    Slippery slope fallacy.

    In your opinion? And perhaps some others on here? I'm fine with that. The idea that my morals only come from my religion is wrong. I know it. I feel it. I've shown it. The end.

    Back to the story for a sec and the police officer who was attacked seems to be in good spirits tonight :) He tweeted the following:

    "Borrowing' the team account to say a big 'Thank You' to all for your tweets of support. It means a lot to know the community has our backs.

    I also want to thank @OFFICIALWMAS for sorting me out at the scene. The gents in the mosque for risking their safety to help me #oneteam

    I'm currently recovering from my surgery but hope to be back on my feet ASAP. Thanks again to everyone that helped put me back together x "

    Now that is very odd because the oil used in Thai cooking is traditionally made from rendered down pork fat.

    If that's the case then I was unaware of it. If a menu has a separate vegetarian section I would have presumed it was made using only vegetarian ingredients. If the case is that it was made from pork, then clearly I'll stop having Thai, or have to ask about the ingredients before sitting down in a Thai restaurant in future.

    Thanks for letting me know, I was unaware of this, and will look into it.

    Great news! Wasn't sure how bad his injuries were but glad to hear he's on the mend.

    The injured worshippers are recovering well too.

    A big relief as there could easily have been fatalities.

    Apparently, a surgeon was a part of the mosque congregation and he administered first aid to the injured inside.

    I think it's a natural psychological phenomenon that people play dumb. It's a form of psychological defence mechanism in order to not learn new things which disrupt learned behaviours and ideas, a way to continue to have a distorted view of reality

    That's all very true, which reminds me of a quote, "If you could reason with religious people, there would be no religious people". Very relevant in these troubled times I feel.

    I think it's wrong to look at religious people in the way that you appear to. That is what's worrying about these times.

    Well, if this is the 'quote' then it comes from a pill popping fictional doctor:D

    No it didn't.

    A real live actual person did it. Of their own volition. We can't be sure how much their beliefs had a part to play but it clearly wasn't the "religion" that did it. Unless you're saying the religion (a theocratic concept) suddenly turned into flesh and committed the crime? Now that really does sound zany.

    Funny how many people use the 'religion of peace' phrase as you have done. When I say funny, I mean the opposite, of course.

    A person influenced by Islamic doctrine. Such doctrine has no place in the modern world.

    So what are your thoughts on a poster comparing Islam to Nazism? Should Muslims just bow down and aquiesce like cowards to such a view because it must be true?

    Islam's attitude towards and treatment of Jews, women, non-believers and the different sects within its own ranks really does not seem that far removed from nazism to me.

    your arguments do not make sense. is it any wonder why most people do not understand you ?



    What has lead you to make that statement? I find simmon's posts intelligent, insightful, and extremely easy to understand. Perhaps it's you that has the problem?
