Of course not. Amogles is a little too delicate for that. | Quote: | |  | | | I'll believe they are liberal when I see a man praying in women's headdress and having a pork sandwich and a pint of lager afterwards. | | | | |
Plenty do eat pork and enjoy a pint now and again.
So we're agreed, they're liberal? | Quote: | |  | | | The founders received hundreds of death threats. What a surprise. | | | | |
What took you so long pash?
I was starting to wonder if you were ok, having waited so long before you chimed in on a muslim-bashing forum.

| | Re: All about Muslims (in the wake of terrorist attacks in Europe)
There is a spectrum of Muslims just as there is for every other religion out there from Jews to Christians. Some women cover their hair, some eat pork, some drink alcohol etc.
It's nonsense to stereotype any religion as being strictly this or that, perhaps we can all agree that in general all religions are nutty

So if a Christian church can count as liberal if it fulfils certain criteria, then for a muslim mosque to also be liberal, it would need to fulfil equivalent and corresponding criteria.
If a Christian church is not ultra conservative, then it's not automatically lberal, it's more lilely just middle of the road mainstream.
I see nothing in this mosque that makes it more liberal than a mainstream Christian church.

Good point.
You should have pointed out sooner that you were, in fact, a member of this mosque.

KKK is actually right here - somebody actually should educate this guy.
Thank you for your (possibly first) constructive comment.

I meant the Muslims. Let Mr. Vertigo and other people talk about this issue, at least their interventions are legitimate.

Good to know you support the many "anti-Muslim" posters here? | | | | | I don't support the main anti-Muslim posters (or anti-anything else if I think more of it) here, but arguing that terrorism inflicted by Buddhist nutters affects us (or can affect us) in the same way than the other is simply silly.
I certainly don't enjoy knowing there are nutters in other parts of the world and they inflict terror there too, but the other extremists are, unfortunately, a cause of concern for Europe, sad but true. Yes, there is a problem in certain circles and it's better to understand it. I don't expect anyone from the left wing to have a debate so OK, I'll leave you to that.
I remember that when I was a child I knew that Muslims are very peaceful and generous, it was that kind of basic knowledge you get from some stories but it was there. What on earth happened with this world in the meantime, we'll never know. And it's not always "the others" that are guilty. It's combined, and a little bit of soul searching would be in order, I believe. But really, I'll leave it to you. I don't want to be accused of being anti-anything because I am not.
