I’m sure that if the JNF was facing such a position then you’d be leading a campaign.

So sad that people don’t see HP for what it is.

So to Sid and all those that thought HP was a place for raising such issues you can see for your own selves what they truly think.

I wonder if Dave T supporters such as Ms. Newton will now rethink their positions????

Should InterPal be subject to the legal process or mob law?

I wouldn’t accuse most people here — even ones I have clashed with on occasion — of setting out to be tribal warriors but they have sometimes given the wrong impression.

I’m glad that you recanted from calling people ‘tribal warriors’ without naming them specifically. It was a pejorative phrase and didn’t seem suitable for the people here who are on the whole good people, even when they say things I might not agree with, as far as the writers here are concerned.

Interpal faces the unfair closure of its accounts by LloydsTSB without having been found guilty of any crime. Even though 2 million Muslims and I don’t know how many Palestinians have helped bail them out of their mess.

Surely innocent until proven guilty applies.

Come on DaveT get campaigning on HP and show us Muslims you know what it is like and stand with us on a major issue of unfairness.

i’m fairly sure i’m to the left of david t politically but to the right religiously, so according to your definition, i expect you’d consider me a racist, too, so i’d actually like you to say it out loud if you think so.

Huh? i dont consider u a racist. but if u were in the habit of making it ur duty to defend those actions of the israeli state which served to perpetuate and extend a system of apartheid and racial segregation i would no doubt change my mind.

besides i write quite pretty things when i intend oh blind, biased, bilesome and righteously indignant one. how are the beans? toast?

neo-literacy: A characteristic of someone who is drunk on their own alleged ‘educational’ superiority

That sums you up perfectly, fugstar. To a degree that is comedic, and uncanny. A case of projection I think.

Here is a definition for you:

When Muslim A sees Muslim B criticise extremist organisations such as the al Muhajiroun, Hizb ut Tahrir, Jamaat e Islami, Hezbollah or Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood etc for their anti-Islamic activities, Muslim A curls his lip, oozes bile and proceeds to call Muslim B a brown sahib/coconut/munafiq/kafir/apostate/colonised/drunk on their own alleged ‘educational’ superiority etc.

In this case, Muslim A is a takfiri.

Bananabrain, in general I comment here for the same sort of reasons.

‘i think that PP and HP have more in common than you care to admit.’

I admit it was the case in the early days. Surely not now?

The only label i remember characterising your textually expressed religious character with is ‘skin deep’. And that is a result of your dogmatic secularist approach to everything, which you very well know.

but does it feel better to play the alleged ‘prog’?

I’m sorry you had a bad 90s, but your muslimosis (sickness of muslims and all their doings) is not my doing, it is more your responsibility than my doing. Your (past)abdications and (present)cluelessness are noted and probably linked.

Never have you distinguished a significant positive element is modern or nonmodern islamic thought for your readers, you are pretty hopeless.

hmmm

neo-literacy
A characteristic of someone who is drunk on their own alleged ‘educational’ superiority. A common impediment of the Captive and Colonised Mind, it lends the afflicted thought and writing a circular, zealous and libelous ring. On close examination the lack of substance becomes clear, the houses are empty.

Web 2.0 has promoted the neo-literate, who actually doesn’t want to understand or learn anything, into incompetance. Enabled by self-selection and intellectually ghettoised by malice, the noisy media, propaganda and his own bad antenna, the neo-literate is only able to mislead people with his tricks.

jai – i liked that too. but i prefer “demonositude”, it has a sort of don king splendiferoutasticity to it.

You could take Bananabrain’s position and suggest some sort of closer link between PP and HP. Or you could take the view, which I believe many do, PP is nothing like HP.

that’s not precisely what i mean, refresh. i think that PP and HP have more in common than you care to admit. the major differences are a) the dominant perspectives of the denizens b) the below-the-line policy and c) the level of invective, which is rather linked to b). one of the reasons i post here, rather than HP, is that people are more polite and considered, although on balance, i disagree about the same amount for various different reasons. like many, i don’t enjoy constant firefights with people who have no intention of opening their minds to possibility (morgoth springs to mind) in an environment in which name-calling and abuse take the place of reasoned argument, as much as i enjoy invective from time to time. plus, i don’t have much to learn from the people at HP, whereas over here there is a good selection of people who i can at least respect whether i agree with them or not.

also – it’s kind of “brown” here, which is valuable to me as i don’t have access to such a forum in my daily life at this point.
