JohnOfSheffield, please dont interrupt two people. I asked for any statistics on "many, many clerics championing" the behavior of vitriolic speech.

Dear Twat,

I'm writing this to you because you are too stupid to understand the concepts of an open forum and i'm here to help you understand it.

An open forum means that any member of that forum can reply to any post you make, if you wish to have a private conversation there is this nifty thing called Private Messages AKA PM's.

Are we clear on this?

Regards

JoS, the CyberPolice, department 401

Dang! A flaw in my dastardly plan! I can't possibly subject those cute little fellows to the LRA. Umm - Mars? We'll call it Greenworld . . .

Routan, please. You can't ask for proof of many Islamic clerics preaching jihad and expect to be taken even the least bit seriously. Saudi Arabia holds maimings according to Sharia. Iran sentences people to death by stoning for adultery. Afghanistan sentences people to death for converting to a non-Muslim religion. These are entire Islamic COUNTRIES!

I say we shove a rocket up their arse and send them on their way as soon as possible because this sounds like a splendid idea. 😀

I would disagree with you but i suppose it's a matter of location.

All in all, SA is a shithole ruled by those who have against those who they can take from.

LMAO!!! You've never been to Saudi Arabia or for that matter anywhere other than the UK. The commoner in Saudi Arabia have an easy life as most of the manual labor is performed by people from South East Asia.

All you know is the hatred toward Muslims or the countries where they live that you been taught. Shown by the thread crapping that ensues at the end of this thread.

You're also not an officer in the SAS, it so apparent to those who have served or are serving in military forces.

werepossum, nonsense. You are just putting together disparate subjects, throwing in a few key words and making it sound like a thought out post.

What does preaching Jihad have to do with countries using Sharia to punish citizens? The two things are unrelated!

Maybe from "a Muslim perspective" but not from mine.
 
So routan, why did you come to the USA? Because of the "freedoms" you enjoy here you can't find anywhere else, much less from Islamic countries? Can you please elaborate "from a Muslim's perspective?"

I have no way to verify that JoS is an SAS officer, but people I trust have verified that he is where he says he is. Given that, you have no call to doubt he is what he says he is, even if his opinions do not match what you expect of an SAS officer. Since damned few us of know enough* SAS officers to form an informed opinion, I suggest you take him at his word.

*Personally I've met only one and have known none.

Actual members of the SAS may NOT talk about what they do. If JoS were for real (which he isn't) he'd be in a world of shit if anybody in the military found out about his posts. He is a fake and a liar, and there is no way I will take him at his worthless word.

I personally know people in American special forces, namely Green Beret and Delta Force. They are some of the most humble, quiet and non-bravado people I know. They excete confidence from every pore in their body when you look at them but you would never know from the way they communicate. One thing they have in common is they do not openly offer that are part of a special forces group, especially in an attempt to provide some legitimacy to their words.

I can second this.

I was in training for Special Forces (informally Green Baret) at SWTG (Special Warfare Training Group) at Fort Bragg, NC. I was dropped from the program due to legal issues and reassigned needs of the army to an infantry unit. My mentor of sorts was the step father of one of my classmates who took it upon himself to help educate us regarding the q-course and other events in training. He is an active member of SF and even refused to have his picture taken.

These guys are cool cats and take their role in covert ops very seriously.

I always assumed that anyone posting as SF or any other group like SAS was no longer on active duty.

Thou art wise, for outside the full moon I am no more than half possum.

(During the full moon I am also no more than half possum. In fact, as far as I know I have no possum blood at all. I do have whiskers though.)

KIAman, I have already answered this. In the first few pages.

For yur benefit, I'll answer it again. Yes, that is exactly why we moved to the United States.

nobodyknows, the two things being unrelated is a fact. If that is not your perspective, it is a wrong perspective.

Yeah, if you say so. Perhaps you can fool yourself into thinking the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, but I will make up my own mind based on my own observations.

I suppose the fact that all muslims must face Mecca to pray is also unrelated to anything
 
I thought this thread was about JohnOfSheffield not being SAS and Werepossum not being a possum.

Can we just agree that this thread is now the knew off topic thread within Politics and News?
