Presumably we will cease to read your attacks on some posters political 'deeply held beliefs' then?

The thing is Matt, that political ideology can change. The British communist party were wrong to say that. Will the Catholic Church reverse their ideology on this issue? Absolutely not.

I love that atheists are described as ignorant by people who believe in talking snakes, Noah's Arc and that sacrificing your own child in the name of the Lord is acceptable. I genuinely don't know how church goers are able to stomach what they hear in light of the overwhelming evidence that there isn't a god.

Mao, Hitler and Stalin were pychos. This is clear. This is the desperate argument religious people use when faced with uncomfortable truths regarding the violence religion causes. Nazism is now rightly condemned. The swastica is seen as a symbol of hatred. Yet, as time goes on people still commit murder under the sign of the cross, they hurt innocent people under their 'deep held beliefs'. This is fact. You cannot run away from this. Mankind has learnt from Hitler, it refuses to learn lessons from religious crusades though out of a. Fearing to offend some people and B. Being repressed due to the fact religious institutions are still extremely powerful in the top echelons of our society.

I meant what I said Peffers.... if you interpret it as racist then there is little I can do.

I like the response from redblueyellow :-

I'm a tolerant sort of bloke, I still think there's a way to make multi-culturalism work in Britain.
Yet this story (and a shed load of others) about Muslim 'behaviour' really illustrate that there's no answer to stupidity when it's sanctioned by a religion.
What really fcuks me off is that they refer back to 'The time of ignorance' (meaning before The Prophet) and then use that as a cover for the most stupid and destructive actions.
Also, strictly speaking the Christian and Jewish faiths are protected under Islam as all are considered to acknowledge the same 'One God'.
Ignorance, hypocrisy, misogyny, intolerance and violence are becoming bywords for Islam and it's not all being done by antagonistic commentators but by the Muslims themselves.
If I'm reaching the end of my tether with these idiots, I can well understand the reactions of those with more Anglo-centric or anti-religious sensibilities.
Obviously not all Muslims are like that but it seems that the idiots are going to spoil it for everyone by finding justification for the unjustifiable in the Koran.
For now, I'll continue to trust the Muslims I know as friends and colleagues but beyond that......no, not any more.

That pretty much sums up my feelings about Islam too.

It's in their DNA.

When we ran India, the Muslim servants were the most troublesome.... the Hindus and Sikhs were pussy cats in comparison.

What other religion has a holy book encouraging it's followers to kill "non believers" ?

He also wrote "Imagine there's no countries" written in a country, stubbornly refusing to pen lyrics on an oil rig.

"When we ran India"

Ah yes, when Christian extremists invaded an independent country and killed hundreds of thousands if not millions of people for no other reason than enriching themselves and the East India Company

Still at least we are not muslim
