In turn, I quoted one back who as you have stated is under a threat of death but still lives so quite clearly not a view point all within the faith take. I am sure if we chose to sit all day we could find people on opposite sides to back up our point. My point is just like your irrational fear of being oppressed by Halal meat, the actual story on the ground is different to what the media tells you. Have you ever met an ex Muslim who is in hiding from the threat of death? That was the point of my comment. Actually I was making a general point about ex-Muslims around the world - even reformers and secularists face death threats and prosecution in places like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia etc. You highlighted one prominent person who it turned out was threatened with death for being an apostate, proving my point. This isn't about individual people we may or not know - though when living in Auckland I did meet a gay couple who had escaped from Saudi Arabia because they would be killed for the triple whammy of being gay atheist alcohol drinkers (turns out they were lovely and not evildoers afterall) My point was about the persecution of apostates.

Where, where, where can these people being radicalised from? From a small section of our community which is then amplified and encouraged by our favourite newspaper? Ridiculous! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/muslim-man-unconscious-katie-hopkins-tweets-yorkshire-home-spray-painted-huddersfield-a7809031.html Quote A Muslim man has reportedly been knocked out and his home spray-painted with racist phrases that echo tweets written by Katie Hopkins. The 42-year-old man from Yorkshire was hit on the head with an instrument after intruders entered his home via the back door, the Huddersfield Daily Examiner reported. He was drilling a broken bathroom door handle and wearing earphones as they approached him and knocked him unconscious, the newspaper said. He said he suffered mild concussion as a result. The IT project manager told the Examiner: “My back was turned and I didn’t hear a single thing. “A couple of minutes later I woke up with a sore head and I felt a bump on the back of it. Then the adrenaline kicked in. “I knew someone must have hit me so I dialled 999. I wasn’t sure if they were still here because I hadn’t even checked downstairs yet. “The police and ambulance were on their way so I made my way outside – that’s when I saw the graffiti on the walls above the staircase. “I was in shock – I wondered if it was real.” He said the graffiti read, “Pakis out. We need a final solution #Machester (sic).” The words echoed those written by former LBC radio host and Daily Mail columnist Katie Hopkins after 22 people were killed by a radical extremist in Manchester last month. Police reportedly asked him to keep the other graffiti private to minimise the risk of it being repeated by extremists. The man, who has lived in the area for six years and is married, said he had “no idea who would do this” and he said the neighbours were “on high alert” for future attacks. Nothing was stolen during the incident. He was told to leave his house for two days while police investigated. The house is less than two miles from where the late MP Jo Cox was killed by Thomas Mair before the Brexit referendum in 2016. Detective Inspector John Charlton told the newspaper that such an offence in the area was “extremely rare”, and that the police were “taking the matter extremely seriously”, increasing patrols in the area and carrying out a forensic investigation to identify the intruders. He seems to be keeping close to Thomas Mair's killing ground as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with most of these things, I reckon the reaction and the reaction to the reaction are jumping the gun. I've not really got a horse in this race - there's pieces of filth on all sides, as I've repeated in the past. Just took issue with the assertion that what's good for the goose isn't necessarily good for the gander. I do hope they're found and dealt with too...and though I haven't seen what Katie Hopkins may have tweeted, it wouldn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
