You can name you kids after MH as its a sign of respect - akin to latinos calling their Kids Jesus - you are not actually saying that yer kid is a prophet


naming a teddy after MH could be viewed ( in a suinty way by some ) to be attempting to create an effigy of a prophet for fetishment purposes and thats against the rules, cos its Idolatry and thats expressly forbidden



It gets complicated here, but its all to do with images or recreations of living things mocking rather than glorifying AL, cos hes made them and any attempt to copy his work is sort of koran copyright and a big sin ( depending on how you interpret it of course )

our government and Royal Family were browning nosing King Fahd of Saudi Arabia


In fact, the Queen et al were just doing as they were told. I am sure they are not that enamoured with the Saudi regime, nor with that of the Chinese etc. It's very unlikely the Queen would say 'I'm not going to shake that man's hand/break bread with him/put him up in the palace'. Nero

But one has to be embracing of all cultures surely.


Even if they endorse the oppression of women and rape?


Well apparently yes, according to that lobotomising, barbiturate of an interpretation of modern liberalism that is so popular.


(Apologies for my causticity but growing up in Africa gives one a slightly jaded view point on these things.)

IT depends on what subject is being discussed



If its got Gods backing, then you cant critisise


Example of belief held :


BNP = extreme views, but NO god given authority , thefore you can slag them off & gag them


Radical Islam ( or hard line Catholisism or US Born Again Christinaity ) = extreme views, but HAVE god Given permission to do it, so you should be carful not to offend


MY opinion ? - Let them all speak and debate in public if they want to hold such views and broadcast them, bu that might leave them exposed to some unfortunate questions that they will not be able to dodge

IMO religion is just another word for hypocrisy.


Take the CofE for instance. Wants to be exempt from the law regarding discrimination of gays yet in the same breath they tell us only god can judge. The only religion that's ever made any sense to me is Budhism, partly because god b*ll*cks not included.

Any religion that professes to know right from wrong, while preaching intolerance and hatred, is just plain wrong. If they have a human written book as your source of divine rules, then tell me they ain't human rules. Add to that how much interpretation can change in a moment (blessed are the cheesemakers) leave alone in the course of a century or two (they don't refer to cheesemakers literally but makers of all dairy products), throw in some stuffy councils 500 years and 800 years and 1500 years after the facts, or learned interpretations 1400 years later, and well, you end up with nice teachers jailed for playing with teddy bears.


Regards Snorky's final point, I'm with you. All this inciting-hatred law stuff is counter-productive. You can't kill ideas by imprisoning the progenitors and preachers of those ideas. You have to allow open discourse else all you serve to do is create martyrs and glorify those ideas.

Agreed.


I was reading that thing about Fred Phelpes, and was surprised to hear about the good work he did as a lawer for black rights, and started to think where did it all go wrong, but then you read about why he was disbarred, and it becomes clear that the man is obviously a nasty nasty psycho!


I remember Louis Theroux getting a few minutes with him, and you could see the anger and hate in his eyes at being questioned!

Its stone age isnt it .


Apart from the specific shooting bit, the sentiments are positively troglodytic.


but we have to rewpect it cos its a belief you see - god told them it was OK to do this


Anyone fancy Joining the Church of Everlasting Snorky ( ED branch ) ? - where we basically disregard all licencing, smoking & soft drug laws and get ripped to the gills every Friday nights with complete impunity - cos its our belief - God told us to do this as part of the weekly worship.

    • Our lovely 4 bed family house is available to rent for 3 weeks in August. It is newly refurbished. The dates are flexible. We have just listed it on air b and b. It is near North Dulwich station so an easy walk to Dulwich village and Herne Hill. If anyone is interested in taking it for the whole time we can do a deal on the price and if you book it not through air b and b it can be cheaper. https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/1451281327309758537?check_in=2025-08-08&check_out=2025-08-15&search_mode=regular_search&source_impression_id=p3_1750936175_P3KnShX5BZbLc4Of&previous_page_section_name=1000&federated_search_id=a8509fed-1030-4cce-a3e8-57cadd5a1693

    • Hello, I'm from Ireland and would love my children to be able to know the language - I can speak it but I'm not so good at teaching it. If there's anyone local who used to teach Irish at primary school (preferably Connemara Irish) and who'd like to tutor 3 boys aged 7-10 for an hour or two a week please do let me know. Thanks, Sarah
