Someone should bin or rearrange this waste of a thread, especially considering the event in the original news article would make far better discussion.

That's the one and only thing you've said so far in this thread that I wholeheartedly agree with.

The problem with that argument is that you only addressed this one thread - rather than the persistent tone of your posts. If you're anti-Islam, so be it (I happen to disagree, but that's another thread), but twisting every news story that might allow your to peddle your rather one-sided views soon gets very tiresome, which then leads to what's happened in this thread.

However...

Would it not be fair to say that issue with any religion is not the faith itself but the interpretation of a religion by it's followers?

Back on topic the issue for me here is a peer that will return to the House of Lords. It is very possible that this Lord in the future could find himself debating and voting on the very piece of legislation, that being the Road Traffic Act that he was convicted under.

Your first post in this thread began, "He's one of the token Muslims...".

Just pointing that out...

I think like CBS said, it's high time this thread was locked

I see no reason to lock this thread it seems to be quite a reasonable discussion. I might move it to the 'serious business' sub forum though.

I'm not quite clear why you feel the thread shouldn't be closed. It began with an uninformed comment on the sentence passed on Lord Ahmed and then forked off into criticism of a particular obsession of an Islamophobic attention seeker who seems to have an unhealthy fascination with serial killers and sex offenders.

I suggest that the sentence passed on Lord Ahmed has been adequately explained although the Times Online article does give further details.

As to the rest, why not split it off into a thread of its own?

CBS hasn't asked for the thread to be closed and seems quite happy to defend himself, its a reasonable discussion about peoples prejudice and the vilification of Islam over other faiths, as such its OK in my eyes. I agree the original question has been answered but if we closed every discussion as soon as the original question had been answered then life would be pretty boring

It's up to the OP to request the thread be closed, or us if we deemed it inappropriate and I don't see why it should be closed.
