- Having my first baby in NL!!!QUOTE (griggit @ Apr 10 2008, 03:31 PM) Despite all their training which is good I am sure. Midwives in the NL (1) canno tadminister medicine or pain relief and (2) have a huge chip on their shoulder (not all but the vast majority) and are reluctant to hand you over to the hospital unless THEY decide it is necessary (i.e. you and/or the baby are almost dead) , 10/04/2008 06:07

- I'm not an expert in world religions, however I am aware that Islam builds on its primitive Jewish and Christian predecessors - selecting bits and pieces to make the whole. I'm currently reading intellectual (and atheist) Christopher Hitchen's book 'God is not Great'. In his chapter, "The Koran is borrowed" he agrees that you cannot challenge or investigate the claims of Islam without swift and extremely harsh repression. "Provisionally then, one is entitled to conclude that the apparent unity and confidence of the faith is a mask for a very deep and probably justifiable insecurity.
Not to mention the bloody feuds BETWEEN different schools of Islam, resulting in strictly inter-Muslim accusations of heresy and profanity and in terrible acts of violence.
"The fact remains that Ilsam's core claim--to be unimprovable and final--is at once absurd unalterable. Its many warring and discrepant sects, from Ismaili to Ahmadi, all agree on this indissoluble claim.

- abrecht, you certainly know your stuff and what you say makes sense. I'm not an expert in world religions, however I am aware that Islam builds on its primitive Jewish predecessors - selecting bits and pieces to make the whole. I'm currently reading intellectual (and atheist) Christopher Hitchen's book 'God is not Great'. In his chapter, "The Koran is borrowed" he mentions that many authorities believe that the Koran can only be read (and heard) in Arabic - it is not translatable. Which leaves us with "the absurd and potentially dangerous conclusion that god was a monoglot." He also admits that you cannot challenge or investigate the claims of Islam without swift and extremely harsh repression. "Provisionally then, one is entitled to conclude that the apparent unity and confidence of the faith is a mask for a very deep and probably justifiable insecurity.

- Viewing the film was scary as it does reflect a reality - but only part of it. Most thinking people are completely aware of "What these folks are capable of". We all condemn the violence, of course, but the film is fear-mongering. To quote that Dutch guy from the article: ”His only agenda seems to be to maintain a fearsome world in which right and wrong have become clearly distinguished, and he does so by an appeal on the common stupidity of man to take the easier route of thought.” Anti-Islam film taken offline, 01/04/2008 09:31
