alas it seems everyone has an opinion however to criticise muslims you get labelled racialist.

I agree with many of Michael's points, I really have little knowledge as to Islam, however it is hugely pertinant to bear in mind that the information we 'sheltered' westerners get is via the media, newspapers, tv's etc., and sometimes we do not know the slant they seek to give,they are FAR more manipulative than anyone understands, and if its all drilled into you day and nite, on the one hand, asylum problems, on the other, racist riots, on the third, people saying how disgusting discrimination is, what is the average person supposed to think? its a wash of confusion, on purpose I think.

 so I for one do not know if islam is peaceful or less so, I have met a few and they seem nice people.Certainly our info. is mega dumbed down and we don't have the time to investigate for ourselves.

I have also seen the beheading videos, and am in serious shock, I didn't get much sleep last nite, and am highly disturbed by it. Serious understatement, I will not even look again or give the link here, as it was SO disturbing.

Seeing that, I would ban halal meat right away if I could. Its horrific, and I have seen and treated trauma medicine myself first hand( rather enjoyed the adrenaline buzz myself) so am hardened to blood and gore.

This was total vile beyond belief.

The tendancy is to tarr muslims with that.You don't hear many speaking out publicly, perhaps the mullahs could, but either you don't hear it when they do, they secretly don't mind it, or they support it, there aren't many other options.

As to women, yes the west is sexual, blantantly, and I abhor it myself, I would prefer a society where women do look after the house, and the men do the work(along with no fixed term contracts and all that) an arrogant big headed woman IMO has a insecurity problem that she needs to humiliate men to feel good.

Many women do actually enjoy being sexual, lipstick, eye makeup, high heels, nail varnish ( is it me or is it all appealing to mens inner desires to stick your cock in a nice wet lipped mouth, whilst those dark eyes look at you, and have red nails rubbing up and down it?, whilst the long legs and miniskirt draw your eyes up to....) think about it. (its all unconcious?? ,but here it is in the open)

As you can see, I am not afraid to reveal mens' innermost desires.

OTOH, the ones that do not have the beauty feel inadequate at best, which is our society, haves and have nots.

As to circumcism, I have been and I am absolutely pissed that I had no say, my most sensitive part has been cut off for no reason, chucked away, I would kill the doctor who did that, I am not a jew or muslim, or anything (slight buddha bias)

for what?

the soft moist end hardens, dries, callouses over, some people report painful erections as the skin is tight.

 as it happens I am growing it back, but its a long hard slog, and it will never be the same, I have been psychologically damaged by that, and am considering legal action.

I urge all to do the same to stop this immoral act. You can't just destroy a part of someone's body without their consent. I feel sick about it. utterly.

If people want it, fine, I don't and didn't.
