i know some of you are religious,thats your faith and i am happy for those that have it. to me religion is run past its used by date.
to me religions were started as a way of controlling or policing people and communities from with in.
how do you control 100 people or 10,000 or 1,000,000 ?
you can rule by fear a police type dictator ship or you can give people a religion
were they have a belief, after a few generations its that ingrained into people there afraid to do wrong,they will dob in there sinning neighbour as they believe what there taught is true.
not saying all religions at there core are bad,more so there followers.
have beliefs or faith doesn't mean a person has to go to a church/synagogue
even the bible says as much
bit off topic

As a sheep chaser!!! Unfortunately religion breeds intolerance towards other "chosen" religions by a minority of followers and some of those are fanatics

I think that is why we have a separation of church and state. So that religion cannot be used as a means of governing the people or that the people should follow a government approved religion. Unfortunately that line has been crossed by both sides a little too often or taken to the extremes. All too often it is man who makes mistakes and pronounce it as the will of God. Faith is not the enemy. It is the shortcomings of man that are. Just wait and see...Some other group will do a horrible act of cruelty and people will generalize and hate them too. The question is...who will they be?

but douggie as long as you love thy fellow sheep and cause it no harm weres the problem

yes its seems every generation or so we have someone new to hate.
this may sound weird but if we were attacked by aliens trying to kill us all maybe we could stop hating each other and become one world defending our planet.
then again it maybe be politically incorrect to hate Klingon's

To be honest, I am not a fan of women covering their faces, why are certiain Muslims so controlling of females in also many other areas and it is not an Islamic mandate to do this to show respect for their religion.

The Klingons are our allies. It's those Romulans you have to watch...

[crabstick]

thats my point exactly, if we choose to live in there country we have to live by there rules, but if they live in ours they dont seem to have to.
it seems more and more that we cant even voice our opinion.
i may seem to be generalising them but no more than them generalising us as the great satan,most of us are decent people

Im with Ozzie, im sick of the politically correct crap. Abide by the law of the land you are in I reckon.

[AndyKunz]

Because we are a nation of tolerance?

Then they need to start practicing it when they get here, instead of trying to have their own laws (sharia) within another country.

England allows that, and from the friends I have there, it's not going well. They think they can start to extend it to those outside their community - and that's exactly what they want to do.

[ozzie-crawl]

have you seen them parading the streets of London with signs saying "England your 9/11 is coming"
a country offers them a better life and all they want to do is destroy it.
i do feel sorry for those that are Muslim and tolerant of other cultures/religions

[Doby]

Then its time for those Muslim's that are tolerent to stand up to the ones that aren't. They have to help fix their problem. Then maybe the rest of the world won't be so suspicious of them.

[ozzie-crawl]

unfortunately its bred into them. picture says it best

[AndyKunz]

Then its time for those Muslim's that are tolerent to stand up to the ones that aren't.

Then they'd be labelled by the media as "intolerant." And by their own as "traitors."

[ReddyWatts]

We tolerate a lot of other customs and beliefs here, but we have a reputation of being the "World Policeman". IMO, that is where the hate comes from.
