Muslims suicide bomb Swedish shopping centre

Err, the fact that our values have led to so much intellectual, technological, social and political progress, whereas the values of the middle-eastern nations has led to nothing changing in those countries since medieval times.

I would say then, that in Britain, mainstream Christianity and Islam are generally quite similar.

But isnt it this exact anti-tolerant attitude that is one of the reasons why many of you dislike Islam? So really you are of the same calibre as the intolerant extremists? The only difference being that you feel that it is your intolerance that is more deserving of attention than theirs.

LOL I sincerely hope, for your sake, you're joking.

That's questionable.

In what way is it liberalising?



How can you be so sure? I'd like to see some evidence.



Evidence?



How do you know? Again, you're making outrageous claims wouldn't providing evidence

[quote-callum9999]I thought our actions were because "all muslims are potential terrorists"?

Yes.

I am bloody sick of people mentioning Christianity every time we're talking about Islam, as if that adds some sort of credence to what the Muslims are doing.

"Oh, but the Christians are doing it, and you're not criticising them."

I ****ing AM criticising them. I despise ALL religion in ALL shapes and form in this country - so trying to dodge one of my criticisms by comparing actions to those of other religious people in the country does not hold water.

As far as I'm concerned, if your belief system comes from ANY medieval arabic texts, then you can piss of back to where they came from and live in countries where the values of such religions are ingrained in the politics and culture.

Name me one great Islamic Scientific Breakthrough in the past 100 years (that has been discovered or devloped in a Muslim country) ?

Only a moron would think banning muslim immigration would stop terrorist attacks - I'd be shocked if they did anything other than increase them.

It's completely unworkable and I'd like to hear how you propose it could possibly be enforced. Anyone who looks Arab isn't allowed in?

Since when does being democratic mean we have to open our doors to undemocratic Muslims ?

As usual, people completely miss the motivation for the bombing and rant off in a different tangent.

Shame

If Muslims had not being generous enough to share the knowledge they gained during the Islamic Golden Age, there'd have been no Renaissance and your country would still be in the Middle Ages.

Did you quote the wrong person or was this question aimed at me (or aimed at OP)?

You guys should watch "My Name is Khan" film. It'll show you the different views of Muslims.

Go on, what's the motivation? The fact that a civilised and peaceful nation like Sweden has had the grace to share it's prosperity and security with refugees of foreign cultures, or the fact that it is tolerant enough to allow these fcuking animals to practice the same religion that justified their attempt at mass murder?

Oh wait, Sweden has peacekeepers in Afghanistan....

The sad thing is that the refugees who come to Sweden - the genuine ones, not the fake ones - have been clawing their way out of Muslim countries, now their co-religionists are closing the Swedish door on them. Wrong people are going to suffer.

Its a fact that Pakistan supports terrorist militants.

I cannot agree more. What did Iraq ever do to Britain is another question you have to ask.

Yet there are countries out like Israel mudering innocent women and children every single, causing absolute destruction and misery. Why aren't the Americans and British dealing with Israel's occupation of Palestine? These are one of many reasons as to why Britain and the US are targets for terrorists.

How can you possibly say something like that?

You think mainstream Christianity and Islam are similar when it comes to the separation of politicians religious, democracy, evolution, the treatment of gay people and et cetera? That is ludicrous.

The death penalty, for example, is one topic where mainstream Christianity in the United Kingdom differs greatly from mainstream Islam in the United Kingdom.

Similarly, the Catholic Church and the Anglican Church have largely accepted evolution.

In many ways. There is a reasonable level freedom of religion, they are improving human rights in the country etc. Basically a non-muslim could move to the UAE and publicly follow a foreign religion and live a free life (including things like drinking alcohol, eating pork etc.). No democracy yet though.

Evidence of what? It hasn't happened yet so I can hardly provide evidence can I.

It's not an outrageous claim, it's the very statement this thread is about... We should stop muslims because they are responsible for terrorist attacks.

Liberal muslims aren't a threat to liberal values - actually less so than strict christians...
