I decided to focus on Abdalla because he holds a senior academic position and ought to understand Islam.

It fails dismally, but thought you'd like to see it.Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6673179650846701039.post-55088839767321176842013-06-25T20:46:16.203+10:002013-06-25T20:46:16.203+10:00Well, an outstanding scholarly and empirical disma...Well, an outstanding scholarly and empirical dismantling of Screaming Abdallah's claims by the great Dr Mark Durie, as per usual. Seeing how Honest Ab is allegedly a scholar of Islam an' all, there are only three logically possible reasons for his laughable errors: he is either incredibly and grossly incompetent, a blatant liar or both. <br /><br />I happy with any combination he admits to. No, really.

In Australia, Self defence is an act to prevent a criminal or unlawful harm to a person or a property, and not to prevent someone from expressing their disagreement with your religion or belief. <br />One Australian Muslim citizen cannot incriminate another and cannot declare their innocence; needless to say, cannot permit their killing for self defence against another who opposes their religion.<br />Thanks Mark for yet another eye opener!
