That is for courts to decide. France is built upon freedom of speech but the Jewish group won their case in France, so clearly there is a line between freedom of speech and offensive speech. There are numerous laws now to stop racist speech, hate speech, etc.m all driven by minority groups...

Indeed but the 85% is of people registered as Catholic is it not? My parents are registered as Christina but are in fact atheists. Why should the church schools be self funded if the government wants the church to run the schools? If the government asks them to run schools then the government...

Thomas that was fascinating thank you, clearly I need to learn more about the Catholic Church beyond the reformation.

She looks very attractive And I don't care what people wear. I think the issue some religious people would have is that such stunts will eventually dumb down their own legitimate rights of religious freedom.

Nick it's not a subject I know anything about so it's difficult to comment. I would just be interested to know what percentage of parents genuinely identify as Catholic. Is this a small minority it's a problem for? I'm seeing figures and percentages but it's not drawing the whole picture. For...

Charlie Hebdo had been warned a few times by Muslims that their cartoons of the Prophet (pbuh) were totally unacceptable. Even pacifist Muslim friends were totally outraged by their cartoons and while condemning the shootings, understood the motivation. So it wasn't about 'kill the cartoonist'...

I propose the colour octarine .. The colour of magic if you're a Pratchett fan

I love nothing better than a face to niqab discussion. I'm an old school feminist, not the modern man hating 'I demand rights based on my gender, rather than my own efforts' type of feminist. It's interesting to see people's reaction when faced with a woman swathed in black who states she is a...

Wil won't mind us doing a little hijacking as it's a simple answer. I'm a Muslim, a woman and I make it my business to know my rights, for which I will fight to the death both for myself and my sisters .. hence feminist. I'm also totally against cultural misogyny passed off as Islam.

Is the system at fault? If they register as such just to get into the better schools then how does the system know, they are other than they state? Surely then the issue lies with the parents, not the system.

As a Muslim feminist I would suggest she write less and read more. She says women should have a right to an orgasm but fails to mention (perhaps she hasn't read) the Hadith which tell a husband he should not leave the marital bed until his wife is fully satisfied. FGM is cultural and the fact...

Thank you for reposting Wil, well shared. Bravo to Zak, he's very brave for speaking out.

Wil the plan go back to the 1950's, actually further back but official strategies started aroun 1953 if memory serves. To trace it back you need to look at a map of Middle East conflicts at the moment. Gen. Wesley Clark in Mar 2007 and again in Oct 2007 stated that he had seen a Pentagon memo...

LOL I must have skipped the verse of the Quran which says you must be punished if you've become too westernised. I'm also quite impressed that he knows which parts of the Talmud were popular among Jews 1400 years ago in Arabia. Stupid propaganda.

I can't watch it Wil the link isn't working

I think Middle Eastern leaders are starting to at last wake up to the fact that the American led 'new map of the Middle East' is well under way and if they don't get more involved in fighting Daesh the who,e plan will come to pass.

Is it indoctrination or is has it simply become a tradition? My parents put up a Christmas tree and play Christmas carols but they are both atheists, so they are certainly not trying to indoctrinate anyone. Malls play Christmas carols because it makes people spend more (good old capitalism).

70 excuses comes from Hamdun al-Qassar, narrated by Imam Bayhaqi in his Shu`ab al-Iman “"If a friend among your friends errs, make seventy excuses for them. If your hearts are unable to do this, then know that the shortcoming is in your own selves…". We know from the Prophet (pbuh) he would...

You seem very fond of the word hypocrite. I assume you mean views you don't personally agree with.

Wa alaikum Salam You make many assumptions. I was never a Jew. I use G-d because this is an interfaith forum and I try to respect others beliefs as well as my own.
