Having said that I believe you to be well intentioned in your views but sometimes, like many of us, emotions can get in the way. I don't believe you set out to ridicule unlike some.

It isn't hateful to criticise a religion that preaches so much hate towards others. I don't preach or support any kind of violence, I just object to a religion being allowed to showcase its vile hateful views of women on our streets, especially as such views are in direct violation of our equality laws. And like you I will continue to fight for what I percieve as an injustice.

I think there is a lot of truth in these two paragraphs and it is encouraging that more people are starting to see the attacking and insulting that goes on here. There are some elements who seem to categorise people and then target everything they say.

I don't always agree with you Brillo but I can see that almost everything you say is jumped on and often ridiculed and you have as much right to your views as anyone else.
