Radicals

[lovejoy0120]

Why do you find Radical Muslims but no Radical Christians,Methodists ,Orthodox's etc. ?

Thanks

[beerbelly]

Because Radical Christians ,Methodists , etc..do not blow each other up if they cant get their own way .
Muslim is no longer a religion , its an excuse for murder .

see beerbelly as never heard of N.Ireland

[beerbelly]

Thats Has , with a H .
and the British & Irish governments worked hard to end " the troubles " As they were called .
however it takes 2 sides to want to end a war .

Initiating war with Iraq wasn't radical behavior? Believing that your "God" is right but theirs is wrong isn't radical behavior? Was it the Catholics or the Protestants that ended terrorism in Ireland, or did an appeal to reason perhaps have something to do with that?

There are actually many radical fundamentalist Christian groups. Particularily in America where they have been known to murder doctors who have administered abortions aongst other atrocities.

I've been visited by some quite radical Jehoviah Witnesses in the past. One old boy forced his walking stick through the crack in the door before I had a chance to open it properly. I quite adamantly said, No I'm not interested but that didn't stop him coming back two days later.
I'd like to think the reason they return so often is a bad memory but that doesn't stop them reeling off their religious banter.

the white supremist movement, kkk, etc. these are not boy scout clubs.

Of course you do. In America on a smaller scale than 9/11 of course, there is still an active KKK, there are also other antisemetic movements, huge amounts of attacks on abortion clinics (Army of God). In India a christian terrorist group deliberately set out to murder groups of hindus a couple of years ago. Its just not widely publicised. There are lots of very crazy right wing groups based in Europe, that may not have stretched to terrorism,yet, but it could happen. Look what happened to Jeremiah Duggan.

There is just too much hate around.

Some might say that Jehovah's Witnesses are radical. But you do not find them trying to kill those who insult their God, Jehovah. He is powerful enough to look after himself. Maybe Allah needs some help?

For Luna-tic...I apologise the the unseemly behaviour of one of my brothers. We have been expressly taught that such behaviour is unacceptable and if seen or reported to the elders, would result in a severe penalty. again I apologise...

[lovejoy0120]

Who agrees with me that if you saw an army of the KKK on the hill one hight with flaming torches and those spooky costumes that you'd totally freak out or have a cardiac arrest ?

Imagine if you found one at the foot of your bed one night......

Anyone ever seen one ?

[luna-tic]

Sorry pugwashjw, didn't mean to offend anyone.I am a very spiritual person in my own way but do not follow any already established religions. The old man I spoke of really should be more careful though, there maybe other people that might not be so forgiving if he intends to carry on in that manner.
I have simply solved the problem with a sign on the front door stating "No Religious groups" to call.
