Dear Bazz,

I find your attitude towards Muslims as being
irrational and inflexible towards an entire
category of people. Your attitude is rooted in
generalisations and so ignores the differences
among individuals. Muslims do not all share the
same traits - contrary to what you believe.

In any case I have no further wish to discuss
this topic with you. That would be counter-productive.

I have no intention of
tarring all Muslims with the same brush and
blaming them all for the behaviour of fundamentalist
extremism.

Hi Foxy,

I find what Bazz is saying frighteningly similar to what another fellow in Europe was saying about another race of people in his country. A small minority that had lived peacefully for hundreds of years, all this in our parents and grandparents lifetime and after the invention of radio and aircraft.
More Australians have died (suicide) because of the actions of pedophile Catholic clergy that at the hands of Muslims. Has anyone seriously calling for a ban on Catholicism? No!

Big Nanna 2% of the population, the ideal number to target

"More Australians have died (suicide) because of the actions of pedophile Catholic clergy that at the hands of Muslims. Has anyone seriously calling for a ban on Catholicism? No!"

Is that a Green statistic, Paul?
As in did you just make it up?

Perhaps you could give a reference?

Paul Said;
A small minority that had lived peacefully for hundreds of years,

Can the same be said about the moslems in Europe ?
Aside from what has been happening in France, they invaded Hungary,
Rumania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, Austria, Croatia etc in modern times.
Do you call that living peacefully ?
Since the 7th century thay have had the intention expressed by Mohammad
to occupy and conquer Rome.
Rome in that context meant the Roman Empire & Europe and they
regularly restate that as their aim.
It is no secret, they are very pleased to announce it as their aim.

Foxy,

" Muslims do not all share the
same traits -"

Very true and I agree whole heartedly with that statement.

Many Muslims have black hair but those with red hair do not share the same trait, likewise noses, pigmentation, height, stoutness and baldness, just to name a few.

They do, however, by definition, share a belief in the same set of instructions from Allah; as recorded by Muhammad (PBWH).
These instructions are non-negotiable and those who seek to alter them or their meaning could face death, as some do at the moment.

Dear Is Mise,
