Denunciations of the programme as Islamophobic, followed by tireless sniggering evasions of the points raised therein. That is the disgusting modern left, and it’s not just the outer fringes, the BBC’s Any Questions was another exercise in whitewashing designed to give comfort to the preachers of hatred and those who give them a platform. Outside of the Telegraph there has been almost complete silence from the British media on what should be a major political and social scandal.

Should written out one hundred times daily by all the do godders from Saint Bob, I have just financed a war , downwards!

Doesn’t happen so much round my way. Mind you, they do like a gangland shooting or two on the Queen’s Crescent. Don’t think it’s for wont of marriage counselling sessions though.

This is what it’s like to be radically missing basic concepts. There is no concept of individual rights. There is no concept of the individual. There is no concept of rule-of-law.

Keep in mind that Mohammad himself broke his own rules and kept more than 4 wives.

Another example of the class divide in Islam is that in Islamic doctrine is in Islam’s version of the story of Jesus. Jesus didn’t die on the cross, he delegated that to a boy whom he disguised while Jesus himself went straight to heaven. So the underlying assumptions there is that suffering is for unimportant people, while important people like Jesus don’t even have to suffer the normal bonds of humanity such as death. Also note the other underlying assumption that youths are expendable.

I once read that every early Caliph died of being killed by his successor (not counting one that died young of illness) so in Islam no one is expecting the powerful to act well or lawfully.

“If they had concrete evidence that he was poisoned or some how maliciously murdered by the Mossad, wouldn’t the Palestinians be out in the streets demanding to avenge his death with Jewish blood (…like they really need another excuse to do that)? Why all the secrecy?”

I never said anyone had any concrete evidence for him being poisoned by anyone. Quite to the contrary – what I said was that most of the conspiracy theories currently around in Palestine about Yasser Arafat having been poisoned, which are not hugely widespread considering the overwhelming evidence that it was natural causes one way or the other, focus on claims that Mahmoud Abbas had him poisoned, not that Mossad did it. Plenty of Western anti-Zionists insist that Israel was responsible, just like they insist Israel is responsible for everything else – if Arafat died of AIDS, the anti-Zionists over here would probably claim (if they’re not claiming it already) that Israel created HIV as a biological weapon – but very few Palestinians believe that Israel did it for the simple reason that if they did, they did it at the most inopportune moment possible, just as he was attempting to renounce violence.

I’m not suggesting that AIDS is a GAY disease; This is how it is perceived in the middle east. You or I cannot control that perception. In Islam AIDS is considered a punishment from Alla for vile sexual behavior, not unlike some of the fundamentalist Christians in the west. Like YOU I don’t believe this, but if you want to educate these billions of people about the reality of AIDS, all the power to you.

The problem remains. The cause of Arafat’s death has never been published, even though there are many doctors in France that are concealing the facts. Why is it so controversial to reveal the cause of death of such an important historical figure? What are they trying to hide?

If they had concrete evidence that he was poisoned or some how maliciously murdered by the Mossad, wouldn’t the Palestinians be out in the streets demanding to avenge his death with Jewish blood (…like they really need another excuse to do that)? Why all the secrecy?
