No, Venom. The recent behaviour of muslims in Bali showed "the worst in the way that people can treat each other", not my comments. My comments here merely reflected that, in the context of muslims presenting here the knotty problems that the niceties of their religion gives them. Unfortunately RW has deleted the evidence now (the thread in question), so latecomers are now prevented from forming any view on what you are talking about, whether it was OTT, whether I am an "idiot" as the Chimp Writes suggests (he has changed his name a few times already on this board BTW, despite his comments), or whether it is inappropriate to make any comments outside the topic of "running" itself on this board where posts touch on other issues.
As for "people like him", I'm just a person like you. We all have to live in this world. If I have a comment to make, and it is a reasonable one to make in the context, I will make it. I haven't seen massive groups of muslims in the media condemning the Bali bombings over the last week - they are happy enough to keep their heads down as though it is nothing to do with them although it is part of their group that is committing atrocities - so if they don't like the way that some of us feel about what appear to be a somewhat confused set of values just now, there is no embargo on my commenting on it. This isn't a political board but the post in question was about religious observance and if the religious observances of muslims are going to mean death to many of the rest of us, then I am not very happy about it.
For the record, RW suggested I apologise. I would if I considered I have said anything to apologise for, but I don't I suggest in turn that muslims as a collective group of people need to sort out what exactly are the collective values they do stand for, before more of us die.
Enough said.
