"Now point our any country or society in the world..."
So we have to put the blame for the death of a soldier on the people who have chosen to leave their countries of origin and live in Britain - do I have that right?

No, of course you don't. A complete irrelevance & I can't see how you could possibly have interpreted what I wrote to mean any such thing.

My point was that, altho the holy book of Xtnty does indeed contain certain injunctions to war against the outsider &c, they were way back then, not now. The injunctions of Xtn holy writ are not followed now to the extent of the execution of apostates anywhere in the whole world [my challenge to you was to name one place where they were ~~ which you can't becoz there are none]; whereas in places where Sharia obtains, apostasy or conversion to another religion is a capital offence, often imposed ~~ in Saudi, N Nigeria &c. Which is where your implied comparison by invocation of some of the more truculent bits of Leviticus is going to fall down.

But, I wonder again why I bother, since it is J Carroll that I am addressing; who always knows best so never listens...
