Op; you ignored my last post so I'll ask you again.
Would you have started this thread if KH had been slagging off Christians?

Spectre8 · 06/06/2016 22:11

the moment you do not follow the party line when it comes to Muslims and Islam you are automatically labelled racist. This behaviours has been slowly but surely drop fed to us through the media etc. such now that anyone can say anything about Christianity and nothing is said about it but the moment it is about Islam the reaction is immediately 'your racist'.

I don't think Surfer was derailing....blame me if anyone!! She was just responding to me.

And Ego I as a Catholic Christian certainly don't feel privileged !! ESPECIALLY not as a Catholic in NI. Confused

I haven't read this article as the topic doesn't grab me, but sometimes I agree with Katie Hopkins and sometimes I disagree with her. Depends what it is she's on about. Sometimes she's very right and sometimes she's very wrong. It's ok to agree or disagree with her, no need to compare her to Hitler just because you disagree with what she's saying. Free speech.

I like her robust approach to parenting, for example. I like that she doesn't do fussy eating in her house, I strongly agree with her on that. I like that she shows both her strong side and her vulnerable side - when she writes about her children I identify completely and find her very moving. When she writes about immigrants I disagree with her very strongly. But I agree with her about the general wussiness of society these days and holding onto what matters most (family).

She's a woman who's not afraid to wade in there. I think she was in the military at some point - you wouldn't expect her to be a wilting flower. She'd be less harshly judged if she were a man. Kind of like Mrs Thatcher. I'm sure she's not surprised that there are people who hate her.

I dont even bother reading that hateful Plopkins shite

Spectre8 · 06/06/2016 22:14

start a thread on here saying you want to fast for 30 days as you believe it will make you healthier or whatever reason you want to give and then say how its unfair your employers are not letting you time of work as you feel a bit weak....you will get absolutely no sympathy from mumsnetters on here ...zilch support. But if its because a Muslim is doing it because of their own belief its perfectly fine.

Waltermittythesequel · 06/06/2016 22:14

Hitler??

That's that then.

Ego Catholic Christians get insulted ALL THE TIME!!! And all that happens is people pile on to add more insults.

Christians - especially the hated Catholic kind - are not the privileged species you like to think.

That's not true Spectre.
Everybody who comes here with a kind of fasting diet of this sort will be slaughtered.

No one will ever tell you it's a good idea to refuse food and drink for long hours and binge eat at night.

Pigsbum · 06/06/2016 22:19

I fucking loathe KH.

She joined Sandhurst but was discharged due to her epilepsy so she never joined the military, shame really as she might have learnt some tolerance.

Sorry, Spectre, I read it wrong.

LiveLifeWithPassion · 06/06/2016 22:21

Ive never known any Muslims who expect time off during Ramadan.
If they're feeling unwell or not able to function well then they break their fast.
Atrocities committed during Ramadan have often shocked Muslims as its meant to be a time for prayer, reflection and charity. The victims have often been Muslims too.
You can't blame law abiding Muslims who find meaning in fasting for that.

Spectre8 · 06/06/2016 22:22

No but they will tell you its fine if Muslims get extra time off work if they are finding it hard to concentrate and its ok if they do and they don't mind, yet someone who does it for another reason would get hung up to dry on here if they wanted some time of work for feeling weak etc.

Pigsbum · 06/06/2016 22:22

Thank goodness she never made it that far Ego!

Alisvolatpropiis · 06/06/2016 22:23

I'd have thought the real issue is lack of water not lack of food re Ramadan.

People can live quite a long time on significantly less food than Muslims do during Ramadan.

I've been hospitalised for dehydration (as a child) and ever since I've not been without a drink. Can't go an hour, can't imagine going a full day.

Alisvolatpropiis · 06/06/2016 22:24

Oh should add - I think KH is an awful person who makes her money peddling utter shit to the lowest common denominator.
