In a post yesterday I stated that I thought Sam was a lapsed Muslim. This
was based on my recall of a post he had made years ago on this forum about being brought up in the Muslim community.
I asked Sam to clarify that my recall was correct. In the absence of that clarification I tried to find the post that I remembered.
After quite of bit of searching I came across the following post from 2008.
In this post Sam states "Lived in the middle of a Muslim community since 1983. Went to schools that were 60-80% Muslim. I've fasted to support my Muslim friends as a kid and been to numerous Muslim weddings and Ede parties. I know enough. I know that the Quran and Hadith a little and learnt a little Arabic as a kid (as well as a little Urdu)."
In it, Sam gives the impression that he is a non-Muslim in a Muslim community.
In other words, my memory let me down.
I want to apologise to Sam for getting it wrong. Sorry!
Apology to Sam Slater

Re: Apology to Sam Slater
Of all the things for David to apologise to me over...
1. Imply I don't care about Liverpool supporters dying at Hillsborough = deeply offensive.
2. Imply I'm a closet EDL nutjob = offensive.
3. Imply I'm a lapsed Muslim = kinda funny.
He choose the least offensive one to apologise to me.
Still......it's a start. Apology accepted.

Slater to me
"As for Syria......we've -up to now- not been involved at all yet the death toll in the last 2 years of civilians surpasses the civilian death toll in Iraq in it's first two years. Children are being tortured and raped in their thousands making the Catholic Church seem like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory in comparison. We know with Iraq that trade embargos don't work as only the poorest suffer anyway, so what do we do - pull out the popcorn, put our feet up and see how it pans out?"
Deeply, deeply offensive to suggest that I don't care about Syrian deaths and regard it as entertainment with popcorn.
"Imply I'm a closet EDL nutjob"
Obviously I didn't but I did state that people who go around saying they "hate Islam" and "Islam is evil" include the EDL. That is not the same as saying you are part of the EDL. You can share one view of an organisation without being a member of that organisation.
What you did call me was "disingenous, a liar, slimy, slimeball etc etc. and various versions thereof, non-stop for 2 months
Deeply offensive.
Do I demand an apology from you Slater?. No I do not. Do I get one? No I do not.
Ever the victim, Mr Slater. I will leave you to demand your apology from Robches again.......if he ever returns to the forum.
