So you agree with Y that expressing your views will get you into hot water, eh?

That’s sad. You started this board to have interesting chats with us all, not become the new Abu.

You should chat more often, FD. Some of your views show a great deal of insight and curiousity.

And yes, this is a good thing.

Karnal last time you asked if I agreed with someone else's position on an issue, they responded by accusing you of outright lies.

She said:
"You only believe in one way of a government, only a secularism and no room for a theocracy.. so what I'm trying to say is there doesn't need to be that limitation."

My answer is, sorry lady, but even discussing an Islamic theocracy as a thought experiment in Australia is off the table.

Gandalf were you really so eager to see the good in this fellow Muslim that you didn't pick up on this, despite watching the video specifically for references from her to theocracy?

Oh I picked up on it FD - I picked up on the fact that this is not her saying, as claimed here, that wanting a theocracy is a "valid view to be respected". Did you also pick up on that? I'm surprised if you didn't - for someone who thinks its the most outrageous misrepresentation to paraphrase the question "do you think we are not even trying to set up democracy in Iraq?" as "do you think we are trying to set up democracy in Iraq" - I thought you might have noticed

A resident Islam critic who claims to represent western values said:

In one case (yours), it is saying the exact opposite Gandalf - in the context of quoting written communication from the same thread where it would have actually been easier to quote directly rather than misquote, and where the discussion had focussed on the grammatical issues with what was said.

So tell me, if theocracy is not valid and not worthy of any respect, why would she say there doesn't need to be this limitation that excludes theocracy? In what way is Gordy misrepresenting what was said? Do you think the woman in question would disagree with Gordy's take on the show?

Or do you actually agree with Gordy's interpretation, but you merely wanted to point out that she did not use those two exact words?
