"The real problem is the three monotheistic religions, Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Any lip service to peace and brotherhood they bullshit on about has been more than wiped out by the massive numbers of people killed over the years because of them - I hate the lot of them - utterly worthless wastes of time - before they were spawned religious intolerance was pretty well unknown in Europe. Christianity can take zero credit for being (just barely) more civilised than the Muslims, this is entirely due to the rise of secular humanism, and exists only because (in civilised parts of the world, ie not America) it has more or less had its teeth drawn. It's true we now have Hindu Nationalism (the BJP) but we can thank the others for this mutation of an otherwise undogmatic religion. Be a Pagan like me!"

"It's strange that 'pillocks using religion as an excuse' always seem to be from these three faiths - coincidence? I don't think so."

"Time you learned to read Carol C"

"Carol, Carol, Carol. I'm starting to think you must be a bit thick"

"Carol, I'm sick to death of your absurd hysteria"

"I don't know if there's an internet equivalent of verbal diahorrea, but if there is Carol C has got it bad!"

"Just come back to this thread - can't believe CarolC is still in her flower-scented dream-world re. the Muslims are no more disposed to violent fundamentalism than anyone else - oh pleeeeze Carol, wake up or shut up (fat chance I know)."

"My God, how you love to write, or transcribe, or whatever! All a waste of time..."

"With regard to your very lame response..."

"My last post was of course, addressed to the ubiquitous CarolC."

"I find the words of thoughtful people who have been, seen for themselves and researched their travels infinitely more convincing than your pathetic Google-reliant flailings."

"Unlike yourself I do not like talking rot about what I know nothing about."

"Your last post on this subject is quite remarkably incoherent"

"Watching CarolC try to argue that Islam is no worse than any other religion is like trying to watch a worm wriggle off a hook with an especially large barb."

"You are not by any chance a stuck record player are you CarolC?"

"You've certainly posted with your usual incredible prodigality CarolC (man 0 man - 13 of the last 20 posts, and often very long ones - don't you think that if your arguments were stronger they would need less scaffolding?)"

"There has not been many laughs on this thread, but CarolC's pathetic attempt to equate severe spankings by some loony Christian with crowds of people stoning to death Muslim women is certainly risible! (unless you happen to care about women's rights of course). How sick can one be to dismiss medieval barbarism against innocent women to save one's ego in an argument? What planet is this woman on? CarolC, your heart is in the right place but your brain is in your head, which is up your arse. And yes, that is an insult."
