A. errr I have my faith so I don't have to prove it.

Anyway this post is getting away from the main point. As I posted earlier and what you seem to have ignored is that she wasn't denied access on religious grounds. She was found to harbour very extermist views, hence why the French immigration refused her based on the fact that she may cause problems if she was allowed to enter the country.

Had nothing to do with a head scarf!
Bonjour!

May I suggest that you study the work of Descarte the philosopher

You may, but he's just another ill informed bigot that spouts racist crap... I've watched it, and to be fair if that's the best you can come up with then I wouldn't bother posting any follow ups!

He's just offensive for the sake of being rude, nothing there that impresses me.... maybe some here would be?

and someone who opposes Islam isnt racist by the way. You are falling into the exact trap he mentions of a) being inaccurate and b) devaluing the word to the point of worthlessness

Well now I'm confused (or thick, I am a bit) as it says in the article that she has lived in France since 2000.

I would say killing 2800 people is fairly offensive - but you seem to think there is some kind of equal footing here between the western views and Islamic ones. Commenting on how Islamic tradition is to mutilate young girls genitals, beat wives, oppress women in general, teach children to hate Jews, pledge to take over the world under the rule of your God, kill homosexuals and call all those who dont follow your dogma "infidels" (just try substituting the word untermensch) - saying these things is not racist - its expressing digust at a warped, evil idealology - something that any sane person would and should do

Oh dear ...... The Jews circumcise children, shall we hate them as well? ... black "Christians" in Africa commit genocide in the name of God, shall we therefore assume that all Christians are stark staring mad killers?

You really need to stop watching those youtube videos

No, I'm not.... I'm just amazed at your lack of vision and understanding.... you clearly blames all Muslims for 9/11, not just the fanatics that undertook the attack.

Speaks volumes, no point in us discussing this any further really!

I will say that I feel believing in a sky fairy to an extent that you feel you have to force your views on others by whatever means, accepting sick cultural practices, and going round thinking anyone who doesnt follow your pathetic fantasy is inferior is not something that I am going to support in any shape or form.

Hope that clears it up for you

How many Muslims, do you know, personally, that follow that doctrine?

As for Pat Connell, he obviously hates religion, all religion. He treats it with utter contempt, which is, of course his right. But don't for gods (sic) sake hold up his monolgues as some sort of proof that Islam is bad. That's like me posting up a link to a Al Queda broadcast as proof that the West is evil.

The problem is with Pat, is that he takes the worst elements of a given subject, and holds that up as the typical example that *all* people that follow that way of life are just as bad. Which is, of course, ridiculous.

Now I am sure you know, personally, lots of people that beleive in some diety or another, I am also sure that 99.99% of those people are fine upstanding people. Just because some nutter decides he is going to blow people up, does not mean all people that follow that religion are the same, anymore than Ian Huntely is representative of your average Soham resident.

Welcome back PB - DCI's PC work was starting to crack, so its good that you have stepped in!

The French are right for once and that's all that really matters . The appeal has failed and the case is well and truly closed For what its worth, the Swiss apply the same constraints to granting citizenship i.e. its a privilege and not a right. If you don't want to integrate then don't bother applying. It would appear the Swiss approach is also not very friendly to those that refuse to compromise. Its their country, so that is their choice.


As an import model (and a rather successful one if I say so myself ) - I say that if you want to walk around dressed as a dalek then that's your business, but don't expect to be flooded with job offers (other than in parts of West London) and certainly don't expect any social security benefits for not being able to get a job FFS!

There are equal opportunities aplenty for the most part in western countries, but you need to make an effort if you want to be able to take advantage of them. If you think your religion is more important than applying common sense and bettering yourself, then why not pray for help. Be prepared for a bit of a wait though....

....The only thing you've cleared up is the fact that you're an uneducated fool that believes rubbish that's spouted on viral websites by racist idiots!

Oh and the fact that it's people like you that give this country such a bad reputation, but don't let that stop you attending your next BNP meeting

HTH.... (I'm guessing you're actually beyond help though)

Yeah, think you may have missed the point - Suresh and I had a discussion a couple of months ago about whether people should wear certain clothes to conform. Went on for a few pages, and in the end we agreed to differ.

I didn't see the point in having the same discussion again - Do a search on it if you're that bothered.

No worries chap - nobody ever wants to hear from a successful darkie - the right wing because it ruins the 'need a handout' stereotype and the lefties because I reject their pathetic wrong-headed thinking that tries so desperately hard to help but always ends up making it worse...

Slightly off topic, but I'm wondering how many of DCI's many posts are actually impreza related.

The reason I'm asking is is that most of the posts i've seen of his are nothing more than trolling rhetoric and are usually complete bollix.

Not that it matters in NSR of course but you have to ask yourself what's his main reason for being here sooooo much. My guess is it's just to wind people up, get on their nerves and to get as much attention as possible by spouting his bollocks on topics so far reaching as this.

10,000 posts in two years tells me everything I need to know about this chap.

An update from "The Times" today:

A Muslim member of the French Government has attacked the head-to-toe Islamic dress as a prison, applauding a court decision to deny citizenship to a Moroccan woman who wore it.


“The burka is a prison, a strait-jacket,” Fadela Amara, the Minister for Urban Affairs and a longstanding women's rights campaigner, said yesterday. “It is not religious. It is the insignia of a totalitarian political project for sexual inequality.”

To be fair he made some good points, like the one about islam seeks actively seeks offence in everything, and its bullying of opposers!

Like he said, if the followers of islam just stfu and got on with it, rather than trying to change traditions and culture cos it "offends" them, things might be easier all round!

"Islam" doesn't actively seek offence. A small minority of its followers do.

Just because someone writes into the BBC and complains about the kind of cars reviewed on Top Gear, doesn't mean *everyone* is of that opinion. And that's where Pat Connel makes a **** out of himself. He equates the actions of the few, to be representative of all. (When it suits him, obviously).

The vast vast majority of Muslims in this country just carry on like the rest of us.
