#1 Maybe the good cleric ought to bag Islam as a bad experience and a dead end, no pun intended. He needs to look around for a new profession. Don't be a martyr for morons.

#2 Cast out by the majority Islamic community in Dublin for his outspokenness, the 50-year-old preacher says he has received death threats. I am standing firm in my beliefs, Satardien says. The truth is more important than being popular or living a quiet life. Extremism has infected Islam in Ireland. Its time to get back to the spiritual aspect of my religion and stop it being used as a political weapon.

I'll have to say "Amen, preach it!" to his comment about the truth.

One of the keys to Islam's strength is that the founder had a history of ordering the deaths of his opponents, and his successors claim the same right. Christianity got the same dubious "right" when the pope became the administrative head of the Western Roman Empire

#3 Islam, like Ptah, cannot seperate the political from the religious, a primitive view found in the uninformed and small children. If the radicals try anything in Ireland does anyone really think a people who fought the British for 500 years are going to just roll over? The 'elites' might, but not the ordinary people, you know the folks who invented guerilla warfare... The only dead end is being a radical muslim in Ireland.

#4 Headline should have been, "Lone moderate Iman ousted by pro-terrorism majority"

#5 Ptah is one of the few people I've never, ever found reason to pin the label "uninformed" on. Of course, there may be those who do not agree with my standards...

Being a radical imam in Eire hasn't yet proved deadly, for some reason. Perhaps the erudite Cromoper Glinens6509 would care to explain to the rest of us just why this might be so.

#6 do you think Islam separates the religion from the political? Who's naive and uninformed? If you want to take potshots, Cromoper, at least have the guts to pick a nym, taint it your very own special way, and suffer the backlash.

#7 Cromoper Glinens6509, advisory: I doubt if you could pick up Ptah's jock strap. So please pick a name and join in so you can get to know us and we can get to know you.
