divebuddy - //Andy, You really are out of this world aren't you. Unnatural deaths may well be tragic but they are certainly not always futile. Lifeboats, for instance risk their own lives to try and save strangers. Sometimes they die themselves (e.g. the Penlee disaster). Nobody in their right mind would call their efforts futile- even when a rescue attempt ends in tragedy. //

A matter of semantics I feel.

I would not call the efforts you describe as futile, clearly they are not, but if a lifeboatman died and the victim was not saved, then his death would have been futile - wouldn't it?

I am going for a holiday in September to a Muslim country - Albania. I do not expect to be "radicalised" whilst there. If my memory serves me correctly the country is 70% Muslim, 20% Orthodox and 10% Christian. They live together peacefully and I have visited a mosque and various churches.

divebuddy - //It wasn't futile for hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers to die fighting the Germans. Surely even you can see that.//

Yes I can see that - because the fight was won - so obviously no futility there - what is your point?

// It wasn't futile for hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers to die fighting the Germans.//

hundred and thousands ? I think it was more like 29 million ( deaths during the Great Patriotic War )

The German Army killed the Russian Army ( about a million men ) ten times over and then finally the Russian army sort of won

"It is easy to sit here in safe non-violent England and gloat about the death of a misguided young man" .....

He sat in the same safe country as us.... but chose a different way to live his life.

///“As a family, we would like to take this opportunity to unequivocally state that ISIS are not Islam. They do not represent – in any way, shape or form – Islam and Muslims and we are no longer prepared to allow a barbaric group like Isis to hijack our faith.”///

If our treacherous governments over the past decades had not let them flood in we wouldn't be having all this worry and trouble now.
