  1. msc14111990 You're now resorting to gossip, huh. Well, this historian you speak of, Niall Ferguson, separated from his wife in 2010. He then started dating Ali. One year later, they got married and they have a son that was born in December of 2011, long after Ferguson had split up with his wife. If you're a Muslim, divorce is perfectly acceptable and allowed as well as getting remarried. So, all you're doing is engaging in gossip, the activity of the small and mean minded. As for being a coward. She spent years under threat of murder from Muslim radicals. She had to go into hiding and still has to be careful about making her whereabouts known to the general public. If she ever went back to Somalia, she'd be killed and YOU know it. That's not being a coward. That's being smart. As for helping people, she's wrote books showing that a religion, culture, skin colour and gender shouldn't stop a person from becoming their own person, an individual with freedom of thought and expression. When she took an aptitude test in the Netherlands to see what she was best suited to work at, she was told that she should become an office worker. She didn't want that and said that she wanted to study political science. She was told that she would only get funding if she studied secretarial type jobs and if she wanted to study political science, she'd have to pay for it herself. So she did just that. She worked and studied and attained a degree in Political Science. Then she became a member of parliament in the Dutch government. Your problem is rather obvious to see through. You're a Muslim and you're one of those who think that any criticism of Islam is blasphemy and should be punished, even killed. If not a Muslim, one of the extreme liberal left, who isn't much different. The kind that thinks that anyone who doesn't agree with them 100 percent is a despicable person and shouldn't be allowed to speak and you'll use any means possible to denigrate including childish gossip.

  2. What's even more depressing is that there's a left wing elite that won't have a clue what you mean.

  3. + Berry Bostwick I'll have to take your word on your naivete. It's just that it's common tactic by some when they don't have a case. They want others to prove a negative, something that is irrational in spirit and impossible to accomplish. You appeared to couch your question with your seemingly innocent remark about laziness. Worship is too strong a word. Admiration would be the word that I would use. She's has a death sentence hanging over her head but she doesn't stop doing what she believes in. Invalidating her position by suggesting that she may have skeletons in her closet is not only a cheap way to win an argument, it's a tactic that is almost always going to have a degree of success. Almost everyone on the planet has things in their past they're not proud of. Look deep enough and you'll find it and I don't care who you are. There are elements to Islam, the ideology, that are counter productive to a healthy and free society. For an apostate Muslim to point that out takes courage. It could get them killed. For that, she deserves our thanks and our admiration.

  4. If you're not aware of facts those allegations should not be mentioned. Uninformed allegations are not much different than gossip. What you've done, whether it was intentional or not, is lay an allegation on the table and then followed with a challenge, daring anyone to refute that challenge. You justify that challenge with a self deprecating comment on how lazy you are. This is a win/win comment for the supporters of the SLPC. It's a situation where people are asked, very subtly, to prove a negative, a difficult thing to do in the best of circumstances. It also provides her detractors a way to present their information, whether true or not, thereby supporting the SLPC stance. You're either extremely naive or extremely clever at presenting a point of view that appears objective. I'm leaning towards the extremely clever, which means I believe that you support the SLPC stance.
