I also love the comment about 'left wing interpretation of multi-culturalism'.
Shouldn't that mean 'right-wing interpretation of the what they think is the left wing interpretation of multi-culturalism.'
Dwad - On a wholly unrelated topic have you been following 'A history of Christianity'?

Get posting then. I'm off to do actual work now so you could shoot past me in posting stakes if you get onto this afternoon.
I don't like the post count, by the way. Reminds me how worthlessly my days are spent.

theres feck all wrong with imigration, no one has any right to say that you cant go there or come here, providing you can support yourself without milking others. What is diabolicaly wrong is the benifit system.

Dwad - On a wholly unrelated topic have you been following 'A history of Christianity'? I haven't. To be honest I've pretty much stopped watching anything on TV about Christianity for or against because both tend to be hugely simplistic, heavily partisan acts of self-interest. I read an Andrew Billen review of it that said it was brilliant and innovative because of XYZ that he was unaware of. The fact that he was unaware of them is why he's a TV critic and not a religious correspondent. |

Well I'm not sure if your assessment is accurate (as I've only watched one) but it didn't seem like the kind of show you describe.
Anyway the last one was 'Jesus the Jew' or something like that. It was really, really good. I may try to watch the next in the series , as it looked interesting but I forget what it is to be about.

Although admittedly the episode I watched was maybe a tad 'anti-Christianity' but only in relation to the concept of the blood libel and the affect it had on Jewish populations within Europe for centuries after the death of Christ.
But still good nonetheless.

'Abraham Isaacson'? Surely you mean 'Howard Jacobson'?
Minge he was a partisan presenter but maybe understandably and it was still good.

It was an alright programme Vania but I just hate Howard Jacobson for being an ignorant middle-class intellectual cnut

Conflict of interest much? No, Dwad you're doing the same mistake normally less intelligent posters make of assuming that his faith/name would automatically make him partisan. In this case you probably have a bti of a point, but it was all fairly factual and I don't think anybody at all, in the slightest would deny that the roots of European anti-semetism lie in Christianity and the blood libel. However he did express a little too much shock at times of how Jews were treated centuries ago, seeming to forget that Europe was a pretty backwards barbaric place to all an sundry centuries ago. |

'Abraham Isaacson'? Surely you mean 'Howard Jacobson'? It was meant to be an ironic stab at a Jewish name. I didn't realise it was so close. Just pointing out if televsion producers ask the Pope for his take on Christianity it will probably be a Catholic one. I just don't think it's something anyone really approaches with an even hand. |
