Do you mean this question you posted?

Re: Poppy-burning: What a disgrace
 

That's the one.

Re: Poppy-burning: What a disgrace
 

You appear to have provided a one-sided answer to a question you asked, and when it was pointed out you had missed the balancing part of the answer out, you stated the part quoted was sufficient enough in regards to the question you asked.....

It would appear you were trying to provoke anti-Islamic feelings, Gary.

Re: Poppy-burning: What a disgrace
 

Please let's not get into 'all' muslims again when we're discussing just a handful. even if it is your Birthday.

I quoted a Muslim as saying "Muslims are not allowed to participate in anything that is clearly British nationalism." so there's a doubt as to whether having a poppy painted on a mosque would be acceptable. which is what I said "I find that hard to believe"

Re: Poppy-burning: What a disgrace
 

Gary, I could quote 'a Christian' as saying it's acceptable to shoot and kill doctors outside abortion clinics where "preborn children’s lives [are] in imminent danger."

You can always find an individual nut-job rent-a-quote. It doesn't mean that the intelligent thing to do is to treat their words as mainstream and significant, just because they happen to fit your personal prejudice.

You have no justification for claiming there's a doubt about the acceptability of putting a poppy on a Mosque, just because you managed to dig up a quote by someone who asserts it.

Re: Poppy-burning: What a disgrace
 

So because he's a nut job I'm to blame for quoting him? you know for certain that it's not true?
where in Shahid's statement does he say that it's not true for all Muslims?
don't many muslims have different opinions of things as it is, where some may believe one thing is forbidden, and the rest think it's not?

Dewsbury MP Shahid Malik, the Governments first-ever Muslim minister, said: As patron of the Royal British Legion in Dewsbury Ill be selling poppies in the town centre this Saturday. I think its really important to remember the freedoms we enjoy come at a price and sometimes the ultimate price.
The truth is that no matter what your background, we all must remember that people died for this country and the freedoms we hold dear and that is why Im proud to wear my poppy.

He's not a nut job so we take what he says as being true, and for all. as far as I can tell he is speaking for himself. and he suggests.

and this part that Hugh put in his post was not said by either. it was said by the person who wrote the article.
However, other Muslims in Britain so not share the same opinion.


Of course I do.

Gary, not for the the first time, I'm left thinking that there's more chance of twanging an elastic band onto the surface of the moon than cutting through the tortured shell of illogic that encases your brain.

Re: Poppy-burning: What a disgrace
 

Thanks. pity you can't debate back though :)

Re: Poppy-burning: What a disgrace
 

You're a shining wit, though, I'll give you that. ;)

Re: Poppy-burning: What a disgrace
 

Did you misspell that.:D

Re: Poppy-burning: What a disgrace
 

Doubt it, it's not exactly a compliment these days...

Re: Poppy-burning: What a disgrace
 

I was just thinking of a slightly different arrangement of the letters in shining wit.:D
