Not "opponents" of your man, Boo - just the rest of the story. I'm not willing to embrace him him uncritically, as you are.

By the way:

There is a tendency to jump to the “terrorism label” when a Muslim commits an act of violence, an assumption that Muslims are “only motivated by some twisted interpretation of Islam rather than a host of personal and social factors,” according to Patel.

“Because Muslim violence is described as part of a broader ideological frame, it both heightens the perception of the threat ‘Islam is waging a war against the West’ and makes it easier to place blame on all Muslims. In contrast, non-Muslim shooters are more often described as individuals with mental or social problems not part of some broader movement, although their beliefs too are often explored in the press,” she said.

“I am afraid that a Muslim name makes it much easier for Americans to apply the label ‘terrorism’ to violent actions. But needless to say, Muslims are just like everyone else. They have all kinds of reasons for what they do. Terrorism is one; but we should try to remember that terrorism was not invented by Muslims,” Lakoff said. “We are much too likely to think of Muslims as prototypical ‘terrorists’ while homegrown Christian types who misbehave in analogous ways are just individuals not acting out of political motives. Wrong, of course.”

“In my view, the solution isn't to call more things terrorism, but to get away from the politics of that label. We should evaluate, and respond to threats based on actual attacks, capacity and seriousness of intent,” Patel said. “Not on perceptions about a particular religion or racial or ethnic group.”

Glad quoting Dawkins gives you a laugh. I found it strangely funny too. But quoting hostile witnesses is sometimes more apt . And of course , if I quoted a Christian you would say it was biased. Being a uk resident I don't get to hear about all these Christian terrorist organisations strapping bombs to themselves and shouting Jesus words as they blow themselves up in abortion business places. In fact, I think we are rather lacking in them. How many times , say , every year, does it happen over there? You must be continually in fear of your life , being infidels, being as there are so many Christians over there ...some of them might be terrorists eh !

Comparing how many terrorists the perverted factions of religions can throw up is hardly a reflection of the mainstream. What could be a little more disturbing is that the people who harass women at abortion clinics (it's CLINICS, Pete) see themselves as mainstream and are seen by many Christians as mainstream. I think the difference between a typical Muslim and an Islamic terrorist is a little sharper. However, if I were absolutely forced to be religious by some decree, I'd choose Christianity (not martyrdom) any day. I think Richard Dawkins would agree.

I should like to point out to Keith that I did not refer to the murderous types who kill doctors, assault women or damage the clinics. I said the people who harass women at abortion clinics. That's the aggressive shouters and the placard-wavers and the faux-prayerful hectorers. I don't think they have the moral right to do any of that, whatever the law says. They are seen as mainstream by many Christians, as doing the right thing in opposing abortion in that manner. They are actually out to intimidate, if not terrorise, vulnerable women. I think that people who oppose abortion are utterly misguided, but that they are entitled to express themselves in peaceful and non-confrontational ways that don't attack or intimidate individual women or doctors. That's what I would call mainstream. What would you call mainstream, Keith?

Numbers give a good indication.

The fact that in a country that at the time described it's State religion as being Christian abortion laws were passed is another good indication.

Having never witnessed masses of these "mainstream" Christians yelling and obstructing pavements and hindering innocent passers-by in the vicinity of any hospital or clinic providing these services is yet another good indication.

Are you and Teribus suggesting that most of the people who harass women at abortion clinics are not Christians? Including the ones who are dressing up as joke penguins, carrying crucifix placards or dangling pairs of rosary beads? Teribus, kindly refrain from distorting what I said. I didn't say masses of Christians in the streets, did I. I said that many Christians regard these protesters as mainstream Christians (as opposed to extremists). If I'm wrong, prove it by showing me that mainstream Christianity firmly rejects these horrid people. Show me the Christian outrage, please. I haven't seen much of it. I propose that very large numbers of Catholics in particular are sympathetic to these aggressive people even though they wouldn't necessarily join them outside the clinics. If I'm wrong, show me the Church distancing itself. It's perfectly possible to protest against abortion, wrong-headed though that is, without intimidating individual vulnerable women (behaviour that is as unchristian as could be imagined). I'm open to persuasion, given the evidence rather than your Christian indignation.

Of course. But standing outside a clinic picketing individual women when they at their most vulnerable with posters showing scenes of violence, chanting slogans and having to be held back from carrying out physical intimidation has nothing to do with education. I'm absolutely in favour of everyone knowing what abortion involves and how it's done. It's a good bet that the women going into the clinic already know it and that a baying mob will do nothing at all to improve their education.

Don't know, couldn't say, I've never seen any, so I have never talked to any, Have you? If you haven't then you can make no claims about them on behalf of others.

"I said that many Christians regard these protesters as mainstream Christians (as opposed to extremists)."

When did you commission and conduct this survey? How many Christians of what different persuasions were included in your sample group? Or did you just ask every Christian in the country? Of course you did none of these things, Keith A is perfectly correct you just made it up. As you made the statement it is up to you to substantiate your claim - You won't of course, because...... it's made-up-shit.

"It's perfectly possible to protest against abortion, wrong-headed though that is, without intimidating individual vulnerable women."

Of course it is perfectly possible and I would suspect a lot more common than the aggressive form of demonstrations and actions you are describing, or we would hear about them being reported in local, regional and national news. Off hand I cannot remember ever reading about any violent protests concerning any NHS BPAS Clinic. Many of these Clinics been blown up in the UK? No? Thought not.

If you think it is "wrong headed" that is your opinion not a fact, you are perfectly entitled to it but you have no right whatsoever to impose your opinions on anyone else.

"I'm open to persuasion, given the evidence rather than your Christian indignation."

No you are not, a man less likely to be open to persuasion I could not imagine. My Christian indignation?? How do you know that I am a Christian? Practicing, lapsed or otherwise - fact is you don't.

As far as evidence goes as previously stated:

1) No survey carried out to back up your claims
2) No coverage in the media related to all these violent protests you claim occur on a regular if not a daily basis
3) The NHS provides a perfectly legal Abortion Service available to all - if Christians generally regarded abortion to be against their beliefs then the law would never have been passed. In the Republic of Ireland (A Catholic Country I've heard tell) you even have the The Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act 2013 which came into force on the 1st January 2014 as a direct result of a visitor to the country dying because Doctors there would not abort the woman's baby which was miscarrying in order to save her life.

"Savita Halappanavar, 31, was 17 weeks pregnant when she developed back pain and tests revealed that she would lose her baby.


But despite her repeated pleas over three days, doctors refused to perform a termination as they could still hear the foetus's heartbeat, reportedly telling her: "This is a Catholic country."


Mrs Halappanavar's condition rapidly deteriorated and she died after developing septicaemia four days after the death of her baby."


Five things contributed to the death of this lady:

1: Stupidity
2: Total negligence and failure to follow the Hippocratic Oath supposedly sworn by ALL QUALIFIED DOCTORS
3: Cowardice
4: Total failure of application of common sense
5: Religion used as an excuse to cover the four above.

FORTUNATELY, no one is going to follow Newt Gingrich’s unconstitutional and un-American plan for an inquisition to “test every person here who is of a Muslim background” and deport the ones who “believe in Shariah.”

Muslims have a wide range of different beliefs about what Shariah requires in practice. And all agree that humans are imperfect interpreters of God’s will. But to ask a faithful Muslim if he or she “believes in” Shariah is essentially to ask if he or she accepts God’s word. In effect, Mr. Gingrich was proposing to deport all Muslims who consider themselves religious believers.

Quite amazing really, a man who professes to know so much about Scandinavian housing, France during WW1, Ireland in the early 20th century, modern politics etcetera, etcetera has somehow missed the numerous occasions when these protestors have been reported on national television in the UK.

It's even been commented on frequently enough on this web site.

None so blind as those who will not see. In answer to your last phrase, yes I think you are lying and in order not to show you're lying make the claim you have never seen these things.

If every assertion you made, Teribus, had to be subjected to a "survey," you'd have surveys coming out of your earholes. All too often you regale us with not so much with unsupported "information" but with your tortuous twisted take on things. Now where did I mention the NHS or BPAS clinics, or, indeed, the UK at all? Where did I mention hordes of Christians on the streets? Where did I accuse you of being a Christian? Where did I mention violent protests? I confined my remarks to people harassing women with crucifix placards and rosary beads and penguin suits (by the way, do I really need to "survey" such people to check that they're really Christians and not dressed-up Buddhists?) Where did I say that anti-abortionists aren't entitled to their opinions (I've actually said the opposite of that twice in this thread!)

And the irony bypass you must have gone through, you, of all people, to be able to say this:

"a man less likely to be open to persuasion [meaning yours truly] I could not imagine."

I asked you to show me the Christian outrage at these people who you claim are not seen by other Christians as mainstream. You can't, because there is no Christian outrage. Just like there's no Christian outrage at centuries of Christian antisemitism and Islamophobia and witch-hunts and oppression of scientists and misogyny and child abuse...the odd half-hearted self-interested apology, of course...

Christianophobia? Too bloody right! Christiano Ronaldo was a jumped-up twat at Man U and Real Madrid haven't improved him much either!

And excuse the poetic spelling licence. All in the name of fun. By Christ, a bit of fun around here wouldn't come amiss.

He did just make it up Keith or he would have been back like a rocket.

Union activists and stalwarts always have to check back with whoever it is that tells them who to think whenever question by independent thinkers and people who really do challenge anything told them.

1: Most assertions I make are based on fact - you have stated in the past that you don't believe a word I say - so I give you enough information to check what I say out yourself - trouble is you never do.

2: I live on the Eastern side of the Atlantic, you know that full well. So whose Abortion clinics are these Christian fundamentalists or Christian mainstreamers harassing? Must be in the UK or in Europe - Guess what PRAT I haven't come across a single one. So come on Shaw, get in touch via PM with Raggy and with Carroll and come up with at least one fact to back up your preposerous contentions, because so far you have absolutely nothing except your own bigoted bias against religions in general.

3: "Where did I mention hordes of Christians on the streets?

Please correct me if I am wrong here but you said that those harassing vulnerable women entering Abortion clinics were considered as mainstream Christians by the rest of the Christian community. Now logic and reasoning would lead me to believe that if those mainstream Christians are indeed harassing people going into Abortion Clinics then the only f**kin' place they could do it would be on the street outside the bloody clinic.

4: Where did I accuse you of being a Christian?

Again correct me if I am wrong but you did refer to MY CHRISTIAN INDIGNATION - DUH????

5: Where did I mention violent protests? I confined my remarks to people harassing women with crucifix placards and rosary beads and penguin suits (by the way, do I really need to "survey" such people to check that they're really Christians and not dressed-up Buddhists?)

Perhaps Steve you should do some Prison visiting you would learn that "harassment" is violence - possibly a concept not really familiar to a Union Activist totally unused to anyone challenging the "party line". As rto conducting the survey? Yes you do before you haave the complete and utter gall to speak on their behalf in such a manner as you have.

6: Where did I say that anti-abortionists aren't entitled to their opinions (I've actually said the opposite of that twice in this thread!)

You have also declared omnipotently from your self-appointed position on high as fact that those who took such views were "wrong headed".

the people who harass women at abortion clinics.....are seen by many Christians as mainstream.

So you don't consider Roman Catholics "mainstream" Christians[sic], Professor?

And yet these hypocrites have no compunction at running around bellowing "Islamophobe" at people. I am thoroughly enjoying the spectacle of Keith and Teribus kicking their Jew hating, jihadi apologist asses - keep it up boys.
