Hmmm ... glad to see that there is some measure of agreement. Now here's the tough question: are you both satisfied that there is more than ample proof that Christians have engaged in the systematic murder of Muslims in the modern era?

Ok, you dissagree, show me the light Gopher, please.LOL!!!
CASE CLOSED
THREE Indonesian Christians who were on death row for inciting violence against Muslims in 2000 were executed by firing squad, their lawyer said.
"They have been executed. Their bodies are now undergoing an autopsy at the police hospital," lawyer Roy Rening said.
Mr Rening said he was informed of the executions of Fabianus Tibo, Dominggus da Silva and Marianus Riwu by the prosecutors office in Palu, the capital of religiously-divided Central Sulawesi province, where the men were being held.
Indonesia authorities typically do not inform the public of executions, which are carried out by firing squad and held at undisclosed locations, until several hours after an autopsy is completed.
Mr Rening added that he refused to be present at the deaths to protest a rejection by the state of their last demands, including that their bodies be flown back to their home towns or laid in wake at Palu's main Catholic church.
He was unable to give further details about the precise time of the death, but a flurry of activity had occurred around midnight local time (0400 AEST) at the tightly-guarded jail, where a steady rain drizzled overnight.
The trio were initially scheduled to be shot last month but authorities granted a last-minute reprieve - even following the preparation of their coffins - shortly after Pope Benedict XVI issued a plea for clemency, though a link was denied.
A spokesman for Pope Benedict XVI said the executions were a "defeat for humanity".
Why force these women into uncomfortable situations? This is racist and disrespectful. That we wouldn't feel uncomfortable in the same situation is beside the point.
So after we have banned the veil, what's next? How about Christian crosses, Jewish yarmulkes, Iroquois haircuts, hippies with long hair...
If women aren't allowed to wear a veil in public, then I guess Christians are going to have to change what women can wear when they get married. How else can wedding guests know for certain that the bride isn't really a suicider Christian jihadist?
If covering your face in public is such a big security problem, then perhaps we should also ban Halloween.
LancerNo it isn't racist! Turkey, a predominantly muslim country has long banned the wearing of veils AND headscarves in schools, universities, public offices, and from government functions. Is that racist?!! Tunisia, another muslim country, banned men and women form wearing "religious attire" including the the headscarf at schools and public offices. Authorities say the ban is not aimed at a display of religious belief but against "extremist religious ways of dressing. Is that racist?!![/QUOTE]
Absolutely, l couldn't have said it better myself!
--LancerThe fact that historical Muslim countries have issues with the veil and hijab, only serves to highlight the extreme political aspects of Britain's Muslims, who stridently demand the right to wear the far more religiously extreme nikab or face-covering veil. Britain has a long history of accepting immigrants from foreign lands. It seems it is only the muslims who have refused to integrate and prefer seperatism.
Perhaps muslims should be grateful that we haven't followed the example of Turkey and Tunisia. But, of course, they won't be. They'll just continue to play the role of the perpetual victim.
I totally agree with you, this is about intolerance and discrimination of our society. And it is time people say enough is enough!
hey, she could have been a he...you just never know...
