One man and his religious sect does not represent the views of all Muslims.  I wish you Islamophobes would understand that this man no more represents the majority of Muslims' views than does the leader of the Westboro Baptist Church represent the views of the majority of Christians.  Tsk, tsk.   

Not all snakes are venomous, but with snakes, you can identify them. They don't suddenly develop venom and start biting people.

Who represents the views of the majority of muslims, Bwian?


Who represents the views of the majority of Austalians? Americans? Westerners?

You are a rare idiot and I am surprised every time I see your posts - you are evidently unaware of just how banal and self-contradictory you are. I am also saddened because your utter lack of self-awareness and elementary consistency is not at all unique. You are just more out there with your laughable stupidity than most others.

Pity you didn't think about that when you used them as an example of christian radicals to counter the claims about Islamic radicals .... who outnumber the Westboro congregation by millions.

In places like Europe, the UK, the USA, Australia
ISLAMIC teachers [imam's] and community spokesmen, always assure the people of those nations, that;


[** '....except where local laws conflict with ISLAMIC law'.]



**         this, is the part of that ISLAMIC legal 'determination' which the moslem always omits when he quotes that ISLAMIC legal 'determination', to the non-moslem.

Ask any moslem.

To 'Aussie' moslems,       Australia is a moslem nation,      and so, ISLAMIC law applies.

And so, the moslem, is always justified.

No more a crazy unsubstantiated rant than half your shyte.

It was an expressed opinion ... a "sentiment"  that I concur with.

"Precise" what he said for me"?  Care to translate?
