That's okay, here's £3,000 for offending you.

Rockrose, // Some people are just not happy unless they are slating Muslims.//

As a fan of Islam and its adherents, what do you so admire?

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - // andy-hughes, wearing shorts you would be ejected from many religious buildings - including St Peter's in Rome and most mosques. //

When I visit religious buildings, I am more than capable of checking out the required dress codes in advance.

When I want unsolicited advice from a 'religious expert', I promise you are first on my list.

[naomi24]

//When I visit religious buildings, I am more than capable of checking out the required dress codes in advance. //

But you don't.... clearly. ;o)

[Rockrose]

//As a fan of Islam and its adherents, what do you so admire? //
What The Funicular I never said I was but I refuse to tar everyone with the same brush!

[naomi24]

rockrose, just the impression I get. I've seen you defend it - often - but I've never seen you criticise it.

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - // //When I visit religious buildings, I am more than capable of checking out the required dress codes in advance. //

But you don't.... clearly. ;o) //

I refer you to my post at 13:17 - // We enquired in advance of our trip if there were any dress restrictions for men or ladies, and we were advised that for ladies, bare arms and legs are frowned on, but for gentlemen, there is no dress restriction.

We did attempt to dress in a manner respectful to the temple, but it seems we were given incorrect information. //

You really mustn’t let your desire to have a sarky dig prevent you from reading posts properly, and then having to be corrected.

[naomi24]

Yes, I did read that - and you did attempt to dress respectfully. Right ......

[andy-hughes]

Rockrose - // //As a fan of Islam and its adherents, what do you so admire? //

You have to learn on here that because some people are so paranoid about the 'Muslim takeover', they will see any perceived 'defence' as tacit support.

I am exactly the same of you, not a particular fan of Islam per se, but unwilling to let the relentless nasty sniping that goes on here day after day, pass unchallenged.

I understand the difference between being a 'Muslim fan' and someone who simply can't abide endless grinding negative attacks on the faith day after day, because it is unfair and unjustified.

[andy-hughes]

naomi - //Yes, I did read that - and you did attempt to dress respectfully. Right ...... //

This is getting tedious now - I have explained that I made every attempt not to offend, and did so inadvertently, you have given me your usual school ma'm lecture, let's let it drop shall we.

[ummmm]

I don't think Rock is a fan of Islam at all but if we all listened to you Naomi we'd be under the belief that every Muslim wants to kill us. Simply not true.

[naomi24]

umjmmm, //if we all listened to you Naomi we'd be under the belief that every Muslim wants to kill us. //

In that case you'd be delusional. It's not something I've ever said - or thought.

[andy-hughes]

ummmm - // I don't think Rock is a fan of Islam at all but if we all listened to you Naomi we'd be under the belief that every Muslim wants to kill us. Simply not true. //

Absolutely!!!!!!!

[naomi24]

^More delusion.

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - // umjmmm, //if we all listened to you Naomi we'd be under the belief that every Muslim wants to kill us. //

In that case you'd be delusional. It's not something I've ever said - or thought. //

As you said to rockrose -

// just the impression I get. I've seen you defend it - often - but I've never seen you criticise it. //

I've seen you attack it - every perishing day - but I've never seen you defend it.

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - Why is anyone who disagrees with you, or points out your own flawed statements, has to be 'delusional'?

I think the delusion likes with your constant hand-wringing harping on about the 'Muslim apocalypse', but you are entitled to your view, and not to be insulted for it.

So are we.

Rockrose, // Some people are just not happy unless they are slating Muslims.//
I wonder how that could possibly have come about! PMSL!

[andy-hughes]

TTT - // Rockrose, // Some people are just not happy unless they are slating Muslims.//
I wonder how that could possibly have come about! PMSL! //

Because some people simply lead nasty insecure paranoid narrow-minded bigoted hateful little lives?

[naomi24]

andy-hughes, Islam is rather difficult to defend to say the least – but if you’ve never seen me defend a Muslim you’ve not been looking.

//Why is anyone who disagrees with you, or points out your own flawed statements, has to be 'delusional'?//

Neither ummmm nor you are referring to any perceived ‘flawed’ statements – simply to something produced in your own imaginations that I’ve neither said nor thought. I don't know what you'd call that but I'd call it delusional - and as you say I'm entitled to my view.

[Khandro]

ummmm - // I don't think Rock is a fan of Islam at all but if we all listened to you Naomi we'd be under the belief that every Muslim wants to kill us. Simply not true. //

naomi has never said that, but the fact remains that all Muslims, by definition, unswervingly adhere to a book which tells them to either do so, or enslave us.

[ummmm]

TTT needs to have his bladder checked.
