They are, after all, 100% of its readership. I see what you did there, but the uppe-middle-class is the one demographic which the Daily Fascist would never dare to criticise for any reason, ever.

“Upper Middle Classes are Breeding Ground for Islamic Terrorists”

It also occured that it might be short for Ignatius, in which case he's almost certainly the spoiled-rotten boy of some upper-middle-class couple who sleep in seperate bedrooms and despise each other while using their child's affection as a weapon by bidding for it with expensive gifts and never, ever telling him "no". Of course, that's just speculation, but it would fit the profile of every white British convert to Islam that I've ever met, and I've met a few. The thought did occur to me.

You gonna pretend you haven't read this in the scriptive equivalent of "lalala I'm not listening" too?

Is that truth just too uncomfortable for you to address? THat's okay. We see that a lot on UF - theists debate passionately (and in some cases offensively - you'll note that I haven't held off on being extremely rude to you, because as soon as you started in on other people you basically gave me a green light to say <i>exactly</i> what I think without even attempting to be nice about it), but as soon as a point rises which they can't counter, what do they do? Ignore it. Pretend to have not read it. I'd call you the Muslim equivalent of John C, but that would be unfair to John C, who is always polite about his beliefs even if he's not always entirely coherant.

In Iran they're removing all the good apples while leaving the bad ones in charge, in Afghanistan the good apples were given the chance to choose their own destiny and the whole affair was corrupted and stolen by a bunch of bad apples, in Iraq one bad apple tested nerve gas on a whole bunch of other bad apples, in pakistan one bad apple blew up another bad apple when she returned from exile, taking out a whole bunch of gullible good apples in the process. These are ALL countries which have or had some or all the elements of Sharia law - and it clearly does not work in any of them. “it’s removing the bad apples which if left alone, will eventually destroy the whole society”

Maybe you don't know that the majority of Afghans despise Muslim zealots like you because most of the insurgents are just arseholes on war-holidays from Czechenya and Pakistan whho've come to shoot at Westerners for a couple of weeks (rather than to actually try to improve the lives of the people there, for example), and because it's the Afghans who got stuck in the middle and killed by crossfire. Seriously and from the bottom of my heart: Fuck your religion, and fuck you too.

Leave them for a few billion years and create man. Oh wait, that's right - it all happened without any need of a supernatural bully. Also, earth (I assume that's what you're talking about) is not a ball of iron sprinkled with dirt. Also, I don't get where you got the idea that there's no gravity. Maybe try jumping out of a window to see if it's true. I'd recommend starting with a ground floor window just in case your god isn't too fond of you.
