An outstanding article re: Muslim culture clash
Skyrad replied to StreetScooby's topic in Speakers Corner
Incorrect. The US and UK IS responsible for the current situation. Why? Because since the early 80's we have supported and funded those radicals, we've trained them and supported them over the moderates and librals within Islam. Why? because in a shortsighted attempt to use them to destroy the Soviet Union. At best we turned a blind eye to their fund raising efforts here in our western democracys for two decades just as we did when we watched young Jihadists going off to train in the camps. These things weren't secret they were open and known about. They existed with the support of our governments, WE sold the soul of Islam to the extreamists. When the liberals tried to speak up they were silenced, now we want them to trust us overnight while our press villifys ALL Muslims. Thats a pretty tall order for a overnight delivery.

With Islam no. With the extremists yes. Just as theres not a culture clash with Christianity but there is with Christians who go around bombing abortion clinics and demonstrating at Soldiers funerals.

Coming from someone who lives in a country where a large amount of people (Including members of the government) belive that the world needs and looks forward to a nuclear war so that Jesus can come again. People who condemn anyone that is not a born again evenglist to an eternity of hellfire. From a country that is the most in debt in the world. Who make up only 4% of the worlds population yet use 25% of the worlds consumables. The only country in the world who has used Nuclear devices not once but twice against fellow humans. A country that reguarly attacks and invades other smaller countries. I find that pretty damn hypocritical and funny. Also if the idiot that wrote that article had the first idea of what he was talking about he would know that Muslims don't view non Muslims as infidels. Jews and Christians are not known as infidels but as 'people of the book.' When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Let's start with the basics. Like economics and being able to feed yourself. Africa contains some of the most economically backward and inept nations on the planet. Despite all the oil wealth, economic growth in Africa is at the bottom of the list. This is no accident. Africans have, over the centuries, evolved into a region that discourages education, critical thinking and technical progress. Africa also has large sects of Christians, who like the Wahabi Muslims in Saudi Arabia, are violently intolerant of other religions and openly preaches hatred, intolerance, and the use of violence, against Muslims. African Christians tend to downplay all this, and blame their lack of performance on the machinations of west. African media tends towards the sensationalistic, paranoid and dogmatic. It's taken as a given, for example, that the West is bent on destroying African culture? What's to destroy? Africa doesn't produce any new medicines, agricultural concepts or technology that benefits all of humanity. Even educated Africans admit that something is wrong here. But these critics are in a minority, and are persecuted for such clear thinking if they become too vocal about it.

I don't see how Carter could have negotiated the Framework agreement on his own without authority as he would not have been able to deliver the light water reactors off his own back without Clintons approval.

I have a plan to steal all the gold in Fort Knox, now all I need is a Jumbo Jet, a squadron of fighter Jets a battalion of special forces and a deal with North Korea. (But don't tell anybody!) Of course all I currently have is a paper aeroplane, a pen knife and a agreement with the local Chineese to deliver food. I guess I'm on the run now!

Sounds like a wanabe, so he had a plan to use a Radiological Dispersal Device but no materials or funding, or even a car.

An interesting question, as a Brit whos been to America on several occasions I'd say its an impossible question to answer. I've met some complete arseholes from and in America, but i've also met some of the nicest people and best friends in America as well. People are people wherever they are.

That is even more interesting. Well it worked in NI, if we're not there they can hardly shoot at us or bomb us on the streets. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca -

I guess we get our information from different sources, then. So, are they "freedom fighters", as well? mh Freedom fighters?

Sounds like another non story. If you want to get in the press these days just mention upsetting Muslims and you're guarenteed headlines, for what would otherwise be a bit show exhibition. ***The gallery may also have removed some art depicting young girls because it was worried about the reaction of anti-pedophile groups, Beaumelle added.[/url] Don't you just hate the way people pander to Anti-Paedophile groups People choose to see a story about angery Muslims rather than face the fact that there was little space and the gallery decided that paedophilia isn't something they wish to indulge.

Ok John, leavinf bidirectional sniping aside; what would you suggest to help stop these kind of attacks? When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

My problem with that is that the context, while not necessarily coercive in so many words, is at least subtly intimidating. These women are approaching their MP (Straw) seeking his (hopefully sympathetic) ear, endorsement and/or action on issues of importance to them. Clearly they have a motivation to be deferential. So, if he asks them to remove their veil, they might very feel that either practical necessity or respect for authority leaves them little choice but to play the good toadie and politely acquiesce. Fair point When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

He's not saying they shouldn't, he's not ordering that they shouldn't be allowed. He's saying that he feels uncomfortable talking to a person whne he can only see their eyes, further hes saying that while he respects their right to wear a veil he asks them if they would mind removing it when they are speaking. (always with another woman present) Wheres the problem with that? When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
