Everyone keeps going on about how clever he is but not even being able to understand what his job consists of strikes me as being a significant shortcoming, so say no more than that.Shuggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00298179140317536572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21959228.post-21543451372642980332008-02-10T11:45:00.000+00:002008-02-10T11:45:00.000+00:00A vital aspect worthy appropriate exploration conc...A vital aspect worthy appropriate exploration concerns if a provision could be made allowing flexibility and accomodation for Muslims according to a selected and qualified set of family laws.<BR/><BR/> Holding a meaningful discussion<BR/>say on BBC risks becoming a self-defeating exercise if an irrelevent set of questions is raised and non-qualified people like a tabloid's former editor and an ardent if not fire-brand champion of neo-conservatism are given front seats to shed "light" on the discussion. Are such elements invited for cool-minded reasoning or hot-headed <BR/>sound bites?<BR/><BR/>It will be interesting to know if any academic forum or any academic journals ever invited Douglas Murray to contribute to any exchange on comparative family law. How many places has Douglas Murray travelled and stayed in say the Far East where many ethnic groups live side by side and have recourse to legal provisions that simplify family law settlements. <BR/><BR/>One wonder if Mr. Murray is<BR/>sincere in promoting social cohesion or undermining it by expressing his evident passion to reduce any exchange of reason to a shouting match in my dictionary it is social collusion what he's seeking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21959228.post-19262458026126798752008-02-09T23:46:00.000+00:002008-02-09T23:46:00.000+00:00I have the flu so my article was quite bad but I'l...I have the flu so my article was quite bad but I'll come back to this issue when I feel better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
