^Why was Andy Gray fired then - are British men insecure about women and can't take criticism of women? :roll: Islamophobes do like their selective version of events. :) Man makes insulting comments, man is fired. Applies to Andy Gray and this numpty too. Why the selective application of your logic?...

Thought provoking piece in Haaretz - contrasting the 'liberation' of Arabs and the decline of the power of the West. Interesting it says that the 'West' is betraying Mubarak who was/is a 'friend of the west'. The Arabs are being liberated while the West is in decline By Ari Shavit Two huge processes...

Andy Gray did not lose his job because he called a black person a name. Try and keep up young one. Andy Gray is in the UK, and lost his job recently - because of what he said about women. As I said, it just goes to show that Islamophobes can only make their arguments by ignoring facts and leaving lo...

Oh, and it is 'Twitter' not 'Tweeter' :roll: LOL, I've been holding that in for sometime now Don't hold back Munchkin. A tweet is a post or status update on Twitter. Shouldn't you be telling young eh this fact - he's the one that is confused, not DDS (or me). We both know the difference between a t...

Datta - this post is very similar to at least two previous threads with 'human form' in the title. Perhaps it is better to post this one in one of these threads - especially the ones where we've discussed this aspect before. (Also, please do not over-look the question I asked you about Hindu scriptu...

LOL I'd be embarrassed if I mistook Twitter for Tweeter or was caught out evading questions about Andy Gray being fired for his comments. Looking back at my posts - I didn't say Andy Gray was fired for calling anyone racist names - but stated the fact that his sexist comments got him fired. Does tha...

shafique

:roll: LOL - sorry I couldn't resist replying to the desperate post above - Please do your own research about Andy Gray. (Hint, he's not a manager of a football team - he was fired from Rupert Murdoch's Sky Sports tv station.) So - I repeat. 2 UK guys get fired for sexist comments, 1 UK guy gets fir...

(Also, please do not over-look the question I asked you about Hindu scriptures which talk about eating Beef - in the past) First of all the scriptures you refer is written in sanskrit. Are you a sanskrit scholar? The interpreatation you give in the post as others said, how can it be correct ? No, I...

What will be very interesting to watch is what the new government in Egypt will do in relation to the siege of Gaza. If they open the borders, then the collective punishment of the Gazans that Israel wants to maintain will effectively be over (for practical purposes of goods, at least - the marine c...

You really don't like it when your spin is exposed do you? I disagree with the letter writer - and categorically state that any form of terrorism is wrong. I have never condoned any Jewish, Muslim, Atheist mother, father brother or son etc blowing up or otherwise harming or killing any civilian. Tha...

Thanks BM - you're not alone amongst those who think Andy and Richard's sacking is PC gone mad.. I really can't be bothered about football, tbh - and the most shocking aspect was discovering he was being paid over 1 million pounds for commentating!! :shock: Sky chose to sack him and Richard (and it ...

^and the references to beef?

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

^sorry Datta - but what has your reply got to do with the references from Hindu scriptures saying that it is ok to eat beef?

Let me ask it a different way - if those references are accurate, who and when was it decided to stop eating beef?

Cheers,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTszskhUrd0 Louis Theroux spends time with a small and very committed subculture of ultra-nationalist Jewish settlers. He discovers a group of people who consider it their religious and political obligation to populate some of the most sensitive and disputed areas of t...

^Thanks, I do understand that people mis-interpret scripture. However, this general statement does not address the references to eating beef provided. May I ask again - when and who finally decided that eating beef would no longer be allowed in Hinduism? The earlier scriptures are quite clear - beef...

It is possible to go without s.ex and remain celibate for one's whole life - it is also possible to survive on just one meal a day (and indeed, there are biological arguments that both these extreme activities can have positive health benefits). On the spiritual side, reducing food intake and remain...

There already are documentaries that have been filmed in Gaza - http://www.dubaiforums.com/dubai-politics-talk/gaza-strophe-t42516.html What is fascinating is that in the first 10 minutes we have agreement from the 'settler' that the East Jerusalem settlements are illegal under international law, th...

The extremist said they don't consider Arabs (which include Christians and Muslim Arabs, remember) to be equal to Jews - as the Jews were the 'chosen people'. Trying to spin this as Arabs 'have less rights' is quite alarming. It is true that those living under Military Occupation have less rights an...

Datta - you haven't addressed the fact that Hindu scripture talks of animal sacrifices (along the lines of Judaism and Islam) - where the flesh is eaten. Indeed, Brahmins are recorded to have recommended beef for certain ailments. Just repeating your current belief that 'it is a sin' etc is not shed...

shafique

^That is logical Mel. However, note that Datta said specifically: .., if any argument should be accepted as truth, it should withstand powerful logic and analysis. When you kill any living being , you are a sinner. Never kill any living being for food. When you kill, you are a sinner and is a killer...

shafique

Datta - with respect, you are still avoiding the simple question: When and who changed the instructions found in Hindu Scriptures in regards eating beef? You seem to be saying that the earlier scriptures are wrong when they say eating beef is ok, and recommended. I understood that a lettuce leaf is ...

shafique

datta, you said that any theory must be able to stand the test of logic. I agree with you on this point. Thank you for clarifying that your belief is that EATING flesh is not a sin, but it is the act of killing the animal that is a sin. However, I draw your attention to the Hindu scriptures quoted b...

Hmm: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2011/feb/05/david-cameron-speech-criticised-edl Timing is suspect - but the Tories have had a kicking of late, what with the NHS reforms and the silly policy of selling off our national forests.. so a speech on multi-culturalism a few hours of an EDL rally is ...

Thanks for confirming that the Rigveda does say that when oxen and cows are slaughtered at a wedding. Can you clarify who does the slaughtering and who eats the meat? Why are you not addressing all the other quotes: Manusmriti (Chapter 5 / Verse 30) says, “It is not sinful to eat meat of eatable ani...

^Would the child of a Pakistani father and white English lady be classed as a 'mongrel'?

Or is any mixed race child a mongrel?

It is a shame that your parents didn't send you to diplomacy classes.

I think I did exactly that - I claimed that Logan said she wasn't raped and presented the evidence. I even highlighted it in red. I'm waiting for any evidence that the youtube rant wasn't a complete loon fantasy. Here it is again. South African-born journalist Lara Logan has spoken about the “darkes...

Here's the reference to the loon fantasy: However, another purported video that was described by a controversial YouTube video claims that a bearded man ripped the top off the reporter and began slapping her face and breasts. He then pinned her to the ground, and by this time she stopped resisting, ...
