Terrorists

That would be many Parliaments/ seats of power around the globe. Especially in the ‘Western World’

 

We don't do the long term solitary like they do in the states because it is against their human rights. I don't know what a great answer is but innocent people must be protected and zealots who put no value on human life need to be kept from killing the innocents.

 

or ban religions, seems that they are the cause of most of the problems

 

Religion is often what political/economic idealists hide behind so they can rally the masses and fight their cause. I’m not religious at all and abhor any atrocities done in the name of Religion (Or anything else for that matter), but often that is not just the case.

 

Always on this page, but I hate how "do gooders" as seen as the bad in almost every subject, particularly on this board.

Also, if you "just kill them" aren't you asking for more trouble as it will just escalate and get worse.

 

Yep, if their goal is Martyrdom, then killing them is feeding/ fulfilling their cause.

 

@Baka also raises a damn good point..... "Thou shalt not kill", but if you do, we'll kill you. So where does not killing come into it?

 

100% agree, I dont believe any religion should be pushed or even taught in schools, children are like sponges and the majority believe in practically everything that they are told by adults, once they get to an age where they can make more of an opinion or belief of something then crack on with whatever religion you want. I think the world would be a better place ( imo)

 

I see your point, but the religious instruction I received at school back in the 60s and 70s had zero impact on me, I was atheist then and have been ever since. I would think that the more important influences would be from family. If your mam and dad were devout catholics then the chances are you would be too.

Besides which, one of my funniest memories of school was an RE exam where the question was "Sketch the character of David" and my mate Steve drew a picture of a bloke with a towel on his head.....

 

I believe in the Golden Rule.

This is theoretically the same rule all religions observe, "do unto others as others would do unto you".

This is how I personally live my life.

 

I think religion should be taught in schools but in a very specific way. I think it should be taught in the way of "Christians believe this this and this, Muslims believe this this and this" with them all given the same level of coverage and an emphasis placed on how similar the various religions are and what they have in common.

What I have a big problem with is the way religion was taught to me. It was stated as fact. Easter is when this DID happen. Christmas is when this DID happen etc. And then when other religions were eventually mentioned it was all "Muslims believe this unlike us who believe this" and just the assumption that everyone is a devout Christian.

 

Well, all this terrorism is brought about by certain countries invading other countries and then backed up by countries believing they have done the right thing because they share the same political policies, stop Isreal taking land from the Palestinians and 90% of this terrorism would stop but it never will as the U.S., Britain, France and many more countries think Israel is in their rights. Anyone who tries to talk to both sides and bring the sides together for peace is either classed as terrorist or antisemitic.

 

We were taught in the first way, by a brilliant teacher who himself is an atheist. Really interesting lessons.

 

What about religious schools...

 

Personally I don't believe there should be religious schools.....colleges perhaps for when people are old enough to make the choice for themselves.

I am in Greece right now and the dominant religion here states that if a baby dies before it is baptised it isn't allowed to be buried in the church cemetery and must be buried outside the walls in non consecrated ground..... way to support grieving parents.....

 

Why do so many people want to bring Sharia law into Britain?

 

Also - pissing onto a toilet seat in a pub or public toilet.

 

Dont think their should be any tbh, only my opinion btw, I dont think its right ( I maybe wrong) ) that a child maybe turned away from a school because they dont have this or that particular belief.

 

A lot of religous schools in the UK are unregualted...
