Sad though this story is, it's interesting to note that muslims are 'muslims' when they are victims, but 'asians' when perpetrators.

Re: The Religion of Peace? (Part 2)
tbf Roy, the victim on this occasion was clearly an Asian and a Mulsim, and it appears that this was a racist attack because he was an Asian. I don't think religion comes into this one. How would they know he was a Muslim? There are several different religions in Asia, not all Asians are Muslims.

Re: The Religion of Peace? (Part 2)
That wasn't my point though - which was - the newspaper, like other media of its ilk, were only too happy to splash the actual word 'muslim' all over this article, - because I believe, it shows muslims as victims and therefore in a positive light, whereas whenever they are shown as evil perpetrators of crimes they are almost never described as muslims, only asians.Zambo wrote:tbf Roy, the victim on this occasion was clearly an Asian and a Mulsim, and it appears that this was a racist attack because he was an Asian.

Just heard that the Independent is ceasing to be a printed newspaper, so some good news there, - let's hope its older nastier brother brother (the guardian) suffers the same fate.

Sorry misunderstood. However, I think they only mentioned Muslim as he was on his way to the mosque when he was attacked.

Women-led mosque opens in Denmark
Scandinavia’s first female-led mosque will also be open to men except for Friday prayers, but all imams will be female
...Similar projects by Muslim women exist in several other countries, including the US, Canada and Germany...

Re: The Religion of Peace? (Part 2)
Even though I love the sight of churches in this country and lament at the decline of Christianity in the country ( hate the sight of mosques in this country though marvel at em in Turkey and the one in isfahaan, Iran looks gorgeous) there was community centre types or similar to Jehovahs witnesses - Kingdom Hall in Jesus time.
The same could be said about the "mosque" where Christians and Jews were all welcome as it was a community centre type.

I can see Roy's point.

12 men of Pakistani origin abused girl in Keighley, West Yorkshire, when she was 13
But some members of the Muslim community feel 'she played her part'

Re: The Religion of Peace? (Part 2)
That example would even suggest that there is actually some sort of instruction to journalists not to directly mentions muslims as perpetrators, but possibly OK to mention them when commenting upon the crimes.AlcoholBrazil wrote:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... -face.html

Re: The Religion of Peace? (Part 2)
It's a story about the empowerment of Muslim women, the previous lack of which being a main criticism from all quarters. As such it is a positive development in challenging the patriarchal attitudes that prevail in various Muslim communities.Roy Twing wrote:Not sure what your point is on your latest link from that sleazy rag tick, - they (and assumedly you) seem to be approving of blatant sexual discrimination .The Tick wrote:http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/f ... in-denmark

But of course you are not interested in the welfare of women (Muslim or otherwise), you just want to find any convenient topic to help shoehorn in your hateful agenda against Muslims or anyone else considered alien to you.
Now THAT is sleazy.

It is not discrimination. But your support of patriarchal values and the maligning of Muslims is discrimination.

Show me where I show any support of patriarchal values (that's a new word you've learned from the sleazy rag's article) or unjustly maligned muslims tick.
Put up or shut up, - there's a good apologist.

Re: The Religion of Peace? (Part 2)
A Mosque that caters to women in a community when the opposite is true, but does not even bar men from attending, is not discriminatory. Certainly no more so than leisure centres/gyms that have women only/men only time slots, or gyms that are only for women.Roy Twing wrote:Show me where I show any support of patriarchal values (that's a new word you've learned from the sleazy rag's article) or unjustly maligned muslims tick.The Tick wrote:It is not discrimination.

Your continual blaming of Muslims for a good deal of the country's social ills is malicious.
And you have stated that you have no interest in women's rights. That is a show of solidarity with patriarchal values.
All you are interested in is maligning people.
And your by your own admission have said

You act on spurious figures, obfuscation and misinformation, and the guilt by association approach. All to shoehorn in your hateful agenda. An agenda that is far from being interested in fairness.
