Not surprising that this study done by the religion of peace thinks so but is it the truth or do the public have an uncannlily accurate view?

but you still haven't explained how banning a religion would prevent all the evil
activities you described.
For that matter how could you ban something that is in a person's mind.
By all means ban the entry of Mullahs or the Pope if you like but you can't ban a belief.
Most countries in the world have tried to ban religions at different times and it never worked or stopped any of those evils you described so graphically. Putting f------ in front of a word doesn't enhance the statement it only shows a lack of literary skill on the part of the authoir.

Going back to R1G's OP - the answer to the question is Yes, many people I have spoken to have not got a clue either about Islam, or most of the other religions either, come to that. Their view is that it's nothing to do with them, why should they want to know about it - a bit like I'm not interested in American football. Sad, but true.

I hasten to be shot down as I never venture here usually, I was born and brought up RC and apart from a feeling of guilt early on, I soon realised that there was room for modern ways, indeed when I was a teenager I became aware that parish priests were counselling their parishioners not to leave the faith if they used contraception, but to confess it every so often and get absolution.
There are fanatics in all faiths who will abuse it to their own ends, and we can do little to prevent that.

Thanks steve your last two posts were far more informative as to what you actually meant .
As for your the use of f....and p.... I'm not convinced. The English language has the richest vocabulary of all the other languages in the world, which allows us to express contempt,derision,adhorrence, frustration , denigration, odium etc
I'm sure you know many more which coupled with your fundemental beliefs would carry far more weight than using artificial words that nowadays are so common they have little impact .

There is a difference between religions - although within all religious there are the fundamentalists in most religions there are degrees as well as some scepticism in the way the faith is inflicted and although there was some complicity whithin the RC church for terrorism there was also a strong condemnation by both the church and othe catholic nations.
This as far as I can see doesn't happen with Islam does it a number of countries apper complicit and none of the others condem it.
Apart from that, Steve.5 is bang on the money ban it all at least until you can prove it.

The article in the link is fairly long, so maybe people can't be bothered to read it - but they should.

stebve I think I owe you an apology when I criticised your use of f......and p....... I now realise both letters were used by Shakespeare and Chaucer , they stand for fiddlesticks and poppycock. In future whenever I see those letters I will think of you and those words and know they were written by a scholar.
