You can be as stupid as you like - just find someone else to blame for the result.

What a joke.

I am 100% certain that if he stated 'You need to take that head-scarf off before l permit you to ride ', this story would have been about someone getting sued for discrimination.

Can't win ether way.

Damned if you do

Debate on Islam and evolution has to be called off after revolt by student societies

Muslim opposition highlights growing influence of creationism and literalist interpretations of the Koran
Organisers behind a British conference on Islam and evolution say they nearly had to cancel the event after receiving a torrent of opposition from Muslim students at one of the country’s top scientific universities, The Independent has leanred.

The Deen Institute, a Muslim debating forum which promotes critical thinking, had hoped to hold a conference entitled “Have Muslims misunderstood evolution?” early next year. Among the speakers invited to attend included Muslim scientists, imams who have promoted the compatibility of Islam and evolution as well as those who preach a form of Islamic creationism.

The initial plan was to hold the event next month at Imperial College London, one of the country’s foremost universities for scientific exploration and debate, in cooperation with the local Islamic student society. But the Deen Institute said it was forced to pull out when it became clear that opposition to the event from supporters of creationism began mounting. It is now being held without input from any Muslim student society at Logan Hall, a conference centre owned by the University of London.

“We eventually had to give up of getting any support from student societies because it was seen as simply too controversial,” Adam Deen, co-founder of the institute, told The Independent. Deen, who describes himself as a “conservative Muslim” who encourages critical thinking, said he was surprised to receive such opposition at a place of scientific study, particularly as he had made sure to invite all sides of the debate including those who preach creationism.

“It’s symptomatic of a bigger problem in the Muslim world where people representing practical Muslims have to be seen to be more literalist,” he said. “It’s almost like there’s an intellectual mafia movement who won’t allow any freedom of thought.”

"The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision."

In the Dark Ages, homosexuality was probably a waste of time and potential genetic variety; but in today's Age of Overpopulation, it should be appreciated as a means of population control. Problem is: the fundamental d**kheads (of all three book-based persuasions) are still stuck in the Dark Ages and undermine all the Gays' good efforts. :banghead:

What a great debate. I watched it from beginning to end and also the Q&A program.

It makes one think strong and hard about religion and the suffering of many as a result of it.

Here's how it works:

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:

United States -- Muslim 0.6%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1.8%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:

Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

Now this is interesting.

Christians have no right to refuse to work on Sundays, rules judge

Judges have been accused of diluting the rights of Christians after a key judgment on whether they can refuse to work on Sundays.

A new ruling by a High Court judge - the first on the issue in nearly a decade - says that Christians have no right to decline working on Sunday as it is not a “core component” of their beliefs.

Sharia law will only affect civil law, specifically, divorce law, where both parties consent. The UK has allowed Rabbinic (Jewish) law for at least 100 years when settling divorce.

Personally, I think it's a bad idea. Women's rights are oppressed in many Islamic societies so it's hard to see how a woman's consent can be guaranteed to be free from coersion.
 
What a barbaric lot of Islamist there are in Syria.

An 11 year old boy cutting off the head of a Christian and another Christian killed, his body cut in to peices and fed to the dogs.

This sort of teaching has started in Muslim schools in Australia whereby Muslem kids are being brianwashed with the Koran 5 times per day.

The teachings clearly spell out if you are not a Muslim then you must be a Christian or an infidel and there is no room in the world for the latter and the latter must be eliminated.

What a cruel world we live in today.

I often wonder what the world would be like without organised religion??? Would we have avoided some of the wars through history? Maybe, but we humans are an invesntive lot so even without the "my god is bigger than your god" (purposefully with a g not G since people who makes those kinds of statement don't represent God) I expect we would have come up with other reasons to justify our ways.

I have far more respect for the person who follows their moral compass and does the odd small good dead in their daily life, than the pious prattlers who stand up and tell the world about the good they are doing in the name of their lord.

These days the ultra religious remind me of a t shirt I saw "Everyone's entitle to MY opinion"

Can I have a "D" and can I buy a vowel?

It is said that "He" was wrongly translated as "D" , and "D" can walk upon water.

So I see no reason why you cannot buy a vowel.

I shall set up a derivative for godbothers who cannot spell.

Well picked burglar.

Will that derivative also cover godbothererbotherers?

Trouble is some people call themselves "Christian" and yet live totally against Christian values. It's all pretence and it is called hypocrisy and, if this is true, this woman is totally sick, imo.

Some people like this try to use the Christian thing so their evil ways go unnoticed and they also play on the fact that decent Christian people will forgive. I know something about it as I was married to a paedophile (until I found out!) and he was right into the "Christian" thing - it seems using it as a cover and to get access to kids. Shameful and sickening.
