I’m with Jayb <<it is you [Poirot] who have staunchly defended the rights of Islamists TO DO what ever killing of non-believers>> yeap!

I think if you went back through your defendants posts over the last few years you will see very clearly that she and a few of her confederates have consistently tried to shift the blame from Islamists to someone else ---anyone else. No matter what they did it wasn't their fault. They were provoked or misled by the West. So they could (effectively) keep on doing what they were doing. And, anyway, it was far less newsworthy than Abu Ghraid being rehashed for the twentieth time

But, now, because those Islamists have widen their field of operations your client and her confederates are ooh and aah -- but still pulling their punches--when your client and you stop PULLING i will start given you guys some credence ;)

Thanks, SPQR....I'll just file your blathering under the same heading as I do Jayb's.

Jayb says:

"it is you [Poirot] who have staunchly defended the rights of Islamists TO DO what ever killing of non-believers"

You back it up with:

"I think if you went back through your defendants posts over the last few years you will see very clearly that she and a few of her confederates have consistently tried to shift the blame from Islamists to someone else ---anyone else."

Which is a vastly watered-down version of Jayb's accusation -and yet you appear to be using it to give credence to Jayb's untruth...the one that he has skipped away without providing evidence for.

Where have I ever defended atrocities committed by fundamentalists?

That's the accusation from Jayb.

I stand by my comments regarding stupid interventions in the middle-east by the West - that doesn't mean I support atrocities committed in the name of Islam.

And the reason this atrocity has gained more momentum is that it targeted the very foundations of free expression - symbolised by the pencils of the cartoonists.

Dear SPQR,

Do you have anything of substance to contribute
to the topic of this discussion. If so, please feel free
to do so. Your thoughts on the actual topic would be appreciated.

Foxy, spoken just like a mullah :)
You might have to read it a couple times before you get the full meaning ;)

Have great day

Poirot,

I am glad that we are on the same page, Do you also feel that Section 18c is a serious infringement on freedom of speech?

Dear SPQR,

Well, I guess the bottom line is -
there's not much substance to you at all.

I was seriously expecting your thoughts on the topic
of this discussion - its sad, that the only thing
you seem capable of doing is trying to insult someone.
Actually, you give me too much credit by referring to me
as a religious scholar.
I'm not. But Thank You.
