Steve Shaw BS: Islamic radicalism . . . (1466* d) RE: BS: Islamic radicalism . . . 09 May 14


Whilst I similarly lament the absence of a central condemnation by Islam of what's going on in Nigeria (I suppose Islam has no Pope, but even having a Pope doesn't seem to help Catholicism to condemn in much of a hurry the rape of thousands of children or the removal of hundreds of Italian Jews to death camps), I demur strongly at your use of the word "jihad". Yes, I was very nasty there to Catholics, most of whom would want nothing to do with the disgusting activities of a minority of their clergy. Similarly, the vast majority of Muslims would want nothing to do with the actions of those thugs in Nigeria. So let's be reasonable and let's stop tarring anti-Islamic actions with an Islam brush. Raping children has nothing to do with mainstream Catholicism. I may be an atheist but I'm fair-minded enough to admit to that. In the same way, abducting little girls has nothing to do with mainstream Islam. So cut the "jihad" crap, right?
