Plenty is the word. A gutful, actually.
No matter where one looks nowadays, it is a daily dose of emboldened Mohammedans demanding respect or accommodation for their peculiar or primitive customs, with the undercurrent of violence never far.
Female medical students can't wash their hands properly, language teacher's aid must wear face mask in class, hairdresser must wear complete haircover, muslim cleric denouncing women with BOTH eyes showing!! There is a new insanity every day, often more than one.  

And that's just what you hear in Western countries.

Well, that's just it. You have to look really hard with anyone else. The absurdities and attempts to re-primitivise in the namee of Islam, on the other hand, are in your face daily, no matter where you look.

Abu what do you think about that UK cleric? Why is he so highly regarded that he has been made a cleric?

Freediver,
Could you please show me any quotes in that article where the Sheikh apparently said these things?
Oh...right, there aren't any quotes..nothing but a statement that 'so and so' said 'this and that'...yet no substance, nothing to actually substantiate what the Shiekh said.
This is the classic example of a media reports which has nothing but hot air and sensationist journalism...which often only the ignorant and bigotted will fall for.






Lestat,

A different UK cleric, a similar message.....

Listen to the words from the lips of a UK muslim cleric, Anjem Choudary.

On Youtube - an interview on UK TV,
Anjem Choudary talks of the London 7/7 bombing victims,

"...when we say innocent people, we mean muslims."
"....[not accepting ISLAM] is a crime against God."
"...If you are a non-muslim, then you are guilty of not believing in God."
"...as a muslim....i must have *hatred* towards everything which is non-ISLAM."
"...[muslims] allegence is always with the muslims, so i will never condemn a muslim for what he does."
"...Britain has always been Dar al Harb [the Land of War]"

No point moving it to islam, it will get deleted or locked.

It's not really a 'guise' is it Soren? They don't pretend to differentiate the two.




Well, I think there is a lot deliberate slippinmg and sliding and tapdancing.

Criticising Mohammed and the Koran - this is forbidden on excplicitly religious grounds. And if it was left at that we would have no conflict.

Islamist Mohammedans' political aims - Ah! Snag! Criticism of the very central political elements of Islam, Mohaammed's role as a political leader and model are also ruled beyond the pale because of - religious sensibilities.

This is why I think it is a guise, rather than an honest open presentation.

Chaucer's words: "the smyler with the knyf under the cloke" can be adapted to the age as "The smyler with the knyf within the boke."

The title clearly shows the thread is about Islam, so it's not like anyone actually forced you to read it, you made the choice to enter the thread. There's a lot of threads I'm not particularly interested in, I'll teach you a little trick, when your mouse pointer is hovering over them, and you're about  to click it... don't. Keep moving your mouse until it hovers over a thread you *do* want to read, it works a treat.

Besides you should be addressing sprintcyclist, he's engrossed in some futile campaign to force all forummers to discuss Islamic topics, outside of the Islamic forum, so they won't get deleted, banned, censored or fatwas declared against them. So far he's only got jordan subscribing to his master plan, but he keeps making these threads, to let others know about his ploy.

One of the rules of thee riot act for the islam board is this:
Insulting or inflammatory remarks about any religions, religious books or religious figures are not acceptable.

Perhaps it should be amended to say something likee thiss isntead:

Insulting or inflammatory remarks about any religions, religious books or religious figures are not acceptable as long as no political claims have been made on behalf of a religion or on the authority of religious figures.

It is unfair that political claims can be made from behind religions and responses criticising or attacking the political points are ruled out because they tear at religious cloak shielding the political remark.

Ater all, the whole webssite is called ozpolitic. In political debate only the customary rules of defamation should hold sway. There is no ground for religious privilage in political debate.

You're more than welcome and quite free to critique the Islamic political system in the Islamic forum, if you'd like. If you're just going to use it as a cover for making insults and insulting remarks about Islam itself though (or any other religion) then don't bother with the charade.

Of course.

Most of your stuff you post here does not violate the Islamic forum rules soren, and as stated, you're quite welcome to discuss political issues there, even if it means criticising or questioning the Islamic political system.

These certainly seem to be a contradiction to my mind. Gaybriel do you want to have a go at clearing this up?

But thats just it...it didn't illustrate your point at all.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on that.

Quote:
Yes it does....your post clearly highlighted the 'apparent' threat of muslims enforcing their beliefs onto others. In this example, those making the decisions were non-muslims, not muslims.

The result is the same, the effect on the non-muslims is the same and in fact it's a little scarier that by simply being present in a location forces non-muslims to make decisions for you. I don't see any muslims disagreeing with their decision.

Quote:
Perhaps you ought to direct your angst at the non-muslims making the decisions then.

I certainly would, they disgust me, being puppets of Islam.
Quote:
I just spent a month fasting, plenty of my work friends would apologise for eating in front of me...I told them not to be silly, and that really the have nothing to apologise for.

Of course they have nothing to apologise for.

Quote:
So you want me to change what I believe do you

No. Believe what you like, but keep me out of it.

Quote:
Your angst in this instance is quite clearly misdirected. It was non-muslims who made these decisions, and made these orders.....not muslims...therefore, clearly, once again...you have no point.

The point is quite clear, non-muslims are being forced to conform to muslim rituals.......decided by muslims or otherwise, it still illustrates the point that muslim customs are being forced on non-muslims. And that is wrong. I would have a problem with anyone who made this decision, muslim or not.

By the way, I am appreciating this debate with you, you have even managed to minimize your personal insults which is just terrific. Well done.

Yadda Yadda Yadda,

Water off a ducks back, for me

'Straight over your head' is actually what comes to mind for me.
You've so far made about 347 points in this thread, and for the first few pages, we wasted our time addressing them, and made a few points in response, not one single point was answered by you. You just waffled on with more cut-paste jobs from anti-Islamic sites and dubious wiki articles, whilst completely ignoring every single point made to you.
Now I'm still waiting for you to show me how most of the Muslims in Australia, fled religious dictatorships, when most of them came from Lebanon and Turkey, neither of which was a religious dictatorship. Or how the migration of Jews from Iraq about 40 years after the annulment of Shari'ah law (when they'd lived under it quite fine for about 1200 years) has anything to do with Islam?
If you don't have the courtesy to respond when you've been caught out and questioned, don't expect others to respond to you.





'......Muslims in Australia, fled religious dictatorships, when most of them came from Lebanon and Turkey, neither of which was a religious dictatorship.'

abu, in recent years both of these countries, Lebanon and Turkey, have suffered from the encroachment of militant ISLAMIST's into those communities.

Those ppl, who love Sharia, and want to impose Sharia, upon ppl who are not muslims.

These Lovers of Sharia have shown that they are prepared to do *whatever* local conditions will allow, to achieve their aims.

In recent years, these Lovers of Sharia have transformed, what were relatively stable countries, into places were bombings and assassinations are now not unusual.

Again, ......who is doing this?

Lovers of Sharia are doing these things, ppl who's aim is to impose Sharia on all ppl, to impose an ISLAMIC 'religious' dictatorship on ppl who are not muslims.




You said i did not address these points regards Lebanon and Turkey.....

Turkey
http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1223522110/56#56

Lebanon
http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1223522110/62#62


And while i concede, my posts don't relate to muslims coming to Australia, fleeing religious dictatorships, these posts show the instability within these two countries, which being fostered by those Lovers of Sharia, devout muslims.

And i have no doubt that many Lovers of Sharia, who come to Australia from Lebanon and Turkey, are citing the political environment in those two countries, as a consideration, to seek to find a new start in countries like Australia.

So ISLAM, Lovers of Sharia, create the local problems [Lebanon and Turkey].

And then use the circumstance [created by their 'brothers'], as a reason to seek a home among infidels, in infidels countries.


Google,
Islam forbids Muslim emigration to the lands of the infidels


++++

.....and yet the Lovers of Sharia come.

ISLAM mandates intolerance of the Jahiliyya [an un-ISLAMIC] lifestyle.

"....Jahiliyya is a result of the lack of Sharia law, without which Islam cannot exist;"

I think jordan sums up the rational sentiment precisely with his comment.

It goes back to my comment about the lack of determined, intelligent and popularly published criticism of Muslims about Muslims while in the West we have many such as Chomsky and Ralston Saul etc that openly attack the West. Also I do not get the feeling that they hate the West by doing so, rather the reverse.

We don't need Muslims to criticise Muslims, the non-Muslims already waste enough of their time doing it for us. If you want to criticise yourself, fine, and make it a staple part of your culture, that's also fine, but don't pretend for a moment it's THE marker of an advanced society, or that it's compulsory for every society/culture to do it, as it's not. In this case it's simply a part of the propaganda war agaist Islam, to incite Muslims to infight and attack one another. Not biting today sorry, cast your line in deeper waters.

abu - self criticism leads to growth.

It does not mean you dislike yourself.
It means you want to become better.

It is a positive brave thing.
