Michael,

before education kicked off in Europe in a big way, we too behaved in a similar fashion, thinking we could rule the world, and you know what? We had the church to tell the ignorant peasants God wanted it thus.

I repeat. Today's issue is Islamic radicalisation. However, many religions, including Christian, Judaism, Sikh, etc etc have present day examples of killing in the name of their particular imaginary friend.

Just because it is every horrid worrying, despicable threat we can imagine doesn't make it unique. It doesn't make Muslims "decent" it makes them er.. people. I don't blame our local vicar for the Serbian massacre of Muslims. I don't point at Indian people and ask how many Muslims were slaughtered in order to get the popular vote in the Indian election...

The problem with you, with Keith and others is that you appear incapable of seeing the bigger picture. You jump on the back of anyone who doesn't think Islamist radicalisation is the only problem ever. Ask the people of Palestine what they think when men in black coats, hats and ringlets nod their heads on Arab land claiming God gave it to them instead. I notice they can't find the deeds with their God's signature on it...

If you think Islamic radicalisation is a religious thing, you must have been reading the simple ignorance Bobad shows in his posts on this matter.
