The first:
According to Yusuf Islam, and Islamic law, Salman Rushdie should be put to death for criticising Islam.
Yet Yusuf Islam is given the freedom of speech to make this demand.
The second:
Yusuf Islam is here to make Da'wah and he is free to do so.
Yet under Islamic law, the penalty for proselytising any religion but Islam is death.

Connecting the two:
Muslims are free to call for the death of those who criticise Islam.
Muslims are also free to proselytise an ideology which calls for the death of those who criticise Islam
and which also calls for the death of those who proselytise a religion other than Islam.

Isn't freedom of speech wonderful when it can accommodate such apparent contradictions?

How long before Australia is operating under freedom of speech, Islamic style.

Awww Proxy.. you are being much too harsh on this 'religion of peace'.

Pointing out numerous shortcomings, calls to war, to kill etc. are far outweighed by the 1 or 2 'nice' verses :)
