Belly,

I do not shout.

i have never insisted you shut up. Apparently if someone argues in opposition to your own views, you assume they want you to shut up.

Rant away - but I reserve the right to disagree.

and...

The "slur" is all yours, m'dear....thank you in fact, because that word describes exactly your intimation in that previous post.

The reason I'm still on about it was that it was a deliberate slur - a nebulous and deliberate attempt to slosh me with something of which I'm sure you know has no veracity.

Show me the post in question, Belly.

....................................................................

Lexi,

You are all style : )

Some here could take a few lessons in the art of "dignified response" from you.

Cheers

csteele,
Yes I under quoted him, he actually said female circumcission is the "divinely ordained right of a woman" under Islam.

Hell, this bloke is supposed to be against FGM, so what do the uneducated masses make of that? It is divine in Islam to cut a girls genetials, so the more we cut the more divine we, and she, will be.

One shudders to think what those supporting FGM tell muslims. No wonder muslims are confused. Some say it has nothing to do with Islam and now a cleric says it is a divine right in Islam.

So it is obvious that FGM is supported by Islam, dispite denials.

Consider yourself fortunate that I was able to find the link as i just saw it as another quote from a crazy muslim cleric and deleted it. You are doublely fortunate as I usually tell anyone that questions the accuracy of what I say, to do their own research. Must be the festive season.

By the way I am anxious to see the research relating to the rate of FGM in Aus, that you refered to. My info comes from many sourses but am always willing to learn more about FGM. I am one of the few that are concerned enough about the pain and suffering of little girls, to actaully presure governments to enforce the laws regarding FGM

csteele,
Did it occurr to you that this Islam cleric is putting Islam above our law?

He is giving his religous approval for others to break our law.

It is very difficult to combat an entrenched cultural practice and now this twit gives his religous approval.

Now that is ludicrous. No wonder FGM rates are increasing.

I have taken a breath.
Looked, after the charge csteele laid against me, back by poirot, at my posting style.
Am I promoting my own threads?
even I am not truly sure.
But what made me a well liked trade Unionist was my inability not to shout, to get indignant at twisters, of truth or the issues.
Funny, I have been considering my future here, because of the sheer inability of some on the right to think,debate, know truth from lies.
But my childhood friends, both in age and ability to think, the true left, are closest to getting rid of me.
I say very clearly, the wish to hide this subject under a blanket of past migration, forgets those past migrants, Aussie Greeks , all of them, in the same numbers as AUSTRALIANS, do not want a continuation of imported problems, of separatism inflicted on us by government and by MUSLIM MIGRANTS.
If not for this religion,its bad headed trouble makers, its insistence our streets look like an Arab town.
We would see much less huff and puff against economic refugees.
A warning above about the left, to some looks quite mad.
But know Labor ignores its Socialist platform, because Labor understands, only bad comes from extreme left, this country will never trust a true left party or one,closely linked, see Greens, with one.

Actually, Belly, having a couple of hours up my sleeve this avo, I had a bit of a trawl through the Islamic Riot thread.

It's a long thread, but towards the end I noted a mischievous post from SPQR - wholly tongue-in-cheek where he says:

"It helps if you know a little background on Poirot.

Poirot is a founding member of Wreck the Joint (a[sic] older and much badder version of "Destroying the Joint).
It's members believe they can wreck the joint (the joint being the West)...etc...."

A few posts later you chime in with:

"SPQR any info on csteele?"

I believe that earlier in the thread you were surmising as to the reason why I supported csteele as I do - and encouraging others to have a trawl of his posting history.

It sort of takes the gloss off debating on this forum if people start to suspect covert associations and planned attacks when all one is doing is agreeing with other posters.

It seems you took SPQR's fooling around for serious knowledge about Poirot.....I can't believe that on a forum like this, one inhabited by adults, that you can't tell the difference between someone "having a go" and...well, whatever.

This isn't bloody ASIO, this is OLO...but I'm convinced your outlook is often paranoid looking for undercover pollies and activists behind every post. Sorry to disappoint you, Belly, but most of us are fairly middle-of-the-road people wanting to put our two cents worth out there - nothing more, nothing less.

Just wanted to add that the reason I didn't "deny it" was because it was so obviously a send up...a joke....anyone else reading it would have realised that.

(And when you use upper case letters to form words online, you are shouting - you do it regularly, Belly)
