I am of the opinion that they (Islamists) should be asked a question which
has two (2) answers.
The question is as follows:
(a) Do you consider yourself a citizen of (insert country is residence here)
first?
or
(b) Do you consider yourself an Islamist first?
Those that choose (a) to continue to be the valued citizens they are.
All those that choose (b) to be provided with a one way ticket to an Islamic
country of their choice on the first available flight and an armed escort to
ensure they or on that flight.
One way to get rid of them!!

are you a christian or are you (insert country) first?
What's an 'Islamist?' A beliver in Islam? Why should they deny that?
But if you're asking if they'll commit violence in the name of their
belief....

You know what to remove, to reply....
Do you see ME running around extolling the virtues of lopping off people's
heads????
Your name fits your cerebral capacity, it seems.
I am referring to those, as stated in my post, that set about the systematic
destruction of the western culture/ideology that chose to shelter them after
their escape from the barbaric country they initially fled from.
Islamists pay lip service to moderacy, to religious freedom but are united
in their belief that theirs' is the true religion.
This belief is what drives them to commit atrocities against the infidel,
that and the promise of their 72 virgins in paradise.
They then have the gall to publically state that their adopted (western)
country is morally bankrupt and should be destroyed by the rath of THEIR
god(s) and this they do while enjoying those very freedoms hard won by the
true natives of their adopted land.
THEY should be treated as in my original post.
The rest, AS LONG as they behave, stick around.
You move to another country, you assume their culture and way off life. You
DO NOT try and destroy theirs.
The Christian would say that the question has no relevance because he
believes in the Separation of Church and state. Islamicists do not. The
Bible says that Christians should obey civil authorities whilst leaving
their souls open to God and free of human domination. The Quaran says that
a Moslem should only obey religious authorities. Socialist monopolies
similarly expect to rule over man's spiritual life.
The Bible has an end scenario that sees the redeemer coming forth in a
second coming and redeeming the nations. Islam sees an and scenario whereby
its adherents arise and kill those who do not submit to their spiritual
domination.
Islam is concerned with the aquisition of territory that should be declared
consecrated to it's religion, and once claimed in the name of Islam, can
never be returned. A Christian sees the holy place within. (Your body is the
temple of the Holy Spirit)
Christianity is about the choices that you make - (Choose this day who you
will serve) - Islam and Socialism refer to cenral control that conforms them
to the will of the central authority that has the power to condemn them.
The answer would be therefore
Yes the Christian will consider himself a citizen of (insert your country
here)
No he will not consider himself an Islamicist first.
He will render all assistance to the development of the common good, but the
province of his own soul is not the business of the State. His leaders will
guide him, counsel him and even punish him when he strays against the common
good, but he sees no jurisdiction by mullahs, or presidents over his body
temple.
This is the basis of most democratic establishments and is one reason why
they flourish amongst Christian nations.
so you havent asked a christian the same question either....
Unlike many asylum seekers, the English have generally not been in a
situation where they have gone abroad as minority refugees seeking escape
from the oppressive systems that have caused serious decline in their own
countries and then tried to reintroduce the elements of failure in the new
situation.
They were highly organised with a heritage of building and improving who
built and developed their imperial empire that was generally based on merit.
English literature is full of brave heroes of war and faith, both infidel
and patriotic, however you will not see a book by Rudyard Kipling that
glorifies something like a suicide bomber.
Idiot - I think that you should go and live in Iran or Afghanistan and get
an angle on why these people regard your public transport system so
jealously. It would seem that their system got in the way of developing such
things in just the same way as it is now impeding yours
The lack of choice and the claims of marginalisation of youth are no excuses
for the depraved criminal activity that has caused this terror. The
anti-social perpetrators of the London bombings fall into the same category
as the suicidal criminals who shot pupils and threw bombs at Cullumbine high
school in America. Satanism did not justify their religious extremism in the
same way that Islamicism does not justify the attacks by these so called
moslems against their fellow citizens.

Yes I have - he has given a qualified answer - on the other hand what would
the moslem's answer be? In the case of many thinking Moslems it may be the

cannot pledge allegiance to the state in the spiritual or the temporal.
The seperation of church and state was a Christian institution brought
forward by Christian political reformers such as William Wilberforce
>

> Neither do Christian members of the established Church in the UK.
Separation of Church and State is Christian Democrat 101 - the church is a
seperate body like the judiciary is a seperate body. It is called Seperation
of powers. There are very few established UK Christian churches who advocate
a direct theocratic civil government. I cannot name one, but maybe you can.
The Christian People's Alliance, the UK's Christian Democratic party have
separation of Church and State written into their party constitution. Most
Christian Church leaders in the UK would blow a fuse if you suggested that
the Church take on the role of civil government.
Electing Christian leaders who advocate a Christian moral climate in a
democratic system is not the merging of Church and state.
The use of coercion in order to impose religious practices on the citizenry
uses religion as a power to affect the democratic will of the people. I do
not know of any religious leader outside Islam that advocates this.
in the case of any extremists you will get extreme answers though what they
have to do with the mainstream im not sure unless you is trying to tar folk

And THAT is why I chose not to answer your idiotic reply in the first place.

One cannot apply civilized principles with fundamentalists of which the
moslems are the worst.
a - you appear to be contradicting yourself with that reply unless in your

You have got me there, but I did not see him as a religious leader - he now
calls himself Dr Ian Paisley and defends a more nationalistic point of view
than a religious one.
As far as I know he has not been involved in any suicide bombing campaigns
like the Moslems, but he is a little angry at the moment as some of his
people have lost kneecaps and been tortured and beaten and stuff, but I
think that he will come around when he sees that the IRA are genuine this
time and that there are no splinter groups and that the criminal element of
the IRA are prepared to reform and come on board and that the "real IRA"
have also laid down their arms. The poor guy has already laid down his arms
a couple of times and the IRA have not come to the party so you will have to
give him a bit of time.
Pick any of the suicide bombers.

I see. Who, exactly, attacked whom in Iraq? Are you aware of the level
of death an destruction that country is now experiencing? Have you
heard the "Christian" justifications of this terrible situation?
John Mullen
why do you seem to think suicide bombings are worse than (non suicide)
bombings? do you feel there is maybe something "barbaric" about looking into
the eyes of the people you are about to kill?
He is head of a "Free" Church, whiche means that it is seperate from the
state church, and he does hold and promote some very fundamentalist
religious beliefs.

The vast majority of Moslems don't think Sharia Law is a good idea.
That is why the US's 2nd favourite Moslem Country, Indonesia just had
it's highest religious body condemn rational interpretation of the
Koran, because their push for a Sharia state was threatened by the fact
that most Indonesians consider them less and less sane.

Bin Laden uses his personal wealth to advance his people and his cause.

Bin laden is just a good boy, serving his family interests, doing the
occasional favour for his family's 3-generation business associates, the
Bush family.
As a CIA operative, he's done a creditable job. 9/11 was, to any student of
history, an obvious repeat of the Reichstag burning in 1933. At the time,
the hysterical blaming of "terrorists" enabled the passing of the Homeland
Security Act, which got Hitler going in a big way, and helped IG Farben
hugely. Bin Laden's mission got the American Homeland Security Act passed,
which enabled Bush to wage war without checking with his people, and got
Bayer (part of IG Farben) out of some v serious trouble.
I'll take that as a yes...
Take it any way you want, and grease it before you shove it up your keister.
> BFB:
> U R outta here!!
Of course - just like any idiot in 1933 that suggested that Nazis had
something to do with the Reichstag fire bombing. What a crazy idea. Not at
all in line with right thinking people who let the media tell them what's
what.
History shows that it's generally the fellow who had the most to gain that
did the thing. Bin Laden gained:???, the US administration gained hugely,
Bayer and Smith-Klein gained hugely. Do a little research, friend!

While the press support the government in crazy claims like MOSSAD or

You need to do a little yourself. Smith *Kline* Beckman became Smith Kline
Beecham in 1989 and about 5 years ago merged with Glaxo Wellcome to become
GlaxoSmithKline. To stay up to snuff as a conspiracy theorist, you really
should keep up to date with pharmaceutical companies they are as bad, if not
worse than insurance companies.
Bin Laden has more money, and possibly more idiots willing to die for
his cause. I suspect not many more who'd kill for it.
Oh, and I suspect Fallwell hates Le=iberal Democracy more.

Check history and you'll find that there is still little evidence that the

I don't think "conspiracies" are necessarily involved. Just people working
for the "good" of their shareholders and politicians working for the "good"
of their constituents, as they see it.
The results of 9/11 = Americans lost some civil liberties, but had their
savings (invested in these corporations) preserved. At the cost of very few
lives, the USA got cheap access to 30 years' oil supply (the Afganistan
pipeline) and got control of rival Japan's main oil supplier (Iraq). Just
good business. No conspiracy required.
Whatever that is...some places aren't all that culturally monolithic.

And if you ask them just where thet personally stand;
The sincerely peaceful will, of course, say: "I have no intention of

The smopuldering terrorists will, of course, say; "I have no
intention of committing violence."
Someone intent on blowing up others (possibly including themselves),
will have no problems telling that lie.
Therefore, what has this public statement acheived?

There you go again with "so most people tend to believe that" and
"people are getting worried that". What more can I say?
You have lost it completely geezer.
The bombers do not look into the eyes of the people they are about to kill.
They are shameless cowards who cannot fight man to man in a declared war.
They have purposely killed unarmed civilians, without alerting them that
there was a fight on - a sneak attack.
The suicide bombers have had their minds bent with pseudo- religion. as in
weak minded. There is plenty that is barbaric in that. Sneaking up behind
someone and killing them is barbaric and it is murder.

I wonder if he's a good MP? I came across a guy in another ng who went to
the legislature to address a committee about something to do with his
industry. He was very surprised to find his MP (Bud Wildman) there waiting
for him, as he had not contacted his MP, and didn't vote for him because he
loathed his party. Turns out Wildman always scoured the Hansard for
anything to do with his constituents, and always showed up for them, even if
not asked, so the guy always voted for him after that. I wonder if Paisley
represents *all* his constituents.
I was brought up much the same and I still find it hard to be impartial. For
instance, I will *always* refer to Celtic in the most derogatory terms.

No, that was what caused the civil rights movement. Paisley whipped up the
storm that started the troubles preaching distrust and spreading fear
amongst the Protestant communities. Remember, the army were originally
called in to protect the Catholics and were warmly welcomed.

Father O'Brien just might have other resources, I'm more worried about wee
Mrs Flaherty who husband was injured at work, and is still in the hospital,
and she hasn't received his workers compensation, or money from the social,
or any help at all and she's got 3 kids, and not even the bus fare to the

after all his constituents regardless of religion or politics. Whether that
is true or not is another matter.

Unless they're being burnt out, of course.
In the past two weeks, Ian Paisley's public utterances have been
restricted to an article in the Belfast Telegraph on the purely
hypothetical possibility of unionist speaking rights in the Dail.
Apparently, neither the loyalist feud nor the almost daily attacks on
his constituents occupy his mind as much as the distant possibility that
unionists might one day be able to shout across the Dail at the Taoiseach.
Why is this even an issue?
He was elected by a majority so that is that. He represents the
constituency in parliament. Finished.
The duty of an elected official is to serve his or her constituency.
All of it.
John Mullen
OK, so now set the same standard for all MP's.

Paisley would say that he best serves the interests of his constituents by
protecting them from the pernicious doctrine of Papacy, that traps them in
ignorance and damns their immortal souls.
An MP isn't bound to support the beliefs of his constituents, just their
interests.

Why not?

Good then do it and stop whinging about this guy.
I think you hit the nail on the head.
John Mullen
Who was whinging? I just asked a question. I watch the Parliamentary
channel most days. During the time for petitions, usually, most MP's sign
the petitions they present. I live in Ontario, and the MP who extended full
funding to abortion clinics hands in pro-life petitions by saying that she
is presenting on behalf of so-and-so, and while not agreeing with the
petition, she is pleased to present it to the house on his behalf.

If you are looking for action try watching motorcycle racing, so pretty
spectacular stuff happens there. Although I must say that there is some
attraction to being witness to politicians kicking and gouging each
other. The problem is though that we don't get to select who will take
part in these knock down, drag outs.
I don't watch for the action, but because I care about the issues. However
if you are really interested in seeing them kicking each other, there may be
some video here.

That was in Quicktime. No good for me.
Liked this two-in-one on brawls in Somali and Indonesian Parliaments
though. (if you have Real)
Pretty wild stuff.
We had a politician here named Sheila Copps. An MP said a line of a song
about her in a speech at some dinner. She brought it up in the house, and
he called her "baby" and she vaulted over chairs to try and get at him,
screaming that she wasn't his baby, she wasn't anybody's baby. His name is
John Crosbie, he's from Newfoundland, but his accent sounds Irish. Anyway,
the song has the line "pass the tequila Sheila, and lay down and love me
again". That tune may have been better suited to the Ozzie Parliament.
Later Sheila wrote a book called "Nobody's Baby"
--
All persons are deemed to have a _right_ to equality of treatment,
except when some recognised social expediency requires the reverse. And
hence all social inequalities which have ceased to be considered
expedient, assume the character not of simple inexpediency, but of
injustice, and appear so tyrannical, that people are apt to wonder how
they ever could have been tolerated; forgetful that they themselves
perhaps tolerate other inequalities under an equally mistaken notion of
expediency, the correction of which would make that which they approve
seem quite as monstrous as what they have at last learnt to condemn. The
entire history of social improvement has been a series of transitions,
by which one custom or institution after another, from being a supposed
primary necessity of social existence, has passed into the rank of an
universally stigmatized injustice and tyranny. So it has been with the
distinctions of slaves and freemen, nobles and serfs, patricians and
plebeians; and so it will be, and in part already is, with the
aristocracies of colour, race, and sex. -- J.S.Mill Chapter V.

Wonderful. It is amazing just how politicians can turn defeat into
victory. Kind of like a criminal selling the film rights and writing a book.
It amazing what one can find on viral video now days. Here you can be a
spectator to a aircraft crash caused by a bird strike. They don't say
what the outcome was ... pilots seemed cool until the end.
