Nice 1 stirling. It's funny you should raise the points about the similarities between people because I was going to post about the similarities between the 2 religions. A lot of people don't realise, and I only discovered this the other day myself, but Muslims believe in the virgin birth, they also believe in the 2nd coming of Christ and there is a chapter in the Quran entitled Maryam which is devoted to Mary who a muslim man I was talking to said is revered as the holiest of all women in the Quran. So yeah, Christians and muslims have a lot in common. It would just be great if everyone could just get along.... Edited by sitdownstandup (16 Apr 2017 9.56pm) Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all interpretations of the same root God.....They are the Abrahamic faiths. Though all three of these religions are also very different. To be very reductionist Old Mo was a warlord and Jesus was basically the hippy son of a pretty severe all knowing Dad. However, for the west what it boils down to is that the fundamentalism we have to worry about is basically radical Islam...if a guy comes into your house and attacks you there is little point in musing that his brother might have also attacked you if the circumstances were different..The circumstances are the circumstances. Majority secularism is a recent development in this country and I feel it needs to push back against any encroachment of religion onto the state's remit...the separation of church(insert religious building here) and state is very important...Religious schools, for example, are not a good thing in my book.

Point accepted but the closest I get to being threatened by any other religion is Jehova's witnesses ringing my doorbell. Like Britain First? They're pretty anti what it is to be British.

But it's ok to excuse all the other hatred in mainstream Islam, that conflicts with your views, such as honour killing rape victims and the view of gays being an abomination? Grow some balls, Michael. Your business takes you to India does it not where in some parts all the above takes place too? When you take a stand and refuse to go do tell so we can all applaud.

If you cannot defend your position of 'its 1% of Muslims causing the trouble, then just say so. An attempted personal attack that makes no sense in the context of the debate makes you look like you cannot defend your point.

Yeah i understand and it could apply to either side, christian or muslim... and i prefer if anything mixed faith schools as well this would increase understanding between religions and, hopefully, reduce the possibility of fundamentalism. Yep, I feel the same way.

Wahhabism is definitely the biggest problem in Islam. I very much doubt that it's at one percent....you are probably quoting some apologetic's lies using doubtful 'definitions'. However only a fool thinks that Wahhabism is responsible for the problems inherent within Islam. ................................................ You are right.Kermit was wrong,its estimated to be about about half a per cent. Wahhabi/sulafist ideology has a far more pervasive effect.That's the reason why we have the political/terrorist problems,not Islam per se. Islam per se about as responsible as Christianity per se was for the holocaust or the mass slaughters of indigenous peoples by the Conquistadores,or the Serbs' massacres in Bosnia.. Wahhabi ideology is a major problem today.Saying its Islam per se just plays into the hands of the Sulafist jihadis... Edited by legaleagle (17 Apr 2017 9.54am)

What was Assads motive in allegedly gassing his own people when it seemed it was already going his way with the help of the Ruskies?

To spread terror and fear more quickly and hence win territory more quickly. If you have military tools in your arsenal and you haven't been punished for using them in the past then to not use them makes them a useless commodity.

People from your side of the argument tried to surrender our arsenal while the soviet union was in full bloom. Even when they had plans for domination....proven by the invasions of Poland and other parts of Eastern Europe which quite rightly still have fears of Russia today. People like Corbyn are well meaning but bonkers and dangerous. Edited by Stirlingsays (17 Apr 2017 1.38pm)
