But she needs help.

I’m sure I heard something …

Can’t cover it all here.

My main problem with Islam is that it stops people, particularly women, being themselves.

And yes, I have a humanities degree. And I think I’m intelligent, or at least quick witted.

Being dishonest, bigotted and ignorant is not the way to conduct yourself.

But it makes you more interesting.

I have a feeling I want to get to know you a little better.

So Katy tell us about yourself. We can leave your affiliations to the end. Perhaps you could start with your childhood, parents, schools, mentors and ideologies.

I have a feeling you are an intelligent woman, probably with a humanities degree.

Please …

If I was going to disguise myself, would I pick a name that was so similar?

I’ve got about four aliases but everyone knows it’s me. My real name’s Katy. Bet you didn’t know that.

I respected you for your honesty – although pitied you for your bigotry.

To claim not to be Old Peculiar is beyond the pale. You didn’t have to. Your bigotry has come to be expected – so it wasn’t necessary.

Old Peculiar and Old Pickler link back to the Blogs in the Mary Jackson category.

It was silly and dishonest.

I feel betrayed.

What a foolish thing to say. Its almost akin to saying that your house isn’t your own, but belongs to the crown. And had Hitler got his way it would then have been owned by him.

As if the Ottomans or then the British owned the land and the people.

“Don’t be afraid.”

No don’t be afraid. But do have the courage to tackle OP on her bigotry.

To leave some of her racist rantings littering these blogs is to have us all smeared.

Don’t be afraid. Shout it from the roof tops. It isn’t the first time and won’t be the last.

It wasn’t “their” land in the first place. It belonged to the Ottomans for 200 years. Then it passed to, among others, the British. Jews bought this mainly barren land from absentee landlords at inflated prices. Jewish immigration brought increasing prosperity, which is why more Arabs moved in.

Most of the Arabs called “Palestinians” now living in the area that was once occupied by Jordan (the West Bank) and the area that was once occupied by Egypt (the Gaza strip) are descendants of very recent immigrants. There are lots of them because they have huge families, despite being “poor” (hardly poor compared to sub-Saharan Africa and very rich indeed for people who don’t work).

Well, OK, ignored and also scorned too; the two weapons of the HP inquistion…

Anyway, that’s Old Peculier, not me.

Is there really two of you or is this just a split-personality thing?

P.

I’m afriad to say that OP is right to point that John Ware never said “Hands up who wants to be a Mujahadin?” which detracts from Osama Saeed claim of “Ware’s [sicking] goading of young boys”.

For instance was the Times “goading” UK Muslims by commissioning a survey of opinons?

I simply believe that John Ware turned over a stone and showed some ugly things underneath. No one is suprised and no one really expected to see any different. But that doesn’t mean that John was wrong or evil to have done so. It is just what investigative journalism is all about.

As for “bad BBC” and doing “their reputation for bias no good”, well their remit for diversity translates into them occasionally airing programmes like this.

It will be very interesting to see how this pans out, as Interpal have brought the lawyers out against Paranoma. This will result in yet more light being thrown onto the subject, which I believe is a good thing. I’m sure that Osama Saeed would disagree.

can’t you read Old P or are you selective in which posts you choose to respond to>

p.s. if you got off that rubbish Blogger platform and on to wordpress you might find other ways to deal with spam.

That is certainly what it seemed like here. Funny blog by the way.
