Muslims celebrating Christmas

Perhaps,if you were living amongst these "other religions" in far off backward,tribal or recidivist locations,then you could accept some of this stuff as "pretty standard".

No lad, I live in a place where, in my lifetime, priests were able to rape children with impunity and only suffer a change of location as the punishment, where homsexuals could go to prison for acting on their sexuality, where women are forced to give birth to dead babies and where we shut up our pubs twice a year because of the rules of the religion followed by 80% of the population. The muslim religion is simply a decade or so behind us. And that's just Ireland. You should see the kind of christianity they practice in the good old USA.

No, I'll treat all religion for what it is, a bunch of stories. I'll instead focus my fear and anger on the people who decide to use it to further their psychopathic tendencies.

I was out drinking last night with two Muslims. Not everyone who follows the faith follows it to the letter. They go full Christmas just like everyone else.

Never miss a chance to demonise them, good man.

I don't have the desire,nor the ability to demonise anybody.

Any demonising,in this case,is more than catered for by the wilder-eyed adherents themselves.

One might wonder why the Floggers,in these cases,cannot find themselves confident enough in the practice of their religion to full face masks ?

Perhaps they really are demons ?

Good man Captain.

I agree 100%

However,I very much doubt that you'll get close enough to the likes of this lad, to have much effect on his tendencies....

With mainstream non-Muslim faiths losing adherents by the jig time,it falls to the likes of Mr Ahmeed to carry the standard for psychopaths everywhere in the practice of their faiths.

Not much difference between the place you lived in,Captain,and the place the likes of Mr Ahmeed would seek to see you remain in forever,is there ?

As I said I am a bit racist so this brought a bit of happiness too me. I'm working hard not to be racist

It’s easy not to be racist. I’ve been not racist for more years than I can remember. Never had to work at it at all.

Not so easy for someone that has had it planted in them throughout their childhood by parents unfortunately.

We had some Muslim neighbours recently, from Pakistan. They moved out when the husband took a job outside of Dublin. Really nice people. The food they cooked was amazing. Kids all palled around with our little one.

Surprised we didn’t get beheaded actually, looking back.

Do you still have to live by the rules of Sharia law?

Careful now, declaring yourself as not racist usually only means one thing!

But seriously, I don't think I've ever heard someone who wasn't a racist say "I'm not (a) racist "
