Read the guest Keith.

Your insistence on calling something a demographic just encourages the outrageous crap a guest is claiming.

As you are quick to find fault with anything I say, why aren't you taking guest to task eh?

What does the demographic consist of Keith?

Male?

Age range is?

Religion is??????????????

Best part is, I reckon religion has a lot to do with it. I am quite happy to point out that group interpretation of scripture leads to people's minds being fucked up. I'm more than happy to say that social restrictions based on what people we told to believe can lead to subjection of women and young men being told and believing that "infidels" don't have the same rights as them.

But as I don't want to see a local vicar in the dock for conspiracy when a lone man cleans his guns because Jesus told him to, neither do I point at good upstanding Muslim citizens and say their religion is a factor in their personal outlook purely on the basis of not liking bacon.

I know plenty of Christians who wouldn't shag a whore rather than have a wank, despite their bible telling them otherwise....

Likewise, not every Muslim acts in a stereotypical way. On the whole, they may not be quite so boutique as many Christians, but we need to be wary of what is called Islamism, not Islam. The confusion between the terms purposely allowing bigots to use it interchangeably.

Saying it is nothing to do with Muslims doesn't help when abuse of a religious text is the community control aspect that has caused the issue in the first place. It is to do with misplaced religion not religion. But to ignore the destructive power of religion gets you nowhere.

Especially when you mean to really eh? But only perhaps because you support the other team.....
