Thats Islam for you the religion of peace

[Gromit]

// All of these attacks have initially been blamed on al-Shabab. But in at least some cases, subsequent reporting has suggested turf-wars between local gangs. //

Probably nothing to do with Islam.

Yes, it's not as though revenge attacks, or politically motivated ones, by some of the religion don't represent the whole religion, is it baz ? I mean, Catholics who murdered or shot Catholics for mixing with Protestants, or committed other atrocities against innocent people, obviously represent Roman Catholicism.

Didnt realise we were talking about catholics

does the phrase "going off on a tangent " mean anything to you

[Duncer]

I didn't say what cause, or any cause, merely pointing out the futility of attacking children, or using them for nefarious purposes.

baz, your remark was 'that's Islam for you, the religion of peace' which, I assume, was your response to a few Muslims killling in this instance, and intended to suggest that that act was proof that Islam was not the religion of peace. It is no more support for that contention than my example is of evidence that Catholicism is not the religion of peace, that is to say, none. If that was not the point of your remark, what was the point of it?

[youngmafbog]

I see, so Islam is the religion of peace is it?

Has something changed in the world overnight then?

[anotheoldgit]

It seems rather than blame the present day 'Religion of Peace' much easier to side-tract by blaming other religions in past history.

When are some going to face up to facts, especially in atrocities such as this?

They would be the first to post if innocent children happened to be killed in a war zone, or a Mosque blown up.

All beliefs lead to violence when they are pressed upon others , Religion and Politics being prime examples. Of the two religion is the worse because
it is a mixture of the two and based on mythology.
