That is why the best thing to do about it is to simply respect all the people as we all have different beliefs.


Now now, Bellamor, no one has the right to not be offended.

Except Matty above. Just try to agree with him, okay?


If Aztec/Mayan culture was still going today would you respect their right of  human sacrifices?

You mean if they're tinted?

That's a hard one, Gordon. Do you accept Curry women aborting their daughters and throwing themselves onto their husbands' funeral pyres?

You've been to Delhi. Of course you do.

Remember, WE DON'T WANT THEM HERE.

Ah, the very question of the thread.

Moi? I'm a dirty little invert. I have much respect for dirty brown Curries, but do you know? My mind freezes with Hinduism. I love Vedantic philosophy, but I glaze over at the sight of a jolly Hindu ritual - clanging symbols, banging drums, monotone chants, the lot. Siva, Vishnu, Krishna, I don't get any of it.

I honour the ways of the Buddha - a good millenium before Hinduism was systematised and nutted out by various kings, priests and knuckleheads. To this day, I have no idea why so many Hindus bow down before various gods, and I don't think many of them do either. As the great thinker Vivekananda once said (and I'm paraphrasing), it hardly matters whether God exists or not, that's just his tradition, how he understands his experience of the world and the universe, the object of his spiritual practice.

The Buddha did away with God entirely, even though he came from that tradition. For the Buddha (and the yogis and Sufi mystics and for many Christians, Muslims and Jews too), the end-point lies in silence. For us, that's God.

Back in the dawn of time, the Vedic thinkers had it all worked out. Language, maths, agriculture, geography and ethics all worked together. It was a golden age. Today?

India is a mess. Tomorrow? We'll never know. Our own culture was a mess during the Dark Ages too, less that a millennium ago.

So no, Gordon, no culture is really more superior than others. We have our gods, but in the end, they hardly matter.

You?

A little more than a millennium, but I forgive you

Let there be light

Of course all cultures are not the same, but I bet if we all took the time to understand a bit about each other, we'd see the similarities by far outnumber the differences.

Yeah, we all love our children.

And we all hate those who despicably use us, and lie to us, and seek to harm us ?




Yeah, that is all pretty universal, in the human 'universe' of differing cultures.

.......and then there is ISLAM,    and what it teaches to its followers.





.




Moslems are not like us, nor any other peoples.




All moslems are moslems.

FACT
"Muslims are one ummah (community) to the exclusion of all men.

Believers are friends of one another to the exclusion of all outsiders."



Quote:

Here, for example, are two very illuminating passages from the canonical Life of Mohammed by Ibn Ishaq, as translated by A. Guillaume, and a third passage, from the earliest known Muslim historian.

Ishaq: 204 - "'Men, do you know what you are pledging yourselves to in swearing allegiance to this man [Muhammad]?' 'Yes. In swearing allegiance to him we are pledging to wage war against all mankind.'"

Ishaq:231 - "Muslims are one ummah (community) to the exclusion of all men. Believers are friends of one another to the exclusion of all outsiders."

And here is Al-Tabari, a very early Muslim historian, in book 9, chapter or section 69, reporting words that Muslims believe to have been said by Mohammed himself - "Killing infidels is a small matter to us".

These texts are not fossils from a distant past. They are not dead letters. They are still 'live' and carry tremendous weight in the imagination and practice of many Muslims around the world.
...DDA


DUCKDUCKGO.COM





THE DEATH CLAUSE IN THE CONTRACT, OF ALLEGIANCE TO ALLAH's RELIGION...

"Say: "...If ye think that ye are friends to Allah, to the exclusion of (other) men, then express your desire for Death, if ye are truthful!"  "
Koran 62.06


Koran 62.06 is admonishing the believer, that his only true love, in this life [if he is a true moslem], is to die, fighting in Allah's cause.

yet nobody is migrating to the third world - even though by your reckoning they are much like us.

Islanders and Africans brawl in Ingleburn - one dead.

Four Africans arrested, three released, one charged.
One Islander is dead.

Multicultural harmony.

It is all part of the       cultural enrichment       that the mixing of diverse cultures in Australia,
has brought to Australian society Frank.


"What are you doing looking at my sister!!!"

"Youse all, stop looking at my sister right now, or i'll kills ya!!!"

Hey Brian,

Have you gone blind ?

Or have you lost your own perception of REALITY ????

Duh!!!!!





It was these people [below], who were involved in violence against others,
who have demonstrated to all of Australia, how Xenophobic THEY WERE.

And they actually reverted to the Xenophobic type, and proved it, beyond doubt!



xenophobia = = intense or irrational dislike or fear of people from other countries.


--------  >

These people are probably, real RACISTS   brian!

No, Bwian, you have gone blind - and the Pope warned you about all that fapping to Mohammed and the houries but your animus against Christians who tried to keep you on the strait path to the narrow gate meant that you just HAD TO wank yourself blind. To teach them a lesson, no doubt...


Sad but instructive. Karnal is next.
