Oh God, they're so embarrassing.

This is the kind of thing we're dealing with. Badr has written in to comment on some old guff. He's comparing the relationship with God to the relationship between parent and child, and says this to Madeleine Bunting.

You have kids I presume? Did you "encourage them to be lawyers, doctors, etc ..."? Even if you don't and you didn't, it's common for parents to do so, even though they don't "own" their kids. Children opposing their parents in the matter of simple career choice (particularly if the child wants a rather outlandish career), is seldom tolerated.

Umm, no, Badr. When children grow up, we let them choose their own careers. That's because they're free adults. I bet yours are cringing right now.

Great to see some debunking of this sham "debate". Thanks.

Oh, and never mind choosing jobs - sexuality's the big one.

"... forcing Islamic homosexuals into sham marriage and a secret sex life.

THE marriage proposal described the prospective groom as a successful and devout second-generation British Pakistani who would pride himself on showing duty and kindness to his new family.

But it was the finer details of “Muslim Man’s” offer, recently posted in an internet chatroom, that might concern his future in-laws and lead them to see their own daughter in a new light. “I am looking for a bi- Muslim woman,” he wrote. “Someone who aspires to stability whether that is as husband and wife, or as husband, wife and same-sex partners.”

Be sure that the hot water if you're found out will be BOILING!
