Green Infidel just sent us this depressing but predictable incident involving the comments section of the Grauniad:
Earlier today I was surfing on The Guardian’s website. I thought you might be interested in some aspects of how the newspaper operates — namely its moderators… Seems a simple 2-word comment — “Mohammed did” — is now too much for them to accept.
I caught the comments below this morning. Fortunately, because a few minutes later they were gone… Unfortunately in my rush, I forgot to do a print-screen, however I copied the text, to store a record of what is “not acceptable” on The Guardian website.
On a typically senseless Guardian article commenting on the grooming gangs:hhhmmm

“Practising Muslims certainly aren’t supposed to have sex with children”.
Mohammed did…
To which an offended Muslim gives the (predictable?) response:
fazza

Response to hhhmmm, 9 May 2012 11:16AM
I’ve reported this. I hope it gets moderated.
The result? Both comments nowhere to be seen… Saying “Mohammed did” — in reference to his appetite for sex with children (presumably Aisha) — is now out-of-bounds at The Guardian.
Green Infidel has made a short blog post about this: “Mohammed did” — 2 words too much for the Guardian.

That's the Guardian. Not surprised.
Mohammed did! Egghead
P.S. My non-robot word is redunce. Indeed!
It's the Guardian of political correctness instead of the truth.
It is vital to speak Facts, because the unscrupulous will never make any allowances for trivialities, but they will nitpick and claim that you are liars.
It was unclean for Ancient Jews to eat the camel and certain small insects.
Jesus called the Religious Leaders of his day were Hypocrites, because they would stain a small insect out of their wine before drinking it, but that they would figuratively swallow a camel, and that demonstrated just how unrighteous their other actions were, and they were ungodly sinners because they covered up their sins.
There is undeniable evidence that God’s chosen People, the Ancient Israelites, planted vineyards and drank wine, and that Alcohol in Moderation was not forbidden by God.
There is undeniable evidence that the Ancient Israelites, even the Prophets of God and Priests of God, confessed that they were sinners, and they had to sacrifice animals to enable God to forgive them their sins.
If half of what the online book that is Titled Prophet of Doom, and; then it is a matter of great concern.
The second Chapter that is titled Devils, Deceptions, and Backrubs, basically says that it has been proven that the Bible has not changed with the passage of time, and because Muhammad claims the original writings were divinely inspired, and written without error, then, according to Muslims, all of the Bible must remain the original Word of God.
However, it has been proven that small errors have crept into our modern Bibles, because even perfect humans like Adam and Eve, did err and sin against God, and only Jesus was a perfect Man, and Jesus never erred or sinned, and He referred to Himself both as the Son of God, and as the Son of Man.
It is more precise to say that today’s Bibles overwhelmingly contain the Word of God, than to say that the Bible is the Word of God.
Today’s Bibles are 99.7 % exactly the same as far the original writings of the Old Testament, and they are 99.9 % exactly the same as far the original writings of the New Testament.
The few errors are known, and they are mostly made with numbers, and none of the errors affects any Bible Doctrine.
We know the 99.75 % that is exactly the same as the original writings, and therefore: What we have is the Word of God.
God’s purpose in giving the Human Race the Bible, is for Salvation, and more than enough of the original writings have been preserved exactly the same as they were written, to achieve that purpose.
It is like a Person who needs to buy a train ticket to take him from America to Canada for his new future, because his good friend has won a big lottery, and he has purchased a large home for him, and a has a easy and high paying job, along with a significant bank account.
The train ticket costs $75, and all the Money that Person has is $100 in mixed American coins and Canadian coins, but he can only buy the train ticket in American Dollars as he is in America.
He sifts the coins, and he discovers that he has $99.75 in American coins, and he says, I have enough American Dollars, and I can purchase that train ticket.
Imagine a large group of People are given a copy of this comment on their USB, and they were asked to randomly change 10 % of it without consulting with others.
After they received all of the corrupted copies, they should be able to bring back the original, because even though there will be errors, they will not make them in all the same places, and so by comparing the corrupted documents, they can bring back the original document.
Having 99.75 % of any original document that is considered to of great benefit, then that 99.75 % of the original that they know is true is useful for enlightenment.
Those who copied the Holy Scriptures went to great lengths to make exact copies, and those called the Sopherim who were professional copyists of manuscripts and documents.
It is a proven Fact that 99.75 % of what is contained in today’s modern Bibles is exactly the same as the original Divinely inspired writings.
