J'accuse!

[Khandro]

Has boring rationalism, secularism and atheism squeezed out the very life of our society leaving a vacuum which is now being readily filled by Islam?
I read in an article written by a worried mother on her son's 'conversion'; Spectator 4:10:14.

"...Our boy had never shown any interest in religion before he found Islam at 16. We're atheists, and we raised him to be tolerant of all faiths but wary of anyone selling easy answers ....."

She seems to fail to see that there just might be some connection.

Khandro, I read the OP. He might not have shown any interest in religion, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t interested or curious. His parents raised him to be tolerant of all religions which would suggest that, although unbelievers themselves, they harbour respect for religion. It rubs off you know. ;o)

Khandro and Birdie probably share a hate for the Islamification of Europe.

No.

I have seen it, Khandro. Also read a couple of books by her. This led me in turn to Robert Fisk's book on his experiences as a reporter in the Lebanon 72-82 - Pity the Nation.
