I won’t be putting up cartoons of Mohammad in the street, but I support everyone’s right to do so. I have them up on a website of mine just because Muslims tell me that I can’t.
I don’t buy the “weekend Muslims” concept as proposed by Issac. Muslims are not part timers like Christians, on the whole. They read and obey the directives in their “holy book”, unlike Christians.
Well done to France and Belgium for ridding themselves of the oppressive Burqa, perhaps NZ should do the same before it becomes an issue here, which it undoubtedly will.
Issac, how can you be a sceptic and be an active member of the Interfaith Society? I know that the Sceptics Society doesn’t want to touch religious scepticism, but that seems like we are giving religion a “special place” that it really doesn’t deserve.
Islam is more of a threat to my way of life than homeopathy, psychics or Ouija boards. I am totally against face coverings, circumcision, Halal killing, homophobia, repression of free speech and all the other “wonderful things” that Islam stands for.
An interesting article about someone that tried to make fun of religion and was prosecuted can be read here: http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/04/uk-atheist-who-mocked-islam-and-christianity-hit-with-anti-social-behaviour-order----but-for-which-i.html
As Phillip Pullman says HERE “No one has the right to spend their life without being offended.”
I don’t want to inflame Islam but I will stand against it wherever I get a chance.
Cheers
