I don't think that I'm being narrow-minded at all. If anything, I have broadened my mind. One who despises Israel doesn't necessarily have to love Islam. I'd suggest that anyone who loves peace and...love would hate both with just as much passion.
You claim to be broad-minded, yet you fail to have any tolerance for Islamic culture? Perhaps burkas are not supposed to be fashionable. Perhaps
the idea of a burka is to prevent attention from other males.
You say this Islamic woman's beliefs are unreasonable, and yet you blatantly refuse to show any form of reason, instead choosing to force your eyes closed and accept only one facet of Islam as being the sole truth.
You say that Islam teaches hatred and acts upon it, yet you yourself hate Islam and wish to disadvantage millions of innocent Muslims based on this hatred.
And, most interestingly, you insist that you are not a hypocrite
No, Islam does teach hatred. The quotes I provided prove as much. And whereas Christianity teaches hatred which noone follows or acts upon, Islam does teach it and people do act upon it. This is the problem, and you cannot seriously expect me to be distracted by your elementary grade posts. Islam is a threat because of the "bad people" that you mentioned, and these bad people are sufficiently evil and engage in sufficiently harmful activities so that the banning of all Moslems from Australia can be justified.
But people
do act upon the more untoward aspects of the Bible.
I am still amazed that you insist the smallest minority of a religious group presenting a danger to society is justification to ban an entire religion from entry to Australia. You seem to think that the only people who pose any threat to a person living in Australia are Muslims.
I have seen with my own eyes that this is not the case. Terrorism happens laughably infrequently compared to general day-to-day violence, most often involving not one, not two, but ZERO Muslims.
YOU ARE NOT LISTENING TO WHAT I AM SAYING. READ CAREFULLY AND TRY TO FOLLOW
1. Islam teaches hatred
2. Some people act upon this hatred
3. The results of this are CATASTROPHIC
4. Banning all Moslems from Australia may seem extreme to some (all of whom are Moslem), but is an action that would prevent the catastrophic results of Islam
CONCLUSION: All Muslims should not be granted entry to Australia.
Your logic fails at 4 (or, arguably, 1).
-You are correct in saying that banning all Muslims from Australia would effectively prevent Muslims from executing a terrorist attack in Australia.
-You are incorrect in saying that a blanket ban only seems extreme to Muslims
-You are incorrect in saying that a blanket ban will prevent Australians being harmed, in or out of Australia
-You are incorrect in suggesting that a blanket ban would, in any way, increase the safety of an average Australian by any appreciable amount.
In the same way that a pedophile should not be granted access to a daycare centre.
This bit I just don't get. Of course pedophiles should not be allowed unsupervised into a daycare centre. But that's totally irrelevant! I'm assuming you mean terrorists are the pedophile, and the little children are represented by the poor helpless Australians.
Except that not all (in fact, almost no) Muslims are terrorists. So your valiant attempt at a coherent analogy has unfortunately failed to provide any meaningful addition to your argument.
Come off it dickhead. Noone has been killed in the Ireland violence for ages. And even when it was on a high, the violence wasn't anywhere near as widespread against INNOCENT CIVILIANS as it is in the case of Islam.
But hey, I'm no hypocrite: If those people in Ireland posed a significant threat to Australians then I'd be all for banning them from this land girt by sea.
Well, in that case, all Catholics and Protestants should be at the very least segregated into different colonies in Australia, or better yet, ejected completely. The risk of religious violence is simply too great to have resting the on the shoulders of our children.
And as an FYI, the violence and hate is still there. And it has always involved innocent civilians. The violence never occurs between to diplomatic armies - it's between the citizens of towns in N/S.Ireland.
YOU CANNOT LABEL ME A HYPOCRITE. I AM NOT A HYPOCRITE. YOU HAVE NOT DISPROVED MY CENTRAL CLAIM AND YOU CANNOT WIN
No, because cars are a useful tool in the hands of responsible adults. I would like to see irresponsible adults banned from being able to drive though.
So what? Some adults might appear to be responsible but actually be irresponsible. The only way to be sure no one can be harmed by a car is to ban EVERYONE from driving them.
Surely you can sympathise with that view, considering you would be happy to turn away 1.57 billion Muslims from Australia because a group of Muslims whose total population would not fill more than 4 average classrooms has acted in hate in the past?
