andy-hughes,When was the last time you saw/read about a christian cutting someones head off,or fly a plane into a building,or blow a train up?

[fender62]

ah, a call from there imam for a sleight...could be open warfare
third column and all that, do really really believe, they would not.
mr chowder head and hooky did well, and im sure still have followers
best we can hope for is the next or the next gen, let the whole thing be as it should, consighned to history...and we have moved on to a better society at peace with itself.

[andy-hughes]

Theland - // AH - you been drinking or simply unwell? //

Being rude and unpleasant as usual, in lieu of something useful to add to the discussion?

[andy-hughes]

fcc - // andy-hughes,When was the last time you saw/read about a christian cutting someones head off,or fly a plane into a building,or blow a train up? //

That would be never.

And your point is?

[Peter Pedant]

chechnya is relevant
they are all muslim there for chrissakes

Chechnya is predominantly Muslim. Chechens are overwhelmingly adherents to the Shafi'i Madhhab of Sunni Islam,

but hey this is AB and a TROP special so that must explain it

[fender62]

Peter Pedant, sunni most hard core, like the saudi and pakistan
death is cheap...what an odd faith it is.

[Deskdiary]

It is utterly wrong to tar all Muslims with the same brush over this evil attack, but Islam was the reason for the attack. This is completely undeniable.

[andy-hughes]

Deskdiary, I prefer to view the cause as a wilful distortion of Islam, rather than Islam per se.

[naomi24]

AH, //Logically, more numbers means a bigger percentage of extremists,//

Nonsense. Of the 1.2 billion Hindus and the 535 million Buddhists in the world, you won’t find many extremists.

When you consistently refuse to acknowledge that the problem the world has with terrorism emanates from Islam, why you talk about ‘logic’ is anyone’s guess.

//I prefer to view the cause as a wilful distortion of Islam, rather than Islam per se. //

If you seek truth, for obvious reasons, preferences must be wholly rejected. Anything less is irrational.

PP at 22:19 Sat, another attention-seeking moment for you - but as usual the crux of the conversation eludes you. Yes, I know … according to you practically all ABers are idiots … except most are not.

[douglas9401]

Preferences butter no parsnips.

[Deskdiary]

A wilful distortion of any religion seems to justify absurd reactions in the eyes of believers Andy.

Funny how the manifestation is violence. Actually, it’s not in the least bit funny.

[naomi24]

If, by Andy Hughes logic, greater numbers equate to a higher percentage of extremists, then Christians should be the greatest perpetrators of terrorism.

[Mozz71]

//then Christians should be the greatest perpetrators of terrorism.//

If you include historic events, they probably are.

[royfromaus]

I'm sure that's a great comfort to the people killed in the 21st century by Islamic nutcases, Mozz

[Zacs-Master]

It’s not meant to be a comfort, it’s meant to extrapolate Naomi’s statement. And I agree (with Mozz).

[Spicerack]

^Lefty logic.
At least he wasn't daft enough to mention the Crusades.

[royfromaus]

A stab in the dark here...I think naomi is talking about terrorism in the world ...right now in the here and now.

[Mozz71]

Jesus, are we so anti-Muslim that to mention atrocities by any other religion is being criticised? Religious fundamentalism is a f*** up whichever pretend deity is being worshipped.

[Mozz71]

In hindsight, "Jesus" probably wasn't the best exclamation I could've made then.
