You, Keith, Boo-Boo and Brucie have all made a point of targeting Muslims on this forum - you have all studiously avoided the fact that Islamic radicalism is an example of a religious extremism that has occurred at one time or other in one form or another, wherever any particular religion has gained political influence, and is still a factor in connection with the Jewish, Christian, Buddhist religions today.
Keith in particular has gone to racist and cultural extremes to attack on single religion, while, at the same time defending the behaviour of a State that declares itself Jewish and has resorted to military aggression atrocities to expand the boundaries of that State.
He has also attempted to absolve his own claimed religion (I've never met a Christian so devoid of humanity as he appears to be) from any wrongdoings, declaring that the abuses that are happening in Christian countries have nothing to do with religion.
Between you, you are attempting to present Islamic radicalism as not only evil and dangerous, which it most certainly could be, but as unique, which it is definitely not.
Islamic radicalism is a part of a larger picture, much of which has nothing to do with religion anyway.
Unless we are allowed to discuss it in its full context, we are only left to shake our heads in disapproval of the behaviour of one religion and ignore that of all the others.
Israel irrelevant to religious fundamentalism - you have to be joking.
Sabra/Shatila remains one of the most horrendous examples of an atrocity committed by a state acting in the name of religion, certainly in my lifetime - and Israel can chalk up a number of other examples of such atrocities to its (credit?).
If I am being patronising, perhaps you aren't the intelligent and principled individual I've come to regard you as - I stand corrected.
