The ones fighting for change do it in a burqa ? That's an oxymoron. And no. I haven't had the pleasure.

It's from Champion Data's Twitter page.

You like women being oppressed ? Interesting.

Denmark Just Became the Latest European Country to Ban Burqas And Niqabs Denmark became the latest European country to ban full-face veils on Thursday, effectively outlawing the burqa and niqab worn by some Muslim women. The country’s parliament voted 75 to 30 to implement a law that prohibits wearing veils in public, the BBC reported. The law does not specifically mention burqas or niqabs, but it is commonly known as the “burqa ban,” according to The Guardian, and is seen as being aimed at Muslim women. http://time.com/5298049/denmark-ban-burqa-niqab-face-veils/

Upon contemplating the game further it is reasonable to think we might be a little off this week. It's hard to stay up week after week. Like @Wiseblood said, a solid 4 or 5 goal win will do me. They can then set themselves for round 23 redemption.

Yeah, he actually won with 75 and kicked more in finals.

If you listen to Angus on a recent MFC podcast there's near zero chance of him leaving.

The humidity was about 23/24% on Sunday, which is VERY low. It was hot, but certainly not humid.

As another poster has mentioned, the Bulldogs can't score. In the last 3 weeks we've kicked 69 goals and had 106 scoring shots. Footscray in that time have kicked 26 goals and had 58 scoring shots. Assuming Melbourne are remotely interested it should be a 10 goal win.

Leftism is a mental disease. Good luck.

This is a ridiculous assertion. If you don't think there are literally millions of Islamic followers living in the West who wish harm on Jews, Christians, etc. and who aren't undermining Western civilisation at Mosques you're completely delusional. Imam Tawhidi knows there are, because he was one of them !! This is why he fights against radical Islam here in Australia. It's so important he accepts he's going to get death threats, which he regularly does. I can only assume the Left are obtuse. For the sake of soldiers who fought for the freedom you enjoy these types of discussions should never be shut down.

I admire tremendously the conservative American Jewish commentator Dennis Prager, who started life on the Left. He sums up my views on religion and atheism perfectly in this article. I'm interested in your thoughts on his views. http://www.dennisprager.com/a-response-to-richard-dawkins-2/

Just as an aside, atheism is far more dangerous than religion. If the entire world was atheist it would be bedlam.

Triggered !!!

How you don't think there's a correlation of more danger to society with an increased Islamic population is extraordinary. I must be imagining those security checks at the MCG. As the Muslim population increases as a percentage of Australia's overall population there's greater risk to society. Do you even do Europe ?

This is disingenuous rubbish. I've stated clearly, and often, that I have no issue with Muslims. I have a massive issue with Islam. Clearly and obviously, not all Muslims practice Islam as it's intended. However, Islam is unambiguous. There is no wriggle room. NONE I recommend you actually learn something about Islam rather than concentrate on the thoughts and actions of some Muslims. They are COMPLETELY different issues. Thankfully, many Muslims are Westernised. Thankfully, many Muslims don't understand the Qur'an and their own religion. Thankfully, many who know what's expected of them under Islam don't have the inclination to practice what's expected. Thankfully, many recognise that Islam needs to be modernised. Thankfully, more than half of Muslims around the world don't want to indoctrinate the rest of the world. They're not the ones who concern me. Like all lessons throughout history, it's not the silent peace loving citizens who present the dangers, but unfortunately, despite their goodwill they don't stop the dangers from happening. Most Germans weren't blood thirst Nazis. Most Japanese were peace loving. And the list of examples goes on. But atrocities still happened despite their goodwill because the fundamentalists controlled their societies. We have a very small percentage of Muslims and a very very small percentage of fundamentalists. I'd like to keep it that way. Because, as the Muslim population grows so too does the danger to your boy and his future offspring.

It didn't address a single element of Islam. It was totally irrelevant. But, by all means, point out to me the aspects of Islam that were addressed ?

I'm shocked that a rabid Lefty works at a University ? Who'd have thought. Thanks for fessing up that you have 4-5 Muslim friends and not dozens. I suspect they're acquaintances and not "break bread and drink wine" type of friends. As for a strategy to deal with the dangers of Islam within Australia ? Firstly, don't import anymore. Don't permit any new mosques to be built. And monitor the activities of known radicals. Islam is completely incompatible with freedom and democracy. ALL practising Muslims want to live under sharia. If they don't want to live under sharia they're either ignorant of their own theocracy or pretend Muslims. Are you familiar with sharia, Jara ?

This is hogwash. It's just a copy and paste. Islam is Islam. You either practice it or you don't. You clearly have no clue about Islam. Don't be offended, but you're wasting my time.

I'm surprised there are not apologies from posters in this thread. Some of the comments by dolts re Hogan were pathetic.

I'm talking about Islamic adherents in the purest sense. If someone considers themself a Muslim, but doesn't practice the orthodoxy of the Qur'an then no problem. You're referencing westernised Muslims, who for the purposes of this discussion I don't consider orthodox Muslims. There's no ambiguity in Islam. The Muslims you're referencing wouldn't attend mosques. Those that do are not able to befriend the kaffir. I've always said that I have no issue with Muslims, because many take out of Islam what they want to in varying degrees. But I have a massive issue with Islam. It's insidious and there's NO wriggle room. It's an all encompassing set of beliefs and laws. It has complete governance over society. Study sharia and you'll appreciate Islam and all it holds dear. It's as much a political ideology as a religion. Thankfully, not all Muslims want to live under sharia. Those that do are a huge concern.

It's not "who" we're beating, it's "how" we're doing it. No.1 contested ball team in the competition by a mile is the key. So is our spread and kicking. Injuries will be the key.

You can be cautious, which is why you started the "is Goody the right guy" thread. In the meantime I'll smoke my pipe in the knowledge that we're on the verge of great things. It may not be this year, but it's coming.

No, I'm not. But I am suggesting there's no reason we should fall in a hole and there's no reason a good team can't keep winning.
