Shogun: The thing is, when you talk about my supposed claim that "liberals want Sharia law instituted" I don't know what to make of you.
Because ... either you believe what you have written. In which case, you are hopelessly incompetent and stupid. Or you don't. In which case, you are not worth arguing with, because you are dishonest. And I suspect that this is not a conclusion that is unique to me.
For the record ... just in case anyone is reading just the last few posts of this thread ... I have never, ever said, hinted, or implied that I believe liberals "want Sharia law instituted". That claim is just a flat lie.
And by the way, I do happen to know something about surveys and their reliability. Don't talk about things which are outside your range of knowledge.
Anyway, I still hold open my offer: I have made some specific claims about Muslim opinion in the UK. You have not answered them. I have even given you a chance to win some serious money from me. You have not taken it. I assume it's because you sense that I wouldn't make a bet that I was not absolutely sure I could win. And you would be right.
I also see that I have tended to elide you and MidCan together, which is a mistake. Although he is in error, I think he is an honest debater.
So I would like to re-pose my challenge to him.
I claim that a significantly large, worrying minority -- sometimes, on some issues, close to a majority -- of UK Muslims hold deeply illiberal views, stemming from their adherence to Islam, on issues relating to the values and norms of liberal democracy.
I quantified my argument in a previous post.
What do you (MidCan) think about this? (I assume no other liberal is reading this thread, or chooses to be involved in the argument.)
Oh sure.. make this about me instead of providing support for your stupid fucking assumptions about liberals. Say, did you manage to dig up a single example of a liberal applauding the death of theo van gogh? no? Well, in that case youd better sidestep by calling me stupid or something.
Supposed claim my ass. I QUOTED YOUR OWN WORDS. Did I put the keyboard to your fingertips and make you write stupid shit? no? Then spare me your silly half assed diatribe that is meant to put more distance between you and actually providing evidecne for your stupid posts.
For the record ... just in case anyone is reading just the last few posts of this thread ... I have never, ever said, hinted, or implied that I believe liberals "want Sharia law instituted". That claim is just a flat lie.
*sigh* let's take a look at how evidence spoils your sock puppet facade.

I say liberals are indifferent to the growth of an immigrant population which itself, as a collective entity, is far from unanimously opposed to that law.
Furthermore, liberals -- or rather, the West-hating Politically Correct Thoughtpolicemen among them, who are numerous -- work in tandem with Islamists, by supporting Thoughtcrime prosecutions against people who raise doubts about the reality of multi-culturalism. More importantly, the liberal intelligentsia who run our educational and political systems are committed to multi-culturalism, which means the praise of every culture except the indigenous one.

Thus liberals try to ignore the growth of Islamic power in Europe, despite its deeply illiberal character, as we have seen in this thread.
post #67
But if we understand that liberalism is the ideology of Western suicide, then we will understand why it is usually futile to try to talk someone who is determined to kill themselves out of it. If only the liberals would offer their own soft white throats to the jihadis, and leave the non-suicidal part of the population to prepare our defense.

yea, Doug.. we are only stupid enough to not be militant when muslims come in and do the exact same thing that every other ethnic population does during it's first and second generations after immigrating, eh? Hell, if a muslim inengland does what an orthodox jew does in New York it's gotta be evil because the popularity of the name mohammed indicates the application of sharia law over constitutional law, right?
Maybe if you were a little less quick to stumble over yourself to throw a punch at liberals then you wouldn't have dance around insinuating that liberals applaud sharia retribution like that of Theo Van Gogh. I sure would hate for you to examine these types of issues without your liberal hating shit goggles on.++
Outside MY range of knowledge? Obviously you don't put that shit to work if your sole piece of support is some lame fucking opinion poll whose validity is at best questionable. Indeed, spare me your little lecture, professor, on the accountability of surveys since IM not the one trying to use what amounts to a daily poll on billoreilly.com to indicate that a population of british muslims want to impose sharia law over common law. But, hey, if you had any other source you'd like to post to add to that single sad ass effort then feel free to do so.
I assure you, what you assume and what is reality are two seperate animals. You didn't ask a single question outside of proposing non-sequiters (post #69), More non-sequiters (post #90) to which I posted answers in post #99 (remember, right before you tried to run away like a scared little girl?), and an attempt to construct a straw man that would make the Wicker people jealous (post #104) not to mention doing the same strawman construction in post #67. Indeed, ask your question, Doug. I'll answer your question as long as it is not some transparent attempt like #67 was.
In return, maybe you can asnwer mine that you seem to be avoiding. Here, let me enumerate them for you.
1. Can you show evidence that liberals are willing to roll over for the application of sharia law any more than they do for christians?
2. Can you show me a single example of a liberal applauding violent retribution by muslims that breaks common law? If so, what common constitutional law was replaced by sharia law and who, exactly, allowed this to happen. Don't give me your standard "liberals did it" bullshit. give me names and specific examples of your accusations.
3. Can you show me the difference between the practice of legal sharia law among euro's muslim population and the practice of legal orthodox law among euro's jewish population.
4. What laws have you ever, personally, been forced to trade in for sharia law? How will a community of mulsims abding by their own LEGAL cultural standards affect you in any way? Further, How is the popularity of MOHAMMED any more or less a correlation with sharia law than the name Chin is with communism in China?
5. What Monty Python satyr-type of expression has been BANNED in the UK? Can you show me how the state forces you to observe and/or respect muslims and sharia law? Is state-driven prohibition of expression REALLY the same thing as a bunch of european pussies wrapping their wet noodle backbone around the scapegoat of ethnicity and culture?
PS, I really don't need your money, dude. I advise you to put it towards your oral hygiene fund...
Maybe you can smile real wide when we are all chuckling at your "quantification" using a laughable survey as the sole source of your argument.
