Argh Islamophobia.... fucking made up shite.

Really drives me nuts that people are not allowed to object to Islam without being accused of ignorance and/or fear.

I may have posted about headscarves, they are a particular pet hate of mine.

Rater provident Xposting there I thought Vicar

Then I remembered rightly, Posie...

And it's not Islam that you're objecting to but elements of it, or fundamental elements of it, surely?

i wish i didnt have to go to work sometimes....

gwan....someone tell me what i missed cos of bloody work.....

Want to join my 56+ club LadyBeagle? Are you older than me? (August 3rd)

Posie I assume you are objecting to the inability to discuss a religion and disagree with parts of it without being labelled a bigot?

I agree pet peeve, especially as those objecting aren't usually Muslim, and it just creates more issues!

What the blardy hell has gone on now.

Humour comes in all shapes and sizes.

I fecking hate Miranda but does anyone care and will the BBC stop showing it...NO and I am bloody offended.

Also my husband is a dirty forrener and I wish he would feck off back to where he came from sometimes and I tell him, but he won't go...am I funny or just a bitch? Over to you MN jury

Of course it's elements, but they are rather fundamental elements!! And for the record it's not just Islam, I'm pretty offensive right across the religious spectrum!

And yes the inability to discuss or criticise religion, especially Islam (who seems to hold the monopoly on PO), without being called a bigot (or an Islamaphobe).

As Len says "seven".

A fellow Miranda-loather!

Can you breathe alright in there?

Posie I think it very much depends on how you put your discussion/argument accross.

If you are; ignorant, bigoted, rude, or aggressive and offering/spouting ill informed offensive bile then yes you are an Islamaphobe and a cunt.

However, if you are after an adult discussion, have researched the religion and can offer an informed opinion or perspective. Then no you are not an Islamaphobe or a cunt and if you are accused of this it is best just to ignore, ignore, ignore as the people you are talking with are certainly not worthy of your time.

I have never seen your religious posts so cannot say which of the catergories you fall into.

Posie I don't know what "seven" means but I shall pretend I do and nod knowingly

Scrambled I am very happy in there as I cannot see or hear anything Miranda related, I shall come and hide in your bussom whenever I feel scared that Miranda is coming

I'm definitely a cunt!

I'm pretty well informed though, have a theology degree, but am an anti theist.

Miranda!! Is that you?

Oh your so funny, there goes another rib.

scrambled can I hide in your bosom to block out Miranda as well?

DH loves that programme. I feel that may be grounds for divorce tbh

Lovely I shall put you under my cunt, but educated catergory and happily engage with you in the future

Grounds for divorce? I'd happily enter it in a murder plea. I bloody hate Miranda.

I think recognising that i sometimes am a cunt helps prevents me from being an utter cunt.

I am not an utter cunt. I am almost sure.

I love Miranda.

I have never seen Miranda.

In fact I don't even know if I am correct in assuming it's a TV show.

I think liking Miranda, making up words to every song that comes on the radio and wearing a silk dressing gown will be my defense when I do actually murder him.

I was actually considering it last night whilst he was snoring like a fucking train only stopping to shout out random words.

I actually shouted back will you just shut the fuck up so loudly the dogs woke up and started barking.
Did he either wake up or shut up?

No he did not.

That is grounds for murder I think. I have watched a lot of Waking the Dead and I think they would just all agree that it seemed a reasonable response given the snorage. Trevor Eve seems like he thinks these things through.

See, we are universal cunts
