			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/12/20/2124578.htm">Camden Council opposes Islamic school development</a></p>
<p>Pauline Hanson <a href="http://camden.yourguide.com.au/news/local/news/general/pauline-weighs-in-on-islamic-school-debate/195586.aspx">had this to say</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Every school in Australia is Christian apart from the Islamic schools. I have no understanding of what they teach in the Islamic school, do you?&#8221; Ms Hanson asked.</p></blockquote>
<p>Are we surprised that she has &#8220;no understanding&#8221;?  I&apos;m not.  And as I remember, my public primary school was not Christian, it was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secularity">secular</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.infinitylimited.net/misc_media/bigot1.jpg" align="left"/>This bigot had the lion share of jaw-dropping quotes from the <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/05/27/2257402.htm">ABC TV</a> article:<br />
&#8220;Our democratic rights are being taken away.  We just don&apos;t want [muslims] here.  Not only in Camden, we dont want them in Australia.  [All their countries] are dictatorships, they want to rule our world.&#8221;</p>
<p></p>
<p>Some other mind-bogglingly stupid comments.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We&apos;re not bigots, we have the right to express our opinion.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><i>You have the right to express your opinion, if you are express a bigoted opinion, you are a bigot.</i></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;My kids don&apos;t speak Arabic, so they cant go to this church.  Next thing you know there&apos;ll be a mosque, then a little town &#8230; it&apos;s not right.  It&apos;s totally not appropriate for the area.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><i>I&apos;m not catholic, but I don&apos;t have a problem with Catholic churches, even if they <b>continue</b> to <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/05/07/2238031.htm">fuck young boys</a>.</i></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&apos;m not saying all Muslims are bad.  They are not all bad, but their teaching is.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><i>That&apos;s like saying: &#8220;The people of Camden aren&apos;t all bad, but they are all crack-whores&#8221;</i></p>
<blockquote><p><b>ABC Reporter</b>: Why are you wearing an Australia flag?<br />
<b>Bigot</b>: Why not? Why shouldn&apos;t I? Why is the ABC against Australia?</p></blockquote>
<p>Google turned up some more depressing bigotry from some small-minded douchebags:</p>
<blockquote><p>The pigs’ heads, planted on wooden stakes on the Camden site, with the Australian flag draped between them, are believed to be in protest of the Muslim school proposal.
</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.downundernewslinks.com/?p=2396">Found here</a>.  <a href="http://www.downundernewslinks.com/?p=2396#comment-5829">My response to that</a></p>
<p>Why is it that alot of people confuse &#8220;secular&#8221; with &#8220;Christian&#8221;?  Would they appose a Buddhist Temple?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is itfair to say that a woman has the choice to not wear a head-dress, if:</p>
<ul>
<li> God has said to wear the head-dress </li>
<li> People will think less of you if you dont wear the head-dress</li>
<li> Your father/brother/husband will ask you to wear the head-dress, else people will think less of him</li>
</ul>
<p>Would you say you still have freedom of choice?  The answer is yes. But not many people would want to.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Families Vs. Christians — Who Will Win?</p>
<blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid; margin-left: 1em; padding-left: 1em;"><p><i>&#8220;A parent who is Wiccan or pagan would be deeply offended by the characterization of their religious path as being likely to have had &apos;tremendous evil come from occult involvement.&apos; A parent in a court-mandated program might not be able to object without suffering severe consequences, such as being ostracized or publicly ridiculed. Wiccans, Pagans, Druids, Santeros, Gnostic Christians, Qabbalists and Sufis are all considered to engage in mystic or occult religious practices&#8230; Those of us who practice &apos;occult&apos; or non-mainstream religions are law-abiding, productive taxpayers and voters who simply wish to be afforded the same respect and tolerance that is the right of every American citizen.&#8221;</i></p></blockquote>
<p>Kind of like trying to tell a muslims here in Cairo that, &#8220;No, I&apos;m actually not a Christian&#8221;, to which they kind of give a startled look, and then ask what you are.  When you reply &#8220;I&apos;m a Buddhist&#8221;, they look incredulous and say, &#8220;But they worship a statue man!&#8221;.</p>
<p>But they are not close minded, and we have the wrong idea and Islam. </p>
<p>Yeah, right.</p>
