They can't do that anymore, luckily.. Extremism in Islam otoh still exists and is the rotten apple that should be removed from the world soup of religions.

Be careful Julie -

You may be accused of Islamophobia by Ben Affleck, and others of his type.


People accuse people, that's what they do Clyde..

I think Islam is a beautiful religion, the Quoran is indeed a holy book. It is the people who act in name of it that go into the extreme at times and heutzutage, these days, we only hear about extremism in Islam. The Middle Ages were times for extremism in Christianity..

Indeed Julie.
The Middle Ages was the Golden Age for the muslim countries.
What would be science without there astronomers, chemical foundings, geographers and many more?
Here we sat in the Cathedrals and prayed to God to sort it out.

...or the bombings and beheadings by the IRA.

Are you certain of that & if so, provide proof. I've searched & cannot find any. Kneecappings & shot in the head, yes, but beheadings?

Cardinal likens ISIS to IRA

I don't like his views but he does have a valid point...

..."“These are not – these are not pure, these are not real Muslims,” Cardinal Dolan said of the Islamic State. “Now what we need and what Pope Francis has led the world in saying is, we need the temperate, moderate genuine forces of Islam to rise up and say, ‘They [Islamic State] do not represent us.’”"

"Dolan further commented, “Now, my Muslim friends here in New York will tell me, ‘One of the problems we got that you Catholics don’t, we don’t have one leader that speaks to us, like you’ve got Pope Francis. We don’t have that because there are different splinters of Islamic thought, of Islamic practice.’ But I think, if something good is coming from this, Chris, is we see the voice of measured, temperate, fair just Islam that’s beginning to speak up and say, ‘These fanatics do not represent us.’”"

My bad, I got the wrong group of Christians. It was the Protestants.

Very bad indeed.

Now speaking of today's situation...

But that is just the same as what is happening now. They were criminals who used their involvement with a terrorist organisation to cover their gang activities, much the same as what is happening in the Middle East.

In the past, they were labelled "criminally insane".
