Re: bringing your kids up in Britain
By all means move to a country where they push homosexuals off cliffs, stone adulterers to death and implement other 'moral' laws. The disease is intolerance and ignorance being spread here by people whose values and culture clash with the ideals of freedom of Britain and the west. So take your hatred and ignorance, pack it in a suitcase, and go somewhere your intolerance is valued.
Re: bringing your kids up in Britain

Intolerance personified...
Re: bringing your kids up in Britain
His intolerance has led to hatred and violence, pack it up indeed.
Re: bringing your kids up in Britain
Sorry, Lajo. You can't play the intolerance card when someone rejects your intolerance. Intolerance of the intolerant is not intolerance. It's pointing out the truth. Tolerant people don't tolerate intolerant people. That's the only prepossession. Doesn't matter if you are male, Muslim, white, left handed, pray to east or pray to the west. Just don't be intolerant of those who do.
Perhaps if there were gay people that you knew, respected, admired and loved you wouldn't agree with your bigot-in-arms Kaleem when he says these repulsive people are "spreading a disease which will cause the death of humanity".
Re: bringing your kids up in Britain
well seminole then why cant u tolerate "negros"? they are humans too you know..
Re: bringing your kids up in Britain
He was only worrying about the values of his children growing up as any decent person would be...No doubt many Americans too feel the same way...
You are telling him shove his values and move...
Tolerance?
Re: bringing your kids up in Britain
If his "values" are to berate, belittle, insult and degrade a group of people because he disagrees with their "values", yep I am going to tell him to shove them. Just as I would if were directed toward any group - Muslims, black people, white people, believers, non-believers, fundamentalists, liberals, those who say Merry Christmas, those who say Happy Holidays, etc.
As I said, perhaps if have loved, respected, and admired a gay person like I have, you'd feel differently. Imagine those rural Americans who don't know and love Muslims the way I do since chatting here with you on gupshup. They might not know how inclusive and tolerant Muslims can be.
Re: bringing your kids up in Britain
He didn't berate anyone...The values of gays are contrary to his own so he was just a little worried about their effects on his children and he expressed them...
You, on the other hand, couldn't take it...It's not your fault...A majority of Americans hold the same my way or highway mentality as you and I don't blame you or them...You believe only what you are told to believe...
Re: bringing your kids up in Britain
Where would you move your kids to in order to protect them from these “liberal evils”? It goes on everywhere … the only difference is, things aren’t as open (yet) in other parts of the world, but they have other vices in their society to make up for the ones that aren’t openly being displayed.
Regardless of where you live, the role you, as a parent, play in your child’s life is what will make all the difference in the world. Teach them, guide them, let the know the difference between right and wrong. There are plenty of people being born and raised in the west who turn out “normal”, whatever your definition of the word may be, despite their surroundings. Wanting to shelter and protect your kids is a great idea, but it isn’t exactly practical. They will most likely end up rebelling and doing the extreme opposite if you ever try and control what they are exposed to and they may end up resenting you if they feel they have been raised in a controlling and stifling environment which you created in order to ‘protect’ them from these “liberal” evils.

:iconofblindperson:
No one cares and many would sympathize if Kaleem is “just a little worried about their effects on his children”. But he “expressed them” with a hateful and degrading (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=berate) rant. Then you hoist the victim flag as if you are the one being persecuted and degraded. 
You have no respect for others to live their lives freely then you blame others (a majority no less) of ‘my way or the high way mentality’.
And all of this hate because of how you’ve interprted a holy book? And you tell me “you believe only what you are told to believe”?
Re: bringing your kids up in Britain
I don't see any problem with the author on rasing his kids in a conservative society. If he is intolerant he'll prosecute and hurt gays, leaving a place is his choice. Every parent want their kids to have some kind of values and morals and if he believes that going to Middle East is the best way then good for him. Although, as person who has lived in the Middle East for six years I can say that your gonna have to 'protect' your kids there too because Racism and Prejudice is ever present in our society and is not limited to any Ethnicity or nationality. Its all about influence, make sure your kids get the best.
