Why would anyone try? It’s not a cogent suggestion.

Svejk

You forgot abortion, viewing pornography, suicide and sex outside marriage.

How many of those affect you?

At least two, surely?

[Svejk]

None. But aren't you just confirming their views aren't compatible with ours.

[sp1814]

naomi24

Yes it is.

It's a very well thought out proposition.

[sp1814]

Svejk

Their views dovetail with quite a few non-Muslims actually. What you will find is hypocritical people will suddenly be great supporters of gay rights when they're talking about Islam.

Then suddenly they 'change their coats' when they read stories about Irish bakeries, same sex marriage, Christian B&B owners, gay adoption or the BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

Forked tongues all around there...

donald trump for president !!! i agree 100% with him.

ban them from uk too

// Question Author
100% were against homosexuality. //

yeah and so there are no muslim gays ho ho ho ( that was a sarcastic Father Christmas laugh )

I think there aaaaaare !

Has no one noticed the elephant in the room ?

at 15 36 some one on Sky finally commented - these ( Donald Trumps ideas ) are like the German Nuremberg Laws in the thirties stigmatising the Jews ....

no howls of protest but Sky is british innit ?

Hang on.

Don't Christians (Anglican and Roman Catholic) hold very similar views on the areas mentioned in the survey?

Oh, and is 500 people a large enough sample size?

Does Dieseldick think we should have banned all Irish from mainland Britain a few years ago?

[naomi24]

SP, //It's a very well thought out proposition. //

It's a silly proposition - but it seems to impress you so I won't argue the obvious with you.

Svejk

Incidentally - did you explain what you meant when you described Trump's suggestion as 'sensible'?

If you don't want to go do that road because you were just being flippant - no worries, I'll leave it alone.

naomi24

Are we talking about the same thing?

The gun control question?

[naomi24]

We are indeed.

[sp1814]

naomi24

Do you think an international ban on every single Muslim entering the US is silly?

[Svejk]

500 is quite a small sample. But 100% is quite a big, er, percentage.

[naomi24]

SP, I think the suggestion is unworkable. However, I would support far tighter controls.

[Svejk]

By the by, I don't like militant gays taking (Christian but not muslim) B&B owners to court, etc. Doesn't make me anti-gay.

[naomi24]

^Quite right.

[sp1814]

Unworkable.

Okay - so we may be on the same page.

Svejk thinks it's sensible.

Enjoy the rest of the thread. I'm off to buy some tanks of helium, then I'm off to Devon.

Watch out for some flying cows on News at Ten tonight.
