Oooooh.. i forgot. I never said I agreed to their believes.. I never said their religion was right. I said I respected it. Merely because it is their choice/or no choice, to practice it. Because that was all they were thought to believe. They didn't have the chance to be educated otherwise.

Dear Poirot... constructive there :) but some curious aspects.

1/ The Colbert/Steward Rally was not quite as big as Becks.(but still big) though that doesn't matter much. What DOES matter heaps though is that in a rally to 'restore sanity' they invite Yusuf Islam as a participant! ! ! The man who called for the horrific death of Salman Rushdie on more than one occasion. That's sanity? :) I don't think so.
2/ Group mentality? yep.. quite true.

Pericles old son...please tell me something. Do you really.. and truly regard Nick Lowles as a credible source for information about anything? I get regular emails from him and I just roll my eyes and nearly about choke. (I gave up checking his stuff ages ago when it turned out to be mostly spin) He reminds me of Goebbels, Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf (Iraqi Info minister pre victory) and Squeers all mixed into one.

Dear Jinny do you respect a person who considers you like a dog?
Seriously.. if another person thinks they are far superior to you, and that their religion will 'dominate all other religions'(by force)....is this something you can respect ?

Al: What is your suggestion to a solution? degrade them? disrespect them? Treat them like animals instead of humans? What's the point of trying to fight something that you can't change?

It is not just in religion, it is in power and control, job status, etc.. religion is just one reason to judge. How about those who thinks their 'financially dependant' job makes them a more superior being?

If you can come up with a solution, I would be so grateful.

Here is a person that is doing something about trying to make a difference http://www.tawfikhamid.com/abcs-test-for-radical-islam/

Non-issue, Boaz.

It was a quote. From the Daily Mail, as it happens (that <chuckle> communist propaganda rag).

You can choose to accept it or you can choose not to accept it.

I'm getting a vague inkling that you don't find him convincing - would I be right?

Fair enough. But do tell, which part of this statement of his would you disagree with?

"While it is not a fascist organisation, there are a handful of organised fascists in key positions"

I'd say that the evidence is very much on Goebbels' side on this occasion, would you not agree?

As I said. Non-issue.

Sorry P... very busy right now.. got a job for 400 'things' I have to make by 'today'.... but only received the bits 'today'... crikey.

I'll get back to you. Lowles is a scumbag in my view.
