Subject: RE: BS: Islamic radicalism . . .
Radicalisation is ugly. It is wrong and it is dangerous.

It is not a product of Islam. It is a product of politics. What you can't get by the ballot box, get by telling thugs they are doing God's work.

The problem as ever is that many people are shallow enough to believe what they are told if they are also told God wants them to do it too. Witness the so called jihad. Also note the Anglican Church in Uganda supporting death sentence for being gay.

Voltaire yet again. Those that can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

There are over 65 million people in The UK. Less than a million go to church , yet our Prime Minister wants to piss off non Christians even more. Rational people can and will ignore the cynical political posturing but other people with a different imaginary friend will feel isolated and threatened.

Well done Cameron. You and your tambourine rattling idiots show the ugly side of religion, regardless of flavour. Make no mistake, Bliar's intervention was planned to pounce on Cameron's Jesus kick. Party politics are nothing when it comes to trying to drag us back to a superstitious dark age.

Fuck 'em. All of 'em.
