I am perfectly well aware that I could just as easily have been born in 1932 in Warsaw as in London; in which case I should not be sitting here posting this. The consideration is a constant leitmotiv to my entire existence. It needs no patronising persons revelling in the security of their unshakeable Waspery to remind me of the fact, thank you.

A little empathy would not come amiss on occasion.

So, sorry: I say it again. Jim is an antisemite. He thinks he isn't but he is. I daresay he would rather not be; in which case he would do well to get his brain in gear before his fingers start automatically typing "Nazi" and "persecuted" and so on yet again.

And I say again: Islam is, for reasons I have rubricated countless times with no semblance of any rational response, but mere irrelevant abuse or facetiousness [I mean you, Musket], a Weltanschauung which needs constant vigilance on the part of the rest of the world [just look at responses to the ongoings in Sudan at this instant] if its potential for ubiquitous mischief is to be contained.

Which is what this thread is supposed to be about.

So how about some rational responses, please: without engagement of these factitious instamatic racism-spotters which snarl up so much of the baggage of so many of you?
