The Port Deal and Race was it a factor at all(Of Course Not)
The Emirates Economist | 03/12/06 | bayourant

Posted on 03/12/2006 7:51:11 PM PST by bayourant

Did Race play a role in the Port Deal discussions? The very charge is met by the likes of Sean Hannity and others with Righteous Indigination. In fact, to mention it makes you the true problem. Mark Levin in fact called a MAjor General a dirtbag over that charge. The below cartoons may be an issue now in the UAE. They are not cartoons about that ole darn prophet however. THere will be no boycotts over these but remember still they dont help things. The cartoonist just give us what we want sometimes. From MSNBC the following cartoon. There were many others that through the glory of the net are available to all.

It is forum coutesy...

That's funny, because you seem to be under the impression that it's one of the five pillars of Islam.

Presumably there's some passage from al-Bukhari where Allah casts the kufr into the depths of Hell for not observing proper ping etiquette.

I find your implication that I'm in the habit of "trashing" people particularly amusing, especially since this seems to be your forte.

I can't recall ever being anything other than civil to people who wanted to engage in genuinely civil discussions.

The only people who seem to have a problem scrupulously observing these common niceties that most of us take for granted are FReepers such as yourself.

I think I may have made a serious error when I assumed that those commenting with such, shall we say, simpleness, have in fact "read all the pertinent comments on this thread" in order to reach a reasonable conclusion.

To tell the truth, I couldn't understand why you kept linking to bayourant’s libelous post, but thought it was a bit harsh to put you in the same class as bayourant. But this is just my opinion. I’m not the one who answered your post. If you think you were mistreated by his response, take it up with him.

Let's not exxagerate.

I linked to it twice.

The first time should need no explanation as it was dripping in relevance, and the 2nd time was in response to a poster's request for the date of the alleged comment because he/she had archived Levin's shows from last week and offered to provide a transcript for that day.

That poster subsequently provided the written text.

All this took place before Levin ever provided the audio links.

I was simply trying to aid in resolving the issue and the big dope (Levin) once again, had a kneejerk reaction.

Uhhh, they are called British/English, Scots, Welsh, or Irish. The United Kingdom is made up of several smaller countries that were overrun by our British allies over the last several hundred years.

How many people in Wales, Ireland, or Scotland obey the Quran?

Notice how I phrased that above sentence. Obey the Quran. The country called England has made the same mistake as her neighbor France. They wanted to grab that PC ring, and ignored history in doing so. Shall we do the same? I think not.

I think you should look up backhoe's homepage for some interesting info on how Islam is what you do from the minute you take your first breath. It dictates how you treat your wife and children, right down to bathing and cleansing yourself. It's not, "oh btw we're having our annual mosque picnic, care to stop by?. We're having a bake sale/pancake breakfast to raise funds for the homeless". They are deadly(pardon the pun)serious! I hope this somewhat clarifies my previous replies.

Ping to WD, cause your posts are on the mark.

PS: I do my best to obey my bible, but it doesn't tell me I have to kill people who don't share my beliefs...

I suspect I misunderstood what you all were debating. My bad.

To be clear, the transcript was provided after the audio links were made available by Levin.

The one consistent theme running throughout this thread-for you, at least-is a reluctance to own up to your own words.

All you've done is:

1. Continually refer to slanderous, demonstrably false statements made by a user who has now been banned.

2. Marke smart-aleck, derogatory comments directed at Mark Levin, and people like me, who agreed with him.

3. Cheered on Howlin.

I never said implied you and the now departed Bayourant were equally unsavory characters.

However, just because your actions weren't quite as objectionable as those of BR does not mean that they are laudable in any respect.

You asked my opinion and I gave it. I really don't care if you like it or not, I just gave you the courtesy of an answer.

As I said before, if you want to restart the fight with Mark, go for it.

In the interest of being a kind person, I'm not sure if I should respond to your above comment.

Oh what the hell. Son, there are Thetans under your bed, and they've borrowed your mind! It's powering Katie's ultrasound machine...

Stream of consciousness knee-jerk posters get angry with linkers for posting any link that breaks their train of thought, such as it is. Of course, if the title of the link can in any way be criticized then the title of the link will be mischaracterized.

Wow.

"Knee-jerk."

Did you think of that adjective all by yourself?

Seriously, it's a novel concept I'm sure I've never encountered before.

Gee WD, those were the good old FROBL days, weren't they? :-)

and let's not forget hchutch and poohbah. Of course, since those two opus'ed their FROBL comrades have had to work harder.
