Hey Ho!

Not just he "debate thing" mate. I choose my topics carefully and debate only those rigorously. Mindless Muslim bashing (or bigotry of any kind) rates pretty high on my list of topics I am happy to sink my teeth into.

Cheers,

I am, in some mosques the only non Muslim, who does so. As an overweight northern white bloke, with close cropped hair, I am not a common sight but I have found a warm and welcoming reception, each and every time, as I have in a couple of synagogues and even a Sikh temple (Preston)

I am very luck to have a subject specialism that is welcomed and respected in all cultures. It also helps with my 'Each to their Own' ethos.

I love to ask questions and always find, without exception,that genuine questions are welcomed. People like to talk about what is important to them and share knowledge. I do draw the line at those who seek to seek to denounce others beliefs in favour of their own. I think they have missed the real point of it all and will ultimately never be genuinely happy, constantly seeking something, they will never attain.

Thanks EW -- Great Post -- just out of curiosity are you able to share what type of training you do?
