No Islamic school

[claymore]

Here in Australia , the council and residents of a small country town south of Sydney have unanimously rejected an application to build an Islamic school. They are now being branded as racists by the Islamic community. How can this be racism , Islam is a religion not a race. I agree with them when they say that if the school is built they will eventually become a minority in their own town. You only have to go to the western suburbs of Sydney where if your not a Lebanese Muslim ....watch your back

Of course Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot were mere pups were they compared to Abraham?

I appreciate your decalaration of belief in the biblical though Beso, it takes courage to say you believe in the Bible on here.

Whether I personally believe in the Biblical stories or not is irrelvant. Billons of people accept them as a true record of history and irrefutable evidence of the Glory of God.

The Old Testament and the Koran both glorify the brutal conquest of those who do not believe in their dogma.

Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot shared this same belief and the religions based on their philosophies are just as offensive to moral sensibilities.

Octavius invariably avoids engaging in any debate of the rotten Biblical philosophy by pointing to others. The existence of tyrants outside the Bible in no way justifies the disgusting veneration of the murderous sociopaths in this hideous book.

We keep hearing of Christians being compared to Muslims and killing in the name of their religion. When did anyone last hear of a Christian kidnapping someone or strapping a bomb to themselves in the name of Jesus, or flying planes into occupied buildings etc etc etc. Thankfully Christians have moved on since the crusades and the spanish inquisition.
