As for Livingstone’s latest pathetic effort in dhimmitude, the debate about Islam should not be focussed on the minor issue of media reporting [which we all know is badly skewed on most issues], but on the apparent incompatibility of Islam with an open, pluralistic society, the reluctance of Muslims to meld into the wider society around them instead of sticking out like a sore thumb, and the inescapable fact that tolerance is a two-way street.

I am currently BANNED form the falsely-named “Comment is free” site on/in the “Guardian, because I gave a factual description of a religion (I’m an atheist) and that religion was islam.
I stated, that it was: Mediaval, intolerant and cruel.

No argument, no discussion – you’r banned, by a so-called “liberal” newspaper.

It’s also all well and good to make jokes about the report being “Taliban-style”, but if it was it would have been advocating that girls shouldn’t be taught at all, which it most certainly was not. I think the MCB complained to the PCC about the article, but the PCC website is completely useless for finding anything.

P.S. Could you please stop this lower case rendering of words like ‘Muslims’ and ‘Jews’? Apart from anything else, you don’t apply your made up rules regarding proper nouns consistently.

They even have the audacity to suggest they are “elected representatives” – yeh, right, elected amongst a bunch of men, some of whom have significant and rather shady agendae.

When is the Muslim community going to kick these charlatans into touch? Not letting them use the term “Council” might be a start – it implies State, legal or democratic authority.
