I feel passion is something your posts seem to be sadly lacking ,thus the inference to the Bleeding heart Liberal tag which in the course of this post I will endeavour to explain , I might be slightly incorrect in my assumptions as I haven't the sheer willpower it would undoubtedly take to rake through your earlier posts ,but I don't recollect you giving the slightest hint to were your allegiances lie ,and I hope this explains my opening statement, where I quite openly declared my beliefs .
Your first paragraph, again, is utterly, utterly bizarre. You deem me to be of 'naive nature' because in your assessment the aim of this thread is 'simply to declare which side of the political fence you preside on, and your feelings, however passionate and controversial they may be'. Thus, it is implied from the first sentence of the second paragraph that I am naive because I lack said passion. Now, clearly a lack of 'passion' cannot be equated with 'naivety', which is why your first paragraph is utterly, utterly bizarre.
Continuing into the second paragraph, you infer that said perceived lack of passion validates the use of the term 'bleeding heart liberal'. How, why, I have no idea. You end with another bizarre comment concerning 'allegiances', which refers back to your initial assertion that this thread has one purpose and one purpose only, that of declaring allegiances (how and why you have reached that conclusion, I have no idea, it's just bizarre). You think opinions merit respect, yet here you are making your determinations as to the purpose of this topic, and to those who don't conform, you brandish them 'naive, bleeding heart liberals'. Ironic.
I expect your waiting for me to explain my assumption that you are naive ,well the last part of your post infers nothing but ,that being the following
("You're a Christian. If a group of 16 men turned up at your place of worship campaigning for an end to your religion in Britain, I suspect you'd have something to say ") so lets say for the sake of argument the respective roles were reversed and it was Christians trying to openly promote Christianity in a predominantly Islamic country ,would the same amount of tolerance be afforded ?
Here you're stating that the cited comment validates the use of the term 'naive' in respect to me and my opinions (I though it was simply because I lacked 'passion'?). The purpose of the cited comment was to explain why in these types of social interactions can give rise to strong views being aired and perhaps even confrontation. If you'd kept the following information that preceded the cited quote, you would see this; 'If you think the general response - one of anger - from sections of the Muslim community and anti-fascist groups was without just cause, perhaps you ought to consider what it is that aroused such a backlash in the first place.'
That is to say, if a group whose aim is to 'combat the spread of Islam' arguing that Harrow mosque is a 'house of hate', comes into the vicinity of that mosque, it is not unreasonable to expect tempers to fray between the supporters of that mosque and its opposers. Indeed, if any group who possessed similar aims came into the vicinity of any place of worship they opposed, it would not be unreasonable to expect opinions to fly about, and perhaps tempers to fray - depending upon the circumstances. I introduced the (admittedly hypothetical) example of anti-Christian protestors in particular since it is the predominant religion in Britain and thus served as a resonant example of the capacity for these sorts of disturbances to occur - to clarify to anyone who may be of the opinion that the response to this particular (planned) demonstration was - in its entirety - 'out of order'.
To the question you ask in relation to that quote, that is, whether Christians intending to 'promote Christianity in an Islamic country' would be afforded the same degree of tolerance, I'm inclined to say no, but it would depend on which country you had in mind. That's besides the point, though, which is that different countries and groups of peoples abide by different principles, and so what you would expect to be tolerated in most Western countries, wouldn't be tolerated in some parts of the middle east - a region that contains Islamic states of different variations. That other nations shouldn't tolerate Christians to practice their faith within their borders is a manifestation of those differences. By itself, however, it doesn't form an argument for or against the practicing of a particular faith in Britain.
It seems your missing the importance of forums fella,they simply exist for opposing voices to come together and in your words rant ,about their beliefs or indeed eulogize over their team and their aspirations for the future ,not a less than competent regurgitation of the propaganda, the media regularly forces the more malleable to ingest in copious quantities ,quite simply forums are not about being clever they are about wearing your heart on your sleeve and saying what comes from the heart .
I think in summation I will include a definition of the phrase bleeding heart Liberal "A person who is considered excessively sympathetic toward those who claim to be underprivileged or exploited." ,feel free to pick your way through my post fella ,Im sure you have the time ,I on the other hand do not ,so as to ensure I do not become embroiled in this futile debate ,I will desist in posting in this particular thread as I like my prey to have a pulse ...........
I don't know what to say
Ps If you don't wish to be pigeon holed stop believing the Lies the ubiquitous masses are being readily fed on .
Another re-assertion.
Overall, it's a very limited response you managed, RBG. It's mainly rhetoric with lots of bizarre, unsubstantiated statements mixed in, which is quite frankly a p!ss poor platform to continue a debate.

Well, originally it was about a group called 'Stop the Islamisation of Europe' who planned (but failed to execute) a demonstration outside Harrow Central Mosque last Friday. Since then, unfounded accusations (as confirmed by SIOE and the Mosque) have been made claiming that the Mosque in question chose 9/11 as the date for its opening. It then deviated considerably to take on the broader issues at stake - everything from social cohesion, to the UK constitution. In these debates, some chose to back up their arguments in a logically sound manner, whereas others went on long, emotional rants, but (in some instances) against what exactly is as yet quite unclear. A classic example would be the poster who - without any substantiation whatsoever - claimed I had been 'quoting the lies' the media had 'fed' me. Since I took up him on these claims, his contributions have remained limited to one or two-liners, and that's that where the topic is at the moment.
