The Sherman: Please do not misquote me, i.e where, in my replies did I state that "we have to teach them democracy"??? I've made no such claim.
Mani H: I've stated facts about Islam, i.e. that women cannot vote/get an education/go to a mosque to worship, that homosexuals and adulterers are beheaded, and you accuse me of "attacking Islam" and stating me of having "racial undertone to your views". Like I've already said, YOU are the one in denial if you think that what I've pointed out is inaccurate.
Are we not allowed to impart facts about another culture without being accused of racism? THAT is exactly my point!!!!!!!! WE in the UK CAN express points of view, we are allowed to state facts without prejudice, but there are other cultures where such freedom is DENIED! Iraq and Afghanistan come into this latter category. Irrefutible fact!!!!!!!!!!!! And such facts do not make me racist!
And no, The Sherman, I do NOT complain about people exercising their right to freedom of speech otherwise I would no be living in the UK.
However, our Laws are also aimed at protecting our citiizens against hate-filled, racist rants as opposed to peaceful protest. There is a massive difference between the two!!!!!
As I've already said, and this is something both Mani and Sherman have IGNORED, what would have happened had those squaddies, who were loudly harangued and abused, gone to a mosque and had acted in a similar manner?
