Amin Riaz responds to points made by GIK:

GIK : "....For a person who claims to be born in England - Mr Riaz continually demonstares poor grammatical skills. Typos can be forgiven (I'm as guilty as anyone on that front) - but the repeated absence of the indefinite and definite articles and many other faux pas point to maybe a lack of education , a good education but with poor teachers, living amongst a group of people with similar poor habits or actually not having English as a first language."

AR: "....Yet you did not give one example! And here wasted time on petty personal insult. As repeatedly those who cannot answer the actual matter that is being discussed ... but waste time on such trifles."

Mr Riaz is correct - no examples were supplied. Of course if someone refuses to believe an assertion - not giving examples is a mistake.

Some examples of very poor grammar taken from just a few responses by Mr A.R. in in the current thread (suggested corrections in italics):

"This is the reason Israel will never accept 2 state solution"

"This is the reason Israel will never accept a (or 'the') 2 state solution"

I can prove all very, very easily and he is not even aware of the basics of Arabic.

Mr. A.R: "...Yet you did not give one example!"

It stopped there for the sake of brevity - not because of any lack of examples.

MR Amin's other posts are littered with similar examples of extremely poor grammar. So which is it - a lack of education , a good education but with poor teachers, living amongst a group of people with similar poor habits or actually not having English as a first language?

The examples given show fundamental errors of grammar and would tend to indicate the latter.

"...Aside from this minor point - Dhimmi's arabic language skills clearly surpass Mr Riaz's. Would Mr Riaz agree? This has been demonstrated time and time again in response to muslims on this blog whose first language is arabic."

A.R. responds: "....You criticised my language skills ... but look at the above. Pot calling kettle black?"

GIK criticised A.R.'s ENGLISH language skills. It is yet to be proven whether A.R. has any Arabic language skills.

A.R. writes: " Dhimmi has NO Arabic skills.."

That statement is clearly false.
