Thread Name: BS: Islamic radicalism . . .
Subject: RE: BS: Islamic radicalism . . .
Every religion has its radical elements predicated on violence.

Islam in its inception supported science (Al Hazen).

At one point in history, Islam was enlightened, they were scholars creating algebra,
scientists, budding astro-phyicists and leaders of an open society. Today, they've been taken over by dogmatic and violent fundamentalists.   

Darwin never founded a religion but based his findings on Evolution through empirical science, leading the way to understanding modern medicine which has saved countless lives.

Darwin's ideas have been modified over the years as scientists discover carbon dating, dendrology to determine the beginnings of earth, animal behavior, and have lead to the discovery of DNA. Darwin's breakthrough enabled us to live better lives through understanding human chemistry and biology.

Blair converted to Catholicism which may in his case influenced his dislike of Islamic fundamentalists, aside from the anti-human propensities. Blair, as a spokesperson for
England has to acknowledge that GB too had its share of fundamentalists that wreaked havoc on the rest of the world, notably in India.

One of the by-products of religion is that it encourages discrimination and fundamentalism
in its adherents against outsiders, women, and non-believers.

For every WT destruction there exists another Oklahoma bombing.

A critical view of religion needs to be taken to show how it breeds violence and most wars.

Instead of being afraid of the violence of religion, it would serve better to understand the psychological implications of this anti-social behavior and reveal it to the public.
