AArrrggghhh, get relative to the problem !
There is in our times no Christian terrorism.
The terrorism WE are facing is Islam.

Wake up, we ARE being invaded.

Just look at what is going on in Londonstan, Brussels, Amsterdam & Paris.
Do you deny that it is a blatant invasion by womb ?
They, the not quite moderate make no secret of it, they intend to
implement sharia law.
In parts of London they are enforcing sharia and are harassing women
for not "covering up".
Poirot, you are the most outspoken in defending the invaders, would you
be happy to submit to sharia law ?
Have you bought your burqua yet ? Is is black or blue ?
Oh by the way, saw a bit where one imman wants women to reveal only one eye !
It appears that seeing two eyes arouses him sexually. Hmmm.
This is what generations of cousin marriage does to you.

What concerns me is that ultimately we will be in a real battle in
Sydney with the armed forces of Allah. One thing I have realised
lately is that we will have the support of the Chinese community.
They have no desire to be under the rule of a dictatorship again.

Bazz,

"Poirot, you are the most outspoken in defending the invaders, would you

Lol!...this forum sure attracts some paranoid dingbats.

"...the most outspoken..."

Not by a long shot...unless you're referring to common humanity.

"Have you bought your burqa yet?" is the cry of the boneheaded bigot whenever he encounters a woman with a brain who disagrees with him.

It's such a laugh that the things you criticise for being at the heart of the problem with - insert whichever foreigner is getting up yer nose - are the very same sentiments "you" espouse.

It boils down to "fear and loathing" - and there's loads of it on this forum

But, carry on...it's fascinating.

The small child holding the decapitated head
of a Syrian soldier shocked the world.
Rightly so. Just as graphic photographs eminating
from other war-torn zones have equally done.

However, we have to be careful not to blame the
actions of brutal extreme minorities on the majority of
people within those groups - be they Muslim, Zionist,
or - Christian extremists, et cetera.

David Johnston, the Australian Minister of Defense,
warned that the actions of extremists should not
colour how the public feels about Islam as a whole.

"One of the things that I must stress here is an
extreme minority in Muslims (in Australia) and around
the world. The vast majority of Muslims are peace-loving
and peaceful people."

Just as the vast majority of Jews, and Christians are
peace-loving and peaceful people. Fundamentalists and
extremists exist in all religions and cultures as the
following two links show:

Of course there are moderate Muslims. Contrary to current popular belief/propaganda Muslim people are not all the same and do not all follow the same 'strain'. That's the reason why thousands more Muslims have died at the hand of other Muslims than have any other group.

SPQR, Runner, for example, would insist that his children marry somebody of his particular brand of Christianity too. Not just any Christian. The ones in my family for instance wouldn't do at all. That doesn't necessarily make the Runners physically dangerous for the wider community. Can't vouch what happens in their own homes. I'm sure there would be habits or norms that would horrify other non-Runner Australians.

OTB. Dutch is my first language. The link you posted is a complete fabrication creatively using a few facts. Read this http://georgeknightlang.wordpress.com/tag/soeren-kern/ It is in Dutch, unfortunately, not much about what happens in the Dutch community, from voluntary euthanasia to Immigration is translated into English. Generally speaking, though not always so, what is translated in English just doesn't get any traction in the Netherlands and another audience is sought.

You might be shocked to know that there are Dutch citizens who are Muslim in the Dutch parliament.

As Paul stated: all beliefs when followed without question by adherents is dangerous.

I have always considered the notion of fearing God in any religion to be the foundation of their violence towards others. "Godfearing" is a contradiction in terms, and is used to justify all manner of atrocities. Organised religion has a great deal to answer for.

Bazz, have you been in London, Brussels, Paris or Amsterdam lately? I and my family have. And I have many of my family living and working in some of those cities. Do not believe everything you hear from afar, especially when touted by persons with a message to sell.

My son and friend was set upon and injured by a group of young men, all as white as they are. In Australia. My daughter regularly gets accosted and invited to have a f--k when out alone with girl-friends by boys as white as she is in Brisbane. She didn't know how bad it was until she went on her gap year through the Netherlands and Asia and was struck by the difference-no harassment.

What does that tell us? White Aussie boys are bad? Of course not. We should start moving away from focusing so much on race and religion and more on behaviour. An assault is an assault and in Australia we have laws to deal with that.
