"That just isn't the case Jim, in my experience."
Sorry Mac - you are of course right
I should have clarified that in my experience, parents who don't send their children to Catholic schools face problems from the church - I know this from bitter experience.
Because my father was forced to spend so much time away from home, my mother brought my sister and I up alone
She was at the receiving end of a great deal of abuse from visiting clergymen for not sending us to the local Catholic School.
"because in that context they would amount to Islamophbia"
Not sure I entirely agree
I see no harm in discussions about abuses of any religion anywhere; what I do object to are threads being taken over by Islamophobe fanatics whenever the opportunity arises, often couched in language that would be subject to incitement to race hatred laws outside the safety of the web - ie - using this forum as a race-hate platform on any subject under the sun.
The same people are the first to attempt to deprive us of our say, using every shitty little little trick in the boo to do so.
