In OTN's defence (if he ever needed one He is not an aberration..
He is free to say (or put in his sig) anything (literally). I dont mind. If I see it fit I will respond with some of my own stupidity , if not I will go to some other thread.
Carry on OTN.
I might not agree with what you say but I will defend your right to say it.
But,
Dont judge a whole religion by ONE website. Scriptures are often interpreted diffrently, even within the same group of people.

I once made a mistake, but I was wrong about it.
Mercury thanks and.. my response :-
I did not judge anything.. I saw something (" abt how the religion under question is a religion of peace etc.".. I had my opinions and then I thought fit to question it. If I did that without any basis, I would have been accused "shooting off my mouth". When I provide relevant links/information, I am accused of hate-mongering :d
"Shaadi ka laddoo, khao toh pachtao, na khao to bhi pachtao".. Neways my whole point (in the old thread) was the challenge some views which DIA had posted... I do not suggest (implicitly or explicitly) framing any opinion abt any religion/culture... But facts are facts... I cant ignore them (no matter how bitter they may be !).. I would loved to be proved wrong
To answer your question .. abt one website.. Here is another "official translation".. this time from the University of Southern California.. ( I am sure you can agree with this)

Again you're dragging. Mishtar already offered to take his words back and you're just going on and on instead of accepting that and moving on. You can't have effective discussion this way. You may be a young guy but please don't make it so obvious.
And you speak about political correctness being the trend here. Maybe you should re-read some of the comments you've made in the "Day of Shame" thread and the thread about Gandhi. Either that or re-read the definition of political correctness.
Anyways, I'm still glad about the fact that we can discuss this stuff without hurling rocks at eachother. Canadiandesi is blessed with many mature and sensible members and that gives me the confidence that we'll be able to weather many storms in the future.
I'll wrap this thread up by quoting Homer (simpson). "Everybody makes mistakes, that's why they put erasers on top of pencils."
