what happened to free speech

[Scoobos]

Very much compatible with the Dutch Reformed church's views though.

Then I don't like them either and question the legality of it all. It's almost inciting violence against women

Why do you think Christians such as yourself are able seemingly handle this far better than muslims appear to? Jokes against Christianity hardly results in the same type of reaction that those against Christians do? Are there conclusions to be drawn from this? Admittedly, I know very little about Islam.

Well there's a difference between a joke and a serious insult. British Christians are simply not culturally of the type that they're likely to get violent but they do get up in arms if they think the law is changing contrary to what the Bible says... laws about marriage and abortion and homosexuality for example. In the UK, Christian complaints are more likely to be petitions and letters to your MP

So are muslim complaints; it's just a shame that a few crackpots take it further.

WHS
As an aside, while some think that muslims are planning to take over Europe, why are there no Islamic party MPs in nearly all European countries?

Because leftist parties do the job... by now.

Anyway, this is not the case at local level. Some districts in the city where I live are controlled by Muslim politicians.

OK, Britain has a different electoral system to many other countries, but the paranoid BS of the islamophobes had any substance at all, there'd be about 10 seats in the Dutch parliament held by a muslim party, annd several seats in Germany, France, Italy and Spain; it's actually 0, zero, zilch, nada, and I'll tell you why; the vast majority of muslims vote for secular parties like the liberal or the social democratic parties, parties who are very cricital of religion.

They are not dumb. The Left favors them with subsidies and lax immigration laws. It would be stupid to vote otherwise.

But when they become a majority like in Luton. What is this 'Respect' party other than an UK offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood?

Europe is the living space of the European peoples. Muslims have no place here.

WHS (Mostly)

If you look at Malaysia, which has more muslims than anywhere else in the world, you see that people are people and that the average muslim is the same as your average catholic. We have jehova's witnesses which I suppose you could equate to radicalism in other religions.

How many JWs suicide bombers have you noticed lately?

JW is a weird religion, but unlike Muslims, they are not supremacists.

Islam is a religion, not a race.

Just thought I'd point that out.

Well it's obviously a conspiracy of socialists, atheists, islamists and gay rights campaigners planning to take over the western world and subjugate it to rule by the edict of an Iranian Ayatollah innit?

And?

Islam is completely alien to Western Civilization. Actually, most of the West was made fighting off Muslim invasions.

[Mich the Tester]

Nope.

And they haven't thrown polystyrene rocks at me either.

I've had a muslim chuck things at me. It was when I played cricket back at skool. We were quite a serious team and faced a Pakistan youth team who were practising during their tour. One of their fast bowlers was quite, well, enthousiastic and I was batting at number 11. Got a big bruise on my ribs from one of his bouncers. I can't blame him though as I was partial to bowling with more fury than accuracy too.

Pretty much it. Proletarians don't listen to Marxists anymore, so they found a new client-audience: Muslims.
