Quite honestly, that'll do the Danish police nicely. I imagine they will be very interested in some of the faces that showed up.

What an idiotic comment. You complain that religious people cause the deaths of so many innocents whilst then going on to justify an atheist killing religious people. Unbelievable. Surely we should be aspiring to live in a world in which no-one is persecuted and killed whether they believe or not. Presumably you are not in favour of democracy and free speech?

"An eye for an eye" is in the Old Testament also known as the Old covenant, this is justice / judgement. In the New Testament Jesus was basically saying there is a better way, mercy and forgiveness. Yes if someone hurts you then justice would say that they should be hurt back or required to put things right, but in the New Testament or New Covenant, things changed. Romans 12:19 says don't punsih others when they do wrong to you. Instead of taking things into your own hands the bible teaches that vengeance or judgement belongs to God and that ultimately God's will is that His mercy triumphs over judgement. So Christians believe that the bible teaches people about love, peace, forgiveness, which in fact we all need because we've all done things wrong. There are more Christians dying for their faith than at any point in history, about 100,000 per year, generally speaking Christians do turn the other cheek.

I have come to the conclusion that you are simply fishing. I can't believe that you think all evil would disappear without religion. And you are off topic. The thread was for SOBER discussion.

Jeez. If you know this goes on why would you follow Islam, even though people will say it is the radical side.
To follow a religion with the prophet marrying a six year old and the other things that are accepted and go on, beggars belief really.

Different cultures had child marriages which to our modern minds seem rightly unacceptable. Even the English did it. I would imagine this issue is cultural and not religious.

Agreed. But we will continue to kowtow to them as always as we are bound up with their oil and $.

Would that be the country , where it is law to convert to Islam if you want to marry a Saudi...or want to be a citizen...?

This is madness. What about the rights of the people living in England.

An al-Qaeda terrorism suspect closely connected to “Jihadi John” is living in London, having used the Human Rights Act to prevent the Government from deporting him.
Court papers obtained by The Telegraph disclose that the man is at the centre of a terror network that included his friend and associate Mohammed Emwazi, who last week was unmasked as “Jihadi John”.
The man, who can, for legal reasons, be identified only as J1, has close links not only to Emwazi but also to a number of other jihadists, including one of the July 21 plotters, who tried to blow up the London Underground in 2005, and two al-Qaeda terrorists subsequently killed in US drone attacks in Somalia.

The Saudi state is not the only country that carry out these "terrible punishments" is it. What has "our supposed allies" got to do with it, we do not make the laws, although i suppose in your world it is the Wests fault again.

Many things beggar belief. Why would some people in South Africa rape a 5 year old or slaughter young children to obtain their eyes and other body parts in the belief that the muti made from it, or that act itself, will cure AIDS? Just 2 examples from here that show that some people will do anything if they implicitly trust the person telling them to do it - in these cases it is cultural rather than religious (if they have any religious affiliation it will be Christianity).

John Niven's series of tweets on Islamic fundamentalists:



@NivenJ1 · Jan 7

Maybe we say to all Islamic fundamentalist groups 'ok. You can have your own state. You can have a massive wall around it to keep us out

@NivenJ1 · Jan 7

But the condition is: people must be free to leave your state. You can't keep them there against their will or force them to believe.

@NivenJ1 · Jan 7

So you crack on with the stoning gays and the beheadings and treating women like dogs and no art or music or booze. And we'll be here... 3/4

NivenJ1 · Jan 7

...With the Rolling Stones and Iris Murdoch and malt whisky and shit like that. See you at the finish line *****. 4/4

It will probably come to that in the end because, with dreadful certainty, Islamists will perpetrate a terrorist act of such magnitude that the world will be plunged into some sort of religious war with everyone forced to take a stance unlike the current wishy washy Muslim response of "we condemn this act as Mohammed was a man of peace and Islam is only about tolerance" whilst simultaneously producing thousands of potential jihadists eager to stab us in the back in the UK and elsewhere.

a number of Jewish thinkers have recently been looking at historical purges, pogroms and massacres from the perspective of non Jews and, courageously, have recognised that the Jewish practices of usury, political manipulation and otherness within host countries like Russia, Germany and others (Britain included) had led to mistrust and antagonism towards Jews and ended at Treblinka and Sobibor.

Muslims should spend some more time looking at this. The tenets of their faith are often in direct opposition to the cultures of the countries where they choose to settle. Muslims choose to live in western countries because they want to escape from the depredation and suppression they experience in their countries of origin...obviously by other Muslims...however, once they arrive here they seem to want to set themselves apart from the very people they have travelled across the world to live among.

If they don't go through this self examination they will suffer when the world turns its back on Islam in disgust.
