To dismiss preventable causes of death just because it isn't a huge killer is wrong.
Seems an opportune moment to ask if everyone would be kind enough to sign my petition to get my wife released from Guantanamo Bay?
Cheers.
I get what you mean. You can't tar all Islam with the same brush, I agree, but it is *more* wrong to say it has nothing to do with Islam. Responsibility and religion don't really go together, but those religions need to take responsibility (which they can't obviously do without the whole sham collapsing) for their "texts" being used (not twisted) in ways that have unintended consequences.
The bible (the OT, which all the Mosaic religions are based on) says, you should kill disobedient children, that sins are revisited on great-grandchildren, that gay people should be killed, etc. and no one can argue with that. So no wonder there is so much crap done in it's name.
What a shame such a shit bunch of religions became popular rather than the Greek, Roman, Norse, etc.
Makes me hypervigilant..
My sister works not so far from there, generally I just avoid London, purely because I hate the tubes unless its midday lol

But we managed to get past those as we became more civilized. Religious belief does mature over time, but because the orignal texts can never be questioned for some, those original stupid ideas still persist.
It is Islamic extremism, based on a warped interpretation of their religion. Its very different to the Catholic/IRA axis, as I'm sure you know. Islamic extremism revolves around destroying the infidel way of life and establishing an Islamic order.
With the Irish troubles, the religious divides were a flag for the dividing factions of English and Irish, as the national religions of the two states were different. NOthing in the religious codes of Catholicism and Protestants advocated, or could be interpreted to advocate the murder of people. However, Islam can be interpreted so, and the fundamental extremists do, hence the agenda.
Extremism is the key word, so no of course I don't think for a moment it applies to all muslims. The extremism is inextricably linked with Islam though. In the same way that the Crusades in the middle ages were inextricably linked with Christianity.
It's fair to say that there are 2.5 billion muslims on the planet and a very small minority are taking part in these atrocities, but it's stupid to ignore a commonality of purpose tied to religious belief.
The dichotomy at the heart of the Manchester bombing was that a muslim exploded the bomb and the survivors were saved by a top muslim surgeon at a Manchester hospital. It's not anti muslim to state an obvious truth that organisations such as ISIS and Al Qaeda had primary motivations stemming from religious belief.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
