Stephen Fry Blasphemy Investigation

[ludwig]

I thought this was a joke article from one of those spoof news sites when I first saw it. There are lots of questions here but I'll go with 'Does anyone think he'll actually be charged with the offence?'

Pixie, andy-hughes didn't say that. Read his post at 10:48.

The fact is if only 1% of Muslims worldwide sympathise with terrorist actions, that equates to 15 million people - no insignificant number.

He said "a majority" which is what you have just proved.

Talbot - //What could his motives for pretending they never happened? //

I am not pretending anything - none of my posts suggest that I am.

Please don't make up my views and post them.

[naomi24]

Pixie, he said he doesn't believe that "any Muslim would be happy that people are killed in the name of their faith - unless they are extremists who are not acknowledged as true Muslims."

andy-hughes
Talbot - //Why do so many people around the world pretend to be a Muslim? //

Any examples?




Did
Hasib Hussain
Mohammad Sidique Khan
Germaine Lindsay
Shehzad Tanweer

Spend all their lives as Islamic extremists?
Were they Muslims or just pretending to be Muslims?

/// According to 'figures' - Jeremy Corbyn has the support of his party - you'll have to do better than
that. ///

Enough support from his party to be voted in as their leader, two times.

Well, that's true too, naomi.

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - //Pixie, he said he doesn't believe that "any Muslim would be happy that people are killed in the name of their faith - unless they are extremists who are not acknowledged as true Muslims." //

And any Muslim who is not an extremist is in the seriously large majority - which is entirely my point.

pixie; //re. "minority support"// This video has been put up several times but you may have missed it;

You've had long enough to construct your reply of linguistic gymnastics, andy.


How am I to accept your viewpoint if you are not willing to explain it?

[naomi24]

Pixie, // Well, that's true too, naomi. //

What's true? That he said it, or that he's right?
