No they don't, but, then again, the mind-numbingly bigoted and idiotic views of muslim fundamentalist groups don't help things in the slightest, either!

Idiotic views (without action) rarely maim or kill either.

It's the very fact that we don't now who they are which means they could be anybody. If a respected doctor can turn out to be a terrorist people end up wondering just who they can trust and that is what is backfiring on innocent muslims.

I don't see how terrorism can ever be condoned even if the terrorists have laudible goals. The end can never justify the means when innocent lives are lost. It's not the same as the innocent being caught up in the cross-fire. In these acts it is the innocent who are actually being targetted.

read a report today (true or false?) that there is at least 8 in the Police Force,one of whom was found to have videos etc of beheadings on his computer, he claimed it was to provoke political discussion, this guy is still a serving officer! apparently they cannot take action cos the info came from our secret service,so it is against the LAW to take disciplinary action. if this claim is true,there is NO CHANCE, of sorting the problem out in my eyes.

If that is true Cashman then we have gone beyond hope. I foresee Armageddon round the next corner.

When Islamic Fundamentalists, whatever the name of their group, commit some horriffic act, public outrage seems to extend, in many minds, to the whole muslim community. Why does this not happen with Christianity? When a bible belt bubba, shoots a doctor who has been performing abortions, it doesn't, to the vast majority of people, reflect upon all Christians, or even all fudamentalist Christians. Just and idle thought at and idle time.

Well, we haven't had that happening over here.....in fact the Bishops are very weak at standing up for Christian tenets in any shape or form, so i guess it isn't likely to happen, but then again you never know.
The huge influx of Polish people has meant that lots of churches are finding congregations are filling up again.
I think we, as a nation are very tolerant of the views of others.

That depends on your definition of innocent. The bombers don't think their victims are innocent.

I don't think the campaign will do anything to prevent terrorism, I think they are just trying to distance themselves from it.

WillowTheWhisp · 08-07-2007, 14:17

How can they not think their victims are innocent? What do they think those victims are personally responsible for?

I believe that one day these terrorists will have to answer to God for their actions and he will then be the one saying 'Not in my name.'

Margaret Pilkington · 08-07-2007, 15:09

I don't think the campaign will influence anything really....it is just paying lip service....and what is really required is strong and definitive action to identify those responsible for fostering and sponsoring terror. Having said that, it is a step in the right direction, so it can't be a bad thing.
