Spineless
 

I can't believe we're not allowing this bloke in to the country. ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7885918.stm?lss )

Even more bizarre is that you can be prosecuted in Holland for saying anything critical about Islam. A religion which couldn't be more critical about anyone who's a 'kaffar', or non-believer.

Politicians are so frickin' spineless.

If you google 'fitna' you'll get the movie that caused the controversy.

Re: Spineless
 

Granted some of the quotes in Fitna may be metaphorical or taken out of context but there is (what seems a not minute but smallish) minority it reflects, & may depict some truth for some of these. Although I strongly disagree with some of his opinions I think if it'd been up to me I'd have let him in & had a discussion.

We should never be afraid of freedom of speech.

although we let the **** with the hook in

Re: Spineless
 

This was discussed on the Jremy Vine show on Radio 2. I wish freedom of speech meant just that! Yes, he may be controversial, but I would rather hear his argument than have the Gov't tell me I can't.

He's not allowed in for being anti-islamic.

Has no one noticed that Islam is Anti-everything-but Islam?!

Just goes to show, blowing people up works. Now everyone is too scared they might offend the delicate sensibilities of these terrorist groups.

ooooooo you can't say things like that;) you'll get the thought police going

We had a talk from a Muslim Inspector a few weeks ago at work. It was very interesting in that, from his point of view, and that of Muslims in general, the Qur'an teaches a peacfull approach to life. His view was that "extremists" were mis-interpreting the Qur'an to meet their own ideals.

The Muslim Council of Britain are clear on that point. Islam is a peacefull belief system, not just a religion, more a way of life.
