I’m really glad you’ve uploaded it, Daphne. It really is nauseating of some people to go on like this!
Frankly, I’m pretty much against all organised religions, which to me are simply mind-control. Islam is particularly mind-numbing, with its insistence on absolute obedience and conning things by rote. I stand to be corrected, since I haven’t done any comparative theology courses but I’m also under the impression that Islam is pretty hard on ‘unbelievers’ – something which is used by terrorists to justify their horrendous acts. It’s a sad fact that most modern terrorists are Moslems who believe that they’re doing God a service by killing, maiming and terrorizing ‘His enemies’.
So I, for one do not like this ‘in your face’ demonstration of religion. A religion which I associate with 9/11, the Taliban and the abuse and belittlement (give me a better word) of women. A dour religion based on dislike, revenge and retribution.
That is not to say I am against the freedom to practice one’s religion in public. I just don’t like it. I don’t think it will do any good.
Hear Hear, Tim Ripard.
Just one slight disagreement though: I find all public shows to be too much. One does not need to make a spectacle to pay homage to one’s god. Same argument holds for the Catholic Church, with all its pageantry. When one converses with one’s god, it should be in private, unless of course the object of the exercise is to impress others with our piousness.
“THEY ARE RUINING OUR COUNTRY”. “They”. Irony?

Now that’s what I call original thinking. It must have taken a bevy of very heavy brains to come up with this innovative earth-shattering idea.
[Daphne – Yes, I know. But if what the politicians were looking for is a report to blame for a decision (or back it up) then this is the one. There are good names there and it’s led by Martin Scicluna.]
“WE MUST ACT FAST, WE MUST ACT NOW” – and do what exactly? Burn a few cars or doors?
