Muslim awareness classes for schools?
I quoted myself. The YOU is anyone reading. The earlier quote led nicely into my even earlier points which I wanted to bring attention to. -

Muslim awareness classes for schools?
Which relates to my earlier points. Why don't YOU acknowledge the barbarians are at the gate when you see islamic inspired violence one day and walk past a mosque in your neighbourhood the next? Unrelated some will say. Really? Explain it please. People simply refuse to think about it... -

Yes they are. That is how you can tell they are invented. -

Muslim awareness classes for schools?
I think that different civilisations have moved at different speeds in their progress. I think when we see such violence it is an effect of the incompatible nature of those more backward cultures with those that are more advanced attempting to occupy the same space. Unfortunately the more... -

I ask that a view have a rationale. Explain the thought behind your views, Im interested to hear. Again I have yet to hear a reasonable rational response to my initial thoughts which leads me to tentatively point to the conclusion that no such rationale to oppose it exists. I await reason. -

Muslim awareness classes for schools?
I merely observe that a person willingly refusing to apply rational thought to a situation does so for a reason. It can be a mental deficiency of some kind, perhaps they themselves are inherently irrational, I would put religious people in such a category for example. It could be that they are... -

Muslim awareness classes for schools?
Well the silence from most respondents and readers on this thread to my rational reasonable queries speaks volumes. I challenge each of you to have a long hard look at yourselves and wonder why you favour illogical bias and sticking your head in the sand in regard to this issue. You needn't... -

Muslim awareness classes for schools?
We have to start by knowing what the problem is. Part of that is having a cold hard look at the facts and not letting any bias get in the way of that. And of course I mean bias from either extreme, from 'all muslims are evil' to 'islamic terrorism has nothing to do with islam'. Just from... -

Muslim awareness classes for schools?
I cannot see how islam is not at the core of this when the murderers themselves state that it is, and when you actually look at what perfectly rational people interpret the core teachings of that religion to include. You would be right for example if a group called the brown eyed men killed a... -
S
Muslim awareness classes for schools?
I await a rational response to my reasonable points. It is a bizarre blind spot that leads otherwise reasonable people to conclude that despite groups that 1, commit acts of violence and murder who refer to islam in the naming of their organisations 2, state that they are committing the... -

I find this conversation rather interesting. What if there was a religion that was preaching misogyny and homophobia. What if it told its followers to convert non members of that religion and what if it stated that those who were not of that religion were a lower form of life and to be treated... -

Hotel stay.. Not strictly necessary but still for the business, valid expense?
I went away in order to do the work. MF has made/repeated the points for me. Im interested in the opinions of the congregation, but reasoned ones are best! And those from qualified sources, such as accountants. Also those that are the same as mine, of course :tongue Bizarrre nonsense...- shoes

Hotel stay.. Not strictly necessary but still for the business, valid expense?
I guess, but should I be basing business decisions on what some public servant might think? I think people can be too wary of them, we know more about our business than they do. For a contractor I guess there is a culture of fear relating to HMRC, which is a shame; THEIR shame. I think it's...- shoes

I was writing software. I found it easier in that environment, I was more productive. You can claim a proportion of the cost to heat your home if you've a home office, because you want a warm room to work in. Its not absolutely necessary, you could be cold instead. But that's allowable. You...- shoes
