Views of a Muslim student, re-despatches

[Lonnie]

I thought this was quite a brave and well thought out statement, and something to give us hope.

Well done to this man.

Is it genuine or fog? I hope the former, but muslims are experts at fog - Taquiya?

[Lonnie]

Hi Theland, it was in the Jewish News, so i'm assuming its genuine, but other than that, I don't know, Just hope it is.

lol - damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Lonnie my favourite pro-Jewish site takes a slightly different view on muslim kids occupying the UK.

I therefore guess, the sensible words of an ugly teenager are little more than hidden feelings of hate towards the Jews. Cynical maybe, but I do not trust a single one of them. And I am not a Jew.

However, :Lonnie, I admire your faith in this young man and lets hope that peace will one day be seen in the Middle East.

I used to take the same view, Joe, maybe i'm mellowing with age.
Thats an interesting blurb, got some good articles, I paticularly liked the one about Palestine. very true..

"I therefore guess, the sensible words of an ugly teenager are little more than hidden feelings of hate towards the Jews. Cynical maybe, but I do not trust a single one of them."

And I say again, "Damned if they do, damned if they don't"

On one side, you have people saying "why don't these so called 'sensible' Muslims speak out" - well you can see why.

Even devout self confessed Christians (who I thought were meant to look for the good side of people) such as Theland cast aspersions on their character - much better to just not say anything at all.

Thanks for your responses.
All I can say is, If the young man in my post is genuine, then thats got to be a good thing, if he's not, then nothings changed.
