Parliament is on lockdown after gunshots were heard outside the Palace of Westminster.

I'm sorry, but the lives of the people of Europe are more important in my heart than the feelings of someone who subscribes themselves to a backwards, mediaeval ideology. Political correctness has killed innocent Europeans, liberalism is killing us.

I'm sure you could link me to one or two instances probably but I'm sure your everyday blue collar guy/gal could list a slew of Islamic attacks from memory.

Ronaldinho wrote: » To your first point, the "Christian West". I see those two words as co-incidental. The West subjugating North Africa was about imperialism, greed, power projection. Had nothing to do with religion in my view. And yes foreign policy regarding the Middle East has been a cluster muck for the past century or more. We can't change any of that now though. On your second point. In that hypothetical situation, no doubt - there would be insurgency. Would it be carried out strictly in the name of Christianity? I'm not so sure. I'd have said freedom more so. Certainly in 2017 I think more Europeans identify with the ideas of democracy and freedom than they do to any particular religion. What do you think the West should do to try to curb the frequency of these terrorist attacks?

Even earlier in this thread people were arguing when it was said that we have it good right now. We are extremely lucky to live in a society like we do and it's only recently that this existed. If anything our liberal ideology that we have now (and that so many right wingers hate) isn't western. It just happens to exist in the west right now. There's no reason to suppose that it was always going to work out this way. People seem to think that there's a teleological aspect to it. It's almost like the US and their idea of manifest destiny. Still, even if you look at the world over the last 20 years, you'll see that western countries are responsible for far more deaths than the east is. We live in a relatively peaceful oasis but thanks to our actions there's wars and deaths around the world.

If the Christian West wasn't bombing Muslim countries, if the Christian West hadn't colonised much of North Africa, if the Ottomans hadn't invaded much of Europe, if the crusades... Ask yourself this: If Syrian, Egyptian, Pakistani, and Saudi forces had been invading and bombing various countries across Europe for decades, and levelling various churches and cathedrals, do you think that a few atrocities might be carried out in those countries in the name of Christianity? Huh?
