Consequently, I believe that it is pertinent to suggest that the PM see the hate in the Koran. In fact, in this respect, there is little to choose between the three Abrahamic religions.<br /><br />During 20 years service in East Africa and on the Arabian Littoral I became familiar with elements of the Koran when dealing with subordinates. I dealt with reality, my successor at one station in northern Kenya was ambushed and killed by Somali religious dissidents. At another station on investigating a continuous murmur in a mosque next door to my residence I found two dozen young boys learning the Holy Book by rote. Child abuse?

The rest must have not happened!<br /><br />Bill Wright It seems the prejudiced can always find something to confirm their certainties.<br />As GS has shown with a counter to yours. People may carry out hate crimes because they hate what is happening to them, has happened. and consider they know who the perpetrators are and who refuse to acknowledge their pain. So they can pick out a citizen, or randomly strike at someone, for wilful ignorance of attempted genocide to their people.<br /><br />The Old Testament of the Bible has many examples of violence. The advent of Jesus attempted to bring a message about having respect for one another as much as possible. I respectfully offer this thought to you and hope you will consider it in the same vein, and act on it when making statements about those who resort to violence under some banner or another. They are carrying on an old tradition that is hard to turn away from. <br /><br />Those countries professing to be Christian constantly find themselves at odds about this; the western countries of which we are one, are frequently to be found shooting, maiming, killing and despoiling other people's lands, and means of food production and clean safe water. That's a hate crime of massive size.greywarblernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753486518085091399.post-66153224392812353632021-07-28T15:51:59.829+12:002021-07-28T15:51:59.829+12:00If politicians and the "MSM" are petrifi...If politicians and the "MSM" are petrified of mentioning what's all behind this then how come I know about it? I don't bother with the non-"MSM" largely because with all their faults they do at least employ people as fact checkers.<br />And here's a bit of Christian hate to even things up a bit.<br />https://scallywagandvagabond.com/2021/07/phillip-daniel-mills-el-paso-tx-man-sets-house-on-fire-cause-family-did-not-follow-bible-killing-brother-injuring-mother/<br /><br />Hitchens was correct.

This piece by Brendan O'Neill mentions just two incidents in the UK but similar incidents are happening across Europe on a daily basis. It seems that politicians and the MSM are petrified of mentioning what is behind all this mayhem.<br /><br />I note that you have joined the FSU.Bill Wrightnoreply@blogger.com
