Fact- you don't like me.
Fact -I don't like you.
Opinion-yours is that I ought to shut up if you tell me to.
Fact- I won't.
Opinion- yours is that I ought to care.
Fact- I couldn't- any less if I tried.
Fact- you'll have to deal with it ;-)

Good heavens! What a fuss!

Back to the subject.

Khandro, //I could of course sink to the level of trading links and give you one to the Austrian monster/father Josef Fritzl, ....//

What an odd thing to say! Since when was giving a link to a subject of conversation 'sinking' to a level? That said, it's a pity you refuse to read it - I can only imagine that's because it isn't the 'anecdote' you assumed it was and you are reluctant to confront reality in this discussion - but in comparing the monster who raped and killed his little daughter to Josef Fritzl you're missing the point entirely. if you gave me a link to Josef Fritzl it would confirm that the law condemned his crimes and dealt with them appropriately - unlike the crimes of the cleric in Saudi Arabia whose little daughter had her back broken and was brutalised in every way until she was dead. He was let off with a fine - so actually, Khandro, thank you for mentioning Josef Fritzl. Your analogy serves very well to illustrate the difference between western law and the appalling injustices within the law of Islam that I am trying to convey.
