Foxy,
I majored in Religious Studies at Uni, I studied Islam for three years, my best friend in India is a Muslim and I have commanded Muslim troops and when in India I see and associate with a lot of Muslim people. My wife’s best friend is a Muslim (a follower of the Aga Khan) . We eat almost exclusively at Muslim eateries because they cook beef and mutton and goat. I am adept at eating with my left hand across my body so that it doesn’t touch food. I think that I have an understanding of Islam and I agree with my Muslim best mate that the Australian Government were idiots for inviting Muslims into this country and he really knows his own people.

Hey Foxy,
"The Uighur people in Xinjiang." You're a victim of western propaganda on that one. US Coerces UN Human Rights Chief Following Xinjiang China Visit http://youtu.be/vtA_dKjb4F0 Posted by Armchair Critic, Monday, 13 June 2022 11:31:39 PM

"Genocide according to definitions found on the web - is an internationally recognized crime where acts are committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group." Answer- Yes that sounds like the definition of genocide I'm aware of. I believe that forcing SSM and gay politics on Christian Churches is a form of genocide Posted by Canem Malum, Tuesday, 14 June 2022 12:15:53 AM

Foxy,
Strangely tolerance seems to be more a feature of conservatives than so call progressives. The treatment of Israel Folau is a prime example. Posted by shadowminister, Tuesday, 14 June 2022 10:20:18 AM

Hey shadowminister,
I might add that without any doubt, conservatives support free speech but progressives think no other speech should be permitted except theirs. Historically it's been the progressives that are intolerant, the ones who move to ban speech they don't like with cancel culture, however after Novak Djokovic was deported because of his vaccine stance, and the Australian government argued that allowing him to stay in the country would embolden those with anti-vaccine sentiments, I have to say the right's become just as bad.

I don't think any of us are really fully
qualified to discuss Islam in any great depth.
None of us are experts on that subject.
As for genocide?
Genocide according to definitions found on the web -
is an internationally recognized crime where acts are
committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in
part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.
It's understood by most to be the greatest crime against
humanity.
Some of the genocides include:
The Soviet-man made famine of Ukraine (1932-33)
The Nazis tried to eradicate the Jewish population - 1940s
Rwanda where an estimated 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus
died in 1994.
Bosnia - the 1995 massacre at Srebrenica.
Indonesian invasion of East Timor (1975).
The Khmer Rouge killings in Cambodia (1970s).
The Rohingya people fleeing Myanmar.
The Uighur people in Xinjiang.
And the lists continue including the murders committed by Stalin
in the Soviet occupied countries.
