I have lived with and amongst Muslims, in Morocco, Afghanistan and India, where I stayed a whole monsoon in a Mujahadin safe house in Bombay, as well as sharing a house with Afghanis in Goa for two years. I am currently visiting Australia, and have two Muslims looking after by house and dogs in Bali.

There are 1.4 billion of them, and to tar them all with the same brush is childish and ludicrous. I have seen, and been shown, hospitality and kindness from Muslims, because of their religion, that you would never see from, say, Christians.

The bible has it's fair share of violence and nastiness, and still preaches that the only way to 'salvation' is their way. Jews claim to be God's chosen people, and act like it. All religions are crap, that doesn't mean religious people are.

OK, I should have worded that better and said Judaism instead of Jews, and I was referring to Israel when I said they act like it.

I am still waiting for confirmation. It means a lot...

If anyone has any doubts as to what happens to countries when they are
taken over by Moslems look at Egypt.
The Copts are largely representative of the indigenous people of Egypt.
That is they were the pyramid builders.
The Arabs invaded around 700 ad and have oppressed the Christian Copts ever since.

Along comes Billyd telling us "to tar them (Muslims) with the same brush is childish and ludicrous". But this same Billyd is comfortable making his own judgements on the obviously few members of "1.4 billion" diaspora he claims to know. He might not know any Muslims at all. He could be the footloose and feckless drifter he claims to be, or he might have lived his entire life in Brunswick. All religions are "crap"? Anyone making such an ignorant statement wouldn't know crap from clay, and they have the former in lieu of brains.

If you really do have a house being minded by Muslims in Bali, Billy boy, best slip back to check on the dogs; Muslims hate dogs more than they hate pigs.

Hahaha, the fool ttbn replies. Muslims don't all hate dogs, Muslims don't all pray five times a day, Muslims don't all abstain from pork and alcohol, it's obviously you who doesn't know any Muslims.

I see you're upset because I called your 'superior' religion crap; hit a nerve, did I?

I take it you're better than all the Muslims in the world? What about Jews, are you better than them? Hindus? Buddhists? Jedi?

It must feel good to be so superior.
