Islam.

[Atheist]

There is a lot of anti-muslim feeling here on AB, and also some anti-christian feeling. I'd be interested to hear from muslims who have thoughts on this.

[naomi24]

Having read through the thread since posting late last night, a word to the wise. Hot air and rose coloured glasses should not be taken seriously.

[andy-hughes]

Another word to the wise - superior obsession and rampant generalisation should not be taken seriously either.

"well I was going to stay out of this but: .........
....obviously flying planes full off passengers into buildings is what passes for courtesy and Tolerance under Islam."

" This is a very similar approach to theland when he disguises his religious sermons as a genuine science question. We play along at first but we know what's happening."

[LadyCG]

Courteous and tolerant?

Whilst 2,977 innocent people choked, burned or fell to their deaths Muslims took to the streets celebrating. 3,051 children lost a parent that day but that did nothing to subdue their delight.

Courteous and tolerant? Oh get real!

[naomi24]

Keyplus once advised me to try wearing a burka, assuring me that my husband would still love me. I think he expected me to be grateful for that. :o)

[naomi24]

SevenOP, Theland died recently.

LadyCG ~"Muslims took to the streets celebrating... Courteous and tolerant? Oh get real!"

Guilty one, guilty all, eh ?

[naomi24]

SevenOP, how do you sort the wheat from the chaff? The Manchester bomber did what he did because no one had the guts to question him for fear of being branded Islamophobic.

[Khandro]

Even the mildest of Muslims have a built-in prejudice against "us" (I use the term loosely) because we are infidels - non-believers in their version Allah or God (I also use that term loosely).
But everyone seems to have issues with some other group.
Like, why do the Hutus hate the Tutsis ?

[Khandro]

[naomi24]

Khandro, when people post inane stuff like that in response to a topic like this I despair, I really do.

[sevenOP]

"Mozz71
What anti Jewish feelings have been expressed in AB Roy? I must've missed that.

We await any examples, as we do with anti-christian feeling Atheist, then we can discuss them.

Lady CG - // Muslims took to the streets ... //

One hundred per cent? every Muslim man woman and child?

Only fifty per cent, just one in two?

Or the actual reality - a tiny minority who do not represent the faith and its teachings as a whole.

I think it is not I who needs to 'get real'.

Come on Khandro, naomi has standards, get a grip man!!!

[Khandro]

andy //Come on Khandro, naomi has standards, get a grip man!!!//

I think naomi must be the first person on the planet to consider Tom Lehrer's oeuvre to be "inane".
Her sense of humour (or lack of) makes me wonder if she has not recently converted to Islam :0)

[naomi24]

Khandro, you do your intellect no favours.

[andy-hughes]

// Khandro, you do your intellect no favours. //

First your sense of humour, now your intellect - you really have got on Miss's nerves today haven't you!!

[Mozz71]

SevenOP- //We await any examples, as we do with anti-christian feeling Atheist, then we can discuss them.//

I asked similar last night, I don't think it's forthcoming.

[naomi24]

AH, you’re wrong. Khandro doesn’t get on my nerves. It’s simply that when a man of his considerable intellect allows himself to be influenced in any way by anyone severely lacking in that area, he disappoints. That’s all.

// The Manchester bomber did what he did because no one had the guts to question him for fear of being branded Islamophobic.//
