I see no reason to move the goal posts - I will patiently point out that I'm challenging the claim made in the OP that Pakistani and Bangladeshi immigrants have extra children FOR benefits and that cutting these benefits will reduce these 'extra births'. I've seen no evidence. I've seen a lot of the...

shafique

eh - sometimes you do insist on saying stupid things. You asked where the transnational religious terrorist groups were - and I gave you one group of terrorists who export their terrorism from the West to the East. Baruch Goldstein was a white American religious terrorist and attacked the Palestinia...

Thanks John - very balanced and logical posts. It is uplifting to listen to Kaufman's speech again. I agree with your, Bora's and DDS points completely. I'd just add that I was disappointed, but not surprised, that Bibi peppered his speech with 'Islamic terror' etc and used the same-old hype that is...

I'll start a new thread Berrin. This one is about questions eh is avoiding about statements he's made about his new beliefs.

Cheers,

Berrin posted in 'Where's Wally' thread and made some interesting points in response to my post which stated that for me, religion should be logical. Everything should be questioned and thus far I've found no illogicalities in Islam. My view is that God created logic and would not want us to believe...

shafique

You're still confusing the evidence of larger families within some groups with the evidence requested. No one disputed that some families are larger than others - what I questioned was whether the larger families were BECAUSE of benefits, and whether cutting benefits would get rid of the 'extra birt...

shafique

Well, desperate arguments are all FD have left. Israel is allowing illegal colonies to be built on land that is under Military Occupation and has for years sought to blame the victims for the on-going Military Occupation. The spin is no longer working. DDS is right - just like his avatar, one can im...

Windbag has been exposed. Again. But just one point of correction - I've never said I don't support British troops. My dad was in the Territorials and my uncles fought in the British Army in WW2. BM knows this and is now ranting. Indeed, I once asked her whether she hated the Muslim English soldiers...

shafique

Doh!

Actually eh - you're wrong, again. Firstly you either haven't read or understood the argument of physical conditions being 'just right'. It is not just the likelihood of our earth's conditions being 'just right' but that the universe itself has physical properties that are 'just right'. From the wei...

There is a problem with benefit dependancy in the UK - indeed my oft referred to post about the 'feral underclass' was highlighting this fact and that their culture was eroding English values. One of the features is indeed having children for benefits - especially social housing. The 'feral undercla...

shafique

My first post started with a statement that the Baroness is entitled to her view. I then asked to see what evidence there was that the immigrants she cited DID have children BECAUSE of benefits. I even explained what form this evidence could take - eg looking at numbers of children in families in Pa...

shafique

There you go again, exposing your extremism. Kahanist Terror groups are listed by your own government as terrorists - and have carried out Terrorist attacks on US soil (indeed, they've carried out MORE terror attacks - bombings and killings etc - than Muslim terrorists - as we saw in the FBI stats)....

shafique

^DDS - it's called desperate attempt at 'smoke and mirrors'. Let's try and distract away from the main issue: the Military Occupation and illegal Colonies being built on occupied land. As a side note - watching the French coverage of the recent news, they don't use euphemisms found in the English co...

shafique

But just one point of correction - I've never said I don't support British troops. My dad was in the Territorials and my uncles fought in the British Army in WW2. BM knows this and is now ranting. Indeed, I once asked her whether she hated the Muslim English soldiers serving in the army today.. the...

shafique

Hey herve- the quote I gave showed that in the discussion quoted, certain members disagreed with the view given (I highlighted that bit in red too). Did that bit confuse you? As I said, I agree with the view that in this case it was within Islamic teachings. If there was a truly Islamic alternative ...

shafique

herve, you've been punked. You didn't say that you didn't believe me - you said that I'd never expressed support for British troops. you never said anything to support them. You admit now that you lied. oh , I remember what you said, I just don't beleive you. herve - you must tell us when you're des...

shafique

Oh what a short memory you have eh. But nice attempt at changing the goal posts - I said that the Jewish terrorists carried out more attacks in the USA than Muslim terrorists (and these included bombs and assassinations): http://www.dubaiforums.com/dubai-politics-talk/terrorism-the-the-facts-t41878-...

shafique

I said I view my religion and my nationality equally. What's wrong with that? 42% of American Christians say they are Christian first. If we ever find out what eh's new religion is - then we can ask him whether he's one of the 42% Christians who put their religion above their nationality. (Oh, eh is...

shafique

I'm glad we've cleared up the issue of the number of terrorist attacks carried out by Jewish (religiously motivated) terrorists in the USA is indeed greater than those carried out by Muslim terrorists. You asked about other terrorist groups. Now that you're asking about how many they killed, I guess...

shafique

LOL - you're dreaming (again) herve and have been caught out in one lie already. Do you want to go for another lie? If so, please quote me saying what you accuse me of, and show how that equals not supporting our troops. I absolutely did support the winner of the 2006 Israel/Lebanon war - but that w...

shafique

I'm wondering whether our resident young loon is among these guys - I mean, this is less bizare than talking donkeys.. surely.. These are people who want to move the world back to the 1250s :shock: Galileo got it wrong: Catholics Scientists have got it wrong – Earth really is the centre of the unive...

shafique

Islam's teachings on incest are completely logical. God says clearly that Muslims cannot have s.ex with sisters, mothers etc - it is very explicit. Nothing illogical there at all. As for the historical accounts of Adam and Eve, that's a different question - but nice try eh - we already have the thre...

shafique

You lied. Period.

Now you're going for another lie.

As I said, facts, not fiction.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

You're speculation is interesting, but it is still speculation. However, the fact remains - it is Israel that is militarily occupying Palestine and not the other way round. As the title says, Israel should change. The excuses for the Military Occupation and illegal colonisation aren't even remotely ...

Bora - thanks for defining anecdotal for us and quoting me saying I didn't present my anecdotes as evidence and that I was still waiting for any evidence that the Baroness was correct in her view.

benwj - nice theory. Shame it's not backed up by any evidence.

Cheers,

Nothing weird about my 21st century beliefs benwj - I do believe in the incredible story that we're all created from the same matter and at one point in time there was the big bang which started the universe off. But it is quaint to see that there are a core of American Christians who are keeping th...

shafique

^That's an impressive bit of whataboutery there Bora - you've forecasted that there will be bloodier wars in the future that the US will not be involved in to dismiss a current statement of fact. :D :) Nice one. Perhaps your prediction will come true. I suspect that there will be bloodier wars, but ...

shafique

Pakistan is failing on so many levels - I hope that they get an equivalent of an 'Arab spring', but so far it doesn't look hopeful. There is corruption throughout and only a few rays of light. What the General confirms is what most commentators knew and were writing for years. India has been quite v...
