Maybe because of the number of persons claiming that same faith that use suicide vests? I can vouch for this, I have worked with, been friends with, taught and been acquaintances with many muslims. Not one of them has tried to blow me up. Not one. They have made me lots of nice dinners and birthday cakes, and I've even been ice-skating with some...but not one of them wore a suicide vest. So every time I hear someone spouting some hate filled generalisation about muslims I see their faces and take it quite personally. Reality Internet Personality |

Much the same way the IRA used to arm small children with water pistols filled with acid to squirt at the British soldiers in Northern Ireland. Never heard it. And I have met a person from Northern Ireland. I stayed at a family in England in the early 70's and the childrens grandpa was from there. We saw the news on BBC together often when the problem was big and he never mentioned that story. The Childrens father was a British Soldier... |

Much the same way the IRA used to arm small children with water pistols filled with acid to squirt at the British soldiers in Northern Ireland. The father of my children is from Belfast. I have been there several times. I have been there when Catholic terrorists cordoned off the city with burning cars and hid snipers in the bushes so we could not get back into town without risking being shot. I am not sure what your point is. Reality Internet Personality |

I am not sure what your point is. I have no point at all. First of all when I was England I was very young. Then I heard stories from the family I lived with one from Belfast. He thought the situation was disgusting. And he didn't Think Catholic vs Lutheran. As Always when there is crises there two different stories. Since you have been in Belfast you are probably more "right" than I am. |

Israel "directly targeted" children in drone strikes on Gaza, says rights group This is difficult reading, especially if you have children. Reality Internet Personality |

Israel "directly targeted" children in drone strikes on Gaza, says rights group I dont have Childrens. But Reading this I get sick:( “Directly targeted†by drones I'm certain that the Israeli dont want to kill children and innocents. But the hit rate is about 60% correct when using drones! Ban Drones and call it Weapons of Mass Destruction!!!!!! |

Israel is seen as the promised land for Christianity, Islam as well as Judaism. No one wants to give up the promised land. I strongly do believe the current religious leaders are losing their credibility and therefore their power over their followers. It is only a matter of time before people's free will will get the upperhand and the truth will be seen by all hence the promised land will be given to those who deserve it. rOZZ Music Pictures |

Hope is an important factor in religious wars, they thrive on hope in that particular war, now that I come to read Janne's post in the hard drug thread and connect the two different 'addictions'... Both subjects have grave influence on the afflicted people. I quit nicotine cold turkey 7 days ago, must say it's the best decision ever. People who wage wars should quit 'the urge to win' and let go, they'd feel much better I think. Otoh, their collective consciousness overpowers their individual one is my guess. I believe 'druggies' call it the urge to 'score' .. rOZZ Music Pictures |

FAITH, HOPE and LOVE is one the the foundations of the Christian faith. Its probably the same or like that in all religions. Come to think about it. It's probably human nature. God or no God. |

FAITH, HOPE and LOVE is one the the foundations of the Christian faith. Unfortunately not all humans think like that Janne and traditional religion isn't based on that either. The original teachings of Christ were, as I stated earier. Traditional religion is all about money and power. Petrus wanted too much power after Jesus died, that's where he went wrong. rOZZ Music Pictures |

FAITH, HOPE and LOVE is one the the foundations of the Christian faith. That humans have different opinions on everything is natural. But give to much power to religious and politician leaders are bad. And keep silent about it is also bad. Thats why democracy exits. |

Israel is seen as the promised land for Christianity, Islam as well as Judaism. No one wants to give up the promised land. Fanatical religion is expanding in the west. Westboro Baptist Church, Terry Jones ..... |

Extremism in Islam otoh still exists and is the rotten apple that should be removed from the world soup of religions. rOZZ Music Pictures |

How quickly people forget about the Catholic Church paedophile scandals. :/ ...or the bombings and beheadings by the IRA. ..or most of the terrorist attacks on US soil which were done by Christians. :/ But keep pretending that the problem is just with fundamentalist muslims.

Good Point Es99. All religions has much blood on it's hand. Too much blood, atrocities and opression... |

As of 2011, it is predicted that the world's Muslim population will grow twice as fast as non-Muslims over the next 20 years. By 2030, Muslims will make up more than a quarter of the global population. By the year 2100, about 1% more of the world’s population would be Muslim (35%) than Christian (34%) Indeed. ...and it is rather terrible that this thread has become a vehicle for attacking muslims rather than examining the atrocities committed during the Israel-Palestine conflict. The message seems to be that we should care less about muslim suffering and that muslim lives are worth less. Reality Internet Personality |
