Keith - you have no interest in "discussing" anything that you can't use as a platform for your own prejudices.
You started the disgusting "Hom's Horror" thread telling us how terrible it was all those people being shot down - until you were informed that the bullets used by the snipers may have come from Britain, as did some of the armoured cars and riot control equipment - then you flipped and the thread became a damage limitation exercise in order to defend Britain's good name
You even went as far as to suggest that it would be fine to sell Assad equipment if it was only for "riot control) - IE to suppress Syria's Arab Spring protesters, which was what they were then.
Yo took a similar stance when Assad started using chemicals on his people - bad, until it was found that Britain sold him chemicals which could have been used in their manufacture - another damage control exercise.
As far as you seem to be concerned, we should discuss these things on your 'crocodile tears' level and make sure the world knows it is the Muslims at it again.
Here, we have the same situation - lament the poor Christians being slaughtered but please don't mention the slaughtering by Christians and other religious bodies - up on your chair, skirts hoisted up and loud shrieks of "thread drift".
Unless we are able to discuss these subjects in context and point the finger, these discussions become nothing more than pointless handkerchief wringing exercises.
Feel free so say what you wish on these topics, but I do with you would stop trying to censor and manipulate what others have to say - you must have been arned about this at least a dozen times.
Something to get your teeth into - the greatest threat of religious persecution over the last century in Western Europe has come from Christian Churches persecuting Christians, including children in their care, "fallen" girls, pregnant women and homosexuals.
Don't suppose you'd care to comment on that - other than to deny it!
