Take that, Kaffir-

Well, someone showed Harry (Will) Cummins the door at the British Council. How they knew that Harry was Will and had written a series of hard-hitting, controversial articles against Islam for the Sunday Telegraph I don't know, and the BBC aren't saying. Harry denies being Will so to sack him they must know that he is fibbing, I suppose.

Anyway, my point is that before anyone tells anyone off for insulting Islam they should be able to prove they've read the Koran first.

Not of a lot of people scrutinise the Koran the way they do the Bible, but the Koran's a lot more bloodcurdling. It's like a dialogue portrayed between the Muslim and the unbelievers, where the unbelievers are depicted as pigs and monkeys, deluded, blind, foolish, destined for drinking cups of burning liquid for eternity. It's not merely these details (just a few of many), it's the relentless way they are pursued throughout the Koran, drilling the message again and again- inducing a hypnosis of hate, or maybe a punchdrunk submission.

People have regularly written about the psychological damage that Christianity is alleged to do, with its narrative of good 'n' evil; why can't they see their argument applies tenfold to Islam? Think of it, ingrained in a culture for generations.

Only God knows why Prince Charles is sympathetic.

Anyway, my second point is that, knowing what they know, Islamic people must, indeed do, expect opposition from the unbelievers. Their complaints against Cummins were just an example of what they know as Jihad but by another means to the one we're familiar with (of course there was the little matter of Salman Rushdie). I don't have any objection to people being offended and making a complaint; however in this case it's a Muslim spiritual occupation to oppose the enemies of God through whatever available means. The vogue for outlawing and opposing offences to religion is a victory for Jihad.

Some might say that's better than having people blowing people up; I would reply I don't want Moslem practices and morals imposed on me whatever the means of doing so. What would the response to that position be: get used to it, Kaffir?

The LGF'ers have a debate going about all this (not entirely one way), with some good links, including Cummins' powerful articles and odds and ends about the British Council and their royal patrons.
