Foxy,

I answered your last question to me, so how about you answer this:

Who else has a Holy Book that equals in ferocity the Qur'an of the Moslems?

Shew me one Islamic Scholar (they do not have clerics) who has dared to challenge the word of the Prophet.

Dear Is Mise,

I am not a theologian so I can't answer your question
about the "ferocity" of religious Holy Books. How many
people actually could do that. Most of us are not all
that familiar with our own.

As for "Criticism of Islam?"

If you were to Google that topic you would find quite a
few links on the web. Here is just one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Islam

Anti-Colonial: Refugees from both conflicts made their way to Australia only to receive a hostile reaction from large sections of Australian society.

I dispute that. Any hostility was minimal & mostly from the Left because they were fleeing from Communism & Socialism. Strange that. They were mostly Buddhists & Catholics.

Anti-Colonial: the last time I looked we have never been invaded by a Moslem country.

You haven't looked at the EU or the UK lately?

Foxy: Most of us are not all that familiar with our own.

Oh yes we are, & becoming more familiar with the koran too. It's a pity you don't make yourself familiar with the koran. There are a lot on here that have tried to educate you but you stick your head in the sand every time or deflect.

cont'd ...

Here's another link:

STEELEREDUX stated inter alia '...I've tried to give you a more measured response but if you feel more inclined to 'duke' it out, we can travel that path too...'. or similar. And, '...guys like BANJO want to do is to slag off about refugees...' As I've said, Banjo is entitled to his opinion, as much as you are yours. You know STEELEREDUX you're becoming much more pugnacious lately, I wonder why? And you know me 'mate' I love a good stink.

Perhaps we should invert the narrative somewhat, shall we? '...guys like STEELEREDUX want to do is support refugee immigration and Islam per se...'? You're alleging BANJO and his cohorts are more interested picking on the weak and vulnerable, while not raising a finger against the powerful.

Who are the most powerful, the USA the EU. How do you define the weak and vulnerable - would it be ordinary citizen out and about shopping. A split second later, a massive bomb functions, or similarly a large truck mercilessly runs down a group of innocent people. And none had a clue it was coming.

Earlier you said something to the effect, '...we're simply rehashing this same old topic...' I agree.

Perhaps you might cast your mind back, when we first debated this topic. Look at how the terrorist threat to this country has escalated. And the burgeoning growth of Deash has evolved since then. Sure they're having some successes defeating Deash in Syria.

But they'll never be able to eradicate their ideology, their fanaticism or deactivate radicalisation. They may lose the battle, militarily. They'll simple avail themselves to habitual terrorism with terrorists strategies and tactics. Striking into the very heart of the West, their cities, places of worship and education...you name it. They'll attack those places that'll hurt us most, with these insidious bombings calculated to kill hundreds of innocent souls.

STEELEREDUX it's 'Muslim' terrorists who are turning our world into a more dangerous place, even more so, than when we first started speaking about it, you must see that surely?

o sung wu,

You are too much of a gentleman to be locking horns with Steeleredux, who is a Lefty thug, not worth the effort.
