I've been informed that I might be in trouble. During a tutorial yesterday, I was asked a question regarding Islam.
I answered it correctly. I elaborated a bit and correctly stated that Mohammed's third wife was 7 when he married her and he was 50. I then correctly stated that under British law this would be considered paedophilia, as our law states that one has to be 16 with parental consent to get married and if a man married a 7 year-old he'd be arrested as a paedophile.
I'm told that I've now offended Mohammed and apparently I might be in trouble.
This is what it's come to. You tell the truth, you're in trouble.
I feel like giving up :(
Are you a teacher? Anyway, stand strong in the truth. You did nothing wrong.
So, you take it upon yourself to defend a bunch of perverted paedopile moon-god worshiping camel humpers?
A 50 year old pervert taking a 7 year old CHILD for a wife is a pervert, then, last century, this century and TODAY, no matter how you look at it.
But America’s Founders are still racists for having slaves.
And then, just to make sure we all know how crappy life can be, you make sure we know that the Founders were, one and all, racist?
Do you think we should do any more than we have done to rectify the situation?
If so, what?
I think you're in the wrong forum.
This is a conservative forum, and the majority feel that we have and are doing every thing we can to make sure that those that were mistreated are being now treated as well as they will allow themselves to be treated.
I don't understand your point.
If you have a point.
The enemies are the usual suspects, Leftists + Politically Correct joining forces with Islam crowd already living here.
Those people that are joining against you have NOT read the Koran. They think that these truths are made up by the right.
The Islamists want to bully the leftist just as much as they want to bully you. They don’t want the leftist to actually read the Koran.
It’s easier for them to leverage their “offendedness” if that’s a word.
Stand your ground.
Know your facts.
Ask honest questions.
Ask them if the Koran is wrong?
I agree. The truth is what it is. The facts are not even in dispute by the Muslims themselves. A man who diddles a preteen is a pedophile.
Lucy...tell them to bugger-off.
What kind of dog is that? Looks like a Belgian Tervuren. I had one and he was a great dog.
At the first mention of anything that sounds like they’re coming after you, inform them that you’ve contacted your lawyer, know your rights, and that they are welcome to proceed.
“Are you a teacher?”
Yes. The others already know that I’m a Conservative and am Christian.
They knew the former when I refused to join the Union and also most of them are basically Socialists, a few are what I can only described as Far-Left.
I think most are Athiest.
Well I am prepared, also tomorrow my Senior has offered to intervene, to try and calm things down before they get out of hand.
I took a peek at your profile to discern your location, and I’m assuming you are in the UK. I know they have some wacky hate speech laws, but it sounds like you haven’t be threatened with any work action so far.
My immediate advice would be to take a breath and find your inner calm. If they call you in to chat, then choose whether you really need to fight this fight early in your career. This pc nonsense is pervasive everywhere, but it seems especially so over there.
Perhaps save your thoughts, to which I agree, on this matter for home. Be publically contrite in the meeting and live to fight bigger battles in the future.
Best wishes whatever you decide!
I’ve actually read The Koran, I’m in full possession of the facts.
You’re correct the Leftists, in general haven’t read The Koran. They just believe the propaganda that’s thrown at them.
Keep us updated, Lucy. I will say a prayer for you.
Wish he feeled like fighting instead. Thats what people did before metrosexuality and big govt socialism took over.
A few things that you need to keep in mind.
1) what ever is going to happen has already been decided. It’s now simply a matter of them implementing it. Do not fret over things you can not control. Remember the Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
This is the time for clear thinking. Do not let you emotions get the better of you.
Be prepared to defend your statements. Cite the pages and verses which specify the age of Aisha, and Mad Mo. Specify the current code in law describing what is legal and is not. The current code for sex with a minor (statutory rape). Have this at the ready, or committed to memory.
2) REMAIN CALM !!! don’t get emotional. I know it’s hard, bit now is the time for being stable.
3) do not capitulate, do not appologize, do not beg for mercy or anything else. Stand your ground. They may try to make an example out of you, if they do, go to the gallows with your head held high.
You took his remark way differently than I did. The liberals would excuse the pervert, but at the same time slam the Founders for being racist.
Thanks :)
As I said, my direct superior is going to intervene on my half tomorrow. They’re a bit of a Leftie, but they’re okay and they strongly believe in freedom of speech. They don’t believe my comments are Incitement to Racial Intolerance or full-on Hate Speech.
WTF?! I’ve seem Islamic marches in Britain where they’re holding up placards stating:
“Behead those who insult Islam”
Do they get into trouble? No. What a STUPID topsy-turvy country we now are :(
Ben Franklin owned NO SLAVES. Not all Founders were slave holders.
Thanks :)
What you comment here, in Britain we call that having The Dunkirk Spirit!
My first dog was a Belgian Sheepdog, same as Tervuren except all black. Second was a Belgian Tervuren. After many bear problems here in the Colorado Rockies he is the first to bite a bear (in the butt) while chasing it off. Now have another Belgian Sheepdog that is shown on my home page, playing in the snow. They are great dogs, very smart!
