Oh, come on, Jim. You might not have any formal party affiliation, but it's idle to deny that your views are far more representative of a left-inclined position than any other. I suspect that, if any other interlocutor suggested any different, you would be resentful & annoyed.

As to those other faiths you mention. Well, Judaism is specifically and explicitly non-proselytising -- a club which, far from seeking new members, makes it difficult for any who want to to get in. The founder of Christianity did indeed declare himself the way and the life and said that none came to the father but by him; but he did not then go on and say that his followers therefore had a duty to kill any who failed to recognise this, and later accretions [Crusades, Inquisitions] constituted aberrations from, rather than followers of, his teachings.

The Koran, otoh, as Aayan Hirsi Ali points out, does enjoin the duty of Jihad and of militant proselytisation. Such activities are specifically imposed by its founder's own words on all true followers of his faith. I have ref'd two previous posts of my own which spell out my specific objections to allowing that faith to gain a worldwide foothold. If you are too idle, "can't be arsed", to follow them up, that's your problem. But it doesn't render militant Islamism any less of a threat to the world, or make this law-abiding majority any less, as any Islamist will tell you, departers from the true teachings of The Prophet. Just hope your descendants will not fall victim to those who do take his teachings and his commands seriously. I shall have none, so what do I care?
