Slightly pedantic but Catholicism is Christianity.

 

Terrorism has a lot to do with religion. As does war and violence. More blood has been shed in the name of religion than anything else. I include Christianity in that.

 

However, with Islam it is very much to do with religon.

And how the various doctorine within the religion is interpretated and to what extent it is followed.

 

Variants of a theme of course.

 

So we allow a tiny teeny handful of people who just happen to be terrorists and imply they do so in the name of islam. And we sweepingly take that to mean that all muslims are evil and terrorists, and that underpins much of the diatribe of migration and that other thing that's going on. The Daily Hatred and its derivatives have a lot to answer for.

If we allow a terrorist to speak in the name of islam, then all football should be banned forthwith, as it is the basis of violence, homophobia, racism and hooliganism. Of course that's ridiculous, because its a sport that anyone can choose to watch. And the 70s and 80s are long gone (though sadly not all knuckledraggers with them yet).

Religion isn't the cause of evil and terror, its a shield to hide behind. Mankind has an ability to be intrinsically evil and devastating and selfish. Blood has been shed for many reasons for millennia for its ideals, for land, for pleasure, for sport.

Its just a pity people allow their bigotry to influence, and swallow the dogma of the intolerant, hook line and sinker.

 

Religion is and has been used on a regular basis to further political and terrorist goals, however it doesn't mean the people that perpetrate those acts are religious. They might think they are, but they are not.

 

Far from it. My irony intended(maybe misplaced) was that any kind of publicity offered Barnsley is generally negative due to interviews being conducted during the day where some of the less contributory elements of my fellow townsfolk are either off their knackers on spice, driving past on a mobile scooter they don’t need or shuffling out of quidbake with their arms full of elevenses. The rest of us are at work making our way, therefor a negative impression of a whole area is made by a minority of residents.
To summarise, a few spoil it for the many.
Change the above example t whatever you want, hooliganism, insurance fraud, unjust drains on the nhs or even religion as is the threads intention

 

If they think they are then they are. That is the nature of religion. Might not be what 99% of Muslims believe but they are still religious.

 

I agree, money and power along with made up borders on a map cause more wars than anything else.

 

It is in the name of Islam. Regardless of how its suggested otherwise.

 

It's in the name of terrorists masquerading under the guise of islam. If it was in the name of islam, every Islamic leader and cleric would suggest it was so. However, strangely, when they speak against terrorism, and say its not in the name or scriptures of islam, that doesn't get column inches or airtime. Funny that.

Think about it this way, is it helpful to radical extremist terror groups, to lie about their intents, to use religion as a shield? If they do so, does it help recruit more to their cause? Does and has aggression from the west, destroying homes and lives give fertile ground for such lies?

Just like the Daily Hatred uses such mistruths to create fear and resentment to continue to pursue its elitist gentrified all white utopia.

 

The problem is it easy to hide behind Islam or Christianity for that matter as the bible and Quran are both texts full awful, hateful ideology.

 

Now just think how we could have some kind of union to remove a lot of those borders that have historically caused the wars in the continent of Europe. Perhaps it could be some kind of European Union, and just perhaps as a country we might want to be a part of such a project to protect our future generations...

 

Just imagine if we followed the doctrine of other fictional works and had wars in their name.

Hateful ideology comes from hateful people. Look at numerous hateful political groups springing up and the violence being carried out in there name.

Its people at the end of the day, they choose to latch onto whatever suits their cause, religion or otherwise.

 

And both based on nothing factual whatsoever. As far as I can see religion is good for one single thing and that is to bring comfort and peaceful belonging to people when they need it most. Other than that it’s a load of old conkers.

 

This quote sort of gets to my issue with religion.

Most people are good and occasionally do something they know is bad. Some people are bad and struggle every day to keep it under control. Others are corrupt to the core and don’t give a damn, as long as they don’t get caught. But evil is a completely different creature, Evil is bad that believes it’s good.

So I agree people are the problem, thats a given as we made up religion. Just wish we would all grow out of it like we do with Father Christmas and the tooth fairy. Grown men and Women who actually believe the stuff in the bible is very scary to me. Shows a lack of critical rational reasoning.

 

Father Christmas..... what are you trying to say?!?!?!?!?!?

 

Technically it’s not racist but it’s certainly bigoted hate speech. Like calling catholic’s bead jugglers or Hindus cow worshippers, etc. Not acceptable.

 

Sorry, I was joking he's real don't worry. But have you been good?

 

The Quran is no less and no more violent than the Bible.

I don't think any religion is inherently violent, deranged individuals can pervert it's meaning and sweep up vulnerable people though.
