Anyone who reads this stuff must know me by now.....politically on the left...very tolerant...understanding...always try to engage the brain before judging...distrust common sense... believe in a certain goodness in people...etc..........
Just watching a demo on TV of Islamic militants carrying posters saying - behead those who insult the Prophet... exterminate...kill those who attack Islam...............clearly....... obviously... not speaking for all Muslims...but I felt it so disgraceful that troops wading in to arrest them and smash their posters would have really pleased me........... Maybe the old story...it is good to look deeply for the roots of social problems and disaffection...why they hate etc...but you can't allow vile behaviour to continue however much you may understand about where it's coming from........it's a bit like watching the Puritans burn witches or heretics.... 300 years out of date.. but sometimes think that the only answer to religion is Prosperity....more money...more scope for advancement...and often people soon adapt their religion to support mammon .... sad ??

THE PROBLEM HERE MY FRIEND IS THAT THESE MORE MISGUIDED PEOPLE DO USE THE REMEDIES OF 300 YEARS AGO TO SHOW THERE ANGER.INSTEAD OF PROCLAIMING THEIR RAGE,AS MANY CHRISTIANS DID WHEN MONTY PYTHON GAVE US THE" LIFE OF BRIAN" AND THEN GET ON WITH IT--THEY SEEK REVENGE FOR BEING LAUGHED AT.SO WE CAN LAUGH AT OURSELVES--THEY CAN LAUGH AT US----BUT DON'T DARE LAUGH AT THEM---NO SOLUTION I'M AFRAID--IT CAN ONLY BE FIXED FROM WITHIN THEIR OWN RANKS.
