Re: # 95 drsohail
It is touching to hear that you both believe in secular humanistic democracy. You have it in the little corner of the world where you reside. Why do you want it for whole world?

You want to do exactly what the Islamic extremists want to do. Now if they want Islam for the whole world, you call them fundamentalists and other nice names. Do you think it would be fair to consider people like yourself to be secular extremists?

THIS IS FOR MASADI


Lashing the victim"

This is the best these fools can muster, copy pastes about Saudi Arabia as if I am a spokesperson for the Saudi government, with whom the US elite have greater sway than all Muslim leaders of Muslim countries put together but tolerate BS in the name of Islam because it serves their mutual perversions.

Have brains enough to counter my arguments with arguments rather than reduce your brain power to cheap clicks of copy pastes that mean nothing whatsoever. As we discuss rape let us also talk about the "rape culture" in the US, the all American crime where around 1 million women are raped yearly, with rape having the lowest conviction rate of any major crime....So before you copy paste again tell that spineless fool, Sohail who writes articles at the level of an eighth grader with zero thought involved, that instead of banning me here try to answer my claims. But I doubt he has either the brains or the morals to do that

Re: # 100

"It is fought in your homeland,...."

Why shouold one fight the agressor only on your own home.that is plain stupidity......

9/11 was rightly the attack on your own home...and US justified to invade those who were hiding the agressors......

India was stupid that it did not fight the Pakistani aggression on kargil in Pakistani land...... but .. as they say - your karmas would catch up soon..........your own aggressor General attacked the Jehadi-supporting Paki intelligentsia and Awaam and enslaved them....good for you....surely the karmas do catch up...........jaisa karega vaisa bharega.......!!

I should have added UK is different than rest of Europe, it’s been said London is the most cosmopolitan city in the world, plus equality is taken very seriously in the UK, any employer or organisation found guilty of discrimination on the basis of race or religion is prosecuted.

BTW Chinese and Indians are doing better than white brits but, Pakistani and bangladeshis are streaking ahead as well. The figures for Pakistani school leavers are that 38% go onto university, the target is 50% in next couple of years.

and let me knock out the century here by stating that the only just war is when the aggressor invades your home, and you have to protect your people.

1. A just war is in self defense (not pre-emptive).
2. It is fought in your homeland, for you are the defender.

hope this helps :)

drsohail,
We agree that democracy is preferable to autocracy - whether religious or secular.
We agree that democratic majorities should not be able to violate basic human rights of minorities.
We disagree on whether democratic majorities can legislate laws based on their religious beliefs.

I am sure cat6 was joking.

PS. what about my 'just war' question?

In your own country, the united kingdom, non-muslim minorities are doing quite well..hindooos and chinese for example. how do you explain that?

Re: # 89

Dear Dr. Sohail,

Category6 is actually thinking storm.

So you probably could not tell that the tone of the interact was all a big joke. I mean, who in thier right mind would think of a "smiling satanist"?

Please examine the following:
[Dr. Sohail is working in reverse. He was a muslim who was hellbent on promoting Islam, then he decided to enjoy the jolly life. He quit Islam and became a Satanist, a devious practice which is areligious, and the adherents are taught extensive mind control and smiling techniques.

So there you are. That/'s the whole truth.

smiles.
]

I was just kidding and being smart alecky again, apologies if I offended :)
