According to the BBC News,8 Atheists are on trial accused of planning suicide bombing attacks on British Aeroplanes. Will we ever escape from these mad men ?

Where is the mention that these men are Atheists? Surely they are Muslims.

brionon's attempt at irony AOG

[brionon]

No-My attempt to draw attention to the Group that carries out these atrocities. I could hve said 8 christians.

PS. Sneering is Not a nice trait Grummit.

The story holds no water. I am not convinced a group of atheists could plan anything together, unless of course they have joined the growing collective (almost, but don�t you dare say its a religion cos it aint) atheologist movement (meeting at a Watertone�s near you, sometime soon, but not Christmas or Easter).

Typically, the people that follow no belief system eventually exhibit fundamentalist behaviour i.e. they become intolerant of others who don't share their beliefs....

[Gromit]

No sneer intended, just an observation.

Why the obsession with religion. You wouldn't say...

Christian pilot lands plane in Hudson River!

or

13 year old Christian boy fathers child!

or

Christian Big Brother star dying of cancer!

[The Sherman]

Yes Octavius but do you see us Destroying entire civilizations because they don't share our beliefs?

[China Doll]

I'd happily destroy everyone who doesn't share my beliefs... They're all wrong and need re-direction or terminating.

Of course this is why no one lets me own a gun or run for parliment. ;0)

I think that all Muslim terrorist found guilty in the UK courts should be executed,

That might help to cut down the illegal immigrants coming here and save us millions on benefits for them.

[dabees]

The belief in God is just an adults way of having a imaginary friend.

An Atheist has no beliefs, or lives by doctrines.

Please stop associating Atheists with with religious motives and methods.

thank god im an atheist.....................................

[dabees]

For The Sherman.... Are you aware of the crusades? Just because it isn't happening now, doesn't mean it hasn't happened in the name of your religion.

I am a happy atheist, no murders are carried out because of my beliefs.

[fredpuli47]

Oh good no God! Wish there was one. He could smite all the illegal immigrants ! About time we had a bit of OT (over the top) smiting!

[Haggisdj]

dabees - didn't the muslims start that conflict by invasion?

China Doll - I'd give you a gun.... AND vote for you !!!

[China Doll]

You say then sweetest things Haggisdj... You silver tongued devil, you!

[jake-the-peg]

The muslims started the crusades by invading the Holy Lands?

300 years before the crusades?

Right! so presumably you think the UK started the Falkland war by seizing the islands in the the 1830s

As an agnostic, I find rants motivated by any religion disappointing (at best). This thread seems to have attracted some tabloid-type responses and may therefore not be a serious discussion. To the xenophobes I would point out that legal immigrants are just that and if a majority wants to change the rules then in a democracy they will be changed. Illegal immigrants do not receive benefits, I assume, at least only as long as it takes to deport them. In respect of illegal immigration, Spain and Italy have a far worse burden than the UK. This country (the UK) exports (by way of ordinary travel and settlement) many undesirable UK nationals whom people in the host countries would dearly be shot of but cannot because they are fully entitled to stay in their chosen place. Above all, from personal experience, it is entirely wrong for anyone to assume a Muslim is automatically a terrorist just as it is wrong to assume someone wearing a baseball cap (a US feature) wears a gun. There are many Muslims in this country and elsewhere whom I would rather associate with than some so-called Christians - these Muslims are as appalled by the atrocities as I and the majority of the human race of all colours, Muslim or not.

WOT ? Non believers intolerant of people who don't share what they ain't got ?
