America has gone crazy

Well said
I couldn't find one that was easy reading for the whole world, so I started at home. It would be the same story in the US.
I do believe that if something isn't done then there will be more and more muslim terrorists though.
Did anyone watch the Panorama about online terrorists? There are new forums opening every day, with thousands of muslims signing up every month.
I truly despise religion.
me too, i just find it odd that some religious nutt is willing to blow them selfs up thinking they will go to paradise and all that bull... some nutt was on the tv yesterday claiming that the flood in Pakistan was caused by the Usa??? WTF?????
It really is insane.
I saw another programme on a 'religious history museum' in the USA, and they were leading around school kids and explaining to them how the world is only 6000 years old, and that carbon dating is wrong and we lived side by side with dinosaurs.
Jesus H. Christ.

I went to a Baptist primary school for 2 years. Not far from what they were teaching us. I fear for people who didn't move on from there and get a real education.
That's a totally separate issue. There was a theory running around here this summer (even reported in a couple of newspapers) that the massive record-breaking heatwave was the result of some new US weapon stationed in Alaska
People like to blame stuff on the Americans.agentundercover

Not racist, just unware of the facts & taking the easy narrative.
You from the UK mate.

Most terrorists attacks in very recent history....your probably right...over say the time of my parents lives? Not sure, but it's not so clear cut as to make one eyed statements like the above.

eye fink that all of this lark is a product of the polarisation of wealth & quality of life in the world. religions, tribes are all just badges. if it were not 'muslims' v 'christians' it would be reds v whites.
yours after a 2 bottle of wine lunch.
You have a point but I don't think it's quite that clear cut. Racism and the like can be bread out by and large, as has been proven. It's a bit more difficult when the more extreme religious members are convinced that god wants them to kill the infidels.

Christians used to kill the heathens too. Nothing new, really.
People forget that Islam is a relatively young religion compared to the other top 4.
I never said they didn't. My point was that you can teach people out of racism, but that's not really possible with Religion.

And I'm saying that as religions mature another 1000 years or so, they get less violent. You don't see people running around carrying out crusades or inquisitions now, do you?

That's not right though is it???? Islam's been around just as long as the likes of Christianity surely???? The crusades were against them were they not, hence the anger when W used the Crusade word...

Here is a web link for information on Islam. It is one younger of the four largest religion.

Big Mo lived around the year 600 CE so it's at least that much younger than Christianity and I think it was another couple hundred years before Islam caught on big. So it's considered a comparatively young religion. At least, that's what my university professors told me

He wasn't the origin, so the yarn goes, merely the prophet. It's claimed that Islam was around long before that. The time of Abraham and Isaac and all that broohaha. Kinda similar in an extremely roundabout fashion to old/new testament
Knowing that is one of the benefits of growing up so close to Southall I guess
A man goes into an adult entertainment shop and asks
the assistant for an inflatable doll.
"Would you like male or female?"
"Female, please."
"Would you like Black or White?"
"White, please."
"Would you like Christian or Muslim?"
This question confused the man, so he asked,
"What has the religion got to do with it? It's an
inflatable doll!"
"Well," explained the assistant, "The Muslim one blows
itself up!"
