The muslim religion is simply a decade or so behind us. And that's just Ireland. You should see the kind of christianity they practice in the good old USA.No, I'll treat all religion for what it is, a bunch of stories. I'll instead focus my fear and anger on the people who decide to use it to further their psychopathic tendencies.

Also Captain Obvious only points these failings out in threads that criticise Islam. Funny it always seems to be a defence of Islam using the whatabout Christianity tactic.Even dropped in the USA religious fanatics.Everyone knows how bad the Catholic church was,nobody needs it pointed out to them in your attempt to defend Islam. Good lad,you tried,god bless.

I agree 100% However,I very much doubt that you'll get close enough to the likes of this lad, to have much effect on his tendencies....https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/F26D/production/_90316026_tanveerahmed.jpghttp://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-37021385 With mainstream non-Muslim faiths losing adherents by the jig time,it falls to the likes of Mr Ahmeed to carry the standard for psychopaths everywhere in the practice of their faiths. Not much difference between the place you lived in,Captain,and the place the likes of Mr Ahmeed would seek to see you remain in forever,is there ?

One might wonder why the Floggers,in these cases,cannot find themselves confident enough in the practice of their religion to full face masks ? Perhaps they really are demons ?

Jesus may have been real but I don't believe in the aforementioned sky fairy at all. Still, it's a lovely story and after all, why not celebrate? There's enough misery in the world.
