All are welcome to attend this event
Well I guess the best thing about the photo is some on the left might wake up to the fact we have another right wing government. This one is nicer, but only a little.
Because assuming people are stupid because there are many different styles to choose from is not a long term vote winning strategy.
Should have people like Lloyd Geering and Jim Veitch. Think I still have a Geering ‘Listener ‘article on Islam from the 1990’s, and his main theme is expanded upon in a basic Islam book – got a few – Bernard Lewis’s “Holy War and Unholy Terror.” I can read and reread, but will never know it all.
It’s not easy – except for dimwits – to generalise about Islam, or the history of the Muslim world,but elder- scholars like Geering, erudite and prejudice-free, can give a good over-view from completely outside.
Pity keyboard supremacists cannot publicly speak and discuss. I know one and think it incapable of dialogue and able to only quote others.
