“Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the 'transcendent' and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you.” CH

I had no idea Charlie Higson was dead, or SO popular!It was a massive loss for humanity when CH passed away. He was a true hero to millions.
So enlightened ... in contrast, here is an advert in a Pakistani newspaper warning people about the punishments for blasphemy, etc. The punishment is death for anyone who dares to insult the Prophet. Ok, I will go first. According to the Hadiths Mohammed raped a child.
It's also noticeable that they define hate speech as anything that offends a Muslim but they do not include any of the hatred espoused by groups like ISIS.
You can't be a victim of hate speech if you are an atheist, this is an extra special divine right reserved only for those who believe in religious ideology, or as I prefer to call them, stupid twats.
That last line made my laugh out loud. Have you seen the comedian Jim Jeffries? He has this routine where he says "It's fine if you want to be religious, but you just gotta know that makes you a dumb c**t." It sounds funnier when he says it!
I don't always agree with him on other things but when it comes to religion, me and him must have been separated at birth. Jim Jefferies: ‘If you’re religious, I’m sure you’re nice but you’re slowing us down’ Christians are like a thirteen year old kid who still believes in Santa.That last line made my laugh out loud.

There were a few ancient cultures where women were regarded as the superior sex, but I suspect the concept of religion was foreign to them.Depends on whether you believe the words in a book written by men for men thousands of years ago.
I haven't read all ancient religious scriptures by a long chalk, but I bet pretty much every single one is misogynistic in its thinking.
That was brilliant.

He wouldn’t make a good Nazi - he’s married to an African American male!
Americans are mad about their guns. If Islamism takes off over here like it has in Europe it's going to be absolute carnage because the terrorists are going to be going round with semi-automatics rather than knives.
“Going to be”??
Might have missed a little incident in Las Vegas.
Yes, there is some speculation about whether or not that Las Vegas attack might have involved a gun trade with Islamists. The official version says that it was a lone gunmen so I didn't count that as a Jihadi attack.
There would be fewer people killed in all these attacks if guns were not so widely available in the US.

Speculation where? Infowars?
Are all the other mass shootings suspected of having Islamist involvement as well?
Well there seem to be some doubts about the official version of events. For example, multiple shooters were clearly heard and it seems very strange that the gunman (gunmen) fired for just 10 minutes given that they had more than 20 guns in the hotel room. I don't recall where I saw the speculation that the dead guy was involved in gun running to the Islamists. As I said before, it was simply speculation and I didn't put much weight on it.
But getting back to my original point (great deflection by the way), do you not agree with me that it will be carnage if the Islamist problem spreads to the US where guns are so freely available? At the moment we have mass shootings every few months (far too many I know). If guns were as widely available in Europe as they are in the US, I reckon there would be mass shootings every week.

Christians are shooting Christians- even in churches. Black on black shootings. Police on black shootings. Black on white shootings. Every day, every week. But, let’s ban Muslims. That will make the US safer.
I always find it puzzling that people cannot let others criticise Islam without jumping to it's defence but will crucify Catholicism at any opportunity

It's not deflection, you're basically making things up and I've called you on it. Fair enough, it's just idle speculation but as the States already has a massive problem with mass shooting s perhaps it would be better to concentrate on preventing them rather than a threat that isn't actually happening.
Mass shootings take place every few months in the US. What you describe are not mass shootings. They are incidents which are primarily attributable to the ridiculously lax gun laws in the US.
I am not in favor of a total ban on Muslims. I am in favor of making sure that anyone entering the country does not have extremist views. For example, we could ask them: Do you think that homosexuality should be criminalized? Do you think that people should be executed for insulting religious prophets? Do you think that apostates should be killed? If they answer yes to questions like that, then they don't come in. The accuracy of their answers can easily be checked using polygraph tests.
I have been an immigrant in 3 countries for most of my adult working life and I would not object to such questions when applying for entry.
Would you object? If so, why?
the questions on the ESTA application are now starting to ask questions more searching questions but to be honest, you could just lie.

What have I made up? Nothing. You were the one that introduced the Las Vegas shooting not me.
The Islamist threat is actually happening in Europe but people like you are unwilling to name the problem. Why is that?
Because it would cause massive queues and would offend me. Stupid questions to which I would say „of course not and none of your fxxking business“. But you mean only questioning Muslims not white people - I think. How you could determine a Muslim by looking at him is also questionable. people like Judge Moore wouldn’t be allowed in and he is backed by the president of the USA.
It is different when people apply for citizenship. Then they have to accept the constitution.
Not if it was backed up with a polygraph test. Those tests are very accurate.
Moreover, the questions on the ESTA application do not cover things like: Do you think that homosexuality should be criminalized? Do you think that people should be executed for insulting religious prophets? Do you think that apostates should be killed?
Another deflection from you then. Quelle surprise.
