(On the other hand, Catholic and Evangelical religion [classes, we have that here in Germany] are taught in Muslim grammar school in my native town [it's in the castel we pass from/to the airport, you know that, Steve] by Catholic and Protestant priest, and the majority of teachers - including the headmaster - are Christians. It's the biggest Muslin [boarding] grammar school in Germany. :wink: )

Well I think thats a good example of religious tolerance and understanding. But it reinforces my view that the same standards are not reciprocated towards Chrisitians in Muslim countries.

Bloody hell Pieterson out lbw 78 for 4 to McGrath

And I wish they did more public kissing and drinking. I'd have more respect for Islam. :wink:

So you'd have more respect for a religion thats geared towards premitting sinning?

We don't normally consider drinking in public, or kissing, to be sinning.

Bad manners, maybe. But that does not require a priest, nor attract much censure.

Are we wrong?

I have a hell of a lot more respect for religion that as you call it sinning than one that fosters suicide bombing and murder as it's calling card.

I think the Muslims ought to lighten up a little. Have a beer, watch the football, steal a kiss. Make a joke...especially about religion. There used to be an Irish stand up comedian called Dave Allen who was brought up a strict Catholic, who used to take the rise out of religion mercilessly. As far as I know the Pope never threatened to kill him or even had him excommunicated (though he probably self-excommunicated Smile

) Why are there not Muslim comics doing the same...?

Maybe they are frightened of dying on stage....literally.

about ten years ago visited casablanca and rabat and a cruisestop .
we noticed many rather large , fancy palaces surrounded by high walls - probably about twenty feet high .
when we asked our guide who lived there , he told us that belonged to saudi princes , merchants ... who would arrive two or three times a year for some serious boozing and partying . when we questioned him on the use of alcohol by muslims , he pointed to the high walls and with a smile on his face said that what goes on behind those walls stays behind those walls .
apparently those muslims knew how to party allright .

So they really are being hypocritical? Or can anyone come to the party?

steve :
i'm reasonably sure that "influential" ( :wink: ) westerners might be invited to some of those parties .
it seems that if you have the money , you are in .
that means that you and i are OUT ! Rolling Eyes

sorry about that !
