Noob Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 ..are you unsure which would appreciate your cupcakes? Clary would probably start fisting them or some other disguting habit he`s happy to parade to the nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danot Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 There could be something in that, Kaimani - although sadly (as a good look through of the anti-Islamic diatribe on here will show you) I think a lot of those who hate muslims so fervently are hanging their hats on the religious angle - where what they really don't like is that (most of them) they're brown-skinned and culturally different. In the seventies it was just plain old '****-bashing', now it's ****-bashing under the guise of patriotism and 'defending' the nation from Islam...... Im not nor have I ever been into, nor do I condone "**** bashing" as you call it. But I can understand why the Islamic way of life and those of muslim faith are given a hard time by some in Britain. I have no sympathy for Islamic faith, or the criticism it recieves because it's a backward faith that in my opinion has no place in British culture.

Lotusflower Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I like Stephen Fry, but despise Julian Clary. Both poofs, but I`d only invite one round for dinner. What a wonderful conceit that you imagine either would accept the invitation. :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality any point of view can be classed as bigoted if there is an alternative to it. Some may say that you are describing a group with that last comment and call you a bigot even though in reality they may agree with the points. Hypocrisy is a fine line!

Hypocrisy is a fine line!My view on Islam wasn't formed due to a reluctance to consider any alternative viewpionts. It was formed because the Islamic faith is everything that I say it is. Anyone who believed my views were bigoted would first need to discredit my claims before making any accusation of bigotry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigotry is just a word to describe different groups who won't be swayed, the definition doesn't even indicate that the groups are wrong, just steadfast on their views!

Surely they must disagree with something I'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
