Rashomon says

I'll be waiting.

I add links after commenting, so you won't have long to wait. Meanwhile, you can answer the questions, since you know:
1) can you say that Islam is a hateful fraud perpetrated by a dead charlatan, which it is?
2) are you paying Jizya, and/or named Rashid?

Bonus question: when you say you've been working for them 20 years, yet you appear to spend all your time online defending Islam and criticizing the west, is that what they're paying you to do?

Strategist says

I have never met a single Muslim who would admit a 56 year old man having sex with a 9 year old child is immoral. I bet neither have you.

Probably because it wasn't that unusual to marry a child in pretty much any country around the world in the 6th/7th Century. I don't know anybody who wouldn't say it was immoral if it happened now.

Rashomon says

Strategist says

And I bet all the good Muslims you know do nothing to stop the bad Muslims.

Who do you think is doing most of the fighting against ISIS in Iraq and Syria?

And against the innocent Sunnis, the innocent Shites, and innocent Yazidis, and innocent infidels. It's always the Muslims, isn't it?

1. I'm an atheist, so I have a similar outlook about all religions.
2. No

I've just woken up and am filling time before going to work. I spend far less time on here than many others who post on here (247 posts under the new system...), though I probably have more free time than most, so no is the answer.

Next questions.

Rashomon says

Yeah, except I've lived and worked in the Middle East for getting on for 20 years and have dealt with a whole range of people as you would. I haven't had any (religious based) issue with any of them.

You largely work with the top rungs of those countries. Most of whom would be highly secularized or westernized And not with pickpockets from Marakech or goat rustlers from the Atlas Mountains. I always remind college students they're not meeting Muhammid Malaysia or Tony Tanzania. They're meeting the top 5% of those countries, who generally have a globalist, Westernized, Secular and elite outlook and DO NOT represent the majority of their nation.

Pakis weren't a problem in the 60s/70s because there were two few to ghettoize and most had a multi-generational relationship with the West and Britain, and British-inspired education before they ever arrived in Britain.

Many of the Pakis who arrived starting in the 80s did not have such a relationship. And indeed, encountering clean British Streets and Women in Mini Skirts made them defensive and the crap in their own country. Like the Arabs began postulating in the 1000s, "They musta been robbed by the (Crusaders, Turks, Mongols) Only recommitment to Islam will work." This is a recurring theme in Islam (nor unique to it) and is not new.

What do they say about UK expats "More British than the British". Many Muslims become MORE fervent when they live in the West because their identity is threatened or challenged.

You know what Rashid/Rashomon/Bigsby, your comebacks are pretty powerful. I have to give you that. But defending a barbaric religion like Islam will only lead you to humiliation and defeat.

WaPoIsHitler Lipsovitch says

of several reasons including the British dole subsidizing polygamous families, so the polygamous are over-represented in the younger generations. While secular families barely maintain replacement rate, the British dole breeds jihadis as fast as possible, and the numbers show up in opinion polls. While most people are becoming more tolerant, Muslims are becoming generationally more intolerant, as per Islam.

I would like anyone to show me a practicing Mullah to come out and say a 56 year old man having sex with a 9 year old child is immoral.
I don't believe it's possible.

Here's the Mystery.

There are an open and blatant websites, Secondwife and Polygamy.com.
Polygamy is illegal in Britain and White Britons are punished for it, even for technicalities (I believe one Scotsman got separated decade ago as young man, remarried without finalizing divorce, and got the book thrown at him).
It is a no brainer for Scotland Yard to get a warrant for Credit Card Numbers/Names and check it against Welfare Rolls and anywhere else Married information would show.
And, with just a little bit of paperwork, charge 100s of people effortlessly.

Why is there one law for White Britons, while Pakistani Polygamy is totally ignored?

How can Men with multiple wives allow their additional wives to draw welfare as if single, when they all live under one roof and share everything?

Not only is it not "One Law For All", it's subsidizing polygamy for SOME, as you say.

curious2 says

You've posted more comments in less than one year than I've posted in five years.

I did ask, but you didn't answer.

I did answer. And I have plenty of free time, so I post on here. And I post far less than many - just under 1200 comments since August. You've posted nearly 7000 since 2012, so I don't really get your point. I post more than you less than others. Big deal.

Anyway, I have to go to work.

And on that note, why is it:

Africa for the Africans
Asia for the Asians

Anti-Colonialism/Imperialism, YAY!

but

Europe for the Europeans is evil and racist?

I've corrected my earlier comment. I yield to facts, but never to fraud. You seem to do precisely the opposite: you persist in defending the hateful fraud of the dead charlatan Mohamed, no matter how many facts prove that it is a hateful fraud.

It's a stupid question. Asked many people you know what they think of King X marrying a child bride from Spain in the 1300s recently? See my point?

Since you left to go to work 45 minutes ago, and are now commenting, it looks like this is your work. Nobody pays me to comment, but you seem to have that sorted, so maybe you can hook me up with your agent. One restriction: I won't defend a hateful fraud that commands believers to murder disbelievers.

You're getting tedious. What I am saying is clear. It's obviously wrong by today's standards. Do you want me to climb into a time machine and go back and explain to people in the 7th/8th/9th... Century why their actions are wrong because of what we now believe in the 21st Century?

Ok, I have to admit, I was a little surprised to see the word "Asian" in your header. I now know the difference between British Asian and what we consider Asian here in the U.S., but it still is disconcerting that Americans will see this headline and assume some Chinese person went over and bombed UK parliament. It is interesting (and inaccurate) that to avoid writing "Islamic" or "Muslim" the British press will use "Asian" instead.

http://www.dailywire.com/news/14688/british-parliament-terror-attack-underscores-ben-shapiro

"British Parliament Terror Attack Underscores The Stupidity of British Media's ‘Asian’ Descriptions

Media reports from the British press in the aftermath of Wednesday’s truck and knife attack on Parliament, resulting in the death of at least three people and “catastrophic” injuries to more than a dozen more, have focused in on the identity of the perpetrator in vague terms. We know, according to The Telegraph (UK) that the attacker was described by witnesses as an “Asian guy in about his 40s carrying a knife about seven or eight inches long.” The Daily Star (UK) calls the suspect a “black or Asian man who was spotted running with an eight-inch knife.” The Daily Mirror (UK) called him “reportedly Asian in appearance.”

In America, Asian has a different connotation than it does in the British press. It generally means people of Pakistani or Indian descent, not people from Southeast Asia, as it does in the United States. It’s also often a cover for Islamic background – the press will generally avoid talking about the religion of a suspect in favor of focusing in on ethnicity, and they’ll broaden out the ethnic label to include people who aren’t Pakistani in order to avoid the impression that the Pakistani perpetrator might be a Muslim.

...And using the overbroad ethnic descriptor “Asian” – pretending that Indians and Pakistanis are part of the same ethnic group for purposes of avoiding ideological conclusion-jumping – is purposeful obfuscation of accuracy. Perhaps this terrorist isn’t Muslim. That’s perfectly possible. But it’s not fine to give the public misleading information on the grounds that they may jump to conclusions suggested by probabilistic thinking, and lump in innocents in the process."

I changed because I took a break and couldn't remember my log on details - I'd created an email solely for this place and hadn't saved the details.
I keep coming back for some inexplicable reason. Masochism no doubt. I don't like the views frequently expressed on here by many. It's become populated by a number of people spouting pretty hateful racist/sexist/younameit views along with CIC's nonsense of course. We should all probably find something more productive to do with our time because posting on this/any forum is clearly a waste of it.

Actually, all I'm doing is defending their rights in general if they are behaving in a law abiding way - since when should we legislate on dress code, for example, - how many of you would be up in arms on here if a similar type of measure was brought against non-Muslims in your country? You are just cherry picking your attacks.

Saudi Arabia legislates dress code. And every fucking aspect of life.

Rashomon says

Yet you defend censorship and dress codes when Muslims impose them. The censorship and dress codes are expressly Islamic, and against non-Muslims, yet you defend them.

Also, your claims to be defending people whom you call nice (or whatever) seem disingenuous. For example, if you know some smokers, you could say, "Smoking is horrible, no one should smoke, and the executives who deceived people about it should be in prison, but I know some nice people who got hooked on it when they were kids and I feel sorry for them." If you know some Oxycontin addicts, you could say, "Oxycontin is a corporate fraud with a body count, the executives who were caught and convicted of fraud should be in prison, but I know some people who got hooked on that junk when they were kids, and they seem like nice people." You claim to know a lot of Muslims, so you could say, "Islam is a hateful fraud perpetrated by a dead charlatan, no one should believe that garbage, but I know some people who were fooled into believing it when they were young and susceptible, and they seem nice (so far)." Yet, you say none of those things.

Like the Saudis and the NATO politicians & media paid by them, you insist on spreading Islam itself, using the victims as vessels to spread it. That's like saying you want to spread smokers and addicts to more countries, and subsidize smoking, because you feel sorry for the smokers and addicts who seem nice. It's obviously absurd and thus appears disingenuous. If you care about the hapless Muslims, then help them get out from under Islam. Instead of defending Islamic censorship and dress codes, demand secularism in the countries where they live.

Where have I done that? I don't recall ever defending those things. I accept the restrictions here because it is my choice to work here. That's not the same as defending them, and isn't it the point that we praise the greater freedoms of the West, but then you have people like Strategist saying 'well SA does it, so...' Well, so what? You want to be more like SA? Apparently yes in Strategist's case.

No, I don't. I think it's reasonable that the West takes in a number of refugees from the Syrian crisis on a temporary basis because hey, that is the decent thing to do.

I think Muslims are hypocritical and have no right to complain. Just as Saudi Arabia bans all other religions from being practiced, I would gladly support banning Islam from being practiced in the US.
What good has Islam ever done for us?
